upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward...

Bob Hope was the most clever "dope"
To cope with the tinsel tightrope

Could laugh, "G'blimey"
Whilst eluding Donald Trump's grope!...

the steadiness of your hand;

Who all people thought was one brave fella
He took their dare
And with a flair
Tiptoed cross falls with opened umbrella...

Speak the truth
at your own risk
Wager fortune
for just one kiss
Walk the tightrope

No past or future

CIRCUS
Exiled from native homes
Slave creatures imprisoned,
Forced to do tricks,
Tightrope lions, clapping seals.
Elixir of grotesque clown disguises
Drab animal lives....

The Ostrich and the Gnome Grumble
An ostrich, named Ollie, so grand,
Tried to join a tightrope command.
He tripped on his toes,
And landed on gnomes,
Who yelled, "That's a sand-burying brand!"

The Fat Acrobat
Ann was an aging acrobat
That is until she became too fat
To sit on a flying trapeze
Cavort or leap with any ease
When the tightrope began to bend
Ann's acrobatics came to an end...

Anaconda's Aerial Ambition Abridged
An anaconda, Arthur, so wide,
Tried to join a tightrope, and sighed.
He wobbled and swayed,
Then simply just stayed,
"That's not balance," he hissed, "I've been lied!"

Walking the tightrope so narrow
Careful not to lean to either side
Public safety over here, freedom of speech over there

An elephant, named Bartholomew Hugh,
Tried tightrope, which was quite askew.
He wobbled and swayed,
Then gently down layed,
"Perhaps gardening," he sighed, "I'll pursue."

Tucked Into His Heart
Across uneven terrain
tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
dodging sniper fire
He carries her picture
tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
his thoughts ne'er depart...

Are You Afraid of Heights
Few of us, excluding window cleaners,
And tight rope walkers,
Are not afraid of heights,
Yet we are all walking the tightrope,
That is life,
With greed on one side,
And need on the other side....

Who's Kidding Who
We’ve lost the ability
to laugh at ourselves …
P.C. humor both lifeless

Our levity as tepid
as our character flawed
Fraying the tightrope
—awaiting a fall

a mountain to each end,
I dance over howling canyons...
To the side of earth on which you stand.
I will make it there.
Vernal beloved, I will make it there.
