Premium Member Dark Coat-Tails
Naked as the day of my birth, I lay upon the floor
coverless and chill, eyes fluttering, closed, yet aware... 
inwardly I stare, counting chest rises, in despair.
My fear of onward life is more than I can ignore.
Outside, a fluttering of wings seeking to explore,
the haunting...

Cup Of Worry

Go now
Borrow my buggy
Go by moon or fog
For no crow or rook pry
Go upon your own

Bury my boojum cup
No burrow nor form
No rock nor bog 
Vow young boy
Bury my worry

Camp Fire Tails
Gathering of wood all day i go

My mind filled with memories of the past, excitment grows

So many nights around the fire

Laughing, singing, stories abound

Heat of an open fire makes the evening chill go away

The moving reflection of light against the trees looks scary at times

You...

Tiger Tails
We are intertwined and insane and I don't even mind
Running you down is bliss, then we pause with a hiss
You excite me as I gain on you, we are two of a kind
Fire in your eyes makes me roar as I close, then miss

You run...

Premium Member Mouse-Tails and Fairy Tales
Moses and his sweet Molly Mouse 
have a puzzling dilemma.
They have used all the names they know
from Marvalee to Maryemma.

They have followed all mouse name rules.
Each must begin with letter em.
After their hundreds of babies,
they have no more new names for them.

They can’t use Micky...

A Tale of Tails
We are primates, one and all
And our heritage is not from the fall.
The primate group is where we’re from
And no matter how far we’ve come
We owe our past through ties of time
And that’s the purpose of this rhyme.

We are a great ape, just like the...

Tale of Tails
If you find a tail with a dog attached,
Say, "Hi!" and pat his head.
But if to the tail a Rottweiler’s latched,
Better nothing's said!

No Fairy Tails
I'm thankful for all the broken pieces,
 Without them I would have not met you,
Baby look at me, I have fallen and felt like I was flying, now I'm crashing hard.
(Has ya do)
I have wished for a happy ever after, but we know it will...

Premium Member Snail Trails and Rat Tails
My transportive 
awesome Muse
speaks of a hiking trail
for an aging snail.

My communicative
wondrous music
is dancing choreography
for an ageless bee
coming.


I ask if I might speak
with the Editor in Chief
of my town's daily GoodNews Bulletin...

No.
I do not have an appointment...

Yes.
It is regarding GoodNews
for his local variety show
he hopes...

Wooden voodoo crux
One hex on me
Burn deep beyond known
Even down, even up

Occurrence number, frequency
Of moon voodoo hex
Four gone beyond one
You never knew
