Tap and Tinkle
The reason the radicals are slapping labels on you.
Is because you're strong and refuse to be silent.
One thing they love is a dog that rolls over.
One thing they fear is a fighter who throws down.
Never give in to the bullhorn -cancel crowd.
Never be silenced because silence is death.
For you and our faith-fight to the...

Tap Dancing On the Moon
Joyfully, I went
Tap dancing on the moon,
Stirring up moon dust,
To scatter in your dreams,
To make you smile and snuggle
Way down in the soft, satin, pocket
Of my love...
Oh Yes!
Cynthia...

Tip Tap of Spirit Dog
Lucky left on Thursday
a stroke
Friday no tip tap in hallway
Saturday no tip tap in hallway
Sunday morning, we woke to tip tap in hallway
"Did you hear that?"
Jumped out of bed.
New dog had come into the doggy door.
Not Lucky, but another black dog,
needing a home.
It's too soon, my husband said.
He took her to the vet for her...

Sweet symphony song...

Pink Flamingo
Pink hue flamingo it must be due to all
the carotenoid pigments feasted on
algae and crustaceans
An elongated neck spirals
and filters such sensations
Sharing color is Okinawa salmon sushi,
bolster lobster and shrimp scrimp
Graceful qualifiers primp poised tropical dwellers
balancing effortlessly on one outstretched leg,
A ballerina’s pirouette in fuchsia tutus’
Statuesque stillness in shallow water
Rosette feathers flair flamboyance
Passionate...

I Cooked the Book That Would Not Tap
I Cooked the Book that Would Not Tap
A Doomsday, a nightmare gone wrong,
My hand shot with pain and didn’t stop,
Bandages hid the wound I wove for kong,
The silence echoed round the wheel fop.
I screamed with tears which said the news,
When sirenes had been screened for writ,
Draughts unveiled the blood for reviews,
That cared enough to...

A Tap-Dancer
I saw a tap-dancer with
Squirming sheaf of vigor
Toes tapping as if dancing.
Is he hoping for a rendezvous?
His Dachshund-clan romance?
Prancing around like ponies
With gentle nose, silent eyes
With sweet licks and nuzzles.
Care free clan, if they like it
It can never be of anyone else.
If they take it anything from anywhere
It’s theirs and of nobody else’s.
The four legged...

Woodpecker Tap-Tapping
There was a woodpecker whacking,
Continuous sound nerve-racking.
Distressed in the mind,
Making my teeth grind,
Tap-tapping will send me packing.
Standing outside, I clapped my hands,
Sending him off to no-man's land.
But no, he just sat,
And started to tap.
His tapping, how will I withstand?
For Poet Destroyer's contest, 'Silly (Funny)'...

Tap, Tap, Tap
'twas a dark and rainy night as she hurried home after missing the last tram.
She never gave a thought for the mysterious man in the shadows as she passed by.
In a heavy raincoat, his hat pulled down, masking his eyes, he began to follow.
All she heard was the tap, tap, tap of a walking cane...

TAP TAP (A Writer's Contemplation)
Tap, tap. I promptly turned to view.
and felt somehow it could be you.
Where have you been, I tersely cried?
... 'Here' just here' -it seemed she lied.
'I was afraid! Where did I go wrong,
that you, your twin were long time gone?
Silence. Like a slumberous dream
I held back from a silent...

Pause for some water

Then pump up the

Light Verse
Twiddle My Thumbs and Tap My Toes
Attention's gone
Doesn't seem like there's anything going on.
Sitting around
Trying to find something to fill this time I've found.
Frustrations show
I could've been more productive today, I know.
But instead
I think I'll spend the rest of the day in bed.
Who needs motivation when there's nothing else to do?
Where's the inspiration when there's nothing driving you?
I guess the lack...

Tap Dancing Freedom On the Mountain Top
taping dancing freedom
on the mountaintop
tiptoeing
the mountain top
we slipped
fell like children
of Sisyphus
shooting galleries
caught us
life’s struggle
is over
weep not child
tomorrow comes
bearing new beginnings
if you believe
in the beginning...

Tip-Tap Tip-Tap
Tip-Tap Tip-Tap
here she comes
tapping her stilettos
humming her favorite song
swaying to the music of wind
Tip-Tap Tip-Tap
there she is
whispering to a flower
giggling like a teenage girl
flicking her playful hair
Tip-Tap Tip-Tap
there she is
tap-dancing on the tin roof
laughing her heart out
exuding cheerfulness
Tip-Tap Tip-Tap
there she goes
walking the lush green carpet
humming her goodbyes
leaving a whiff of earth-scented air
Tip-Tap Tip-Tap...
