Digging Doggy Dreams
A dog with a bone, quite immense, Tried burying it, tense and intense. He dug with his paws, Ignoring all laws, Then slept in the hole, no defense. ©bfa031825 ...

Digging for Daylight
This utter silence is stone cold There's no gaze upon the sinner This hell has got a wicked hold And it feels just like a winter When I fought the darkest demons I just fought them empty-handed I pushed through all doubt and reason And I nearly couldn't bear it Why would you still demand of me To bend my shattered knee again Without attending...

Digging Graves Circa 1955
No mechanical diggers digging Standard oblong shaped holes The only effort needed being To manipulate the controls. We dug our graves by hand And the sweat of our brow A craft that seems outdated And no longer any use now. Each grave was dug to An Individual coffin’s shape With an allowance made for The handles and the rope No deviation of the sides by Even the...

Digging For Dandelions
Recalled sounds take you back to an old land to a home you no longer need. Like the soft snuffle of hedgehogs on the lawn on a summer evening. Here there are larger less harmless spiny beasts, here there are robins that are not robins. Differences, semantics, and misidentification small stuff, but with larger significance embedded. Many places here derive from Native American...

Premium Member Digging a Hole
It was a rite for a boy back then, a stirring that welled up when the weather turned cool and the ground had been loosened with a little rain. Then, usually on an autumn day, a spade would call for a foot to begin the annual ritual of digging a hole. Something primal let go on the first push of the...

Digging
I've dug my words beneath Your skin & found layer after layer of why your eyes Often drift over a sea of thought. It's quite beautiful there, Your own private getaway Where you can dig your toes In the sand and sit in peace. You've learned to let go & Not look back. I've dug and found at your feet The taste of true expectation. I've placed...
