The most Compleat Angler that's ever been
A zillion worms he'd gleefully dangled
Lies cold and squirming, and sadly doth glean
He's feast for the worms used while he angled...

the midnight air was cold
as she dangled her hand out the window
the wind, rain, the road all beating
louder, and louder
leading up to a crescendo
then silence
all grey-
moon, pavement, skin...

When darkness styled me for a while
He deftly like a surgeon broke the spell
Begin we dropping dangled from a chute
From above we land one step from hell

Remember … You jumped and pulled the ripcord to start the journey...

he would not avoid the void any longer
like a cliff hanger he dangled at the abys
abysmal emotions told him to leap yet
for action he searched for a jump lead
when silent retreat bonded with Self
nothingness created a vacancy for life

sparks stray to my soul
music-smile till passions cry
what if boredom's creep stalks us?

life stages dangled
lively talk tings like wind chimes
restored canvas tinted love

Jody removed one shoe, one sock,
Dangled her foot over the dock;
With foot in the water, 
      while picking her nose,
Along came Crawdaddy 
      who plucked off her toes.

While a lattice of gold asters sheds its dangled petals, 
I cringe against the intrusion from rainfall's unforgiving wind.
Through night's hush, moist blooms graze my arms scenting my quietude.

it took so much for me
to stop myself-
such close proximity,
my need dangled in 
the air, standing hair
on end. you are
an imposing threat,
sent to deliver flesh
from bone, destroy all
in your wake. i will take
my chances, dance
around your taste buds,
tickle your chin with
dirty nails....

Her hands looked so very old.
Veins protruded like sandhills on a desert.
Her dry cracked skin resembled parched clay.
Fingers dangled displaying broken fingernails.
Obviously this poor dear soul had lived a hard life.
It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul.

I think the hands are the map to get there !...

one leaf dangled from
a single spider-web strand
in fresh morning air

as I greeted the sun,
sitting under a tree in
my dew-filled backyard

I was stilled by the
beauty of this lone leaf, in
its simplicity

But, then the leaf fell
I was startled, but the joy
in my heart  remained

"Your last wish?", asked one cop,
The man in prison got some hope.
The old man's life was like hell,
With the hat on his head, he came out of jail.

Before he dies, wanted to do something good,
"Teach my son how to smile", he said in an amusing mood.
Dangled on the rope, the old man died,
With tears in his eyes, the cop finally smiled....

We searched for your slanting eyes
as you plucked a dombra
on hills of Kazakhstan 
your circles of light
dancing, leaping, gyrating  
making heath grow
in bundles

It sang your mission
Heaven on Earth
Heaven on Earth
ropes loosened, dangled
Where to ?

Into One Source
where we created you
so that love can 
jump again in
black lashes...

There inside take a look
It is dark and locked
I am haunted
A phantom I could not fathom
Oh! I feel a deafening silence.

This sigh is a hook
I am dangled and choked
I am hunted
I wish my knew was new
Oh! I feel a deafening silence.

I died the day you left
Missing you is a gain-say
My heart cannot bear this theft
To loneliness...a prey....

The tug of ellipses
measures our weight
in the vivid gyroscope
clustered by gases
noble cloaked in
the curtain

to benefit from the
necessary intrusion
of thought coercion
until no fool or genius
questions the majesty
around us

or the ineligibility
of humans to pass
themselves off as
dabbling masters of
gods behind dangled
talisman logic....

I brushed aside
My faraway glimpses,
The many consequences
Of trifle revelries I wasted
Grasping the snippets of night time
And all  abandoned pining.
Bouquets of fondled whispers dangled
Among damp stems along Riviera beach,
Still molding flit kisses in balmy shades
That stretched on coasts of sudden farewells.

All mimosa is in bloom 
For the Saint Valentines Day
Deep in my heart still remains a branch
That never dried through the coldest winter
It dangled bringing waves to my eyes
Of a memory that from sleep wakes slowly…

I break the glassy eyelashes
And turn your head around for a moment
Dangle it as I do with the wave in my eyes
So it won't break
So it can follow us…...

bruised bliss puked 
vying voluptuous view
lanky lust lurched
veiling hankering verge
dark drips dangled
felon fate fumbled

saucy sight seeped'n
nocturnal spell spree,
callous contraction's creed

moaning mists melted
basked braces belched
smothered syllables rent

gaunt gift grasped
taunted troubled trance.

Graves of many, dreadful dark and spooky.
Spiders hung and swayed a little kooky.
Pumpkins fierce howling red glow.
Walking-dead knock blow-by-blow.
Black wild cat moved its tail slightly fluky.

Dracula went out dressed as cranky Grinch.
Drank few too many got into tight pinch.
By foot dangled the mayor,
Threw him over conveyor.
Towns people came around with rope to lynch....

Straight elegant and graceful
Was the walk to fate
Without a winkle or smell 
Of the dreaded death 
Poised on each lurking venture

The dawning of a smirk 
Dangled from the wandering eyes 
Meandering to the silky slide 
Of each earthly mould  

Beholding the grinding beads 
Drew beads of lusts 
Dropping like lump of hails 
Destined to crush the rising rush
Into desired pieces...

"Pleasure is the carrot dangled
To lead the ass to market or the precipice"
And when it is astutely angled
It will its objective  more than suffice
How many have fallen for such a reward
To find themselves embedded in ice
While hoping for a lustful concord
There comes no greater fall in a trice
When tangled in such a  honeyed trap
For which must be paid the price
Of leaping ere you look to take the rap...

Black softness nestles in his sheen so fab
as warm purrs vibrate his feline aura
Gash-like, a red neck-sash swings a gleaming
heart-shaped pendant, swaying a dangled flash.
Ebon stretches as the midnight creature
elongating his compacted frame, lithe.
Reaching, he uncurls a bounding jaguar
awake to the moon’s abracadabra

Salute the woman with her bags packed tight
Brave is her search, and strong is her fight.
The reason to flee, overpowers the stay
She’s no longer afraid of the running away.
Keys sit clasped in sweat drenched palms
The call to glory her body demands.
5 years ago hope was dangled and dared
Now in the distance she’s no longer scared.
Salute to the woman who helped her break free
Brave is the human she’ll turn out to be...

Felines with natural cattitudes
haughty, prissy, full of aloof and disdain
show indignant behaviors with regularity

Being high strung, anxious, and pouty 
has been inbred and ingrained.
They can go from happily purring  
To full out attack mode in an instant

Holding grudges? Yes, they are terrific at this.
Punishing their owners until the right brand of catnip
or the right color cat toy has been dangled in front of them....
