My Familiar

Tutelary deity 
Much too poncey

A cat perhaps
Yes by preference

Oh a dog 
But they smell so much

Niggets or creepy crawly things no
No Succubus a seduction in my sleep

Premium Member On All Hallow's Eve

unseen in forests
creepy crawly things slither. . . 
inhabiting night

miles from the black woods
bolder creatures (upright) flit. . . 
whooping in the streets

woods seem eerier
towns' garish beasts seem wilder. . . 
and strangeness prevails

Roly poly armor plated,
Clumsy gated beast.
Looking for a juicy worm,
A creepy, crawly feast.

Sleeping mostly through the day,
Prowling at night,
seeming quiet, docile, shy,
He can put up a fight.

Not a trouble maker,
It's just his lot in life.
He does his best not to be seen.
He's trying to survive.

Clumsy gaited beast.

Sleeping mostly through the day,
And prowling at night,
Seeming quiet, docile, shy,
He can put up a fight.

Not a trouble maker.
It's just his lot in life.
He does his best not to be seen,
He's tryng to survive.

Creepy Crawly Love

Looked up into the night sky
And I saw you falling
Then in the distance I watched you
Ever so slowly crawling to me

Sitting here I watched the sun rise
And I heard you calling
A sweet sensation rushes over me
Ever so slowly churning my insides

Looked out into the evening
And I saw you yearning
Floating to me like a spirit I once knew
Ever so slowly dancing to me

Life In Cyprus 2

We've got flowers and trees and Bees that sting
                and quite a few other creepy crawly things,
                We got rocks and weeds,a little waterfall,
                And a nice place to sit and view it all.
                Am I homesick for England? Not one bit,
                I'm here until God says it's time to quit!

Creepy Crawly Things

Creepy Crawly Things

Big eyes crying in the dust
May you not slither and bust
Those green creepy crawly things
Might prance unto you and sting
Seeing all those creepy critters
Might or even make you shivers
Was out cutting lawn saw big eyes
Now I’m telling you this is not lies
Those big creepy crawly things
Just might attack and give many stings.

Happy Halloween

Creepy crawly spider webs
Ghost and goblins in their head
Beware the night so full of dread
Apple bobbing, candy corn
Jack o lanterns light the way
Children so excited as they beg
To be delighted, but now
It’s time to go to bed;
And dream of all that they have done
They dream of ghosts and goblins
And the witches they have seen
And they’ll dream of trick or treating
On this Happy Halloween

You can't pizazz good poetry
It's more of a creepy, crawly thing.
How do you like my alliteration?
Stop snorting, good golly
(prescribing popcorn pureed in petulance)
okay, at least I tried... truly ;)
ps, am not into popularity.
just jivin.
don't dawdle
or drivel or drink much or dribble or
worry
stream of consciousness....
Ms. Mills taught me that
seems surreptitious to stop suddenly.
So I shall.

Premium Member Fear

Fear is a strong feeling for me, an emotion I despise
It is sometimes debilitating to me at times, I have surmised
Spiders, heights, creepy crawly bugs, diseases I may get
I am fearful of failure, not giving my all, having regrets
I fear being alone, dying alone, wasting away in a nursing home
I fear the afterlife and ponder if I will go to another realm to roam
