Opposable thumbs

He walks alone through the hush of morning,
dew balancing like prayers on blades of grass.
above him, a red kite wheels as geometry drawn
and for a moment,he forgets what we’ve done.

the earth is still kind,still spills blossom from trees
we’ve maimed all that is good with our distain
let rivers write sermons through concrete and spillage.
yet even now,she

thumbs are amazing

I use my thumbs to pry my dog’s mouth open
when he is chewing hard plastic or a pair of glasses
they are also used when I want to open or shut doors
pull a dresser knob, use a fork, knife or spoon

I cannot imagine how worthless my hands would be without them
They are imperative to grasp turn

Evolution

Once we were hunter-gatherers
tribes grouped outdoors
before the days of yore
now we're hunt and peckers
each cooped indoors
on personal computer keyboards
and way back when
we'd communicate
banging on the drums
yes since then
we've progressed
today we're all
fingers and thumbs

Roger Joseph Ebert
on film judging was an expert
so, upon his review

Thumbs

I look forward to
the morning when
I 
wake up with
box-shaped thumbs.

Thumbs

The rich get the cake,
The poor get the crumbs,
Hungry children sleep,
Sucking their thumbs.

Raise Your Thumbs For This One

Of all the inventions 
  whose time has come
  There is only one
  that will raise your thumbs
  All the way up, and then some ...
  
  As I'm sure you'll agree, wholeheartedly
  'twill resonate with every copy-machine owner
     the day I announce my

Thumbs Up

Each finger performs forthwith
the assigned functions freely,
aware that interference imposed
and the suffocating attire slipped in,
can be unpleasantly chaotic,
disturbing the digital harmony,
for the fingers feel stifled.
The garb of glove desensitizes
their discerning dexterity,
the hand dislikes.

The cathartic outfit of ease,
the mitten encases the fingers,
strengthening the fiber of comaradarie
that fosters the spirit of togetherness,
except for the odd one,
solely signaling

Two Thumbs Up

This is an unbelievable true story of a time when I was in my younger years. I drove out to California with a buddy of mine to spend some time with my brother. To make a long story short, we ended up living there for almost a year. We had met some people that we

Green Thumbs and Climate Change

Our ability to fight climate change, 
May well depend on the number of green thumbs,
We vote for, to lead the charge.

This may lead to thumb printing all candidates,
For all positions to check if they are truly green,
In this we should not hesitate.

All children should be exposed to grass,
That is green,
And to have planted at least

Opposable Thumbs

Takes the form of a human, 
an animal lies beneath 
for what are we anyway 
escapologists from the trees
Maybe we’re special, intelligent,
if still a little dumb 
outgrown that inbred purpose 
to breed and thrive 
Humans need satisfaction,
a journey, fantasies and thrills
Always just beneath a willingness to kill 
Content, we are under control
happiness is to be

Thumb Poetry

Writing a poem with only my thumbs
Opposable digits are A-number one
Will autocorrect fix the words I write wrong?
Not all words are lucky as I coax them along
My phone keyboard clicking as I’m typing the words
Now back to correct my fast-thumb-spelling turds

How long can I go with these poor thumbs of mine?
Most likely for hours, they’re

Thumbs Up 2020

My soul has been fed and nourished once more.
I now count my blessings as 2020 heads for the door.
This year has been a challenge but it has opened my eyes.
I am another year older and another year wise.

My relationship with life has now been renewed.
I will put aside the bad and focus on the good

Thumbs

Imagine if we didn't have thumbs
We spill our coffee and yell at the top of our lungs
Five is better than four
Oh more just one more
How the world would be so much more fun
