soft damp heather squashed
hot lips and passion now spent
two naked bodies

A torrent of life,
Bursting like a bud in spring.
Face squashed to a smile,
Leading me with eager grip
To the see-saw and the swings....

Spring and summer swoosh and swish
Seasonal changes squeezed and squashed
Winter and fall flow past by
Like all the yummy treats you buy...

Big mulberry tree
yields a bounty of berries
during the late spring.
So many purple berries
fall to the ground and get squashed.

Ruby was round and fat,
She was always careful where she sat.
When she travelled on a bus
Her size caused quite a fuss
Because she squashed other people flat....

Repeating doubts
Squashed between
Brackets in my 
Head; they clog
The free-flow!

Freedom to let
My mind wander
To and fro,
Like it does
When I'm happy!...

Small insights
You feel flat,
Your head is mashed,
Squashed, your thoughts
Are by shadows hand
Clearly invisible, you love
Not me, I am to clear-
Ly wrong for love...

but for those who know the truth,
it shimmers, yearning for love.

Hearts callously squashed,
rise from mists assuring us,
injuries are forgiven....

Mammograms detect cancer
Please kiss me better

Follow up to my mammogram poem – my poor aching ‘Bristol Cities’

her fantasies oft left her burned.
Instead of rude princes,
she’s switched to cheese blintzes
and Uber for carriage returns.

There was a vampire House of Pain 
It was the neighborhood’s chief bane
	Blade and Whistler found it
	Squashed it and those ‘round it
Now they call it the House of Tame

I saw once a dancing big, yellow bee,
Its communication routine of shaking filled me with glee,
Then I reached out to whoosh it from my bed,
Poor little thing was squashed by my hand instead....

Peter Pumpkin recently got squashed
That was really quite corny, oh my gosh
Got veggies on the brain
From corn I'll refrain
D'ya hear bout the artichoke that developed a cough...

Grouchy blue corpulent cat knew where it was at
She loved her girth, enjoyed her muscles and fat.
Dancing to a square dance, she squashed many a gnat
Enjoying his days, singing rat-a-tat-tat.

Today I met a mosquito
It wasn’t very fun
She bit me here, she nipped me there
(she even bit my bum)
But I had the last laugh...
I squashed her with my thumb!

Between fingers, the 
red sips on. A mash mellow 
heart is squashed.
I bring pain with me, I break
hearts. I have broken again.

a spider the size of a small cat 
came crawling round the curbside bend 
wondering what he could eat 
worms ? snails ? frogs? lizards ? bats? 
perhaps even cat 
Trick or treat mate 
your squashed, 
Bye !...

Her husband ran across a road;
The bus was speeding, so I’m told,
And squashed him flat.

She wished she had the heart to cry,
His ashes in her mouth and eye;
She only spat.
