stand soldierly against winds
teeter in the breeze...

but now i refrain
from the flame 
of destruction
but love --
the teeter-totter
of fatalistic love!

sunfilled peacefulness
ever teeter tottering
bouts of cloudiness

Poetry's an arduous art.
It requires skill and meter
and a poet with very rare heart,
or he will tire and teeter.

It sure got hotter
Around the teeter totter
When Peggy Potter
The teacher’s daughter
Flipped a finger
At Suzie Saucer
And her mother saw her...

‘Cause I’m no longer a big huge baby
With moods a lot like teeter-totters.
Now, I’m who I always wanted to be....

Let's see if I can be prim and proper
Been a while on this teeter totter
Can't help myself
In my soul, naughty dwells
Very strong, I suck it up like a blotter...

Listen to poem:

Tis all 
shilly-shally, dilly dally
wiffle waffle, willy wobble 
quiver and dither 
teeter and twitch,
which whatever, wherefore wobble
hem and haw, ho and hum
Tis all a dithery tizz...

Been a while on this teeter totter
Can't help myself
Inside, naughty dwells
Very strong, suck it up like a blotter

A father's love is shown no meter
fail it will not, no not a teeter 

A ray of sun the way it stands
a glass worn aged by hands

Field of grass like years gone by
remaining alone I'm apple of eye...

Judith S... my latest heartthrob in the group
She crosses my eyes, my heart does loops
Tickles my teeter totter
Call me a naughty plotter
But one day gonna flip flop in her delicious Soup...

The female voice without seeing the creature
Is really appealing, like a goddess with sweet features
But we're sometimes surprised
She ends up with crossed eyes
And a lump on her bumper or a tot on her teeter...

Is really appealing, like a goddess with sweet features

Turns out she's crossed eyes
With a lump on her bumper or a tot on her teeter...

A very novice poet am I, 
a fledgling, just learning how to fly.
My thoughts may climb as I flap my wings
but my anchored feet to this earth still clings.
I hope in time these wings won't teeter
and I can soar  in a different meter....

Poetry's a difficult art;
it requires skill and meter
and a poet that's awful smart,
or one will tire and teeter.

Poetry's a difficult art;
one has to be a trained poet
who writes with love and a good heart
to create grace and not blow it....

Portapiqué and all 
Nova Scotia, you will hurt
For a long, long time
In deep sorrow of
What has happened in your lives…
Never knowing why.

Your burden is huge.
Yet, when you teeter… 
We will bear you up.

The toes
have no idea what’s going on
too small
to be given much information
(need to know basis)
and yet
without them 
castles teeter
on the brink
collapse

they do not tell
what is to be done
but warn
of what shouldn’t

Andie thrummed a guitar
                                       And lost her perimeter
                                             Kissed a bull
                                              Not so cool
                                   She had to smirk and teeter...

Words slip from your cracked lips unbound,
spilling over my chest without a sound.
My limps then writhe with a flair,
teeter-tottering, feet bare.
Do carouse me on this merry-go-round....

Listen to poem:

out of control chaos
behind the scenes
passion caution
duking it out
fists flying
teeter tottering
winning losing
caution passion

The Word Teeter Totter
He used the word teeter totter.
It surprised me, because I never hear it any more.
I said, “Where did you learn that word?”
He did not know which one I meant.
I said, “How do you know about a teeter totter?”
He said, “I was born on a teeter totter.”
An interesting visual for sure....
