Watch my thick skin heal....

All, Or Nothing At All
I don’t limit who reads my verse,
only who I answer
Each word thick-skinned and armor-clad
all questions zero-sum

Thick Skinned
One quality about myself that I know for sure
is that I'm much more thick skinned than others give me credit for,
otherwise so many I encounter would be left unconscious laying flat on the floor....

Stay Salty
Violently mimic the wind,
stay salty yet flow like water;
With an attitude stay thick skinned,
violently mimic the wind;
Keep poetry neat and well penned,
then punctuate it to slaughter;
Violently mimic the wind,
stay salty yet flow like water....

A Parents Grook
Small babies are unpredictable just like the weather
Often wet; with sudden outbreaks of terrible wind
But would I have altered anything, no never …
Being a parent, you become very thick skinned!

Avocado
I am mother goddess warrior
protector of the sacred Nisqually water
and the people of this land
I am native crow
I am also avocado
nice to eat and soft
soft to my seed and thick skinned
or is it thin? I don't know
all the time I
shed my skin
feel sweet and feed something
and then regrow
I am an avocado crow...

Six Simpering Thick-Skinned Shifty Spinster Sisters
Six simpering thick-skinned shifty spinster sisters stiffly sit
Stitching sticky skid-marked scivvies of sixty sick stingy sailors.
Six sick from stitching scivvies of sixty sick scrimping sailors
Stickle over nickels; those insistent six thick-skinned spinster tailors!

Burlap and Satin
I was Burlap, you were Satin
your smooth against my rough,
you diamond, 'gainst my red hot coal
was never quite enough.
You tulip in the April sun
fair lady of the field
me cactus, thick skinned, dominant
how easily you yield.
You fought till you had little left,
you tore so easily,
Burlap, Satin, no warp or weft
were ever meant to be.
