Run Around Poems

Scouting the Derp

...We need a scout.
Someone with eyes for the derp.
Someone to run the arc of this rolling whirl’d,
looking hither and thither,
with eyes that switch-back from the blind spot…

…you know the one.

I look upon your face and wonder - what secrets do you hold?
For many years you've stood in place; what stories could be told?
You show the time for all to see, you sweep your hands around

Night life

...My life, my night, is like a twilight. Stars in the sky, what a sight.
Laughter from all around, enjoying such a lovely night.

Premium MemberThe foxes in my garden

...The foxes in my garden
Arrive at night to play
They  had their fill of chicken
And so decide to stay 

I crouch down on my haunches 
And look into her eyes 
The little one so trusting 
She’s ...

Premium MemberThe Park Bench

...I slowly make my way,
eyeing the perfect place to perch—
the bench sitting in the full sun,
caressing my face with its rays.

I’m drawn to the light
and shy away from the shade.
It gives m...

Don't want to put a hex on things
But this winter is feeling more like spring

Look For A Home For Me

...Look for a home for me that lie beyond the sea
 with grapes that run on vines, apple and peaches that
grow on limb, juicy pear that last  the whole year 
and an orchard  erected on the hill where ...

The Last Day of Spring

Sping is where it all begins
Before the universe came on the scene
Then shortly the summer appears
And drive out all the fear

Nirvana

...It was another night. It's around half past midnight. Windows are shut and doors are locked around the house. As I double-checked them to ensure the house's safety, my mind kept wandering back again....

Whittled Mind

...The whittle mind of self-reflection
Within a tiny bit of self-doubt
Coming from a stressful day
Life has its ups and downs that way
Can't say I enjoy it
can seem to do without it

Just another...

Gifts of gold and diamonds, you can put away,
Those aren’t the things that’ll make me stay.

The Fear of the Deer

...We all want to grow
But growth brings you fear
For what does a doe
Know better than a deer

They might be able to play
And run around all day
But the deer know fear
And they feel when death d...

Leaves and Leafy Grassiness

We sleep on each other,
lick on each other,
run around and nip on each other,
we are wholly 'each other,'

in the ruff and fur around our necks
and the snaggle of ou...

Scattered

...
In July.
The gym I go to is down the street.
I like to wear those shoes.
Shoes which are dying to run around.
My birthday.
It was horrible,
I don’t know why.
In July.
All I have are July sh...
