Short Squeeze Out Poems

When life gives you lemons,
squeeze out every drop.
Have you a drink, 
because thats all you've got.
The taste maybe bitter
But in time, that will change.
Just add a little sugar
Sweetness goes a long way...

Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply. 
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death....

Barefoot on river rock
his soles squeeze out a sigh.
One foot, the next, and
then again the first.
The flesh’s whispered prayer
revisits metamorphosis
grown cold. Oh, it rises 
bone by bone. His vesper’s
arched in stone....

Raped
Word by word
Thought by thought
Unbutton the robe; you look good
Take out the veins and blood itself; you look amazing
Break the bone to pieces and squeeze out the marrow;
You look beautiful
Bare and naked
Thought by thought
Word by word
Raped I am

bleed me
let it squeeze out
this bile has filled me
and animates what otherwise has been hollowed 

love me
fill me with something pure
some light long died out
rejuvenate this broken form

take the broken, and call it worth loving
take the tired and ugly, and call it beautiful
don't let this sad sentence carry that final ....

Is it anywhere that you I can write,
is this really true ?
How often do the words come to light,
for me and  for you ?

I sit in a noise filled waiting room,
routine tests are done.
They will call me in the back room soon,
but now is the fun.

Can I  fast make the most of my time ?
I am under the gun.
Can I squeeze out yet another line
before an end to fun ?...

TIRED     KINDERGARTEN     TEACHER 


I love their cute,  fresh, open minds
But teaching  comes in different kinds
One day  I succeed in  planned  teacher-telling
The way to do things properly 
Next day  I  fail like a drunk in charge of a watermelon
Kids are like balls of mercury
Their containment is in serious  doubt
Exhaust me like a lemon at maximum squeeze-out....

Listen to the pale hushed words without sounds;
Listen to the murmurs of frustration that assault our spirits.

See how they spin crazily in their dire solitude
See how they hang onto the edge of their sanity.
 
I look on as the sun set stillness upon the sky
I see black clouds squeeze out rain.
I touch the earth. It has received its bounty.
And Life begins its quiet chatter once again.

Some days you can barely squeeze out a line
   On others inspiration flows from recesses Divine

Yet there's always that first glimpse of a completely blank page
   To frighten the Muse from a poet, regardless of age

Only when the parchment fills up with ink, dare he think  
   I'm proud that from the fray I never did shrink

So next time you prepare to battle paper with pen
   Remember this poem ~ to triumph again...

His hearts in pain..
He begs you to once hold it and squeeze out your 
given blood.. and there...
what you find.. 
is just love..
His eyes hurt..
Not with the dust.. 
But with tears..
Being sorry 
For his thoughts full of lust..
His body shivers..
He feels cold..
Not because of drugs..
But with the lack of you..
Giving him hugs..
His soul wants to be taken away..
Not by you..
But by the angels of his coming death...

In search of song we squeeze out stanzas
The booming beat of rhymed bonanzas
The search for the perfect line
The crafting of a work so fine

For deep within us the need arises
To pour out word and rhythmic surprises
To bring forth from the deepest muse
Word to delight and rhythms to enthuse

From high above the light shines down
And wipes the brow from worried frown
And seeps the soul in creative essence
As in light we reflect His presence...

My stomach turns slowly,
It’s contents moving about,
becoming saturated
In the acid that climbs into
My throat, burning like liquor.
Sweat beads squeeze out
Of my pores as I am suddenly 
Uncomfortably warm,
The waves of wetness slick
My skin despite attempts
to continually wipe it dry. 
My mouth fills with saliva
As the nausea intensifies,
And I try to comfort myself 
By rocking back and forth
And whispering calming words 
Into the dark, empty room....

Time for time to tell,
Speak of death profound;
Glimpse of mystic grounds,
Squeeze out life to dwell.


Space for space to host,
Taste how death makes known;
A full circle shown,
Now give up the ghost.


Feel for feel that heals,
Death frames old attire;
Watch old life retire,
Heal old will that spills.


Rhyme for rhyme be still,
Transcend this harsh toil;
Pleasure blooms grand soil,
Death brings fond goodwill.

We secured the dogs in a chain link fenced pen
I was gobsmacked to see the puppy ten minutes later
How had he gotten out?
Like a convict he had tunneled out

In ten minutes making a hole under the gate
Big enough to squeeze out his eighty-two-pound body
A space ship could have fit into this hole!
What is he doing now?

I turned to see; he was tearing up the driveway.
This is a black asphalt driveway!
We called a company to fix it;
They were gobsmacked that a puppy had done this!...
