Premium Member A Slippery Day
Winter descended upon the prairie plain
Pelting the ground with freezing rain
Nipping, biting this cold morning air
Thin layers of ice coated everywhere

You get out on the road but don't step on the brake
That would be your biggest mistake
For it would make you slide and spin
This would...

Premium Member A Slippery Shadow
A saffron sun sinks into
a sea of aquamarine.
And chartreuse shadows slip-slide
between frothy waves of white.

Night's ebony fingers dip
into the coral waters.
And Sol paints shades of crimson
upon pale lavender clouds.

Tangerine moonbeams gather
like fairies in the darkness.
And silhouettes trap color,
storing each pigment in black.

A watermelon sunset
marks the...

Premium Member Slippery Sloppery
A slippery sloppery slipping snail
Slithered slimed and slid on the floor
Feeling hurried harried hungry and helpless
As starlings screeched spiraled and saw
That slippery sloppery slipping snail
Who slithered slimed and slid on the floor
A fluttering of feathers fell frighteningly fast
Meant that slippery sloppery slipping snail
Who slithered slimed...

Slippery Sam the Serpent
Slippery Sam the serpent sang songs.
About sexy slitherers in thongs.
The tunes were quite crass.
Cause thongs up their ... .
Let's face it, that just never belongs.

My apologies for being smutty. I think my mind is rotting....

Slippery When Wet
SLIPPERY WHEN WET

Like The Bermuda Triangle trips, with disappearing blips, 
my heart stops beating, is fleeting, or else is gone.
No Black Hole deeper, steeper, my heart is not a keeper,
of the light sucked in by stellar wind, and played the pawn.
A Double Slit Experiment, arranged...

An indigent man from Calcutta
Would bathe once a week in some butter
A slippery mistake
He walked over a grate
And forever was lost down the gutter...

Premium Member Slippery Wet Fish
There MUST be a reason for life to exist
To explain why we're thrilled by a passionate kiss
From our opposite sex
Or one from our ex
Or even one from a slippery wet fish...

Slippery Hope
Coz we're like two writers afraid of papers
Two singers with stage scares
Or maybe I am the mouth of the dog
If you're my tail
Around and round
I chase you to ground
And perhaps you're Shakespeare nervous of criticisms
And Poseidon's heir
With fear to sail
If love's enough and everything
Why can't...

Blasted Bones Slippery Souls
horny toad
thorny road
download music
for lively bones

nobody knows
break glass with plastic stone
open toe broken phone
day old newborn soul

crusty milk bowls
itty-bitty silk flows
dabble with graffiti
on the city down low
grime gritty cold windy city
crime filthy bold chicago

exit on the intro
enter on the outro
dressed in the apparel
of a mighty...

Sliding Down That Slippery Slope
i truly love all these grandiose
simpering individuals
who make up the media
i truly feel like they understand
the needs of the people
whilst running their mouths for an 
occupation
too much money moving about
the dead have become awakend
through the times of limp
minds
soggy sheet bag individuals
who do not deserve the...

Premium Member Snowflakes
Snowflakes float
Whimsically on the wind
	Drift
		Soar
			Fall  
	Gentle merging of 
		Terrestrial elements 
Seeking 
	Cosmic order of
		Patterned perfection
Children frolic with Frosty 
	Making snowmen and 
		Snow angels
Snowflakes melt
	Swept aside by
Busy wipers on
	Sliding cars on
		Slippery roads
With dizzy drivers
	Seeking stars and
		Sparkling moonbeams
On lonely roads
	In lonely lives
		Where snowflakes fall...

The Stepping Stones
The bridge lay broken across the brook
perplexed, the traveler, long he stood
look at it as a stumbling block
the minute hand ticking in the clock
to find a way out of the tangle
decide to make a short ramble
to find whether he can step on stones
should be near...
