My Plan To Kill God

Mt style is styless
words made from smudges and dots
like cots of baby robots
fraught with thought
a despot naught

is forever endless ?
or will this pain not stop

Top To Bottom

Everything's going good, I've no problems to tell
It's so wonderful that it's all starting to gel!
With all of that said,
You'd say I'm ahead
But my car broke down, so now I'm afoot as well!

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

In snow
Walk slow

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

Premium Member Mystic Madame

Mystic madame had an ethereal ambiance of her own.
We visited her rarely, for she was not often home.
Her house had an eerie quality, a personality of its own.
Apparitions were afoot, even when no human was home.

a wren's knife cuts through glum dawn ~

Sanctuary Necessary

Camouflage afoot
hooves trembling
don't stay put
run aground disassembling
hurry shroud apparel
fortress in view
departure from the barrel
exemption you blew
woe
go



* It's hunting season, so I thought I would write about the poor deer :(

Premium Member Santa Freeze

SANTA FREEZE What is afoot is what made Santa freeze — Not the normal chimney smell in the breeze. This must be a joke! He hates these old folks! Instead of socks Granny hung her undies. 11/29/2018 *contest does not require meter so I took some liberty :)

Premium Member Incredible Feeling

I feel an incredibleness enter my heart strings today
I wonder what this is about; it is not my birthday.
The holidays are over.
Something is afoot.
Something marvelous.
Something wonderful.
I feel joyful.
Mischief of the best kind.
I smile, knowing a terrific day is beginning.

Pet pup with paws I am full of pep Earned my echoed brave endeavors Afoot I run amused underfoot, a spill angered my owner Nooky with my wet nose as I nip their ankles Unfed, unruly until I am fed Tail wages tasty tidbits I am given 12/8/2020

Premium Member pretend you do not know

autumn wood nymph threw flaming pixels into the sky
harvest moon smiled at her audacity, he likes a challenge
black forest is silent, wondering how long they will glow
October has begun, witches and warlocks are afoot
shh! Pretend you do not know, being mortal and all
you empathic receiver!

Premium Member August Crickets

Dark moon day of August
I stepping on a nail
hospital tetanus shot
I draw Kenaz from my Rune bag

Sitting out at night
First time crickets sing
Starry sky's Milky Way
Two shooting stars see me

My black cat runs by
Dog howls down the road
Forest spirits are afoot
Really too much magic

Premium Member Cancelling T

Iv'e heard there are some, who wish to do
A cancelling of 't' the very first letter; at the 
Beginning Of true.'
I got into a puzzle of thought; and guess.?
Till upon inquiry there was help no less'
It seems,  there is afoot?
A sort of plan' if it's removed from 'treason'
Some won't carry the can!

Premium Member Rendezvous

Wait until twilight fades. We’ll rendezvous under the flickering magical moon. Lead me afoot, pathless woods where you choose, Lay me gently on earth’s cool soft berth Lace our fingers, and whisper sweet love poems and slowly yield to deep rapture whimpers

Premium Member Crystal Rose

A blanket of white
Fell in the night
My garden of flowers
Was nowhere in sight
I walked it afoot
I searched with my eyes
All blooms seemed lost
And covered with ice
But then I spotted 
The most beautiful rose
Covered in crystal
That nature had froze
A delicate marvel
Unique in its shape
Frozen in time
No plucker to take

Premium Member Fallen Sparrow Broken Wing-

a nesting sparrow;
fell down from out of a tree;
onto his side now,
~
fell on the ground now;
sparrow has a broken wing;
can't fly away now;
~
there's danger afoot;
a Feral Alley cat spies;
broken bird on ground;

(meow, yum -yum-yum)
pusssss-meow, meow, meow;
meeeeow-meow yum!
