An ant
Stumbling on a soft dish towel
Overlooking a vast area

what is so entirely contrarian
how often we laugh at the stumbling orange grammarian.

Worry And Troubles

Worry is stepping stone in life
To help you step forward
But troubles will also become
A stumbling block in life
Making you fall
And burn you
All over your body.

For Want Of

Three words can give such grace
Stumbling fools can understand
Love is seen in God's face
Love is universal throughout the land
Golden is the word as master planned

Just For a Second

Jus for a second
I suddenly got a wave of relief.
The dark is hiding.
Am I shown the way?
Stumbling on happiness
Show me the way to love
Show me who is like us....

God Help Me

My God 
Why have you forsaken me 
Life is too hard 
The world is too big 
The Devil, he is a crafty fellow 
I keep stumbling over self-will 
Please help me

Scarecrow Joe and the Bloody Brick Road

scarecrow Joe is sliding off his pole
not enough cognition to fulfill his role
lost his balls and his jacks
to the ruthless Taliban
stumbling to Oz down a bloody brick road

What's Truly Humbling

To know that in spite of all my stumbling
   My clumsy phrasing and other bumbling
So many of you have congratulated me on POTD
   And that's truly humbling in a most special way

Stumbling Over Deterrents

stumbling 
tripping 
over bumps 
in the road 
is common

avoid these

along this 
journey

Stumbling

She has never stumbled on her words did you say?
never got a word wrong and I right? 
She says shes never stumbled to this night 
She says she avoids those stumbly words everyday ?

Zelda Yadkin Xerox was very up today 
stumbling round quoting poetry often, 
ninja mouse lurking, 
knuckles jammed in Harry Gummies foot
 echoed dangerous 
content bravely abated.

Stoned

I went barefoot and stepped on a stone,
my gait went haywire and I was thrown,
while I was stumbling sideways,
police thought I'm in a haze...
"Honest officer, there's no homegrown!"

Progression

I FLOAT THESE WORDS
IN MY HEAD
FOR HOURS
A JUMBLE OF LETTERS
SCATTERED AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE
MOVING TOWARD MEANING
STUMBLING INTO SENTENCES
CRASHING TOGETHER
FOR THE SAKE OF BEAUTY.

All Saint's Day

polish the rind
suck the wind
stumbling
fog braced
dead rat sideways tired on sidewalk gray
sea beacons
slime green
no
shoes
just walking out there
rocks
in
pocket
gathering speed

Seeking the Infinite Soul

Into the brave new world
I (not so) boldly go
Staring into the sun
And jumping at shadows
Stumbling over my own feet
Down an unfamiliar road
Fumbling towards ecstasy
Seeking the infinite soul

Confidence

Unknown terrains
Preconceived notions
Perplexed mind
Wandered here and there 
Like a wild monkey

With confidence .....

Stumbling stones
Became stepping stones.
Mists blown away 
In sunrise.

Tenderhooks

I MUST HIDE
FROM THESE BEASTS
WHO CREEP
LIKE GHOULS
IN THE NIGHT
HUNTING ME
LIKE SCARED PREY
I'M CROUCHING
SHAKY
SHIVERING
LOOK IN THE SHADOWS
YOU'LL FINE ME THERE
STUMBLING 
IN THE DARKNESS.
