Short Blips Poems

Shadows
trace my steps
residual
light the dark cover blips
stalking...

too blue
for you

so sad
pure mad

loose lips
bad blips

get out
I shout

bad mood
rad dude

I cry
ask why

too blue
for you...

The most common subject of quips
Is a girl endowed with two blips
But under the covers
Gallop Pole discovers
Those girls can haul ass with their hips!...

Blips repeat on man's optic nerve
Reflections of each shapely curve
The impulse to meet
Slows the beat of his feet  
And to greet the target he'll swerve...

Ripped and tea soaked
blobs and blips
sellotaped the breaches 
shine and dust drenched attics
where sunlight picks its points
moments lost and rescued
wait somewhere
within the back
of my mind...

A sense of peace 
in the yard, 
Rose blips in green 
sea of grass
Warm sun loans 
her love to us, 
And wind’s breeze 
gives us a pass.

Robot rambling in foreign tongue
With bleeps and blips a hum and buzz
Intoxicated from coffee it shouldn’t have had
Sparks and fizzles, jerks to the ground. 
A man exclaims and questions, “who gave that robot coffee!?”...

Thoughts come but do not linger
They flutter and flit faster than hummingbirds’ wings
In blips and darts
I know too well how swiftly they can dissipate forever
I write down my ideas fast now
Before they disappear
Once gone, they cannot be revised or revisited...

For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5 NIV

JOY IN THE MORNING

dawn-sun rushes forth ~
sail wafts on liquid lemon,
salmon, bluebird blips

The mountains of the mind
are not high,
peaks that raise no taller
than the spike of a moment,

and yet,

to climb them can be treacherous,
thoughts can be avalanches.

Better to just watch,
those bluffs, buttes, and cliffs
as if on an oscilloscope,
let them pass you by
as meaningless blips....

At first spirit visits during your evening dreams
If you are receptive, they may come during the day.
They show up as glimpses, blips, swirls, birds and butterflies.
In photos, they come across as streaks, orbs, and smears.
These celestial visitors are here for one reason.
To show us that love exists beyond the veil....

Caught up in a swift maelstrom of my own emotional dances
Showing blips and bleeps of my diabolical solid evil side, 
I began twirling myself into my usual schizophrenic frenzy 
Was the result pandemonium? Bedlam? A straight jacket?
Ruthless vibrancy flung into an enthusiastic vigor of truth, 
In a luminous way I have to admit it was merely another day for me....

Developing a skin of leather
You know birds of feather flock together
The universe stitched fine like mesh
Indulging in myself with only love for the flesh
We are only small blips in time
The mind thinks it's all mine
How could i hope to ascend
When i can't see it's all pretend
The ego acting as the biggest defender
To never give up on the inevitable surrender...

What stings like wasps in hives,
Of trying minds' regret,
Invasive blips, flash frozen pictures,
Recalls, counterfeit,
Serrated icy sickled thoughts,
In glaciated snow,
Dread the warmth, the trickled stream,
Of thawing reapers' sown,
Sipping from the melt embibes,
The swarming, claustrophobic choke,
Alone the white hot heat of heart,
Scatters them with smoke....

A tongue hunts
the roof of its mouth seeking her heat.

A radar signals it's blindness
with haunted blips,
but he always knows where her flesh
melts in his hunger.

Just the other day
he walked into her
stole a piece of her mind
whirl it circled a far-off ceiling,
he took it into his birdcage chest,
wanting it to sing

but it would not,
for it had no voice but his,
and anyway
he was ever silent
inside her apocalyptic words....

Patterns emerge
Lines acquiesce
Points splatter
What a mess
...of matter

Darkness looms
Spaces concealed
Light blips
Stones revealed
...nothing

Boxes opened
Toys inside
Innocence gone
Wounds confide
...secrets

Ways create
Paths lead
Familiar journeys
Cultures need
...seed

Future bound to past
Moments drown in buried treasure
Transformation broke the mold
No frame could measure

LET ‘ER RIP

 
Let'er rip broken salted chips
Drop your hip, rythinmatic dance steps
Crush broken lined-circle blips
Let'er rip parted lips blowing trumpet
Pucker up screams praise in worship
Screeching tires on highway pavement trips
Let'er rip in kitchen mashing raw potatoes being whip
Art classes making paper mache masks
Strips of papers I crafted art fashion "id"
Let'er rip

Snow fell hard and fast, whitening everything in her path.  Grass, birdbath, 
bushes, trees, bird feeders, and bird baths all saturated with the cold stuff.
The only dashes of color are the black limbs and the red cardinals who are
taking deliberate turns at three feeders; the black limbs not nearly as
beautiful as the gorgeous red cardinals.

		           cardinals taking turns
                      pretty red blips in blizzard
                               the only color...

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, Oh LORD, my strength and my Redemeer." NKJV.

Let the words of my mouth fall on your ears.
God is the redeemer; with Easter near
believers, remember His sacrifice.
With faith in the Lord, you’ve nothing to fear.

The horrible things like war, grief and pain -
they are merely blips on the time line of
our short time on earth. Accept Christ with hope,
for free is His gift and brimming with love....

rabbit on the run
a chase

a blurred streak
a sneak-attack
rips through
a stretched skin of electric fear

slipstreams of instinct
give it a path to flee upon

earth springs-up
leaps ahead

air bouncing limbs
part waves
in a green sea.

rabbit never looks back
until
the scent of a killer
wafts upon dispersing clouds

it nibbles scenery
forgets wild flights
or wall-eyed race tracks
through long grass

yet even now

ears scan for blips
on a fine-haired radar

heading to Blarney Castel to get me some....
Cork, Ireland, here I come!
To give the Blarney Stone a kiss,
means I will be a more persuasive miss

I can hardly contain my joy, with my new blips
new flattery will gently flow from my lips.
I have always wanted the gift of gab.
It’ll be the best day when I meet the slab.

Blarney Castle, get ready to pucker up.
I am ready to change my luck and my cup.
Hold me upside down, let me give you a kiss.
I am going to Cork, hope I won't miss!...
