Premium Member Evening of Mirth Autumn Haiku For Contest

bristling wee hedgehog
out on an evening of  mirth 
crunch,crunch everywhere

nose gently nuzzle
going slowly through spun gold
sun kiss autumn leaves

Morning

The Sky Is Bristling
                                                The dog must be whistling 
                                                      in the morning sky

Premium Member A Love Poem

How do I love thee, but maybe the censors are listening Waiting to pounce, muzzle me, that's when I start bristling My love is like a volcano Waiting to erupt in a halo Of kisses and slobbers and naughtiness wiggling

Night Texting

Night bristling
Eerie breezes whistling
Frothy fog swirls its bleary balloon

Enchanting moon over palling parade doth swoon
Each, twinkling star spews vice from bewitching spittoon

Animated shadows minds vexing
Stealthy sprights hearts hexing
Night texting

Sensual Duet Sung

kisses on her lips
open meadows rise in heat
butterflies set free to sing
tall grass' bristling soft
moon river tearing of joy
song of the wind deafen

Premium Member In My Grasp

bottom of a bowel
of jagged rocks
slender bristling pines
ring  a ragged sky
through which slips
slivers of warmth
hugging me like a child
on this crisp morning

life on the line
wiggling wriggling
jumping
splashing, flashing
slippery, cold, and firm
in my grasp

Assuredly

Through the blackest hours;
     I glimpsed a movement,
Bristling within flames
     Found of opportunity...

With cupped fingers
     I drank of its droplets~
Wrung from the clouds 
     Of security...

It was then I exhaled~
     As the rays of hope encompassed me;
Knowing, I AM has made a way for me --
     Assuredly...

Premium Member The Inkling

I have an inkling 
My writing is winking
At me behind my back
Or maybe its just blinking, 
Mindlessly thinking
While wrinkling up
My tiny universe
By tinkering
And intermingling
The real and the false~
I hear a clinking,
A chilling kind of whistling;
What is that stinking prickling 
I can feel bristling 
Up and down my spine?

October Morn

Gilded streams tapestry weave
Frothy dew doth pageant aggrieve
Brimming bough wrapped in embroidered sleeve
Withering grass to the denuded soil doth cleave
Translucent sickles glimmer on each availing eve
Bristling ice pelets bleary-eyed cisterns do heave
Mercurial splendor doth summer's monotony relieve
Chilled masses do body's warm circulation deceive

Premium Member Blue Jay

perched on a high tree
a blue jay lookout screeches ~
swift bristling of crests


[when blue jays feed in peace, their crests are lowered, but
become raised when danger is sensed.]

Premium Member My Friends Outside

Two Red Pines outside my
Window stand ready every day

Bristling with long needles
And runkled cones, still young

My first sound upon awakening
…..The sweet seeee---sawww
Of the Red Winged Blackbird,
Migrating home

Soon, the swamp I navigate daily 
On my walk will fill with
Feathered friends-

All of us excited by emerging
Cattails….

Comforted, together

My Ex

My ex is like...
		a troll:

	a short one, ugly and hairy but muscular.

My ex is like...
		an overstuffed gnome, 
	like a Santa’s elf with a bristling beard, but
		never a smile.

My ex is like...
		Jabba the Hut:
	gross, ill-mannered, greedy, selfish,
	gobbling up whatever suits him.

My ex is gone. And my relief is like sunshine and
	an open window after a heavy rain.

Flash Flood

a storm is brewing
dark hordes bristling to descend
dissenting thunder

coalescent scouts
in tentative teams essay
sun-parched earth awaits

sizzle of drizzle
pheremonal petrichor
harbingers of hope

cool breeze in the air
their work done, drops sponged, expunged
the deluge follows

A feline's evening watch 01-07-26

I'm alone.

The sea calls to me,
diamond spears 
striking stone terraces,
an ominous clash
like thundering war drums.
The air hums with electricity,
my hair bristling 
inside the storm.

The ground beneath melts away,
rocks tumbling into the sea below.
Skidding, sliding, 
I lock eyes with
the ocean spray,
its roar thick with contempt 
and the hunger to devour all.

Why does the neighbour have to own a damn dog?

Premium Member Tempestuous

Seething skies like bloodshot eyes,
wailing gales assailing through canyon ~ 
weeping fits, ember storm cries
bristling tears with random abandon.

East to west, unwanted guests,
downsloping dire breeds with fire
fueling fest of fiery crests
aborning hells of unholy spire.

Santa Ana merciless winds breathing
capricious firebrands kindle tinder teething.
