umbrellas mob the hearse-

in twos....

As a species
we have a lot
of growing up to do;

assuming we survive
these terrible twos.

always wanting his mommy
screaming when he wakes
and she's away in the kitchen
quiet the moment she holds him...

In columns of twos,
The ants march out
Like wooden soldiers,
Across the sky
To taste the swirls
Of pink 
Cotton candy clouds...

Handed a deck of
Twos and
Threes,

Yet expected to have
Kings and
Queens.

You have anything less
Than a jack?

Prepare to be a reject....

There once was a lady named Jan 
Explored number twos with a plan
She saw the potential 
Of the quintessential 
Polished poop delivered deadpan

There once was a foxy young poet,
With a lawn and no one to mow it.
So she rustled some ewes,
And then ate them in twos -
And as for the grass, she’ll re-grow it....

old kindredships between twos     took a violent turn

just one half armed     to pierce firing burn

falling down lifeless
the first one half grined with charm
but it's all his mind...

Noah marched all creatures in the ark two-by-twos,

Including bugs, elephants and a pair of fiesty gnus!

The stars to charm the dark are winking 
And sleeping birds in twos cuddling
Softly fresh dew kiss shrivel grasses
Interlock in a tango are the palm trees 
As gentle wind whisper them love ode
But, with a dead night I lay down cold!...

barnum would have been proud
bulldogs in too twos
embraces for show
disks and dark booths
raw raws
scaffolding on saxophones
Scotland-yards of curtains
damp mermen
virginia     sweet william 
and dollar bills in
the greatest broken worth...

A senryu for A Shero, heroes, and for POETRY's sake ---

I
sudden gusts of Fall -
green heroes fall in twos, threes
yes, trees, and you, me

II
Notice the saplings sway
With the winds ways, unbroken
Resist and old limbs fall...

Seeing Shoes with Views

When we would start seeing our shoes,
Around each one there are many views;
And shoe fly;
Go bye bye;
They come in a pair always being twos.

Nothing that you have ever read before

Seaming in a sewing room, earning his copper coins in twos. With patterns, tools, & spools, fast pace so hard to do. Rusty fans that are always frozen, feed dog staying broken with a boss who's constantly smoking fine Cuban cigars. Just another day at Sweat Shop Bazaar....

Big and bold, bombarded with color,
there is an explosion like no other,
bright and frisky,
dull and deluded,
grey and murky not included.

Reds and pinks,
purples and blues,
go great in blocks of twos or threes,
I must fall to my knees,
to try escape the smoke and breeze....

nobra day
a national
social entity
of honest city-zen

socially acceptable
and of umpire image
perhaps ye or thee
as player of the game

titled honest decisions
of fashionable suite
designed to brace self
and mark twos-day this week

Rip-rap for the sides of highways
Surge is for the smaller byways
Twos and threes, a nice good base
Twenty-fours, a French drain, place
Fifty-sevens to dress a road,
Sixty-sevens, for better flow.
Crusher run is best on top
And that is where my knowledge stops…

Atlanta, Georgia
Is filled with some smart people
The parks offer peace
'Til someone is killed by guns
Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog

Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos....

Susannah sits savoring the silence
snuggled sleepily on the settee
enjoying espresso and eating éclairs -
she needed some space and solitude,
twins, the ‘terrible twos’ are so taxing!
Her husband’s taken Hannah and Holly
to a party at Pirate Pete’s play park.
