shell scattered sandy shoreline  ~
squally sea subsides

soft keystrokes on a typewriter
make the ink bleed and mark the page
steel-grey and ocean-spray were the colour of my lover's eyes
i remember looking into them and seeing our future together
i held her hand and put it up to my beating heart
i promised to never leave...

Sunlight glistens off the tumbling waves
Two children laughing and enjoying the day
Collecting shells, saltwater spray
Worries are forgotten 
Sands through the palm of my hand
Ebbing away the worries and pain
I look to the sky and pray for a better life
And know in my heart someone is...

One DIRTY BIRD COP and (our) cities burn... again
now the far lefty loons are flapping about wanting to defund 
and even ELIMINATE police forces all together,
while stripping 2nd amendment RIGHTS 
of citizens to defend themselves-
So they want to disarm citizens 
and leave them without a...

White crested waves wildly dancing 
Release cool ocean spray, refreshing

Flaws

The bugspray was very reliant.
It covered the ants all compliant.
   They nested all day
   then came out to play.
Mutations had turned them to giants.

Flawless

It turns out the spray was not lethal.
The ants drank it all and were gleeful.
   They...

Sea Spray (getting my salt on again)

Shake the cobwebs from my mind
hidden places elusive
hard even for me  to find 

shedding layers, strings unwind
 
Grow me a red beard
shave my head, shipboard doo
thinking clearly, feeling weird

situations often worse than feared
 
Making up recipes for camel...

Insecticide spray

Death is coming 
can you hear the planes? 
Spraying their poisonous package 
Sprinkling down like rain 

deaf to  violence 
blind to famine 
The government convicts and kills 
with without remorse to feel 

death than silence 
confined  & dilapidated 
United states of terror...

Petrified pottery ponders plots. Ploys play putting purring. And a frantically fraternising pickle arch can glow on many a skyline at dusk. In many hues. Many dusks many arches many hues and many hues mean many hundreds and many hundreds mean invite to investment of...

(This is a fictional poem)

My cousin spits lots of saliva when he talks.
If you're near him, you'll slip on the floor when you walk.
If he's standing on dirt, he turns it to mud.
If he talks too long, he causes a flood.
People are getting tired of...

 Salt Spray

drops of tiny clear but bitter salt 
appear the result of my insult 
sprinkle spraying down from your twin suns 
this painful evening it runs and runs 

it runs away from the dying light 
it’s affecting your red tearful sight 
flowing down your...

A person who's slathered in spray
To keep flying insects at bay
     May still be surprised
     If one bug, though despised,
Bites or stings after finding a way.

For although they're put off by the smell
Which, when tested, appears to...

They say there is no cure for the common cold or the flu. How do they know? I have just gotten over lying in bed for five days with the flu! I have been a nurse for 24 years and I have a new treatment...

A vanilla spray
Lovely scent but some afraid
Milly is afraid


We spray it on her
She runs away screaming
It is quite funny...
