Chupacabra came in the night
It gave everyone great fright
	Jack shouted a loud "Boo!”
	Chupacabra withdrew
and hid in shadow out of sight....

Her old head 
Upon a pillow lie
I held her hand
She withdrew her
Hand
Looked 
Into a distant 
Past
And said 
I wish you were
Your brother...

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was lurking at the door
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He  quietly  withdrew....

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was 
lurking at the door.. 
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He quitely withdrew....

There was that moment,
that glimpse of sadness come,
when silently she withdrew.
To savor in private thought;
a memory which only she knew.
Her secret rendezvous...

She sat with a finger in her nose
It did smell quite a lot like my prose
She got a few
Before she withdrew
Boogers came out striking a pose

drop a penny in the slot, drop it in the hole
”penny saved, penny earned” also “good for soul”
my first piggy bank
was tough like a tank
until a hammer withdrew the whole...

Bigger and bigger the balloon he blew 
As he sat in comfort on the bamboo
          He laughed he singed 
          The guitar I stringed 
Then from the deep forest he withdrew...

Noodles Noodleman knew
The cookbook through and through
Noodles Noodleman knew
He must teach Sally too

Alas, Sally withdrew
Cooking she could not do
She then began to brood –
What could poor Noodles do…?...

The victims lined up
all of my internal organs
the shard of her 
plunged into each
leaving scores 
slowly dying
when cold entered 
my heart I 
grasped the blade
and withdrew 
along with it
and when her gaze
tickled the wound
she didn't find me there...

Rapier
slender,
steely, swiftly
plunged deeply
where no one had touched, to its hilt you thrust, 
embedded...
and then,
silently,
without a whisper,
finishing the deed,
withdrew the dripping blade
And left me to hemorrhage
our tourniquet friends to mend...

Where she walked no flowers bloomed
her only company the waning moon
The buds withdrew and shook with fright
even trees dropped their leaves when she came into sight

And as this woman, on nature's privacy encroaches 
the wildlife whispers “Lady Winter approaches”...

His glass-stained eyes saw things he knew
That framed a past when years withdrew
From indiscretions of a town---
Mirrored in youth’s flashes, rundown
By secrets kept in a house where he loved and grew.

                                        I loved you more than life,
                                       but life had gotten too hard
                                      Withdrew back into my shell,
                                         now miss your soft smile...

His mother would stroke his hair,
with gentle fingers.
It made him purr.

Fingers withdrew.
Time combed thinning years.

A one-night woman
took his head in her lap.
It was good to feel again
that love that fingers have
for hair.

In time, he settled down
with a lady,
who bred Afghans....

A wintry chill held me to your bosom
The night drew praises from my lips
My hungry prayers did feed a fiery blossom
And the blast withdrew its icy fingertips.

As fancies came unhinged from fear
And diminished dark in its magnitude
My heart bulged with its own good cheer
And spilled its cries of gratitude...

she spoke of two in metaphor
consequence and heretofore
laced her pouring bawdy brew
with a sweetened blinding cue

mesmerized
she hypnotized 
dancing emerald eyes
trapped me with her wily guise  

we drank a tepid tea for two
concocted by a crafty shrew
sweaty salty we both withdrew
bidding a sweet adieu...

Pro-Palestinians shout
     What about?
   "How can you support
     Gaza's occupier?"

   Those who shout
     are rather dumb louts
   Gaza's occupier since 2007
     is (surprise!) ~ Hamas!

   Israel withdrew in 2005
     eighteen years ago
   Ever since then Gaza has been
     100 percent Palestinian...

You loved me
l loved you
You left me
I withdrew
~~~

I struggled
You were free
My life changed
Sad and empty
~~~

Time passed
I healed
Never the same 
My wounded heart sealed
~~~

You gave me life
I watched yours end
Forever in spirit now
My beautiful mum, my teacher, my friend!

He came to town
His stallion black
His robes of white
Sinners and saints
Alike withdrew
Quick out of sight
One not be feared
Need of a shave and of a meal
The check in desk
The clerk just stared
Those eyes of steel..
No one He bothered
And when He left
They breathed relief
But did they know
The dust He shook
Beneath His feet?...

She cried for him; and he for her…
There were no answers or magical cures…
She felt alone, because she was…
While he went off and did whatever he does…
She had willingly opened up her door… 
He had given a little, but she always wanted more…
So she withdrew her part in their charade…
He withdrew too, but part of him stayed…...

I should be watching Rafa
In my Rafa hat and shirt,
But Wimbledon is at a loss
Because Nadal is hurt.

He won the quarterfinals
With an injury to cause
Some pain when he was serving
And it seems that gave him pause.

So he withdrew and all his fans,
Of course including me,
Are disappointed, knowing
In the finals he won’t be....

A joint account of love

You asked, we to open, my darling 

An idea, I certainly applauded 

With all my soul’s might  


But


To my dismay soon realized  

That the only one depositing was I 

While you, always amounts withdrew

Till all was gone, then you took a hike!
