Short Thwack Poems

On Christmas Eve, Oh Carol!
Put on risqué apparel -
Santa and elves in eyeball thwack, 
A little drummer boy in shock!

Can’t see her face anymore when I think of 
her. Not even her eyes. 

Everything beyond myher reach, this
each day mundane way of life.

Still, you always told me 
each day—each lie.
Back when, well…

And then maybe she’ll live. Perhaps she’ll

Live to be transparent.

Awoke to see a snowy sight
Glistening pristine overnight
Joyful shouts, a child’s delight

An open doorway front and back
Welly footprints forming a track
Frosty breaths, a snowball’s thwack

Excited children with a plan
“Mum, may we build a huge snowman”
Inventive minds used trash can

It’s base, sturdy as a tree stump
Well covered with each snowy dump
Snow head a misshapen lump

Taking my refuge with some more fee

A spine shattering “thwack” with a whip
Causes me to lose my grip

For my soul has a new master
Puck is here to begin his laughter?...

Adorned in silk this dusty room

	Like his body met the floor, thwack!
	The house empty, less her they track
Hardened heart, hollowed like a tomb
Was it lover's spat or planned doom?

Duo-rhyme? Not quite got the iambic tetrameter down, but I tried....
