Short Tinny Poems

My eyes were peeled back with fright
From below the awfully terrible sight
Now a bite from a nit
Hurt a tinny bit 
How many tinny bits will it hurt from croc a bite?...

Slide-out Coke machines
Superman/Batman comics
10 cent hot dogs
AM radio
Black & white TV
Rabbit-ear antennae
Bubblegum baseball cards
Tinny speakers at drive-in
Drive-in diners
Vacation bible school
Barefoot summers
Homemade playgrounds
A quarter made you rich......

------

It is raining leaf's
They are pouring down
If you half listen
       Then,
They barely make
A sound...
      ------
The birds' they do
      Sing,
They doth' fly down South
The tinny tinkling
Taste of morning dew
Is so prevalent
I can taste it in
    My mouth

            GF...

What is it?
I see it, hanging there
On the wall not even fall
Black in colour, small sized, round shaped
 

For a while through days
I thought it isn’t me thinking
That her style isn’t hers

I chose between curvy streets
Huge and noisy
A thing she may love 
Thinly and tinny 
Amazing hat....

Tin Man

Stoop shouldered,
head down,
shuffling.
Just “kicking the can”
down the road.
Casting no shadow,
lost in a lie’s
intransigence,
following
the tinny sound
of an empty can.

lead myself 
to believe 
in this mentally 
contrived version 
of a relationship 
with you where we
were happy 
than one day you shattered 
that version into a 
million tinny little pieces 
when you left me 
now looking back in hind-sight 
the day you ran away was the 
best thing that ever happened to me...

FLAWS
Tinny insects on skin lines
Red dragons on soul signs.

Nature's insticts to human reply
This earthen step will never fly.

                 FLAWLESS
Flawless is the dream that rests
Beneath the purity of an endless quest.

As faith lies on hands of gold
Divine and earthly world their coupling unfold....

A halo was formed within the mind's eye
A halo was placed a top your head
A halo was taken off from a top your head
once was smitten by your charms 
once was smitten by your very being
once was smitten by your very presence 
till one day the halo that i had so 
unwittingly placed upon your head 
fell apart shattered into tinny little pieces 
and fell to the ground knocking you from 
a top your pedestal that i had unknowingly placed 
you upon...

My tinny girl
Let me taking you to your mother's side
She's worrying about  you
Since the last Flowery Festival
Let us bring her happiness and joy

Stop searching broken dreams
In those dirty alleys of New York's alleys
Your mother is waiting
In the Brickfield of Texas

Come to your daddy
He's dying and cancer is eating both of them
Come home at once without any regret 
We are going to take you back
We're going to forgive you

Let's give
That child
A hearty home....

What's with such

Big Boot's 

With such

Tiny Feet

Is it maybe perhaps because

Right deep down to your inner soul  

You feel incomplete

And the reason why

You love to stick the boot in

Whenever and at every chance
you possibly can 

Because it makes you somehow
feel far less tinny and big instead

So very sad the thing's that people
have to do

Rather than just making Doo with
and making the best with what they
we're given in the 1st place...

Dactylic Pentameter

Green is your color with Leprechauns, Shamrocks and gold filled pots.
Favorite meal is corn beef and cooked cabbage on plate as food.
Charming and fanciful tales or elf stories for tinny tots.
Jokes and such make hours fun - they put us into a happy mood.
Humor's a blessing in life, for that we have much gratitude.
Time is spring, cold wind can blow hard yet giving the days an edge.
Snow can still be on the ground, denizens may have to use a sledge....

Self-Consciousness


White noise surrounds us each day.  We do not even hear it over the din of living.  Life is noisy, a constant barrage of sounds from all different directions, in all different pitch.  A phone, music, loud heated discussions.  The very moment I get an answer wrong, one can hear a pin drop.


“A pin can be heard”---
Dropping tinny to the floor
Why is it so quiet?
          

                                                               Sunshine Williams...

Summoned obscurely by the orange, tinny glare
the sun-struck promised afternoon an amulet to wear
With wild indignation we unrolled our weary lids
as we stretched and writhed our way beyond the fringes of our beds.
We passed by coffee temptings and we headed straight to lunch
With crinkled hair, no savoire fare, we kept our back bones staunch
There's always a pit in the stomach when you break out of bed at noon
The infernal plight of the night owl - the morning comes too soon......
