Best Bolting Poems


Premium Member My Horse and Me
Down the gradient of meandering verdant valley
Draining down the dregs of the fading dusk
Beyond the threshold of the wild woods thick
My white stallion gallops in the emerald prairie.

Gossamer gloss sparkles on  the supple skin
Wisps of silky cloud swirl on the satin mane
Tossing on swinging...

Turkey Chase
Turkey's on the table, both legs up
Everything was fine, 'til I made the first cut!

The turkey unleashed a "CACKLE!", then jumped onto the floor
All you could see was basted skin, bolting out the door!

"Catch that turkey!!", I screamed,..."That's our evening meal!!"
The neighborhood looked on in...

Premium Member Victim Or Predator
He had watched her for two years
patiently waiting for her to grow up.
He knew all her movements, what
made her laugh, all of her moods.

Soon now it would be time, their time
together. She would be fifteen tomorrow.
He talked to her in his mind and heard her
answering...

Premium Member Madame Blavatsky -POTD
Hashish smoke trails her 
along a dusky corridor
Aka the hall of fires
where mirage chimeras unleash
Encumbered with hands splayed
her crystal ball lumens 
wires ghostly apparitions
mnemonic attachments
What mystery ensues
a phantasmagoria 
of horror nudging 
the demonic
Sitters drenched 
in profuse sweat
fainting one by one 
Alas unconscious
their fate met?
Coroners couldn’t...

Premium Member Good-Luck Charm
On the door of every Jewish home
   is a sort of 'good-luck charm'
Containing certain verses Biblical
   to keep all who come and go from harm

Some kiss it on the way out or in
   to deter themselves from acts of...

Premium Member The Visitor
Once upon a night so bleak,
frozen silent laid the creek --
air of death, pushed, swore
and swore...as if were fists
pounded the frail, wood door;

shutters noised, bolting and
banging; metal hinges oddly
clanging – cupboard glasses
adding more tumultuous tang, 
as they, in vile unison, vibrantly rang…

suddenly, through frosted pane
I...

To Have and To Hold
To find something that springs to dawning light, 
  Dazzling in the dark, a diamond in a dusty bowl, 
When not really looking, only counting sheep at night 
  Convert to counting blessings, to cocaine for the soul. 
Polished the dreary calcium in...

Premium Member The Wind Is Isolde - Part 1
The warden’s bewildered, the keeper’s amazed
as the gate gapes behind us, a hole in the haze.
Our steps seem uncertain, the cobblestones crazed,
pearly stars burn above us like pinwheels ablaze.
Though lanterns hang vacant in streets staring blind,
broken paths paved in puzzles compel me to roam,

Shoe Bop - Kerplop
Cinderella was a starry-eyed lass
Dancing at the ball in shoes made of glass
While bolting for the doors
She encountered waxed floors
And unfortunately fell on her A$$!

Mischievous Cats


Bella and Shadow nestled in their woven beds on the cat tree.

Bella stretches out her legs and purrs. 


"Psst, Psst. Hey, Shadow, are you up for some fun?"

"Sure!” Shadow purred, "What do you have in mind?"

"Let's go tease Peeddie.

Let's see how far he can...

Premium Member Comets
From the sky I drop like two flies
Whirring, swirling in the air so high
Blazing like crystals I come in fire
Rolling like thunder, bolting so dire

From the top you see me fall
Dwindling over you like wishing spirals on hold
Exploding before your eyes, blasting like winter snow
Feeding,...

Broke Me Down
Something has apprehended me,
I'm intimidated by what I fear.
Petrified of loosing control of me personally,
I couldn't fathom my life to disappear.

The sadness is breaking me down inside,
one blow at a time!
Loosing sight of what is important to me,
maybe that's a sign.

So many thoughts are running...

"Pet Sit"

When one is involved in  “Pet-Sit Panic,”
And all goes wrong you become quite frantic.
  Bull dog mated Pekinese,
  The union contacted fleas.
Simple mistakes, but  problems gigantic.

Just no way to hid all the evidence.
Pekinese scratching while climbing a fence.
