A Meeting

Yellow eyes locking,
glares broadcasting dominance
Bodies crouch, tails flick,
as potential energy
changes to kinetic force

At the Show

Drama against the footlight’s glare
Phantoms crouch, 
Looming shadows,
Revolving props,
The stage disappears with the play.

Premium Member Thought of the day

given that we are living light 
child of God always shining bright
enlivened by Holy Spirit 
why for then do we crouch in fright

Fragile Crickets

A thousand fragile crickets
mindlessly lost in dreams and song.
Swollen with dark intrinsic fevers
in a place where well kept secrets crouch.

Premium Member Ouch

Ouch!

A hard nut from Burnham on Crouch
Got bit by a crocodile, ouch
He snuck from the zoo
With a bush kangaroo
And a dead crocodile in its pouch

Kilt Tilt

A girl on the Tube stared at my crouch 
Her mum sat there and tried not to watch
Then mum's face turned red 
As she softly said,
"She thinks that is where I get my Scotch"

Fragile Crickets

A thousand fragile crickets
mindlessly lost in dreams and song.
Swollen with dark intrinsic fevers
in a place where well kept secrets crouch.

False Dawn

In the darkness I crouch and wait: for dawn to warm 
my bones and face and replace;
the ache of life and fate.
To hear the song of sunlight 
thrum! 
Therepace yon army's marching drum.

Premium Member Little Joey

Little Roo is bendin' low; body in a crouch
Just an itty bitty joey sitting in Mum's pouch
Still learning how to hop
But all he does is flop
I guess that's why he's always such a grouch

Premium Member Thought of the Day

Resistant to the light, we crouch in fright ~
Bemused by lower mind, we feel contrite

How long with fear, will we thus trauma bond ~
Ignite bliss within, by love’s magic wand

Choke

I SHUDDER IN THIS LIGHT
I RECOIL AWAY
INTO MYSELF
COVERING MY EYES
SCREECHING
PULLING AWAY
SKIN SHIVERING
INSIDE
THE TASTE OF THIS 
IS BITTER
I CROUCH AND CRINGE
IT'S CLUTTERING ME UP INSIDE.

To You, From Me

If I seem a little manic
Come December twenty-fifth
I’m just on the verge of panic
About getting you a gift

So please forgive me my remissness
As I crouch beneath the tree
Since I’m “present” here on Christmas
Let’s just say I got you me.

Labryinth

Religious votives
light a somber lair.
A hole I fathered
with rhinestones of doubt
and swatches of fault.

Sentinels loom -
vapid gargoyles
crouch in ghostly
contemplation

ogling my
handiwork.
Poised to pounce

when the
flames die

out.

Premium Member Whispers and Fears

  The avoidance, the whispers, the fear
    of fellow Jews now daily I hear

  Do I dare walk around with my skullcap on
    If I see Palestinians, should I run

  Tonight marks the first Chanukah light
    that 21st century Jews crouch in fear, out of sight

Blind

I may be blind without eyesight
I may crouch on through age and time
underneath an unseen sen
not knowing blood and death and gun

I may search long on the ground
to find but scorn from man and hound
but someday I might find the switch
to bring day to this dark and pitch

Premium Member We Need To Know

We need to know the truth of soul Our self existent light We’ve drifted away from life’s goal And so we crouch in fright Cessation is the way Where all we do is pray Letting God have His say Give it a go We need to know 30-May-2023 Quietus

Dancing Dragons

Petty words are spears which jab the back.
Their masters leap from foot to foot as fire flicks to wood.
And dance cruel games of lacking rules,
To play the unaware.
They crouch as dragons curled around their jewels we call the ego,
A suicide so soft, so sure,
It fills our satisfaction.

Perfect

PERFECT!!!!!!
Standing solemnly in standstill,
Aah how awesome and amazing,
Stirring at the splendor of space,
I fall flat on the face,
Frolicking fervently as I watch the flow of His glory,
I crouch to the creator of the creatures,
And I smiled for everything fit exactly in its environment.

Everyone Tells a Story

Everyone tells a story 

Few are boring as hell
Few make me jump in joy

Few make me bite my nail

Few let me crouch in corner

Few make me wince in pain

But all are unique

It’s an art

As I am crazy listener,

I travel along the story  

And love to carve it delicately in my heart ??

Premium Member Black and White

Snow cat
so wild
and white
black spots
will hide
and blend
with ease
by still
black trees
he looks
he stalks
black prey
in cold
chill brush
black eyes
stare through
he hears
white noise
a crouch
a lunge
a strike
to catch
and eat 
white meat
his prize.

Premium Member Dweller of our heart

inhaling grace, exhaling gratitude 
reborn at dawn, yet fearing not the night
the dweller of our heart sparks fortitude
through fierce storms of life and when dims our sight
knowing He’s within why’d we crouch in fright
with each breath outflow as God holds our hand
that we are His child, we then understand

Premium Member I SEE YOU

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a silence, thick as August heat, parts when the bus driver waits for the limping man to reach his seat. the child weeping in the pharmacy aisle is not yours, but you crouch anyway, offer a tissue, a name, a glance that says I see you.

Ambushed

waterside vigil
buffalo nears water hole
lions crouch low nearby

three-pronged ambuscade
buffalo calf culled from herd
swift pincer attack

quarried prey springs forth
stressed calf serpentines about
lead lion cuts angle

driven toward snare
flanks assaulted from both sides
vise tightened prey clasped
