Looking so stunted
Adding a fertilizer
Greenish it grows tall
Cows lean without it
Having been grazed on grasses
They look beautiful

A boy with caged dreams
So eager to fly his coop
But has stunted wings

In all your ways,
Indeed your endeavours,
grow big and tall.
Not so you look down
on the short and stunted;
and not so you crush
the small and fragile
But grow tall and big –
so big, everyone can touch you.

My next-door man was a postman
He stunted gimmicks like Tarzan
I met a constable
And told him my trouble
He said, “I can’t treat your ailment”.

The Tsunami came as a dream
And gone like a nightmare
Never to be forgotten by some
But lives have to go on
It is snow that may not fall upon
And will soon be lost in memories
Of the next generation

The flick-flack of the shredded Flag, the bugle marking time
The Soldier laid to rest, midst those that went before
The crosses like snow-white trees, stunted before their Prime
In order, line upon line, do we never learn from War?

Rhyme
As a child I used to think
Of all the things I wanted
When I grew I liked to drink
And it left my mind stunted
So now I can't remember
'Cause my memory isn't clear
My birthday's in December
But I don't know in what year

I live in shadow,
a sweet sunflower
sown on the dark side
of your selfish need
to dominate each
spot of joy.
Stunted
and shriveled
my bloom is thwarted,
your need for nectar
to keep your black soul
satisfied
leaves me nearly dead.

the wind of old nails
broken stones
the sky a gulit of rain
all these stunted trees
grasp over wet moss
seagulls are unborn children
that cry over the tundra
this is the end of a measured world
this is the e nd ofa mea sured wor ld

Blank verse
I wonder what would happen if
You took a feline kit
And put it in a dark glass box
And waited till it fit
Before you gently removed it
And let it come outside
I bet it would be quite stunted
But it would be your pride

Fetters,
in letters,
locked,
in speech,
shut,
in mouth,
stunted,
in ideas,
he simply,
was bound,
no one,
was there,
to bring him around,
he simply miffed,
breathed in,
and asyphixated,
he kept quiet for life,
and died leading,
a life mostly free of rife.

stunted
emotions
in
a troubled maverick
liberated
by landscapes
impassioned
in pink green & blue
fixation freedom
in a mountain
view
the provincial peasant
prevailed
by
'art of the askew'
still life
in arrested moments

Of burning sight, we grow the flora,
From dancing light of my aurora.
A stunted garden, met with showers,
Brought to bloom, bouquet of flowers.
In casting passion, bright the sky,
Of green and blue we share an eye.
The way of stars and trees alike,
Through boreal we join and hike.

runted rose
stunted pose
pedals arose
medals proposed
gold teeth rattle ing
catches
in
the dirt
bury me
in a bucket
lunacy ends
nevermind
lets lets lets
do it again
think he cant fly
look look look
cloud high
no
there on the bush
its

hunted crows
runted rose

His growth stunted
Not a mean bone
In his body
Nor a spine
To stand and
Be good to himself
Beaten since a kid
Into subdued
Submission
Echoes of
His heart
Beating
Within a
Vacuum
In the depths of
Sunken shame

Movement up and down the ring
Story lines made for entertainment
Competing for golden belts to display with pride
Stunted choreography happens inside and outside the ring
Wrestler and divas favored by many fans
Fans cheering and booing for who they like or hate
Face or heel is what wrestlers are all about

suddenly bare branches
sway and shiver
shiver and sway, outstretched
in vain
to December's flares
stunted grass shoots
deign not wave
to howling winds
their lawns daily prowl
icy slants of rain
piercing bare heads
autumn’s roses gone missing
color them dead

A new tomato burst
beneath a blade, its juice
streaking my wrist,
mimicry of something I swore off
years ago.
Seeds scatter like liquid mercury
across the cutting board,
smallest of reminders that life spreads
even if it’s cut short, stunted.
I keep slicing,
pretending the stains
will wash off this time.

The dirty skeleton of March
Wears a coat of shredded hope of winter's passing
And drags its feet through wind, rain and blackened snow
In ditches and across fields of stunted grain,
Swirling forgotten leaves of November
Still lying in dead and forgotten flower beds
Blowing away traces and thoughts of a gentle April for now,
But not forever..

Narrative
Time and distance blinks
in a fit of frustration
static turbulence
retards reception of
your explanation
your sun rises as mine rests
against stunted horizons
purple, yellow bruising of
unexpected allegations
take your fair measure of worth
of what belongs to me
I care not for possessions
that bind me to cavernous delusions
of what I once believed

Glowing by the moonlight pallor
Are the circles of coyote eyes
Hovering above ground - pair by pair -
Wandering like restless sprights
Seeking for one who's lost their way.
Their banter touches my heartbeat;
My stunted breath rolls out - and I -
I'm glad for their roving company
Near my small chasm where I hide -
But not lost - just gone astray.

The head and face broad and flat,
The eyes set wide apart,
The body-growth stunted,
The tongue protruded,
With squeaky voice,
The child is not wise.
The skin thick, dry and coarse,
The hair rough, sparse and coarse.
The thickened neck small and short,
With supraclavicular pads of fat.
The bulging tummy resembles a pot,
And umbilical hernia resembles a spout.

I do not know?
Oval lynxed eyes having downward, inward slant,
Present on the sacrum a blue naevus spot.
The flat face and stunted fingers,
With little fingers curved inwards.
Large head with occiput flat,
Present on the iris a ’Brushfield’ spot.
He has fine silky hair
And complexion fair
Right from the birth has a diseased heart,
His tongue is protruded, and he is not smart.

Father’s first love.
Whipped spirit nurtures new life.
Unreciprocated adoration.
100 kisses of a tickling ‘stashe.
Mother: face down, step forward.
Feel pain, never expose.
Teenage sweetheart.
Stunted growth.
Teenage father.
Juvenile protector.
Baby crying.
Manipulation?
Nothing in focus. Thick smoke.
Another blow-up.
Develops a reflex.
A broken heart still Beats. Beats. Beats.

Stunted
Head bowed
He shuffles along
Scared he might stumble
Hesitant
Hands twitchy
He drags himself
Terrified of all around
Powerless
Eyes nervous
He glances erratically
Intimidated by people passing
Haunted
By memories
He turns around
Glancing back at time
Staring at an incident, an act of man
That crippled his emotions as only a human can.
