Nursery Exploding With Happy Faces

Happy faces were exploding all over the room.
The new baby was here, we were over the moon.
What kind of nursery is this? Grandpa asked in surprise.
Exploding happy faces were happening on the rise.

Happy faces from the seventies. Happy faces from today.
They kept coming and exploding from every kind of way.
Exploding in celebration, sharing with us

Acrostic - Brenda Lee Kime

Brightens - your day, seeing her smile.
Rendering - her day with a bit of style
Everything - was to make you think
Never - would she let you wink
Dear - hearted woman, she'd love to drink
Aha - then she would cause a big stink.

Loving - Warm, Gentle, and Kind.
Everything - she'd say made

Exploding Star

exploding star
her center has imploded
cosmic fireworks

Before Seeing the Exploding Star

night after fall
seduction by darkness
song hidden in silence
measures lying
between contours
shadow fields
stillness
the color of dreams
stillness
fields shadow
contours between
lying measures
silence in hidden song
darkness by seduction
fall after night

Dali Paints Exploding Head

Six years after the atomic bomb
Plunked down in Hiroshima 
Tearing people into pieces
Dali was still losing sleep over it

He begins to collect strips and struts
Developing a surreal idea of what he is about
Collects arrowheads, wire, bits of bone.
Defers from his usual style

Puts together Raphaelesque Head Exploding
A tiny canvas with a large message
Showing his disdain for

Squirrel With Your Cheeks Exploding

Squirrel with your cheeks exploding
What kind of nut is in your mouth?
Pumpkins from a truck unloading.
Did they come from the north or south?

Leaves are swirling all around us
Squirrel with your cheeks exploding
Winter has completely found us
Mushroom fairies swiftly coding

Stay away for toads are toading
In black cauldrons stirred by witches
Squirrel with your cheeks exploding
Deer carcasses found

Whispered Passions Exploding

The worn path was so perfect, the moment just right
  Autumn's foliage tin forest's shy light
The gay colors, bright patterns of orange, yellow, red
  Whispered passions exploding, fireworks overhead

Of Exploding Poetic Purpose

Of Exploding Poetic Purpose

Capped festering words exploded—
spilling out over my mind—screaming  
and streaming thru the forest of memory;

They say that silence is golden
but the voice of the inked word
is priceless—beyond assessment.

The gift of scribing the word
is the greatest gift of purpose—
from time immemorial
it is inked—the word is God’s
gift to his healing helpers;

Exploding Thought

Prose tells the story,
Poetry explodes the thought
Leading you into

Once a Wild Child of the Exploding Sixties

Once A Wild Child Of The Exploding Sixties

We were young, waiting universe lay ahead
too foolish to see danger or feel dread.
What of Love? It was hungry and all around
no need to ask life questions too profound!

Coming from famine, love's gold was our greed
we were starved stragglers in desperate need.
When we gambled and lost, love turned

Exploding and Unloading

Exploding and Unloading

Ergonomics and energy are exploding,
And are all situated for an unloading;
Will occur,
Can endure,
While iron will be eroding and corroding.

Inspired by Bill Nye Science Guy
and his book, "Undeniable."

Exploding Ring

Today I went to see our doctor
he's a quack, possibly an actor
he thought it was quite fun
examining my bum,
exploding nuclear reactor

He called for the community nurse
she said an exploding bums a curse,
doctor covered in it
was unable to sit
something he certainly didn't rehearse.

putrid smell was overpowering 
my nostrils were beginning to sting,
doctor shouts gas mask on
