Sometimes I like to write the craziest poems I can think of.. LOL

I knew a woman with one leg
by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


I knew a woman
With one leg
No arms
No head
No hands
No face
Blind
Deaf
Mute
Refuse
I’m guessing
Just speculating
What happened
No evidence
Some conjecture
She fell
Off a cliff
Hitting her head
Smashing fer face
Tearing her limbs
Ripping her skin
Breaking her bones
She fell for days
Bouncing
All the way
Downward
A projectile
A missile
Blood and guts
Meat and bone
Boom
Finally
She hit bottom
Crashing down
Landing
In a pit
Filled with
Gators
Bears
Tigers
Lambs
Wolves
Bats
Rabid cats
Horney rats
Murderous snails
Dogs with no tails
Pissed off bee’s
Hornets on PCP
Broken trees
Shaped like spikes
Jagged stones
Gas filled holes
Flaming rocks
Molten lava
Rusty nails
Broken glass
Blah blah blah
There
A pond
Next to land
Squared
Brackish it be
From the sea
By a stream
There is no bait
Just predators
Without prey
Sharks
With laser beams
Whales
With abscessed teeth
Dolphins
With STD’s
Crabs
With fangs
Jellyfish
Turned smelly fish
Abominable creatures
Devoid of nature
Diseased
Dying
Fighting for every scrap
Of what could be
And probably should be
Their last meal
I knew a woman
With one leg
She must be dead
She fell
Was pushed
Certain
Said death
After all
Without question
Do you know how long
It took me to arrange
So many things?
