His Features
His fingers are so long and delicate, almost effeminate.
His eyes are so brown, almost a bronze garnet when sunlit.
His face is so perfect, I want to forever kiss it.

Tale of Two Features
A certain feature
on a creature
dooms it to extinction
Exact same thing
in writing ~
a mark of fine distinction

Fears of An End
The taut rope is tightening,
Fears of an end heightening;
No hope of it loosening:
The craziest reasoning…
Yes, helping hands slackening,
A quite bright day darkening;
Now, a sight quite sickening,
The vigorous weakening,
Tough men turn the defenseless,
As tough women the helpless…
On could pick out the listless,
At that moment quite useless!
Only the crown free from scratch,
High fever never

Fabulous Features
Flakes sparkling 'round the lamppost's glow
Floating softly on a windless night
First snow watcher's- peep through the window
Fading footprints white on white
From midnight's stroller's- 'neath the light

Botox Brigade
BOTOX BRIGADE
Oh so numb, I can’t stop myself drooling,
Can’t feel my brows, touch them, one is drooping,
My lips I feel are massively huge and swollen,
I should have realized that this was a bad omen.
My cheeks are sore, injected frequently,
Obsessed by the media talk increasingly,
I dare not put lipstick on, for I’ll look like a

Fright Features

Fright Features
1) Fright Night
Assured steps lead my costumed son,
dwells California night slight calm,
tugs tight-fitted guise sparse undone,
assured steps lead my costumed son,
plus kid brother midst stargazed fun,
his hand held in brother's cool palm,
assured steps lead my costumed son.
An Alameda porch shines bright,
as bold thumb press a doorbell ring,
a squire smiles

Features of the Sun
The sun becomes the moon at night
With fabulous luck luster delight and
The crickets sings chorus
Little somethings nesting in trees
In holes in the ground
The silver moon declines and the
Sun begins to peak above its horizon
With birds in harmony as the day
Breathes its first breath
Then the sullen quiet of the night
Assumes the form of floral

Her Bouquet of Features
Long blonde hair brushes her soft shoulders -- yellow roses
Rich ruby lips parted in a sensual smile -- red roses
Dazzling white teeth gleaming so bright -- white roses
Lavender eye shadow, hint of excitement -- purple roses
Her bouquet of features, flowers' explosion of colors
~ No lover would say that hers

Beautiful Features
Eyes seen as pools of honey;
Sticky, sweet, and somber they aren’t.
Their tears fall like melted caramel down to her chin.
Blink too fast and you’ll miss their light.
A smile so inviting, you would think it was trying to give you a hug.
Lips so flushed, soft, and, plumped; calling my name.
The sound such a whisper, yet

Creature Features
THE MEERKAT
Meerkats are delightful beasts,
Arousing warm affection
They stand in groups discrete
Looking in the same direction
COW
How now brown cow
A bestowal to the world art thou
Miracle of God's construction
Four stomachs in mass production
THE PIG
Our blessings upon you abound
In our hearts you did awaken
A sense of gratitude profound
For bringing home the bacon

There is

Features Redeeming and Streaming
Features Redeeming and Streaming
May forget which features were redeeming;
Great qualities that in should be streaming;
All in full sight;
Okay and right,
And did appear in thoughts while dreaming.

Features of You
A lion is braver than you are
But you leave scars that scares more
All animals have their own features
But you got them all
I am afraid to face you
To look into your eyes
Because your eyes deceited many
And mended no broken heart
Should I fear you,should I face you
The ball is in my court
You turned
