     clinging to a wind-tossed leaf
     a red-and-black-spotted ladybug
     flips upside down, then 
        right side up 
        again...

Flipping the Bluebirds
“Flipping the Bluebirds” 

There’s no point playing
Norwegian Wood
when your keyboard’s 
like a gun calling  

murdering 
all your darlings 
for other meaningful
glories

lavender doesn’t sit well
when violet’s riddled story
winds up the beat 
dodging silver bullets

like sunshine dancing 

across the governance board
and the soft-shoe watch 
showered with...

Flipping the Wig
The girl had her groove on she 
laughed a lot and was hip and 
not too heavy going. At seventeen 
I needed an old lady to go to the
prom with. Not wanting to wipe 
out on my first try I caught the 
groove, Taking my...

Trump Flipping His Lid
Trump Flipping His Lid 

My Today Forward Day By Day
emphasized God's grace. Is my
writing poems and posting them
on Poetry Soup an act of grace?
Here goes. You can start laughing
now if you want to.

Trump would gripe about our hype
Regarding him and each stereotype
His collisions with plans...

THE FLIPPING INVESTIGATION 2017
All politicians in the beltway show
what signs of times we put up with today,
obesity is in again, we know
and ev'ry politician thinks they're here to stay.

Our greed is yet determined, and well hid
and under ev'ry table there's a hand
while those left out...

Flipping the Bird
The Cattle Egret is a bird
That chooses to follow the herd
Because it can't find
A girl who is kind
Or a man as good as his word...

Fly Flipping Here and There
An early morning appetiser to help breakfast go down better. TC

This just to whet your appetite

As A Fly Does
 
What would it be like to be a Fly?  
Buzzing around wondering why
Flitting from lampshade to curtain and back, 
Dodging the cobwebs and flyswats that...

Music of deception plays loud
Mask flips on the faces of crowd
In sly chameleon celebration 
I dance with me in isolation.

A Flipping Vision
Some flipping visions leave behind, 
Gripping influence on the mind, 
They do refresh us more and more, 
When are recalled to be flavoured, 
From the heap of sunken memories. 

I saw a damsel full in size and bulk, 
With healthy sanguine vigorous face, 
As her...

God Never Likes Flipping His Lid
God Never Likes Flipping His Lid

Why could there be cesspool of ridicule
And like people who are always a fool
Which way should they all start slaving
To find way to stop their misbehaving.

Where you start is most important of all
There could be chips and how they fall
That...

A flip

Of perspectives

Lenses changed

Newness arriving

Then and there..

A frequent story

Seeming to miss

There's no one 

To witness

A flip..but that's

Another story......

It’s been a hard day but there’s no laws to say
That I can’t settle down with a gin
Late night R & R with an hour of TV
And then I will maybe turn in

The gin… that was easy, just spin that screw cap
Then tip up the...
