Slings Poems

Toupee

Toupee, or not toupee,
that is the question:
whether 'tis nobler on the head
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous alopecia
or to take wigs against a sea of baldness,
wear them as a buffer,
the whips and scorns stem,
and by opposing end them.
Ay, that's the nub.

With apologies to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)

Slings and Arrows

Thrust into a turbulent nexus
Exceeding ability to cope
Sucker-punched in my solar plexus
Victim of life's rope-a-dope

By the Slings and Arrows--

By The SLINGS And ARROWS--

Slings and adventurous, attractive arrows by the  empty edge 

Arrows slung by the archer's aching arms  

Artistically slung and, alternative arrows arrival all areas

Slings and Arrows

I foolishly fell from a mountainous high only to land on a desert dry
Images of liquid lust within my emotive eye calcified to a crusted cry
Warning winds in delusory distance holding hurricanes of resistance
Conjuring catacombs of assistance within isolation of nonexistence	

The pensive pain penetrates as the perfidious palette perpetrates
Limbic resonance that hibernates awaking the storm

By the Waters Edge Slings and Arrows--

By The Waters Edge SLINGS And ARROWS

Slings and adventurous, attractive arrows by the water's aesthetic, empty edge 

Arrows slung by the waters archer's border 

Slings and autistic, alternative arrows by the water's enjoyable, explosive edge
