I once knew a lady contortionist
Who got stiffer as she got older.
She got locked in position
And called a physician
As she could only look over her shoulder.
Her legs were akimbo, disjointed
Her arms bade her body goodbye.
Her nose squashed right in
To the dent of her chin,
And her vision was lost in one eye!
Her stomach found refuge in quite a strange place
Not telling you exactly where.
But suffice to say,
She quite rued the day
That she’d failed to remove all the hair!
Her lungs soon collapsed in submission
And breathing became quite a chore.
And I know it’s far-fetched
But her buttocks had stretched
And draped messily on the floor!
Her doctor called in a Knot Expert
Who examined her body with pity.
His brain then he wracked
But restored her intact,
Apart from her tattooed left titty!
Who got stiffer as she got older.
She got locked in position
And called a physician
As she could only look over her shoulder.
Her legs were akimbo, disjointed
Her arms bade her body goodbye.
Her nose squashed right in
To the dent of her chin,
And her vision was lost in one eye!
Her stomach found refuge in quite a strange place
Not telling you exactly where.
But suffice to say,
She quite rued the day
That she’d failed to remove all the hair!
Her lungs soon collapsed in submission
And breathing became quite a chore.
And I know it’s far-fetched
But her buttocks had stretched
And draped messily on the floor!
Her doctor called in a Knot Expert
Who examined her body with pity.
His brain then he wracked
But restored her intact,
Apart from her tattooed left titty!

how to raise a broken kid
i.
i was born in the eye of a raging hurricane
in the night where all the rivers
turned the water into tears---
there was pain and there was rain
and muffled whispers to my ears
from that day i recognize
the face and color
of my fears
ii.
let them claim me
let them drain me
till my last droplet of hope
let them crucify me hollow
through a kid's kaleidoscope
let them dress me with their sins
and their outdated type of skins
let them paint me with their colors
and pretend i didn't see
iii.
in the corner of the room
broken bones on broken bed
paint is dripping down the walls—
fading colors under red
i can't breathe and i can't

Blood Mother
I love you in your inexistence
rabbit’s ear
baby’s breath
you are dust
but you are
mine.
Misadventures and
dew drop mornings
small curls
large eyes
my bones cannot knit your future.
Sunsets and moonbeams
sleep burdens our eyes
your soft lips sigh
there is a better world for you
than this.

Deliverance
Existing at the mouth of obscurity;
disoriented and misplaced by your
fickle exploitation as prevailing gales
usher my liberation and acknowledge me
as a woman redeemed from ashes.
I battled for every inch gained beyond
your insolence; no longer a forgiving hostage
of perpetual manipulation. Renewing a life
in the midst of immoral confinement, to save
a mind now flawed as it counters your hysteria.
At last, you have departed my punished
subconsciousness, leaving behind a marred
courage, eternally revived. The domination
that annihilated my faith has ignited a
persistence unrivaled by your miserable life.

Not in true limerick form and not intended to be (first and second lines don't rhyme) but hope the content makes up for this.
