which way did you flick it
Golf Cranks tried to see where his ball went on the course
The bird on his head was looking another way, his tweet hoarse
Which way did you flick it? His golf partners asked Cranks.
If I knew that it would be easier he said, not knowing their pranks.
They had given him a trick ball for his birthday,

Flick of Light
A flick of light within my soul
becomes a beacon for my life
wherein I join with You in Christ
free from normal life of strife.
Today breaks boldly clear and bright
A bastion holds me safe from sin
and fills my heart with calming Voice
to sooth and hold me close within.
How grateful I become for You
who teaches that Your love

Flick
a deep chill delving
straight to bone
fragmented shadows become
full figures -
long and lithe,
strange and bulbous,
ever-morphing
and haunting the night
flick a light to be rid of
these monsters

Flick Prophetic Finger
FLICK PROPHETIC FINGER
Knocking hard on a massive ancient gate,
Step out of a gaunt, granite building,
Leave behind its austere contents,
With wood-panelled box-seats,
Pinching sardine-tight orthodoxy's rumps,
Say farewell to enforced isolation,
Corralled within a pulpit-facing pew,
Flick prophetic finger
At sanctimonious conformity,
As I cross the widening threshold
Into a welcome world of
Confusing discovery.
Give place in me to an

Flick It Away
Thoughts that arise, oft hold us in surprise
Seeming to be of foreign origin
Flicked away before ego does apprise
If we meddle not, all thoughts are virgin
We look and release, flowing like the breeze
Resting narrow thought construct perception
Dweller of the void, living life in ease
Unaffected by the world external
Blissful presence, with nothing to appease
Choosing thus, the

Flick the Switch
flick that switch in my brain
put on my best smile
jump up
show enthusiasm
arms wide open
projecting love and harmony
turn on my high energy
boost the sparkle feature
launch my dreams
attracting upbeat people
live today with a sense of passion
dial it up a notch
giving voice to that bubbly
cheerleader in my head
Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~STAY TRUE~ 2023

With a Quick Flick
I read a poem and will save,
'cause of feelings it gave;
where there is emotion within the words,
that flutter and fly off the page like birds.
I do love those tear-jerking writes,
and those beautiful sweet nature delights;
a wild thriller, unrestrained and intense,

Nervana - In a Flick of An Instant
(Warning...it has a sexual theme to it. You have been warned, innocent readers! Expect the unexpected in this one)
You have the nerve
To give me nervana like I deserve
Nothing's wrong with me
Maintain my lustful heart patiently
I hate my life
I glance at my knife
As it slips out my hands
Like two departing lands
Learned to burn
I Sneezed because

Fox Flick
'Fox Flick' from the 1960 Slang Words
Here she goes gimme some skin
with friends in the Friggin ,
She is the flower child
who is always Gassed.
She loves the Hair -Musical
later becomes the radical,
She was the crazy Raddie
who was the sick Puppy.
She loves her real soul
which is the her only rule,
she never goes as the Rattled

Flick Through
There are books that nobody ever reads,
lines expanded with stories that never get to catch,
eyes stalking cyberspace,
inside there is SOcial media, SOOcial media, SOOOcial media,
like a 3-ring circus they join by watching themselves,
as though egotism could have value in a selfie,
as though Spam could impart knowledge to untaught minds.
From time to time I read some
hardbacks
