Splitting Poems

Ear-Splitting, Liver-Bellied Bullying

plink, plink, water in the sink
sinks slowly into budding suds
torturing the pans and fork tines
who want cascade - show on the road
plink, plop, hands over ears, now stop
but slowly the spatter of drops
like the slow go of a rain storm
keep habitating, repeating
their ear-splitting, liver-bellied
bullying of the spoons and cups
the apron-covered giant turned
off the faucet, threw

Splitting the Unhappy Atom

You go to bed unhappy,
in a separate room I also am unhappy.
Neither of us know why.

We worry too much
about each other's unhappiness.

Maybe we should talk less,
unhappiness always starts as a word
in our heads.

Splitting Us and Them

Within a chosen realm, 
Empty, yet occupied by many a mind
Stacked upon the next, as chaos forebode,
They’ve left their very own bodies behind.

In there, they’re Theirs, 
The Them, whose glimpse the gospel pined.
Stacked upon the next, in order by code,
Their there, where they’re confined.

As if, as if, They’re there, 
Yet neither hitherto here nor hither

Splitting Hares

The White Rabbit while all was in bed

Snuck in the back and ate all the bread

He thought it was funny 

This silly white bunny

Till the Red Queen said...OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Splitting Sunsets

Sometimes my soul 
resembles distant horizons, 
like burning stars 
abandoned between
  dusk and dawn.

When the 
     sky hangs 
as heavy as 
    my hazy heart, 
I search for a sign 
from heaven 
   to soothe 
the somber sequences 
of nature blanketing 
   mountains

Splitting

I operate in abundance of extremes,
Flirtish to skittish; kind-hearted to mean
I am a tolerant bigot or a emotional stoic
Yet everyone around me don’t even know it

The tug-o-war of conflicting interests 
Both teams in an endless contest
To control my fast twitch reflex
Of my best defence; verbal offence. 

Shutting people down from entering my mind
When I see

Splitting Heirs

A little dance around Stonehenge
As KCIII plots his revenge
No longer ignored
The King hones his sword
Heads will roll as pseudo friends cringe

KCIII's new horrorscope reads:
"Guess what? Today, William succeeds!
The stars explain
Your drop of reign
You plotted revenge but not deeds!"

The Sea Is Telling the Truth

She sits by the edge of the sea
Let the sea water inundates the shore and her legs
Cold and brushing
Heart splitting
As they are defrosted tears from the past
Only loneliness remains
Still looking out the sea for a happy return
But love lost in the sea will never be found
Listen
The sea is telling the truth
Up and down, up and

Splitting Hares

Two rabbits will always make haste
One minute is too long to waste
Each split-second counts
So he quickly mounts
The chaste are chased by the two-faced

Ear-Splitting Sound

The skyway is clear,
So is the well-paved runway,
The airplane takes off.

Splitting Hairs

Splitting Hairs
David J Walker

If you only knew 
How often
I do just that

Splitting hairs to enter 
Another dimension 
Leaving me both here
And there, driving the streets 
Of abstract convention 

Where traffic lights are blue
And the tomorrows are
No longer new and are known
For abstruse pretention

Everyone seems to know my name
When they think they see me in
This other

Splitting the Bill

When friends share a restaurant meal
Who eats what is not a big deal
For the bill will be split
Though I have to admit
That some awkwardness this could reveal.

A group member might simply declare
He or she finds his portion unfair
‘Cause she ate so much less
That it gives her distress
To contribute a similar share.

It’s a problem one rarely

Splitting Up the Family

Splitting up the family
Takes a bunch of thought
She grabs his favorite picture
As she leaves with a big pot.

He stuffs her grandma’s quilt
In the bottom of a bag of smelly shoes.
Splitting up the family
Makes everybody lose.

Splitting Up

I think I better leave right now
Before I say something stupid
Like only a boy in love would

And if this is our parting shot
Let it not be lost in sentimentality 
I am sure you agree
We can drop the formalities 

We know each other far to well
To pretend 
We do not know each other's foibles 
And pressure
