Glasses, goggles, shields spare us
From the dangers that would snare us.
So the Savior’s love will bear us,
Carry, shelter and prepare us.
Nothing in the world should scare us,
Nothing in the world impair us;
For the Lord above compares us
To his precious eyes, and dares us
Live with joy, for he declares us
His alone, of gems the rarest.
squirrel sees danger
barks and twitches tail from tree
cat peeks from hosta
Ocean wake
Longing for a rest
Decides time for a break
Reaching land, sounding a thunderous shake
Delivering crimson colors, courtesy of a spring friendly pest
Ocean wake
Hiding deadly evils, created with mother nature's stake
Cleaning up the murderous dining hour debatable test
Decides time for a break
Pondering action of a perceived, underwatering menacing fake
Presenting bridging evidence, hoping the harboring fugitive will confess
Ocean wake
Protecting situation, it did make
Creating a bloody mess
Decides time for a break
Remember when flowing in a timid lake
Where rough behavior is less
Ocean wake
Decides time for a break
The void is so deep
Mountain touches sky earth quakes
Ground trembles avoid
The whole area of Britan, Is facing the grim prospect of burn'em down burnham getting
Reigns of power.!!! Danger i repeat do not
Land there Will Robinson.' Inform Dr Smith
And the jupiter two flight deck crew, he will grind the bones of any system to the very dust.' We better head
To Andromeda, before its too fate.' Or too
Late??? Danger!!! Danger, danger .!
And destruction.)
The danger zone gets broader
Within four walls I hide
Got window holes in order
From where I look outside
After the sun goes down
And green turns indigo
There’s nothing to be found
I haven’t seen before
But I can sense the air
It never smells the same
Since you’re no longer there
The air can’t call my name
Connection drops, then fits
To drop again too soon
The birdies treat the trees
With melodies of June..
Dabs of pink monstrosities
stained her torn buttlebees
while bitter tabblecurs
stabbed her bare knees.
She lay upon the forest floor
as death teased her sad head
and numbing poison
paralyzed her blackening limbs.
'Twill be this evening
'fore she's found
by a skilled nursemaid
whom drags her to tothermeld.
Days shall pass with torment
while the lass heals with
dallies of sonderlils
laced with summerlice.
She will lose one leg
yet she will rise with gratitude
and kiss the grundlesky morn.
What lurks in the shadows?
Creepy predators waiting for their unsuspecting prey.
Best to lock our doors.
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
They wait for us in the dark,
lurking in the light of the moon.
We tremble when we're cornered,
no hope to escape any time soon.

Concealing a dagger's not legit
even if not intending to use it

one distraction at tonight’s rodeo was all it took
for him to lose his balance, concentration and one leg
leeches snacked on my back
get them off the other swimmers screamed
I loved watching their overreactions
not realizing my life was being drained
There are sentences that are inaudible
And words that are passively silent
Oh! Words, verbs, innuendoes and pirouettes
We instantly ask incredulous questions.
Their gestures sometimes are understandable
Clever foxes hide behind vices
We comprehend very well why racists
Are intermittently invisible.
Oh! Silence that is when words do not exist
We see rats robbing the store at daylight and the cats
Patiently and intelligently examine the list
Of the remaining victims peacefully and wisely.
Words are often deadly dangerous
Daring the weapons of inequality around the hellish fire
Which is about to consume the desperate city
Where the words are silent and strangled.

Back from failed hunt she
sees young cat at rest
in nest with eaglets.
First lethal fears rouse
cat's instinct to jump ~
she learns eagles fly.
Once I found
A danger zone
Willingly entered
Just me, alone
The tape it fluttered
Red and white
Read danger danger
A perfect sight
I needed this,
This place I found
With moss and glass
On broken ground
Trails left
I followed on
Amongst the needles
Stepped upon
I had to be there
The place I found
As I was broken
On broken ground
Something stirred
Within my bones
And there it started
My danger zone
