Impetus Penury

Government wish
Poverty wane
This afternoon.

Run out of rice
I put bucket
Enough to eat.

Spring come must
Thrift amount food
Live within week.

Wish the debtor
Not come and lift
Pass usury.

Impetus

The ancient four legged poem
had been premeditatedly cut loose 
and now it haunts
the unready, frail and ailing poet.
It barks abruptly from underneath the lush hortensia bushes
shocking the blue light of an unready poet observations,
casting impetus over the faux peace,
rolling around aimlessly. 
An apple of discord, fallen
from the mischievous bosom
of a spirited muse.

Premium Member The Impetus To Bite

She strings silken snares, spanning every chasm
trying to entrap an unwary fly.
A slight vibration causes her to spasm, 
delighting in the news that lunch is nigh.

She dines in opulence; walls draped in silk,
where mummified meals hang as trophies won.
Her inner chamber's the color of milk,
but dewdrops make her web gleam in the sun.

A vicarious thrill follows each kill, 
within the theater of life and death.
Hunger supplies the impetus to bite,
and poison ensures flies breathe their last breath.

The spider holds no feelings for the fly,
and yet, for it to live, the fly must die.

"impetus"

Lost thoughts in mind
Lifeless, until found
Now words on paper
Sparked by the heart 

Love poems are born
Now, my soul is visual
Revealed only to you
Grasp, hold my feelings 

They were the impetus
To write of undying love
Now my heart's secret
Is open for you to read 

Now exposed, vulnerable
I wonder what you feel
Gone is all my hesitance
And my psyche's mystique
