Best Spots Poems

Hot zones of danger,
dark places
where dense hearts go
Hearts that are cold as ice
Roll the dice ... 
take a chance on fatal corona exploration
Go ghetto orbital
and gamble with your porcelain life
You’ve been whitely warned:
Shun the spots — 
the darkside of the Helios shadows,
where the sun don’t...

Anticipation in an eye gaze
Before the plunge between 
Lips and skin—
The vulnerable way into the heart

A rush that gushes through 
Every avenue of the frame
As a scent causes thrills that hide 
Not long enough to be secret

Hands over hands 
Soft skin wrapped in soft skin
A...

Spurting colors in a sunset sky, 
The look of absolute wonder in the eye
As the last of the sun descends,
The lingering light tickling trembling waves

Embraces in a thrashing storm,
Nighttime sharpening the senses,
An apology accentuating sincerity,
Sighs of relief parting the lips

The sound of trust on the...

Emerging in the dark, 
A pale ghost cast by the moon—
Authenticity—
With the glow of rawness and power

The song of truth so precious 
On a tongue that is pressed for
Change—submissive change—
Cradled in the prospects of devotion

The clouds covering the perfect circles
Penetrating through a lens 
That magnifies...

The muse of a dreamy gaze,
The memory of a mutual moment,
Heightened affection and excitement, 
An intake of breath for more

The expansion of the stars
In a stretch of sky above the world,
Glimmering gently—
Affecting profoundly

A tree that casts the wanting shade
That forms its body in the day
For...

The pretty cast of sorrow—
Hollow, yet comforting, 
When damasked on those lips, 
Or teased upon that fake smile

I see such sorrow inside of her
And weep inwardly,
For I love her gazes 
And hate her mazes

Paler now is the face
And love it more I must,
For the moment...

“Open wide”, said he, “wanna see what you've got
Settle down, I'm your dentist, wanna see your chops
Your mind's in the gutter”
Then he started to stutter
Began to squim as she nibbled his naughty spots

X Continues Marking Many Spots
                        by Odin Roark

Anonymous living suits many,
gypsy fever of the brain.

Seldom hiding in the shadows,
the glare of klieg-light...

List of things to do before

I fall in love again
I allow my mind to take me
Into the
A wild opened fields
where the grass is turning brown in spots
^
There’s one
 Wild flower
And
Dozens of
Scattered pebbles,
Under my feet
^
Taunted memories,
Bare trees with bend trunks
A cool breeze washes my face
No more...

A soft hand squeeze in the dark,
A confession of magnetism,
The strange gaze beyond the majorities’ fleeting sight,
The evanescence of moonbeam in an observant eye

Arms that enclose around what shrinks,
Helping the slight grow in its warmth
A quiet mouth resting on a throbbing head,
With ears ready to...

BLACK SPOTS

There are black spots in my memory of the bad things I have done,
The times when I resisted the call of God’s dear Son.
Experiences of danger, of trials or disgrace—
I wish I could forget them, from my mind there erase.
The black spots often haunt...

I have several toxic habits - I know - because I read an article on the web.
It’s a miracle I’m not an axe murderer, based on what the experts said.

I use “should” biased judgements - when things go amiss.
I think about the future, when settling...

This was inspired by Georgette Johnson’s poem “Savouring Another Day”
***

One cold day whilst I was out in the snow 
I went into a cafe for a Joe
I slipped across floor 
And got an encore
Me and my Joe were the stars of the show.

The cup of...

Dot Spotted
by Michael R. Burch

There once was a leopardess, Dot,
who indignantly answered: "I’ll not!
The gents are impressed
with the way that I’m dressed.
I wouldn’t change even one spot!"



Clyde Lied!

There once was a mockingbird, Clyde,
who bragged of...

A Limerick response to Gershon’s “Hair Apparent“

Hair Apparent 

The loveliest girl in the world's named Rose
From aquiline nose down to graceful toes -- 
   Yet poor Rose can't get a date
   Is she abandoned by fate? -- 
Those giant...
