Premium Member To An Injured Fox Cub - With Thanks To Michael Coy
Today I found you cornered, drenched in cold,
your fur coat nothing but a newborn's down,
a tiny ball unfolding while I hold
you shivering. Your lacerations frown

and at a distance, I can see the why
of your abandonment, the birds of prey.
I’ve saved you, but you’re causing me...

Premium Member Her Coy Smile
A white handkerchief
    embroidered in lace
  concealed a coy smile on
    the fair maiden's face

  The very first 'feminist'
    in her own delicate way...
  to view the charms of her smile

Coy To His Mistress
When two people fall in love,
   there's one thing that they long to do.
It's true for birds and bees and doves,
   and equally for me and you.
The pleasantest of loving deeds,
   it's fed by, and in turn it feeds,
...

Parody of Andrew Marvel's Poem To His Coy Mistress
Parody of Andrew Marvell's "to his coy mistress"
We have no time to waste 
Dear in Love let's make haste
I haven't time to praise your locks 
For my boss at my back stalks
And for sheer platonic relation 
Internet erotic sites I can't shun
And I have dates...

He was an unusual boy
Who thought Granny played with his toys
Granny thought it was so cute
She's his playmate in cohoots
Even though she is being coy___  ...

Coy
a shy hither smile
warmly rising radiance
whiff of mystery

lashes lowered soft
flutter of hope awaiting
a promising glance...

Premium Member The Sea's Coy Lover
I float in an aquamarine idyll; 
a bird soaring in shallows 
while hearing translucent echoes,
hovering pastel ripples
reminiscent of cobalt depths 
carried on shy currents
to an alabaster beach.

Sun's shimmer tiptoes
on serpentine waves,
pirouettes like star bursts
among the soupcon
of fuchsias and teals
that tease the surface 
like a coy...

Response To To His Coy Mistress
Had I been one to trust in Faith-
Dear Sir, in this love we would bathe.
Thy poem I would hide away,
Yet the lord won't lead us astray.
In faces of harsh countenance,
We would stand together, unmoved,
While the universe shatters, bruised.
If thou should ever leave me, spurn-
Me, By...

My Coy Mistress
My coy mistress is comely
In every aspect proven complete
Well tutored from the home-front corner.

My coy mistress I owe a tender care
Obeying to the letter the command
Through thick and thing my love must cross.

My coy mistress and I as couple
To the long awaited moment we come
Making...

Coy and Vance
We're Coy and Vance and we replaced Bo and Luke.
When people watched us on TV, it made them puke.
Many people changed the channel when our show was on.
The once high ratings of the show were gone.
We were basically clones of Luke and Bo.
People cheered when...

To His Coy Master
Had we but words enough and tact 
This coyness, master. Were no crime 
I will like Marvell
Use simile to woo your love 
And wait on you on the wings of time 
Till your hardened ice becomes water 
And I, able to pen you down in...

Guinevere To Arthur Being Coy
Oh, my darling Arthur, this euphoric feeling what is it? 
Is it something from sensual pleasure? 
Or something in my dreams? 
Is it perspiration glistening on a manly chest? 
Or when I have rivulets of perspiration running between my breasts? 
Is it lying on a...

Coy Troy
Coy Troy, oh he was a big boy
But he really could annoy 
      He was always single
      With no girl to mingle 
Because oh Troy was a big boy...
