Forty Winks
I am a narcoleptic,
I sleep at any time,
no doubt I’ll drop off frequently
before I end this ………………………………rhyme.

It can be quite embarrassing,
between just me and you,
in the bank the other day
I dozed off in the queue.
As if that wasn’t bad enough
I let out quite a snore,
a...

Premium Member As the Sun Winks
On the cold of an early day...
Mist hoovers atop low grass

I stand with chilled toes...
With only my head above the rooftop
 
As the sun winks rising
It bakes my face, to comfort
 
A feeling of warmth warms my bod... 
As I watch the moon fade 

I...

I have a little story to tell you ... it's absolutely true, of course, at least as far as I'm concerned, but you can take it as you wish - as a tale, a fact, or just the musings of a hack writer - no...

Premium Member Glances, Winks, Smiles

a flick of the hair    head tilt-
a little coquetish smile          a teasing question
all part of the flirting game

tickling    winking    flattery    giggling

speaking those sweet nothings

"Oh, indeed she was, young man ... I mean Greg. It IS Greg, if I recall correctly?"
     "Yes. Or you can call me True Friend if you like." I turned to him and smiled, and he returned it, though he kept...

"You see this here spot on the bench, where it's all worn away?" Clarence asked.
     "Yeah, I've noticed that a few times, and wondered why they didn't paint it again." I answered.
     "Well, that's from me and...

Premium Member Of Winks and Wings - Short Conclusion
But here's another odd item, one that gives me a very funny, almost queasy feeling, whenever I think on it long enough. Ever since that day with Clarence, whenever I go to the park pond to feed the birds, and when I finish at the...

My Elusive Huffle-Winks
Living next to great lake havenoclue 
spending all of my time just searching
all weathers, knowing one day I’ll find you,
I have smelt you, felt your nasty sting,

why are you so reclusive so mysterious 
due to you I have become the same
friends and family think I’m...

Dragons, Dragonflies and Huffle-Winks and the Girl
She crept in silence down to the swamp

And saw the dark cave where nobody goes,

This whole place shrouded in eldritch trees

Primordial feeling of preternatural bewitching,

The swamps felt alive yet was as green as the trees

Lily pads sat upon it and things below the surface were...

Dragons, Dragonflies and Huffle-winks--

a mythical monster like a giant reptile 
This fire breathing dragon spitting out fire 
Huffle-winks lizard drinks insect blinks
The swamp waters pales stinks
Doomsday, Ragnarok, end of times
Chaos or evil, symbol of fertility climbs
Associated with water and the heavens
Big wings fire breathe levels
Huffle-winks...

When God Winks
What makes us stop and stare
or wonder why we ended up somewhere

Have you ever been drawn to the opposite direction
in which you planned to go

Made an unexpected friend along the way
Maybe even extended your stay

Arent these signs we're supposed to read
Leading us where our lives...

Dragons, Dragonflies, and Huffle-Winks
A surprise move by the Nordic King
He orders his men to kill Huffle-Winks
They are big-headed junks hollering mouthfuls 
Blood they need of Princess Umberta.

'Take them into confidence' the dragons
They are so poor, shorn of fire-power
And master of Huffle-winks takes note of
The dragonflies are so busy...

Premium Member Huffle-Winks , a Knights Story
Huffle-winks came from the forest of Jom
The King sent five knights to track them all down
For they had brought terror to the kingdom
He offered his daughter and prince’s crown.

Four of the bold knights by dragons were slain
But one lone brave knight continued the quest
Through woods,...

Comfy cozy from my view
If I could I'd cuddle you
Troubadours have soft hearts too
They love their bluebirds, yes they do

Red guitars can play romance
Even though they cannot dance
They know just where to go in France 
Nothing happens ever by chance

Rose buds and vanilla base
Together perfect...
