WTC Postman Pat
Another hallowed arrow from his quivers One of cricket’s greatest shiver givers Coursing down your spine like rivers Fine line..never dithers as slivers Of adversaries hopes on the ropes..withers Tipples tickle our livers The latest tropes of how Somehow…anyhow won’t kowtow Postman Pat delivers Matinee idol looks tease Record books hooks please Finds batters crannies & Nooks with such ease Impeccable length…metronomic Chin music chagrin Such strength..astronomic Gift...

Premium Member Broken Nails
These broken nails Not pretty to look at, My triumphs, my fails Mean more than that Been scratching away Digging for some end, By night, by day … ‘Til they begin to bend Once polished to a shine … Is perfectly cracked, With pulled hair of mine And my nerves wracked All glitter, all gold … Neither one can stay, But, broken nails, I'm told Says something anyway. ...

I'm in line at a store, and I'm bored, Typing on my phone, restless and alone. I’ve got light-blue nails, like the sky or your eyes. I like them, it’s my favorite color - I don’t know why. I’m buying flavors for my coffee, nutmeg and pumpkin spice. I like having coffee in the morning, when it’s cold, they’ll taste...

Petty Thief and Smart Excuse
The story could not become stale: Farouk had pilfered from a mail; Also, in some shop picked a pail And, yet, another a huge bale... When things began to read "Jail" Farouk had already turned tail And for waiting ears had his tale: That he had come to some friends hail, One of them male and the other female. Then, a Ben chose to...

A Paid Carpenter Will Work
A carpenter for a clean job poised And for a new ceiling I rejoiced. Like soldiers' flag he did ceiling hoist, His eyes of full true confidence moist... A carpenter who knows a good joist upon him you can't a bad one foist, From afar would pick its sad fake smell, Long before his hammer hits the nail. The poised I had his...

Finger
Finger, like so many, aims at me and then at something else. Finger is a small yet significant creature. Finger's addressing me by pointing, pointing to me, saying, saying without speaking. Finger sports a nail that may hold the significance of that creature, that digit: brown-ended with soil or brightened with soap on a bright-cleaning brush. One or the other (as they say). Finger will...
