Premium Member With a Constant Draft
She's in quite deep with out a doubt, a very cramped space to pull her out. She slipped into a loneliness well, a cold sad place for one to dwell. There were times when she was reaching out but no one heard her pained shout. She couldn't recall days of glory, stayed focused in...

The Shaft of a Quill
This horny shaft of ruffled feathers Is hollow and needs to be filled This shaft has become a hard ballpoint pen It needs secretion within parchment It is filled with ink wanting to write Without you I have writers block I will glue your pages together Placing my hard cover around you I need to be in your table of Content I will turn...

Premium Member The Bowman's Shaft
The Bowman's Shaft Solo archer gathers mist of amour clouds, dipping venturous arrow tips in a veiled concocted potion, drowning its mettle in a whimsical bliss of a dreamt liquefied mirage that defines the elixir, Cupids errant arrow is liberated openly o'er the arc of a rainbow, exuberantly hunting its e'er sought Terra, whereto, it scarcely flutters...

Trump Giving Us the Shaft and More
Trump Giving Us the Shaft Knock, knock, knock and guess who's here; It must be foolish Trump with all of his fear; Executive order; Go to border; Who had given us the shaft with his spear.

Pluto Got the Shaft
I have had this question That's been bouncing in my head for quite some time So while I'm at it I just thought I might as well ask it in rhyme Out of all the Disney characters I feel compelled to ask How come Pluto is the only one That ended up getting the shaft Let's start this off with Mickey Who rules the...

Shaft
Soul, can you sing from deep damp of the well, Peering past rounded stone to distant light Pinpointed beyond these claustrophobic Walls, conspiring cave-ins, smothering Something essential? Goblin grief grabbed You, waylaid in terror, bound hand in foot, Tumbling head down, now up, to this abyss – Your song, surface stranded, stares down forlorn. Prisons of failure, missteps and regret Can only detain with...

Premium Member Shaft of Light
From somewhere in the pitch of night, comes a remnant from my childhood. The door lets in a crack of light, and there, outlined, where mother stood is a silhouette, against the wood. And, as if a star had gone astray she would touch my hair and kiss my brow, and brush my worries far away, while letting me allow, my eyes to close...

Elevator Shaft
Elevator Shaft By Kevin Robey April 9, 2013 Here he lies at the bottom of this elevator shaft This is where he fell and snapped his shaky back This fate is his and one that he truly deserved This is where the road bent and he swerved He cries knowing she’s surely better off now He didn’t save her, broke her faith,...

There, within the sinister forest of despair he stood Numb, lost as to what next to do Before him lay a pathway to where…so unclear As an empty feeling grasped his psyche, instead Being a man, in subtle silence he bled And in solitude made plans his heart held Many boulders, stones lined the way Soon became craggy mountains meant to...

Shaft of Light
In the deep dark night There isn't a single light The clouds start caving in Like they had never been The next thing was a miracle It seemed so magical A shaft of light Struck through the thick clouds with all its might It filled the dark night With light so bright The bitter darkness Was finally overcome with brightness Feb. 11th, 2013...

The overcast sky, the drizzling rain, the weather dictates my mood again. Grey and black clouds block the sun. A dismal morning has begun. A break in the gloom is what we need as through the clouds a shaft of light bleeds. One small ray brings a lift to the heart. I hold my breath ... and watch the clouds part. ~~~ 09/02/2013~~~ for...

Shaft of Light
It was a dark and lonely night Suddenly there came a shaft of light My heart was jumping out of my skin While trying to keep all fears within I became silent, my legs became stiff I felt like I was pushed of a cliff Then suddenly I saw a strange ship I got so frightened that I bit my lip It came...

Premium Member Candle's Single Shaft of Light
Erie sounds cry from the blackness of night Dark clouds casting shadows over tonight's moonlight Stumbling down an unfamiliar path I wind Among obstacles challenging both body and mind A wrong path taken, will I find home? Or spend a night among nothingness alone Then in the distance I see a single shaft of light A candle in the window, everything's all...

Shaft of Light
Where there is a gap in the dark gate There is a shaft of light, so intemerate. A ray that pulls all creatures to come along, To experience the magic,inspiration so strong. The sweet aroma in the air takes its course, To liven things up,with the illuminating force. The cold,drawn trees are filled with fervour , Dismayed,colourful butterflies now happily flutter. Birds soar...
