I peer down quantum wishing-wells, waves entangle

Florida Ziziphus (For the Ode To the Endangered Contest Sponsored By: Amy Green)
Spiny stemmed buckthorn, sunlight shimmers tiny shiny leaves.
Even though in pastures you are mowed down like worthless sheaves.
Ziziphus celata, your family for thee still grieves.
Future exposure: progress, genes raped; developments’ deeds.

Abcedarian To Start My Engines
astronomical anatomical atoms
buying brilliant blubbery bimbo blobs
collecting claustrophobic colorized clandescently clams
depicting deplorable dependable depraved dendrites
enticing and enlisting energetic enthusiastic enigmas
finally fueling fussy frisky flatulence, forming fleece finders
giving gluttonous glorious gargoyles grinning grace
holding heavy-handed hospital heathens

Drought Ends
Darkness loomed as they looked up on high
Lightning zig zagging across the leaden sky,
Giving cameo snaps of a mountain frieze.
People falling onto their bended knees.
Thunder,like mighty cymbals on their ears,
That sonic boom fills them with...

Horrific Highway
HORRIFIC HIGHWAY
Driving at the speed allowed
On Highway N17, traffic ploughing,
Zig zagging, racing, and over taking
Accidents in the making,
Motor bikes screaming past,
Driving fanatically fast,
Showing off thinking it’s a blast,
A terrifying scene,
Spades, The queen
Of death on the...

I stared at the glowing screen,
Mouth gaping,
Wondering if I was understanding your words correctly.

Feels familiar
Lines of silver
Streaking
from on high.
great, the divide
a lover's sigh.
Linen wrappings
lace used for Christmas
trappings
tender touches
chilly ripples, barely

O' the anticipated additions
Thoughts glued

Showing no fear or shame
