Halloween Poem # 12...Creepy Crawlies

Disembodied hands
Creeping up the alley way
Deadly spiders too
Poison snakes and scorpions
Crawling 'round on Halloween

Reaching 
Grasping
Creeping 
Lasting
Stronger than the reaching grasping pain
Still it leaves a creeping lasting stain.

Creeping Chaos

    A leaf, curled and crimson, 
        bends beneath branches, 
            burdened by cold and creeping chaos.

creeping evidence of spring
my muddy footprints

Rain just stopped
                               incessant cry of frog, stopped

The Bear

If I ever have to meet a bear
While through the woods I am creeping
I hope I find him in his cave
In winter while he's sleeping

Party-face comes midnight creeping,
Proposing passion—piles heaping.
To boudoir—lustfully leaping,
Next I know—serenely sleeping.

Premium Member My Age Creeping Up

yesterday laughed
my bones creaked so
my age creeping
I was shocked; when did this happen?
moreover, who is this old one?
my age creeping

Creeping warm and green
when the sun returned golden,
spring sang in meadows.
Blooming mountains, bumblebees-
all danced to loved melodies.

Silent fog creeping
Over cool empty grasses
Awakening slowly

Lush sloping green fields
Wild flowers swaying gently
Morning dew glistening

Grook - Comfort To Death

Complacency, leisure and ease,
Sloth is a creeping disease.
To take your first breath,
Put comfort to death,
Only then, the day you may seize!

Night

Night
Dark, clear
Creeping, thundering, scaring
The people should be scared to roam at this time
Never ending, deadly, sneaking
Quiet, maniacal

Creeping slowly on
Passing thru the sands of life
Mysterious world

Quote

Time is precious
and a no friend of man.
From the rising sun of the dawn,
to the creeping clouds of the dusk,
the slim fingers of the clock tick.

one small stone
laments it place on top
a crooked tower
built on sand
cannot abide a rising tide
slow creeping near

TWILIGHT

Daylight was creeping into dusk
Yet enough light remained
To see the shadow or father
As he hoed before rain

Creeping quietly, crawling slowly
Walking stealthly, eying hungrily
Waiting patiently, calculating rapidly
the cat pranced, on the rat soon deceased

Punching Weight

A Carolina Wren jabs and weaves hopping in and out of a ring of sunlight, it has pugnacity, but the cat creeping near does not care.

Budding, preening tendrils in winter sunshine
Flora grasping, creeping from terra firma
Standing breathless, dawn is a sapphire calyx 
Hope springs eternal
