THROWING PEARLS
Finally invited
Such an important event
What shall I bring
I have no money
I pray my poem
Will open up and sing
....the beauty of LOVE
Sitting patiently
Gift after gift, opened
Joyful laughter afloat
Down to one sack
And my presence
Marking sheep or goat
...to reveal
"Oh...let's not forget
This little card
Thank you, Trudy
...oh....a poem"
"Read it aloud!!!"
....no....I'll read it later
Passing to the door
I see the gift
Glistening

throwing poetry at me
I wake up with half a sentence prancing around in my dream state.
Snatch this phrase up and run for the bathroom.
By the time I finish, the words are gone.
Dissipated as quickly as they had appeared.
I am unconcerned. My muse is clairaudient.
She hears poems from a plethora of dimensions.
I take my cues from her, for she

Throwing ice cubs down my throat
Money sadly always plays a role in life.
It leaves scratches around my chest with a knife.
I see you having no more money while we all have five.
I am paying attention, near you I'll always thrive.
But I stop myself, I should never ever again arrive.
,,does someone have 20cents?", It's funny how everyone continues with their drive.
I

Flame Throwing
Each morning we’d sweep up words,
and shove them under rugs,
or coffee tables.
Some words escaped to the garden,
where they poisoned the peach tree.
Paint on shell-shocked walls blistered,
the cat became so high-strung.
that it hid under a neighbor's roof
and had quite forgot how to stalk birds.
We confided to a priest,
who denounced adultery and lust,
while openly scratching his ball-sack.
When

Throwing Shade
Throwing Shade is aimed at one's aspirations,
dreams, and optimism, Throwing Shade.
Including confidential matters once shared one's
thought might be kept privileged,
information at one point handed out is now
disclosed, Throwing Shade.
Unrestrained talk spreads like wildfire, Throwing
Shade.
The company you keep amongst others you're
aptly aware that one does not mingle with,
Throwing Shade.
Feeling like if one is in contempt

Throwing Dice
the screen door closes with a rattle
like a man trying to throw Yahtzee
despite the odds
shortly after, the familiar footfall of my father
calling ‘Baba boy, baba boy’ to me on the porch
I life my mug in reply, filled with hot coffee,
he fills the watering can with cold water
a low breeze rustles the fronds of a palm

NO THROWING OF STONES:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES...
Chorus:
Ain' t throw stones when you self a fouler,
Words you say could later come haunting you,
So think twice Mr. Traitor.
That's a whisperer's comments, yet the
Words go further as the chronnicle goes further and further,
OH yeah.... Further and further....
Oooh further....further

Life Keeps Throwing Curve Balls
Everything pressing on my mind
So, I question, why?
Blessings are small when addressing
Where I am currently at right now.
Life is compressing my being
With every-day turmoil progressing.
I am a window dressing of peace,
But a different narrative inside.
Blessings my Lord, gaze down on me
And open a flood gate of discipline,
Help me transcend above

Throwing In the Towel
Time comes when you "toss in the towel"
Considering your life’s work as finished,
You can go out with a satisfied growl
Or, attempt to have your work refinished.
Either way you know you have succeeded
For you followed your gut’s inclinations,
You listened to advice, most cases heeded
Hopefully, you left a few good impressions.

The Fine Art of Axe-Throwing
Ever gone to throw an axe?
You’ll love it if you try.
Grip the handle and relax,
Standing firm into your tracks,
Release and let it fly.
Over end, the axe will spin,
And through the air will whisk.
To the target, caged within,
Close to center, you will win,
Like darts with more the risk.
In the target, there are rings,
That circle round the

Drunk Sober Throwing Up Lows
It's the bliss of the first kiss
now someone you miss
oh they came and their gone
wandering on
you try to stay strong
where have the people gone
And I don't want to sound upset
but my life reset
all I had is now gone
everything changed
I'm all on my own
where have the people gone
Going slowly on my only
in a world no one
