Best Jut Out Poems
Boston Ivy
POTD~
In the misery of a paler grey nightfall
she blinks like citrine glazed along walls,
Ivy of Boston flaunts her shimmer without guilt
as palette of amber claims her lustrous glides
slithering with her bohemian lift,
rosette flesh blushing in chilled breeze.
Social climber this paramour, whirling
among plants wanton wild...

JackalJungle's deadly wolf roams,
Jaws tightening as limbs
Jut out from black of night;
Jeering its prey for one
Joust between man and beast:
Jingling its canine paws,
Jolts rip a hunter's flesh!

Third Planet From the SunSome rocks may crumble into lifeless sand
or drift like shifty grit beneath my arch,
while others face the elements and stand
as guards against the ocean's forward march.
Some rocks jut out; cut back in jagged spears
much like a corpse's silent, toothless scream,
while others flaunt and pose, with...

Wave of SolaceSlitting my eyes from a world pining
for a refuge where the wave of solace
touches hours' depth in celtic notes,
I turn into gentle bones fluid and chaste…
my illumined flames taste the potion
of air while an inner self watches a breath
climb tenderly, kindling my womanhood
incense, jasmine, and...

Bedtime MagicBEDTIME MAGIC
Sprawled under nightscape of galaxy bright
Tiny sequins pulse on blaze of luster,
A beaded stars nova bursts on flight
Into a full-blown montage, the lawns flicker
Reams of tales climb on visions lit by dappled view
While children’s breaths gleam of fantasy hayrides,
And fairies jut out from...

Light KeeperDeep down his lungs, a full baritone trills
Coughing out for all to hear, "Be safe,
Wayfarers until the sea is clear; "
As transient gulls flit below sail boats
Navigating the hazardous eddy:
Angled rocks ensnare old mollusks
Till sounds of ...

Flinty MysterySome rocks jut out jagged spears
or cut back into dark caverns
like a skeleton's yawning scream.
Others show their faces—smooth
as a woman's breast—tumbled,
contoured, and polished
by a raging mountain stream.
Some rocks crumble into dust
or shell a slippery slide
like dry, shifting desert sand
under the heel of my...

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Much Ado About PoiWelcome to a typical 'Luau' spread. The first thing that is best to learn is the Hawaiian word, 'ono', which means, delicious. It's a word bandied about before and after food goes in your mouth. In later years, it became a slang word as 'onolicious.'...

How Odd Are OttersAre otters so odd?
In Old English
Their name means 'water'
And it really ought to
As they live near the river or sea
Are otters so odd?
They sing like canaries
With clear voices
So happy and merry
Their high-pitched...

Blackened Ocean WatersBlackened ocean waters
At the setting of the sun
Golden sand decorates the beach
A beacon for all to come
Dangerous black towering rocks
Jut out from the shore
As the darken clouds reflect
The golden sun along even more
The mighty waves touched
Shore, with the symphony of sound
Waves then come courting...

SisTowards the moonlight, he glances out the window.
Never wanted this, but, if the pain goes away...it works.
He pulled the slightly rusted, yet glinting, object from its obscure hiding place.
The limb is ready.
It's now...or pain forever.
A scarlet recipe.
Gravity calls sweetly to the dark liquid, it glides...

Falling Leaves
A trellis of leaves flutters so naturally,
reams hanging free… timeless in a swirl
on the curving breasts of night. And they dance,
prance without restraint
onto altitudes of orbital light,
glistening through their
russet-gold flesh…
Somehow, these leaflets enter into my
dazzled world as if to murmur:
“We are here,...

WinterIcy crysals floating down;
So innocent, so pure.
Covering the cold barren ground
With a layer of frozen elegance
And false comfort.
Concealing the lifelessness,
Dusting the comatose trees
With an illusion of vitality.
Branches jut out at the sky,
Clawing, struggling
For that last bit of warmth.
Innocent little flakes descend,
Enveloping the sickly talons
Under the...
