Crazy Joe

Crazy joe had an elephant,
who he rode with some elegance,
until he wound up in his trunk
and into the drink was dunked
and cursed it's smiling arrogance

Premium Member Head Dunk

Fred had a huge sore appear on his head
Feeling itchy, he scratched until it bled
He risked looking like a fool
And dunked his head in the pool
Then gasped at the huge tick floating he shed

God's Inspection

Meaning of perfection
Passing God's inspection!

Jesus alive in me
Realizing whole person

Follow the cross
Path to God's love

If dunked (baptized)
So be it!

Jesus is true power
Wise shepard

Going to heaven?
Look for Him!

Premium Member Dirty Fingernails That Is Me

When your fingernails are excruciatingly dirty
filthy even
rather disgusting
it means one of these things:
you are a gardener 
You understand and enjoy dirt therapy
Or you are one of those people
Who is dunked into a bathtub 
once or twice a week wailing and screaming
Luckily I am both

Absence of Flowers

This thinning pen lays
on a shed of damp grasses,
where there are no flowers
to daringly explore---
A gasping star wanes
into the ash of light;
emptiness becomes its only environ
neutral as the dunked rays 
greying the skyline.
Dreary as a poet's last whimper,
unfinished phrases gather to rest
anticipating the wake of morn's petals.

Unknown

I have no address: 
Not north or south; 
Nor east or west, 
Not even a dark shadow in the map. 

I weave in nowhere -- 
Right in the middle, my tent! 

My soup is characters dunked with dawn, 
My bread is a piece of sun. 

I have no money to share with you! 
I swap you only with: idea and
Wings from mirage!

Premium Member Wings of Sorrow

wings of sorrow
a monarch cries
screams of a sparrow
a heart ripped and shredded
she hates her meds
she hates her meds

dusty thoughts
saturated and dunked
her soul screams
all play is gone
she hates her life
she hates her life

inward closings
trusting no one
she is completely alone
sorrow swallows her up
she hates herself
she hates herself

Premium Member Edge Of Night

This thinning pen lays 
on a shed of damp grasses
 where there are no flower
 to daringly explore--- 

A gasping star wanes 
into the ash of light; 
emptiness becomes
 its only environ neutral a the dunked rays 
greying the skyline. 

Dreary as a poet's last whimper, 
unfinished phrases gather to rest
and in the edge of night, the world
grows still as dying petals .

Secret Identity

"Are you a boy or a girl"?

Angry Dad asked son five times

Dunked in water,  his answer:

Son: (gasping)  "Mermaid!"

Premium Member James Bee Dee

James Bee Dee dunked himself in vats of cologne,
Hoping this would cover up his lack of bathing.
Every Saturday night he spends by himself, alone.
Primping, preening, for a lovely woman, he’s craving.

Preparing for a date that might never ever be,
He resolves to stick to his determined non-bathing plan
There will be no water touching stubborn James Bee Dee. 
He winks at his reflection, saying “You’re the man!”

Premium Member We Wagged Our Tails With Glee

We dogs were in an uproar, angry as all get out.
The cats get all the attention in October, we usually pout.
Let’s have our own tradition, come howl at the moon.
So this year we had their own party, all in costume.

We dunked for doggie treats out of a large vat.
We constructed our own HELLO door mat.
We sat on each other’s laps, and wagged our tails with glee.
Next year if we hold another one you can go there with me.

Escaping Rita

Chased mercilessly 
over well- worn tar 
palpable loss pushes 
a sable brush 
dunked in dread
a furious deluge
of fear 
 oozes out
blackens every inch
 of familiar landscape
what if’s 
eat through 
 the still static blue horizon
making a meal 
of unborn dreams 
slaked only by
hastily grabbed 
history 
coupled with 
ragged spirits 
 that desperately 
haul hope north 
safe haven 
on strange soil 
still dark hours
 away

Flambed

The blood in my veins,
Long past smoldering, begins to scorch---
Beneath the skin
Purple agony erupts again,
Ignited by the shimmer of your eyes---
My breath is gone,
Excluded by my swollen tongue---
My nose feels like a potato
Overcooked,
Or dunked in hellish alien wines---

Impossible concentration---

How long will you stretch the agony---
My skin is near the breaking point,
Flame broiled beneath your gaze

Please release me,
Let me go

Premium Member Sequestered Trilonnet

I have a penchant for your kiss,
I kind of dig that hidden smile;
Look in my eyes there’s no typo;

Each moment I don’t want to miss,
Baby please let me stay awhile;
It’s so warm I want to go slow;

On whispered words I reminisce, 
caught up in your gentleman’s style;
A drawl dripping with southern flow;

My heart hangs on a precipice 
fearing I’m headed to exile;
Picante is charged with mellow;

Affinity for pure jesters,
dunked by desire that sequesters.

Twilight

Flashlamp tracings trap and dazzle,
dancing in the twilight. Children scatter
through the meadow, flip-flops flapping,
eager beavers chasing dreams.

Fast the flow, the stream blinks
back a hint of moonlight,
and the torches' criss cross patterns
splatter 'til the beams converge.

Nets are plied, and mason jars
are dunked beneath the rippling surface, 
small fish wriggle in confinement,
kids' excitement and delight.

Safe and snug, imaginations 
settle as they say goodnight.

Premium Member Painting Tigers Turquoise

King wanted tigers, but he did not want them yellow
He was an incredibly self-absorbed, picky little fellow.
I want my tigers to be turquoise, he said, lead them to the paint.
They got tipped and dunked, and a few of them did faint.

The baby tigers did better than the older ones, so those he kept.
He moved all the adult tigers out while their offspring slept.
The babies were annoyed when they discovered their parents gone.
They got rid of the king and his throne and readily moved on.
