while searching for keys

Heartshaped chrysalis
Hanging by a thread of faith
From the tree of dreams,
Swung by the winds of falter
It clings on, wishing to live...

Believed she had nothing to fear
But without his heart
It all fell apart
'til she swung from the chandelier...

smugly swung with only one hand
	forgot and let go
	of the rope in tow
sank in a thick pool of quicksand....

Rise and shine,
There is a hammer to be swung,
It is time to build the world I planned,
From the dreams I dreamt....

I broke the rocks for a "Spark"
A present it was
Not for I, but for her hair
Lost now, but found tomorrow

A solid black band
Adorned her thumb.
Golden leaves sown in.

As she walked
It swung,
From here to there.

As did my heart,
But
Not as fair....

Crank it up play me a song
Yesterday has been gone for so long
Bring back the memories when life was young
Time has changed because the pendulum swung...

who swung the worlds sharpest axe
one or two chops thats all
giant fir trees would fall

Who drank every day to celebrate.
One tipsy day at the chopping block
He swung  his cleaver ad hoc.
Now he knows just how to amputate....

This was a sight to behold you see
She swung from a branch
By elastic in her pants
Showing more than she should you'll agree

I thought it appeared to be dead,
So I turned out the light,
But it chattered all night
And swung off the curtains instead.

So held on and swung from his tie.
But the blooming tie ripped,
And my victim just flipped:
I’m banned from his shop; don’t know why…

The mighty slugger saunted to the plate
The sun dipped in the sky, 'twas getting late
  First he swung and he missed
  But the next pitch he 'kissed' 
Out of the park ~ onto the Interstate...

He looked so darned small at the plate
For the pitch he just couldn't wait
Got a high fast ball
He swung for the wall
You'r out! But to mom he did great!

The white-handed Gibbon swung high
     but he still was too young to fly
through the air between trees
    'til along came a breeze
which carried him through clear blue sky....

I sat with my best girl with such glee,
I bared my chest for her to see,
My hairy torso caused some alarm,
Her heart started fluttering under the palm,
Then we both swung away through the trees....

Marma laid there, endured Pop’s tickle
Marm got even, swung the sickle
These days, Pop’s a bit less fickle
Stares at Marma’s jar of pickles

when his kilt swung high the ladies would glance,
but snow on St. Patty's Day
made him fall in such a way...
his bruised leprechaun gets no more romance!...

The odor of spoiled milk
waged a scented battle
with a too full diaper.
His pablum drool
swung on a saliva string.

"Ain't he cute!!"  I asked
"He's my baby brudder."

Without a shout or warning
He swung down from a tree
Bowling over jimmy and terrifying me

Butch is the biggest bully
He says it’s only play
His Mom can’t bear to spank him
Since his dad has gone away...

Limerick : Once a Viscountess in a mess

Once a Viscountess in a mess
Tried in vain to extricate dress
With Dwarf in the middle
And Duke in the fiddle
So she swung from swing to undress.
