I swang.I swang from his heart thread to my last heart thread.
I swang unto his last heartbeats than I fallen, from his strings.
That were holding me up like a string puppet.
I sawng into the middle of a cold hearted man.
Into the middle of a trouble lost soul man heart's.
I sawng up,up,up, and away from mann kind.
Than swang down into a lost self loved man.
That has no name to think of,or to be trouble by, dreaming about this man.
I swang unto a note of the fiddler of itself just, fiddling away.
Than swang back into the ukulele player who played my, song.
A song for my lovers but a different type of beats, for my enemies.
I swang to thee of the hopeless loved ones who, plead the love to there special ones.
I swang from here, to there,to far,to near by hopes.

Listen to the cadence of the Elders
of freshly felled trees
Torn asunder, branchless
breaks for cover
The village playground
was deserted
No Moon yet
just a swing
swang by a ghost of a child
Evenings our dull forms appear
We thirst
for the white waters
sweet like our childhood

belong to Jesus gang
you could tell by way we sang
with a Southern twang
down whole church He brang
with Him danced and swang
around with liked to hang
gave me a mustang
heard bells when they rang
learning how to add
after my math had been bad
became a new fad
was another drone
causing us to moan and groan
should leave us alone

Tears in a revolution
Tear gas from the institution
The judge doesn't know their names
But the whole world was watching
A panther put with the bunch
Bound and gagged, with no lunch
A political trail they said was never done
They dressed as pigs, having fun
A biased look on democracy
Speak your peace, though peacefully
The billy bats swang
And heads were cracked
Revolution is in the air
Every movement tracked.
So here we are
What have we learnt?
Adjourn the trail
Let the panther free
Racism is still alive in humanity...

Shameless Suzy was swinging so high
she went almost straight up to the sky.
Right nearby her there stood
a new guy from the hood.
Up her skirt he was trying to spy.
Shameless Suzy surely was daring,
for she laughed and swang on not caring
when the guy called, "Hee hee,
for your undies I see."
No knickers was she even wearing!

Joining with my girlfriends on the playground,
Up and down in circles, we’d swing a rope.
My friends took turns. The rope swang round and round.
Playing is the school child’s ray of hope
In those recess times that we kids enjoyed so much.
No one got left out. Double ropes meant Double Dutch!
Glad were we taking turns swinging till our time to jump.
Round and round our ropes kept swinging till the school bell rang.
One by one we back into our classes ran.
Picturing those times now with my gal pal gang,
Even now I’d love to be right there once again!

Dear old swing, hanging from our back yard tree.
Well I remember those long summer days
as memories of childhood now flood me.
For hours I swang! It was more than a phase.
Well I remember those long summer days.
Alone, feeling free, with daydreams flowing,
for hours I swang! It was more than a phase.
How high I could climb once I got going!
Alone, feeling free, with daydreams flowing!
Thinking of back then – I sit with a sigh.
How high I could climb once I got going.
Let me once again fly up to the sky!
Thinking of back then – I sit with a sigh
as memories of childhood now flood me.
Let me once again fly up to the sky -
Dear old swing, hanging from our back yard tree.

Summer wearing a coat
Wearing across
coast to coast
Humble never boast
Double shot on a toast
Eat a slow cooked roast
Lil things what show
Beware a care
Wolfs howls affection
They in pairs
Attached to attention
Hungry for a ration
Fk im real you acting
and fake cast flexing
Leading a pack
Only fk with real from way back
Always up cant relax
Wrist froze with the Rolex
Purp poured screwed
On my Texas swang.
Money never rest
No bed, no stress
on my best with a chain
Gold finesse
Fit with game flex
My mind only pain
Smile on my face
When she gives brain
Nike checks

“Your undies I see,” joked Wong Ling
as his girlfriend swang high on a swing.
Suzie laughed and she laughed,
saying, “You are so daft,
‘cause down there I’m not wearing a thing!”

Need Rehab on Cold Slab
Could be because I became a crab;
What we really need is some rehab;
For while waited;
Was reactivated;
They found us lying on a cold slab.

My Goodness and Great Lord
Oh my goodness and great Lord,
So He will welcome you aboard;
Will invite,
More poems write;
Hearing from does look toward.
Jim Horn
On test started with vibe and verve;
Then results had downward swerve;
Afraid;
Failing grade,
So teacher did grade us on a curve.
Jim Horn
Was a bitter quitter of the liter;
Had horrible time being a hitter
Saw some trees;
Swang at breeze;
So ended up being a rail splitter.

Quietly I sat and gazed
As the hissing winds mocked about.
The leaves silently whispered and swayed,
And together swayed with them the trees.
The birds about,flew, sang and perched.
The meadow was beautiful and green,
Painted in all flowers bright: lilies,roses, violets and lavender.
Quietly I sat
Lost to nought but lovely sounds
Of joyous birds and hissing winds.
A soul lost in pleasantries
Of a sight all beautiful and all fair.
For a moment I swang my head,
And closed my eyes.
The birds when silent,
There singing was no more.
The winds now hissed with a cold.
The thin long trees stood without leaves.
The meadow was burnt to ashes.
All that was green,was now black and grey.
Whence came a fire so raged,
In a moment sheer to consume
All that was beautiful.
Life is a beautiful fabric,
Fair but sheer.

Hexed window swing devil swang, opening for derelicts that look out a black
and tortured sky’s howling wind, pain so great that the house creaks
and groans, moving now and then.
Father has a mind to kill himself, yep, he isn’t insane of course, just living among zombies.
I tend this ageless man with Alzheimer’s, wondering where he has gone.
I have patience for a patient who won’t wake up despite being fed stories,
spreading the word of hope that help us cope.
I was bullied by birds that feast as one with no pecking order in gouged out
eyes belonging to others.
Friends of the night are stranger by the day.
Everyone was fainting away from stench, the land of breath having
unnatural breathing.
The end we sought has decay of lying about the rotten truth when the living
come by chance far and few between roads of ruin.
The End.

When I saw them burning my paddy field,
I pleaded - DON'T!
When I saw them burning my house,
I pleaded - DON'T!
When they swang my baby into the the blaze;
I begged them - DON't!
Then they gangraped my pregnant wife,
Suffocating one inside,
I cried - DON'T!
Now they turned to me
To make me a ghost.

Fran, the zoo’s favourite orangutang
Was caught today playing with a boomerang
Later to onlookers she showed her fang
As she stuffed her face with banana pie meringue
As one hand held on to the overhang
From which she forever swang
With boundless energy Fran sprang
And joyfully bells rang and rang
That night Fran got into her yellow mustang
And drove to a karaoke and sang
Her words had the perfect slang
Although most painful was their twang
As though Fran felt a sudden pang
She ended with an awesome bang
Said goodnight to all the gang
Can you believe this whole shebang
