Premium Member The Lesson a Dog Taught Me
On a stone wall, by the solitary pavement,
Annoyed and angry, with daggers drawn at everyone,
I saw my neighbor sitting dejected and depressed.
Though known him for years, of late he has changed much.

His eyes had grown so cold, and his mind, so blank.
His vision, I felt...

Peg-Leg Pete the Pirate and Dirty Deadeye Dan
Peg-Leg Pete the Pirate was a very evil man,
He used to eat his dinner from a filthy frying pan,
And when he’s finished eating he’d play “catch me if you can”
With his desperado first-mate known as Dirty Deadeye Dan.

Now Dan was quite a ladies man, but...

I Am What I Am
My head slightly bent over a table of happiness.

My feet, sod with white lilacs, dance merrily 
to a moon stroke music of twilight night.

My finger-tips childishly sip 
the sweat of quill, like red wine of Mother Earth 
that runs down the skin of my heart.

Down...

Horses
Competition day had arrived,
His muzzle twitched with anticipation
And in relation my feet tingled in a way like never before.
For the first time, we both doubted ourselves

But fear not, we must carry on
As I plaited his forelock in preparation 
I took the time to appreciate how...

Premium Member His Feathered Image
Silently, he stood on the edge of a mirrored pool 
For breakfast, he'd have to do a bit of wading
The egret's feathered image I wanted to capture
among wild cattails at this early morning hour.
He seemed to sense that I was watching him.
Stilted legs twitched, poised...

Unfinished Business
He rose
She watched
He paused
She gazed
He twitched
She sighed
He packed
She froze
He waited
She turned
He glanced
She shivered
He moved
She whispered
He paced
She sobbed
He freaked
She called
He frowned
She pleaded
He kissed
She wept
He turned
She knew
He left...

Guardian Angel
"I heard an angel speak last night and he said "write"  
Elizabeth Barrett Browning



Did those lichen covered lips really smile?
Was it simply my imagination, 
or were her eyes following me?

Her wingtips twitched slightly
and I knew it was true:
those stone ears could hear 
every note...

Sweet Misery
Tears streamed down her face as she swiftly ran in the woods, saving herself 
from “ Herself “. She continuously wept as she looked around, not finding what 
she was looking for. As she ran faster her heart ached with sorrow, for every 
beautiful image...

Premium Member Darkness Opened Wide
Little
Miss Witch nose twitched.
Bewitched a mundane stitch;
Halloween clown from head to toe
trick, treat.

She walked
Down the dark street
With sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, M&Ms
Bag full

One, two,
Three, sudden; Poof!
Black spike hat, gown, and boots
Holding a kitten as black cat
Looked out....

"Snapdragons and Dandy Lions - Part 2"


The day was cooling down 
pressing itself close into
the amythest and musk pink early eve
as the eggshell pale blue sky rolled over into 
Astor Purple to get ready for sleep.
The Ostrich Ferns rustled, 
We’d frightened the Blue Tongue, he’d...

The Magic of Christmas


The night before Christmas
When all through the house
Was silent
Even all the dead mouse
I lay there so quiet
Inside the stove
My face contorted
White as snow
The Christmas lights outside
Shining bright
On guard and not letting any one in
They may after all see the fright
I am sure...

Dripping Moon
The moon dripped like wax through 
the canopy of the pines, light and 
shadow were scattered across the
ground like playing cards.
The air was still, the scent of danger
there but difficult to locate, yet the 
nostrils still twitched in mistrust.
In knowing that this is their time,...

During a Round of Golf At Pebble Beach
On Pebble Beach's seventh green
I paused to watch an otter.
He dove, cavorted, spun around,
An acrobat on water.
Then lolling, drifting, eyeing me
He twitched brown nose and whiskers.
His thought, that moment, mirrored mine:
"He plays all day, that rascal."...

Premium Member Human Dignity Violated
With the stench of rhum and a play of control, he growls
amid the dark of the darkest evening;
then  reaches for his woman.. and  in a dash
pushes her growing belly, unrestrained.
She with a child inside a twitched fetus
drowns in haze of  murky kitchen...
