Mad Kane's Limerick ~ Offs

A Gated Limerick

a gal with a very full plate

decided to leave love to fate

she had a ten year plan

and a sexy pool-man

at her house on the hill upstate

3 Word Wednesday-  downhill/ freak/ sliver

The Faintest Flicker

sitting across from you 

I struggle to control the beast

inside of me..

I want to scream and yell

that this is not all that there is..

I want to lecture about freaks

and downhill spirals and blessings

that take ballet and learn to play the organ..

but for the life of me I can not choke

the joy that I see in your eyes..

and for just one second .. I too 

caress a sliver of hope...

The Sunday Whirl- Wordle #30
We Write Poems - Prompt #80

Pamela Sayers asked us to gather a minimum of twelve words, then write little snapshots in response to each word. Each small “poemlet” could stand on its’ own or perhaps have some relationship to the rest... as usual I have combined a few meme's to write what my heart and soul believed in..


A Dozen Thoughts

what impetus moves the bees
diligently.. sweetly

justifiable vindication..declared
my middle finger stands..

eloquent words sputtered
the Holy Book pounding the podium

no solace for the sinners
no cuddles for me

friendship swivels
on a tightrope with no balance

motionless I stand
but the chirping birds pass me by

pretty pink coral smoothed
deep in my blue jean pocket

rapidly the world spins on
no worries no worries man

point at your brother
homeless needy despairing

stand tall Samaritan
your strength is in the weary

the cleaning lady giggles
effortlessly attracting consideration

Ahhh... Another lunch hour has escaped me
while I was giving my life some thought
