A Spectral Owl
Cloaked in a fitting grey suit and bow tie, She floats like paper kites across meadows. From a hollow in a tree, her eyes pry~ Her loud hoot startles nearby sleeping crows. The spectral owl, with her faint, surprised look, Watches as the crows flee into the dark. Then silence reigns, curbed only by a brook, And chirps of birds in the...

Premium Member The Queen Has a Navy that Floats in Her Gravy
The Queen has a navy That floats in her gravy, It’s sharp and its clear, But it’s sure tough to steer, For the rudders get stuck In that thick, grayish muck, And the lads in the stern Have a penchant to yearn For the bright shining waters All popping with otters, Yet they smile as they sail past Her Majesty’s repast, And wink as they think That...

Youth Floats On, Floats On By - - Stanhope Road
Shouts of triumph and defeat echo from the fields day in and day out. Drivers continue learning in that same cracked parking lot, living proof that history repeats itself; different shaking 16-year-olds, same bumped curbs and too-hasty turns. And Youth floats on, floats on by. The sun sets another day, and the world is casted in the most vibrant oranges and purples from the Matron’s...

Premium Member In the air floats a strange sense of panic, like a heavy mist settling over the city
In the air floats a strange sense of panic, like a heavy mist settling over the city, a silent fear and uncertainty that penetrates our bones, along with the beliefs and truths that were once solid as rocks, but now melt like ice under the light of a merciless moon. Institutions, once temples of safety, are now castles of...

Premium Member In the pocket of the evening, language floats a cosmic virus
In the pocket of the evening, language floats – a cosmic virus, Its seeds unknown, brought on the wings of silent comets. It clings to people as the light of stars to the night-time tree crowns, Whirling miniature orbits in a mute dance, under the vault that hosts wandering thoughts. Man, his bits and pixels once scattered through the...

Premium Member In the heart of the country, a veil of mystery and melancholy floats
In the heart of the country, a veil of mystery and melancholy floats, And threading along the leaf of life, these methods seem a sinister symphony. Open borders, and immigration comes like an underground current, On the paths of our land, an uncertain wave of eager forefront ends, choked by the wind. Crime gallops unrestrained through cities once secure, In...

Premium Member As music floats by
Playing my harmonica softly into the night Watch a few birds take flight The sound fills the air Some animals seem not to care Guess that is fair Can see the music as it floats by To disappear in the darkness of the sky Shimmering Glimmering Visual echoes of sound To gravity they are not bound Beautiful, I have found Like a wave flowing past I...

What Flies In My Bones and Floats Through My Soul
Sometimes, we put things to work in order to feel seen And when there's no applaud, no praises We think we are less of a being Sometimes, we crave validation We crave affirmations When there are times we hate ourselves We feel the difficult that we can't communicate at times Afraid if anyone are bound to listen Sometimes, we think...

Premium Member Fairy Floats On a Bubble
Fairy floats on a bubble, gliding along in the dream of dreams Meditating on the atmosphere’s all-powerful light streams Balmy air above and below keeps her uplifted, and moving delicately I wonder about her ancestry and whether or not she is related to me....

Most of It Floats Up From the Past
Thank God we still have folks who know how to do stuff, not talking-heads and poets who just believe in words; not any of them having even the basic skills to work a buzz saw or power drill, or clean up after their own bull-crap....
