Coaxing Hazard Elfchen
Vivacious
starlit eyes
a coaxing hazard;
Millions have been lost
choking.

Akin Twin Invisible Presence Coaxing Paranormal
Akin twin invisible presence coaxing...paranormal
Action across ouija board
herald Faustian bargain
as fingers of left hand appear to move
planchette of their own accord...
inexplicably, silently, and verily
along a barely traceable minuscule chord
dance, with some spatial force
from outer limits, perhaps dimension unexplored
twilight zone, (where spirit of Rod Serling dwells)
horizontally, linearly, and peculiarly unmoored
hashtagging, kickstarting, and zigzagging
while just barely hoovering

Coaxing a Frog To Grant a Wish
The child was wiser than Mother Goose they say
She understood kissing frogs was not the only way
She gave him a pat and a tiny hug, a compliment too
And he granted her a wish as only a frog can do.
The key was to listen to the voices in her brilliant head.
Be sure to woo him, and

Sooth Songs and Grooves
Where do we began
Since this is beginning
How does it end
To show it's meaning
What to write
To convey my frustration
I like the chorus
But it sounds like
a beginning
Put sum ooh ahs in
A harmonic melody
Some strings and
Bassy grooves
Let the music beg
Me to sing
First verse is missing
Something it lacks
Something
Maybe it needs me
Sweet talking people
to see if there care
The oohs and

Coaxing Ambivalent Dreams
Butterfly feelings gently loosened
Floating amongst easy thoughts
Coaxing ambivalent dreams
A joyously relaxing nap
Following too much pumpkin pie

Coaxing the Morning
"For all the writers, brothers, sisters ... on our Only Ecosystem, Earth"
I
Some mornings are teenagers, or worse -
Some mornings might combine junior and senior citizens
Who know it all, or they have seen it all -
How do we begin? Philosophically ...

Okay, that's a big, overused word -
I meant, let us begin spiritually:
Let us coax each morning,

Coaxing the Sun
You need to have a sunny day
For plans that you have made.
You want the kind of burning sun
That makes you seek the shade.
Yet Nature won't cooperate;
The sky's a sea of cloud.
There's nothing you can do
And moping's simply not allowed.
You keep your eyes trained heavenward
And send a silent missive.
Apollo may take notice
But he shrugs you off,

Coaxing a Write
In the quietude of morning, I write
rise early, pen in hand - a rite
though words sometimes stick and lodge there
in a brain cell - so stubborn!
Scribble some nonsense words
jumpstart free flowing
thoughts to appear
on paper
very
soon.
