Best Afoot(P) Poems

In snow
Walk slow

If stuck
Hard luck

Bad foot?
Stay put

Forced stay
Delay

A sleigh!
Hooray!

A session with my chiropodist
Is an occasion not to be missed.
We speak of recipes and cruise ships
And other folks' relationships
And pension plans and how to lose weight
And allergies and things we hate
And Christmas plans and hip replacements,
And politics and financial statements,
And things from childhood we...

ancient Aztec communication mask
with her brilliant fluorescent lines
comes alive in the deepest recesses of the caves
unseen by humans
revered by spirits of the otherworld
mysticism is afoot...

E'er so oft the presence of breeze displays,
Through fluttering leaves of trees and branch sways,
A course, whereto, not set by the seasons,
'Tis the calm fore the storm being its reasons.

Days fore this, unbearable sweltering,
Heat intensity, felt so blistering,
'Twas shirtless men and loosely topped women,
It hit...

On the jetty a Green Harbor
I stood the other day
Cold and wet and rainy
An’ I was out t’ play

The wind was keepin’ company
She rode in with the tide
Spottin up me glasses

Of a hungry screaming seagull
A flutter in me eyes
The footing...

Today when and once i awoke

Much like any other day

With no or other apparent reason

After giving up all hope of hope

And instead of wishing time would
stop and for the end to come 

I felt something foreign the
strangest thing as if a
blast from my past

As for...

Sherlock and Watson looked at the woman with blank expressions
What they had were some totally unique impressions
Watson was looking at her, thinking what a poor little thing
Sherlock was wishing the 221 Baker Street bell still did not ring

Her story was not sound in any sort...

CORONA'S AFOOT; GIVE TO THE POOR

Before Corona there were rich and poor,
Developed countries and developing ones,
Individuals knocking on fortune's door,
While others were her daughters and sons.

On arrival, Corona ransacked the space,
Shattering with baton in hand!
Every economy she would deface!
No language did she understand!

Wealthy countries were...

Look in the chamberpot
There you will find
Some agent of darkness
The Foul Fiend left behind

The sordid element
The secrets they keep
And the dank crannies
Wherein they do creep

There is no sin so scarlet
That they will not partake
They would pawn their own mothers
For foul pharmacy's sake

Note that these scoundrels
Have...

Sea horse mania is afoot
I see them in my sleep
Thanks to a collector daughter
They prance and neigh

Ridiculous I think
There is loud laughter
A splash from my water glass
Two land on my bedside table...

"Lo, there be Giants under foot
In just a moment I'm going to face my Giants
 I am just an ant on a hill Looking around me for the foot of danger 
I hear the swift sounds of the wind 
As the foot comes down around...

Three am now
Faerie magic is afoot
The witching hour

The house is silent
Spirits try for attention
I know they are here

I sense and smell them
Because my family is fey
Sometimes they throw things...

Something's afoot
    I picture it
      I sense it
        I detect it
          I hearken

Something's stirring
     It's moving

When sleep's afoot
  roaming the hills
Will pillows deign pursuit...

Yet when dreams linger
  waking's a beggar
knocking at your door...
