Best Peek Poems
Symbols like a feather
is important and meaningful
for the person who receives them
A white feather
I see a sign from the angels
from your loved ones in heaven
Like the souls of ours, meet on a wonderful day
A lonely feather floats freely,
like Voyager ... a man-made object
Not all meanings are meant to be clear at once
Patiently my friend, what you seek is in your heart
It's a lesson in everything
Angels are not imagination
There is much between heaven and earth
A true soulmate, but some people will never believe
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through tomorrow
No language can express, it's all a part of a bigger plan

This contest style’s description is one I’ve never heard
I’m unfamiliar with that particular word
An internet search comes up empty
However, others seem to have poems aplenty
My eyes are getting blurry a total collapse seems imminent
Quickly penning an entry appears to be the only way out of my predicament
My freshly emerged imposter’s syndrome is now on full display
As I throw words together to prayerfully send a piece on its way
Whoops, I don’t believe the lines above were exact rhymes
I wonder if I will get disqualified this time
I see it is quintessential to utilize the word “quintessential”
Unfortunately, that stretches me to also use a word like “nonextensile”
Argh! I just realized I’m not counting my meter
I promise I’m not purposefully being a cheater
Oh well, competitions are all in good fun,
even if they drive you a bit crazy
You just have to be creative, put in the work,
and not . . . something, something lazy

NOTE: To those who will soon be joining us in Milton Creek:
Please allow our Mayor to make the announcement. Thanks!
Lots of things are going on in the town of Milton Creek
now that the posse has returned after putting under arrest
the villain guilty of murder; but who pretended to be meek.
It's a lesson to those thinkin' of movin' to the wild West.
I've been hearing rumors that are spreadin' on the street
about a bunch of new townsfolks that are comin' this way...
to Milton Creek because it's been declared the county seat.
I'm sure they're all good people, Mayor Tom will have his say.
He don't take too kindly to those who barge their way in.
There's procedure to follow when runnin' a business here.
The town council will disapprove of sharks with a dorsal fin,
so, all citizens can live in peace, without the need of fear.
I bought what was a restaurant next door to the Aces Hotel.
It folded when many got sick from eating bad Mexican food.
Now, it's part of Milt's legacy, and I promised I'd never sell.
Dinner at Aces, dessert at the bakery, coffee: fresh brewed
Mayor Tom is off on a new adventure, but he'll be back soon
to announce the names of new residents coming to the Creek.
I'm sure he'll be calling a town meeting on the first afternoon.
For now, I thought I'd offer a glimpse, just a little sneak peek.

Just a peek inside my window
there's a touch I let you be
a place with good intentions
come on in and set me free
You're the warmth upon my pillow
the mist held nearer my cheek
my moments brought in the ever after
you're the only angel that I seek
There's a candle on the mantel
burning bright so we can see
the other side of my moonlight
where your flickers dance for me

I stole a peek inside your dream, a gentle
smile upon my face as my love had found
its place. Soft and warm my eyes did lie,
on every breath and every sigh. Candles
flickered and shadows danced, the night
was ours and well romanced. Pore on pore
as bodies yearned, desire surrendered as
passion burned. The scent of Rose fills the
air, with every kiss I show I care. With my
gentle hands I cup your chin, release the
fire deep within, whisper soft I love you
so, and meld with you in binding glow.

Cat-and-mouse
Gloves held high
Can't see you
Peek-a-boo
Gloves held high
Block every punch
Can't get through
Peek-a-boo
Drop your guard
One split second
BAM POW SMASH
A knock-out beckons
It's cat-and-mouse
Move those feet
Then my jaw
~ Your fists greet

Light Verse
Wet wings hold back the morning song
clouds cover what was meant to be a perfect day
a loose boulder rolls uphill after an earthquake
mountaintops screech it's time for tea
but I'm relegated to run away
Laying low in a one-act show
bundled in tinted eyes of baby blue
opening lost love letters never sent
spilt drops of honey in shades of red
encompass somber sounds of want
Peek in through my window
past a painted pain innocence took
sharp edges smothered in waves of honor
flapping up high in a hallowed field
waiting to be folded and brought back home

Passing trees with gauzy nests
Of caterpillars hanging down
Jars a memory that rests
Within the folds of brain cell town.
My dad and all the neighbor men,
With flaming torches, did attack
Those selfsame sacs so ne’er again
Would gypsy moths be coming back.
We children gathered ‘round to gape
As fiery clumps fell from the trees,
A happening which helped to shape
A reminiscence there to seize.
The dads, the dusk, the shadows cast,
The neighborhood community
Unlocks a peek into the past
To visit with impunity.

Peek Freans Fig Roll
You make me laugh
You think that the evil humanity does
Has nothing to do with you
And your excuses
And your prayers
For salvation
Merely continue the blindness
Of your refusal
To take responsibility
For the actions of your world
You have a comfortable retreat
In the bible
And comfort in believing
In a saviour
And you refuse to see
That the saving of your neighbour
Is up to you
You make me laugh
With your bible quoted platitudes
With your simple minded
Ineptitudes
To take control of your conscience
Your fig leaf
And your Peek Freans fig roll of sweetness
Empty
And wrapped in so much easy buy
To fit your mouths desire for something sweet
You cannot connect
You are as empty as all those possessions
You place so much esteem upon
You are the worst case of human evolvement
And evolutions greatest impediment
You are slaves
Slaves to religion
And slaves to God
Sightless in your slavery
And slaves to a system
Of capitalism
You are a poor excuse
For the rationalism and rebellion
That was once
Your ancestors right
And their history
You are all
Nothing but
Slaves
Nothing more than superstitious cavemen
Trying to explain the dark
And afraid to stand up
And be counted with the stars ( as in suns )

Oh yes, I see you, the Doc let me peek
for so long you were blurred no more than a
little gray wiggly blob Daddy would say boo
to [as if you could hear him?] saying "boo".
Maybe you did hear because out you came a
bit early! Dad was there again to peek.
Sorry about the light being so bright, a
bit scary. You started boo hooing, boo,
but you were gorgeous, still, at first peek.
So, of course your first game was peek a boo!

With the glut of sounds fixed within the book of expressions
I cause the dearth in mine carve ‘pon slip for the eager to ponder
A poet compelled yet tactful with scribe as a view thru scrim

Ignorance
is a crime
caused by
putting up fences
if we'd let go
of the voices inside our heads
and eliminate fears
discussions would arise
peel the blind folds
from our eyes
share real stories
told without disguise
encouraging progress
could be made
with concerns of what we've learned
rather than what we are paid
a fulfilling life
is people based
sharing
giving
looking out for others
one human at a time
despite our differences
the truly rich way of living

Hello,
I'm here for the ad, young man
I believe it was your father I spoke to
on the phone about an hour ago
Said I was coming by to look at the car on sale
Sure, I'll wait ...
by the way, that's a lovely Christmas tree in the window
(A minute or two later)
Hi, Mr. Bartier,
I'm here for the car that I saw in the ad
You sure painted a nice picture,
truth be told, it almost sounded too good
So do you mind, if I may,
take a peek under the hood
Engine looks clean, motor sounds fine
It hums real low
(Speaking to myself ... that price is beginning to look like a steal)
This auto has a retiree feel,
do you mind if I get behind the wheel
Interior is like new,
and the gauges and gadgets all work too
And the mileage is less than the height
of a Mt. Everest view
Do a final spot check on the underbody,
no leaking fluids ... suspension seems solid
Well, Mr. Bartier,
here's what I think:
This car is as good as advertised,
the price is phenomenally low,
and your maintenance has the vehicle looking
like it just came from a new car expo
Only got one question though ...
it's about the trunk,
with the rug covering all those bullet holes
