I smacked it
It scrunched up, I saw its legs fold
But then it flew off
Surprising both of us

Your poem is so humorous a reader says.
Surprising me indubitably.
I did not expect that in my head.
When I penned it for others to see.

It goes up and down exercising

But the contents spill
All over an organ downsizing!

Surprise!

The little surprising blessings
We’re given in life
Are meant to enhance,
Not cause strife.

How do I handle this?
I just don’t know.
God says, “I will take care of you.”
And away we go.

Tortured constantly by axes and saws
Rising higher than anything else living
Elusive are your leaves from the ground
Ever so old,the oldest of the races
Surprising width, for cars can pass through

Ambition

Wrapped around the pillar of humanity

As it slithers up it coils tighter and tighter

It's length spreads a warmth that is all too inviting

A paralyzing euphoria


Left unsuspecting
the snap is surprising
