She stumbles from the needle,
on life's ugly, jagged edge;
yet with gracefulness and beauty,
she leaps out from the ledge.

A horse was the smallest of all
But he also long to be tall
So, he stretched everyday
Stood on bails of stacked hay
Until he stumbles and fall

on tip-toe, into
the darkness, a-ha! the cash!
he stumbles, door creaks...
waves of guilt, waves of terror
engulf him, nerves shot, gills green

Speaking words once spoke before,
has a room with many doors,
delivers to the empty floor,
the same with all about.
She stumbles on the stone...

A child stumbles
sundrunk
to the top of a rock.
"I am King of the Hill!"
he says.
I wonder how many others
stood on that rock
to claim it as their own.

A Neapolitan Mastiff in Reno
Sometimes overindulges in vino
He’ll stagger and ramble
But will never gamble
Unless he stumbles into a game of keno

The pulse races,
the mind falters,
the tongue stumbles,
the speech a-jumble.
My wretched stammer
leaves aspirations in tatters.
My heart broken
by the words unspoken.

When Mr. Joseph Biden talks, he fumbles and stumbles
Voters who follow him are starting to grumble
Biden seems hopeless, a real no-go
Time to label him: 'Sloppy Joe'

A blind poet stumbles into a bar
Counts the number of drunk patrons there are
Adds up all the burps
Plus all the loud slurps
Drives them home in his brand-new sports car

Blond daisies strip petals softly
in nearest trembling grains snow.
Sunshines stumbles scarcely
above ever rich had daisies' seeding grow.

I do not know?
A raven, so craven;
a bit like a raisen.
Once sweet, now sour
with no source of power.
He stumbles and grumbles;
puking his guts.
Oh man what a drunk...
I better get home.

My mouth stumbles before your smile
Relaxed, yet powerful, like a bow half-drawn
The smile is yours
but I want to give it to you
So I can look up
And see you bend it toward heaven

I doubt it made a sound
Soft feathered
On damp ground.
Idle reflection
Stumbles through the mist
Of misunderstanding
Perhaps its time was up
Its days counted
Fulfilled
Mourning
Will be done
In silence

Backlit
The light behind
Is not behind
Except in the
Conventional way..
If not behind
Separation stumbles
Paradox suggests
Not-knowing
Appearing as
Backlit..
Rivers are rivers
Again...

Spring begins the chase
And quickly sets the pace.
Then Summer takes her place,
But stumbles and then tumbles into Fall
Who gamely picks up the baton
To carry on,
But loses face
When Winter sweeps right in
And wins the race.

an angel falling
begging to be noticed
screaming for help
unseen by eyes
she hits the ground
stumbles about
why don't they see
grabbing clothes
shaking people's arms
why isn't she noticed
she stands before them
and they don't even see

Old man dancing
Doing the soft shoe
As in days of yore!
Dancing with a shadow partner...
Reminiscence of glad times.
See him smile -
So what if he stumbles!
Soft shoe
Whirling to forgotten memories...
Court jester for the crowd!

Orange tan conceals
the whiteness of the ghost
subtle cackles sound
You’ve got to be a spirit
cries mystical rastaman
He stumbles along
still offering redemption
to those fading ghosts
The song silhouettes the sky
Spirit can defeat the ghost

Hard as the concrete on a frigid day
Life is the equivalent to a mighty blow delivered
Many stumbles and apparent falls
The heart of the resilient will prevail
For pain is nothing more than a dividing force
The match with controversy is everlasting

The blind man
walks slowly to the voting polls,
reaches for a lever
and pulls it.
There! Now I’ve voted.
I’m a good citizen.
Leaving, he stumbles
and falls into my arms.
Did you vote today?
No, I’m not blind.

EVEN when you're alone
THOUGH still you're able to find affection
I'M unable to make any romantic connection
IN the flooded pools of overwhelming adoration
LOVE stumbles along blind
WITH timid approach of finding
YOU with a heart longing for just the same
