Premium Member When Sleep's Afoot

When sleep's afoot
  roaming the hills
Will pillows deign pursuit...

Yet when dreams linger
  waking's a beggar
knocking at your door

Premium Member Mysticism Is Afoot

ancient Aztec communication mask
with her brilliant fluorescent lines
comes alive in the deepest recesses of the caves
unseen by humans
revered by spirits of the otherworld
mysticism is afoot

Premium Member Snow Afoot

In snow
Walk slow

If stuck
Hard luck

Bad foot?
Stay put

Forced stay
Delay

A sleigh!
Hooray!

Premium Member Faerie Magic Is Afoot

Three am now
Faerie magic is afoot
The witching hour

The house is silent
Spirits try for attention
I know they are here

I sense and smell them
Because my family is fey
Sometimes they throw things

Premium Member Seahorse Mania Is Afoot

Sea horse mania is afoot
I see them in my sleep
Thanks to a collector daughter
They prance and neigh

Ridiculous I think
There is loud laughter
A splash from my water glass
Two land on my bedside table

Afoot

On the jetty a Green Harbor
I stood the other day
Cold and wet and rainy
An’ I was out t’ play

The wind was keepin’ company
She rode in with the tide
Spottin up me glasses
So I couldn’t see the glide

Of a hungry screaming seagull
A flutter in me eyes
The footing was as greasy
As only kelp can be

But I’d been there
A time before today
A disappointed seagull
Flew away
