Short Swerved Poems

For days I swerved
Vision is blurred
Speech is slurred
Until all merged...

when off path have swerved
punished for crime when he curved
justice has been served...

I wrote a song
It had you name
I went up and down and swerved around
The tune came in and I sang out loud
Your name
Your smile in tune with my beating drum
I dint know but this was what they called love...

She chants saccharine words

Calamity dissolves into ruins

The sweetest words I’d ever heard

She chants saccharine words

All focus swerved

A conquest worth pursuing

She chants saccharine words

Calamity dissolves into ruins...

Crashed my car as I swerved to miss a chicken crossing the road.
She stopped and stared as I got out to inspect the damage.
“Why were you crossing the road?” I yelled.
She turned away and walked off into the Winter night.
Stupid riddle....

'Twas claimed Titanic was unsinkable.
 
   To think otherwise was unthinkable!

      Alas, she met her fate,

         Because she swerved too late!

            Tangling with ice cubes proved it sinkable!

When the greens turned brown
And the blues swerved white 
Desolate branches swayed
On a cold wintry night
Silence echoed- till mornings sky...
Warmth the trees- 'fore they die

There’s something richly picturesque
About the contortion of a man who has just
Swerved into the left lane in order to throw ugly gestures
At you through your open window--
All for shifting to the right
So you wouldn’t miss your exit.

I smile back in relief that
He didn’t need to be in the right lane
After all...

I wished to know how my new slinky would do out the car’s back window
So while Dad drove highways and thought me backseat asleep with pillows,
I rolled the glass down, then holding one end tight, sent my toy to flight.
Five cars honked, three swerved and lots aimed gestures placing blame for this plight.

As her car crossed paths with the oncoming driver, 
out her window she shouted "PIG!"
The oncoming driver screamed back "WITCH!" to the woman 
is what the oncoming driver did.
When he came around the curve 
he immediately swerved 
into a huge pig and was killed in an instant.
The moral of the story simply is this:
Men, if only they'd listen....

Living on the edge,
on a thin razor like edge,
I walked on one side,
of a deep yawning wedge,
wind blew hard in a roar,
sweeping my hairs,
my legs swerved,
as if inviting a fall,
I steadied,
only to be windswept again,
precipitatinggly and gingerly,
I walked along,
life is a similar wedge,
with you on one edge,
it is not known for sure,
when a wind might blow,
and take you deep in wedge,
quite dead....

True to your name golden
You’re an angel from heaven
As a host you simply shine
Magnanimous are you fine
Celestial virtues so sublime
Enthrall me to cloud nine
Ever indebted to thee such
No words to express much
‘Srikhand’ when you served
My palate got just swerved 
What a lavish dish was it..!
So sumptuous and so sweet..!!
Willing to be guest thine
Again if Lord does divine
Today being thy birth day cool
I wish thee all success full..!!...

Fears, tears, and loss so great.
Yet it didn’t have to be done.
A car swerved, then lost control.
Now other lives are gone.

Those around so severely hurt.
Live changes can’t be undone.
Memories, horror, perhaps more loss.
Life becomes so cruel for all.

All because one chose to drink, then drive.
A choice that didn’t have to become.
Now he will live… several not…
Forgiveness may never come…

As fears, tears, and more loss will travel with the one....
