Premium Member Watch Out For the Shadow Tree

Cautioned to look out for the shadow tree
She is spiderlike with white tentacles
Her venom kills on Halloween night
We screamed at her when they turned out the light

Premium Member The Banshee Was Biding Her Time

The banshee was biding her time
Trying to look like she belonged
At the Scottish wedding 
Death found her

And escorted her out
Wrong wedding he cautioned her
She was young, 
Glad she had saved her wail.

Sacred Scarred Goddess

Wrapped in scars like punishment tattoos
each glance a challenge or a warning
Time stopped in slightest wrinkle
and other faucets caught in simple moment
but eyes
that told the story
and cautioned
pick a side
no falter
decide


Premium Member just dont step on me

a Madagascar hissing cockroach fell in love with me at the dance
He chose me as his partner, and admired the way I prance
Just don’t step on me, he cautioned, as we did some loopsy-loops.
I was weirded out of course, and took a hard step……ooops!

Untitled #6 / the Boy

The boy heard the familiar tune
wafting through the radio at midnight
as he lay alone in his bed, enshrouded
in darkness – “to be a rock and not erode”
cautioned the singer, but the boy
could not help but wonder
who his girl was making love to that night
and he could not help but cry.
Form: Narrative

Unwelcomed Silence

In the long silence
Of night fall
I urge my heart not to cry,
As I push aside the haunting
Yesterdays shared by you and I...

Hush!
I cautioned the wind,
Do not whisper his name and
Then I prayed to be strong enough,
To laugh again when morning light
Comes and caresses my heart.

Does Bible Allow Protestants a Divine Feminine Aspect

John Meyendorff makes a careful case that the Holy Spirit can be interpreted as a Feminine Aspect in the Trinity. He is clear that Only the WORD became flesh as Jesus Christ. But in Meyendorff's chapter in a volume edited by Dow Kirkpatrick (1974) titled THE HOLY SPIRIT, we are cautioned NOT to slide into Gnostic beliefs.

Premium Member cucumbers dalmations and hysterics

cathartic Cathy cautioned counted cucumbers
distressing dungeon dragon’s delicate Dalmatian
effective Evie enthusiastically explained efforts
following five frolicking frisky French francs
giving grateful granny goose grumpy grits
handily helping Helena’s high hysterics
igniting illustrious iguana’s intricate ideals

Premium Member Lying In Wait

All was quiet on the eastern front, and the southern front too.
We faeries were lying in wait, hoping the elves would be back soon.
A troop of brownies wandered by, drunk on sunflower seed oil.
Hush! The queen cautioned us. We transmogrified into flowers.
We certainly do not need a brownie skirmish before an elf battle.

Premium Member Not Yet

Not yet, I was cautioned. Don’t do it too early.
But I was ready to yell “uncle” because I was hurting.
As I opened my mouth someone put a rag in it.
I was mumbling “uncle! uncle! Uncle!”
My cousin has a mean streak.
He was not letting go.
I knew that I should have called uncle a lot earlier.
When I still had the chance.

Premium Member Dream Child Mode

Shh! Grandma cautioned her parents. She is in dream child mode.
The paisleys and oranges and polka dots are gearing up her dendrites.
Driving her REM to the world of magic, you need to let her be.
She’s an astral traveler, her Daddy said to Grandma. Nothing will wake her up.
Her dendrites were a rocket ship, blasting toward mystical imagination.

Premium Member the siren wee

alluring, captivating, enchanting she
lounged on the island at edge of the sea
stay away from her, cautioned sailors to Lee
but he steered his sailboat up to her knee

Her lamenting song was a lovely melody
her scales shimmering, all could certainly agree
Lee was entranced, hypnotized by this pretty she
which delighted the siren, known only as Wee

Premium Member cat guards her jack o lantern

Cat decided to sleep outside on Halloween
Be careful! Cautioned her owner; do not be seen
People are evil, do not turn your back.
But cat wanted to guard the pumpkin Jack.

So, she sat in the field, watching her friend.
Luckily the trick-or-treaters were not around the bend.
They stay in town where more houses are.
She did not see a person, a truck or a car.

Premium Member Not Your Name

Three delicate night faeries
Lighter than firefly dew
Flickering in the meadow
Beyond the ocean blue

Showing us the way
To secrets unknown to many
I heard one of them whisper
My name is Penny

Not your name! another cautioned her
That might turn mortals in the wrong direction
I smiled at Penny, the loose-lipped faerie.
Suddenly feeling a bit of joyful affection.

Premium Member Sexy Frog did not Listen to her Mother

Sexy frog was almost too svelte to meet the queen
The queen is corpulent and ugly, rarely seen
Do not dress too well, her mother cautioned her.
But Sexy frog was not subtle, and in no way demure.

So sexy frog showed off a glowing glittery dress.
Her nails were done, and her hair not a mess.
The Rubenesque queen toad was angry as could be.
She locked sexy frog up in the dungeon with Simon Legree.

Premium Member It Is Not Easy Being Animal Friendly

I sit outside wondering what those bossy raccoons are doing in the kitchen.
They threw me out assuring me that spaghetti making is their specialty.
Do not let the crows in, I cautioned them. They steal my shiny jewelry.
It is not easy being animal friendly. I sit on the porch, trying not to hear
My husband’s favorite drums being played in the living room. 
Obviously those bozos have let the opossums in!

Premium Member Who Is Going To Tell Her

Who is going to tell her we asked each other,
Your sister, your aunt, married to your brother.
Tell her in a nice way we cautioned the loser,
Sandra glared at us, the worst straw chooser.

She sat and stared but did not talk at all.
Supposed to tell her today, not next fall.
We knew this could quickly go south,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth…

Premium Member Grandpa Explains the Grading Scale

Grandpa’s barn held many secrets
We were cautioned to never open the boxes out there
We figured there were skulls and bodies in them.
When we were six we opened some

Found report cards but did not understand the A’s and B’s.
We were graded with S’s and G’s at the time. 
Took them to Grandpa who explained them this way.
A for awful, B for Bad, C for Correct, D for danged Good and F for fine.

Grandma had been an awful student!

Premium Member We Cannot Take Passengers

We cannot take passengers mice cautioned me
But the blue spotted frog was desperate you see
Hang on to the fender, I told him in the kindest way
Thanks for the ride! He said. You have made my day!

A miniature chickadee swooped down from her perch.
We are delivering groceries! Yelled out the grouchy mouse Berch.
It is okay, I told him as long as we get it all delivered today.
We picked up six more passengers before the end of the day.

Premium Member Hurricane Sunday

Hurricane Sunday

The rest of us
were not interrupted..
But an entire state
was interrupted..
Living there once
we were cautioned:
residence here is living
with the hurricane
not if..but when..
When arrived early
 Sunday morning..

A wish for those there:
May the peace of the eye
be found in your hearts
and may the eye expand
calming your winds
and your waves
for a lasting peace 
coming ashore on this 
Hurricane Sunday...

Nursing School Dropout

The young woman peered into the room
She saw a large legless blind man
Uncovered and naked on the bed
The nurse nudged the woman forward
And warned her not to dawdle
The nurse declared that the man needed a sponge bath
Had the disease of diabetes
Had not taken care of himself
So we have to – take care of him, that is
After a final push, the nurse cautioned the woman
Dear, be careful around his thingy
I do not need this man getting excited

Premium Member Get Rid of the Interloper

I was cautioned, he is a master chessman, so if we go ….
We have to not even whisper, and we have to tiptoe
I was expecting an owl, for I had heard he was a fowl.
I was shocked to see it was a parakeet and uttered a vowel.

The parakeet said get rid of the interloper and I was led away
So I did not see the match between him and Alice that day.
I never went back, for they had put me in jail.
And I decided to stay, for it was a place to get mail.
