take one twist from the truth to
wring another's life...

I like to have tea first thing
A very sobering thing
Give the tea bag a flick
For a flavour boost trick
Though builders give it a wring...

Trump's government's a total wreck
The unemployed could wring his neck
They needed relief
But found only grief
With a Trump Reality Cheque...

I was using the toilet one day
Caught my bits in the zipper all the way
It was a painful wring
Like a tenor I did sing
Now I’m a girl, what can I say...

Be You
wring out hurts
toss away regrets
wave griefs goodbye
Be the ultimate you!
enhance your talents
live each day as if it is your last day
for it might be...

SING
I am writing my everything to sing
You are painting your wing to swing
Let's focus on string to wring
At the end of the day, we will ping

I    must estrange
myself from the world
I know    I must

Even from you
my love    I must
estrange myself

But how to wring
this twofold feat
from    me

I know    I must
estrange myself
from    me...

If I was a washing machine
I would make clanking noises
I would go on strike
I would refuse to spin the clothes
I would make you wring your shirts and pants out
I would laugh at the consternation I cause
If I was a washing machine...

we know better

Transfixed  
a moth to flame.
reports over and over
wring dry the news
hear her snicker echo low.

we are not 
in control. we are 
feathers in a blender 
learn; do not snap fingers 
under mother nature’s nose....

Bound up, restrained
my skin's too tight,
I want to howl the moon.

I wring my hands
fright is my plight
ev'ning comes too soon.

Mirrors quiver
in ambient light
to an aged crone, I croon.

No where to run
at each twilight
alone, inside, marooned....

I can eat your sick
because I'm immune to all the days
that gather at your feet and beg for you to
cease this living.
To wring necks dry of cost,
and to tell me not to?
In the end,
you can consider me nature's go-to gal;
I carry your countdown clock....

Beneath the gaze
of watchful eyes
she sits and cries.
The fairies pry

and wring their hands.
The wind goes by
with anguished sigh
he strokes her face.

This form is a "pathya vat".

woo wafts
pass through
embodied operatic night
whilst moonlight melody scatter
starlight scents
caress her delicate breast
blush face
wring the celestial body
out of its passion.

We watch from afar. We wring our hands
seeing the treachery of our governments
who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again.

UKRAINIAN SPRING

yellow sun     blue sky
burning sulfur and flint ash
corpses springing up

Hey,why deprived the juvenile of his breath without my permission?
Why bang into their honeymoon and kicked out the noble in derision?
You have no regards for souls and post in decisions.
I swear if you dare approach me i will wring off your neck in aggression.

When Ma got her social security check

    To the Cripple Creek casinos she'd trek

         Coins passed through her greedy paws

             To feed the slots' gaping maws

                  Leaving Pa peeved wanting to wring her neck

When life gives you lemons
You're supposed to make lemonade
However,
My lemonade always tastes too watery
So I squeeze and squeeze the lemons
I wring them out until there's nothing left
Except for the yellow peel
Taunting me with it's "happy" color
I take a sip,
And cringe
Because now,
It is too sour...

wayward, wanting
winds

waiting without
weigh

weary woefull
wanderers

weaving weather
warfare

walking waters
wringing

whatever writing
with

whirlwind wonders
working

wrenching wrinkles
worthless

wrestling wrong
writes

well....for now

stan sand



writing...when
writs...wring
wrong...

Mist between the pavement cracks,
fog patches sew the sky loosely together.

Walking, talking to my self like a crazy person;
it's words that do this
words as thin as a damp haze
words that float in a thought maze.

Back home
I will wring out the sponge in my head,
say something to the deaf walls,
listen for echoes....

Fall, you fickle flower,
Live to love a love in vain.
Live to be the painted beauty
Left to bleed into the rain.

Wait upon a whisper,
Wring out words til they allude
To the love you hope he echoes,
To the love you can't conclude.

Make your heart your captor,
Be your own worst enemy.
Thrive on self-dealt torture,
Fickle flower, falling free....

What a grate dey it is
Sonny whether and awl
Let's wring in Spring Brake   
Thyme for fun, half a bawl.  

Cum on, let's get aweigh
and lei on the beech
reed books by the serf
sea and bee scene.

Wheel watch waives bye the peer
Whet hour feat and hour tows
Ewe just mite meat Mr. Write
Theirs a chants, who nose?

Take a chicken
From out the yard
Wring its neck
Until it's not
Put the carcass
In a pot
Filled with water
Boiling hot
Add some spices
Mainly salt
Plus some celery 
By the stalk
Pick the bones 
From off the bird
Nice and tender
Is the word
Save the juices
I have heard
Common colds
It is the cure
Pick it up
And say bonjour
Lick your fingers
Afterwards...

Book on lap, propped open...
ears plugged, feel the gyrations!
hark to the beat, the beep!~ follow the 
bouncing ball dazzling screen – 

I seek to wring my mind, hang-out 
in sunlight for drying. I seek to detach collar, 
for leash-less fly -- desiring to lead, cease being
a sightless led eye – 

feeling need to mark territory

with my own scented splatter --...
