HOT WAX ABSTRACT
encaustic-
ironing trick
The alpha canine stood under the tree
Such doggy wisdom does not come for free
“If you bury your bone
please remember the zone
Now form an orderly queue while I pee”
Next to a tree where four lines could be
Canines haven’t even thought of three
You think they'll form two
That they'd never do
‘One and dumb’ ~ the only line we'll see

Come on guys I really need to go.
My inside are about to blow,
This line is way too long,
No time to sing a song.
I am filled with messy cargo.
Posh giraffes like to take a lengthy sip
Outstanding manners we will not let slip
We like afternoon tea
From a cup - hear our plea
Give us a trough if you want a good tip
They booked the restaurant two for tea.
The giraffes turned up promptly at three.
They were way too tall you know.
The roof was too low and so,
They used the window to gain entry.
The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I thought I saw a puddy tat
How did I ever imagine that?
Just look at our faces.
It seems we swapped places.
He is where he belongs that bad cat.
Moon,
Full moon,
Full moon, monthly.
Moon, woman,
Full moon, woman,
Full moon, woman, monthly.
Moon,
woman,
Full moon, full woman.
Round moon,
Round woman.
moon in woman,
woman in bed.
Eyeless moon laying in bed,
bright,
so bright,
unmoving,
as her fingers say goodbye.

Holding the world in my hands
Upon
My passion bed
I dream
To sleep
Until i lust
Then and only then
Let me show you the world
Through my eye's
Let there be light
Let me right the world's wrongs
Let all who dwell upon her belong
If only for the longest day
It takes a hand to wrap around
A poem inspired by this picture
I love you to the moon and back
Stuck in lover's purgatory
A picture of a thousand kisses
Kept inside thy wallet
Or on a mantle piece
In broken frame
Underneath a waxing moon
Where werewolves howl
And the tides come in and out
That star crossed lover's never notice
Because they are so engrossed
Caught up in the rapture
Of the here and now
Front and centre of the picture

Picture Prompt Poetry Contest
your brilliance is
indestructible-
your resilience
impenetrable-
faith brings unyielding
courage-
stay radiant...

immersed in bondage she's
masqueraded by fear-
absorbed in blindness she's
wrapped up in dismay-
no light to reveal her insight,
but obscurity to feed her insecurity,
hopeless...
she awaits for someone to unveil her.
