Is that the mist
over stricken street
Or cloud in an act of suicide earthbound
Or are my eyes misty
as the tears drown my eyes
Brown-suited Indian
My
Pillowed refuge
To the
Unforgiving eyes
And the
Mynah Bird claws
Of
Earthbound peoples
The night is all mine.
Laying in lush, dew soaked grass
Hands for a pillow,
My earthbound home forgotten
As I hitch a ride with stars…
the young boy running
his kite lifts into the sky
delighted laughter
his dreams no longer earthbound
oh, the possibilities

Let us venture externally the box,
Let's discover - let's rediscover a
Poet 'neath each prelude an earthbound box;
Students we'll remain e'er in a day.
Unicorns with fairy wings carry me beyond the moon
Flights that transcend all my earthbound dreams
OH, this trip beyond reality-the stuff of poems it seems....
For the UFO contest
Why don't we take up our wings and fly?
away from this earth and up into the sky.
We have been earthbound for so long now
it's almost as if we've been keeping a vow.

He came
and brought her
life with his
stories. They
were all the life she had.
She lay
with her eyes
wide, blurred
with images from elsewhere.
He was earthbound small
and she was large,
floating.
It was dark
when he left the room.
Liberty, foreigner, all wait
To curb and control you.
The wing'ed soul its essence is.
Soul, earthbound. With its bliss!
Brought into its trembling fear
With each pact, promise signed
An animal's. Which on command
Obliged is to sit, stand.
Enchanted sequins move with laser precision
Sensationally choreographed pyrometrics dance
Mystifying wingless flight of earthbound spirits
Steadily intensifying blurred colors streak by
Blades defy gravity suspended on breaths
By Robb A. Kopp
If through power of music
Soul's rising feeling
One vibrates in
Love's voice, heavenly relief
Itself does bring.
Despite lifting the mood of
A home's atmosphere
Am still earthbound there.
Bursted, brighter smiled when this
Angel-softness hear!
On a gray
November day
I watched a squirrel
at his play.
So nimbly
around the tree
his dance was lovely
wild and free.
Towards the sky
on branches high
with winged feet
he seemed to fly.
Poor earthbound me
wished I could be
as graceful
as was he.
Memories turn to stories with time
And even happy ever afters end
Moments sift through our fingers
and dissipate devouring our lives
A tear so soft and pliable grasps the smile, the loss and the heartbreak
Pain imprisoned in a spherical salt cell
falls earthbound
and dies
Light licks it lips round earthbound raindrops
The asphalt snake glimmers and shines
with the jewels of a million stars
The rain dresses me in nature
expelled breath haunts my face
a lost spirit of dying memories
This empty husks that grasps
and struggles to hold onto
nothingness
The pretty ones are sky dwellers.
Often arrogant- highly inaccessible unless you have deep pockets.
The plain ones are earthbound and stable -somewhat compliant.
The homely are of the subterranean world.
them is aloof and complicated, largely ignored.
God says angels come in many forms.

You know him,
or perhaps
someone like him,
and average guy
a bit shy
no wings
allowing
Him to fly
Average,
says many,
but to family
He’s plenty:
Helpful
Giving
Loving
And kind
He wears
his words
on a sleeve
as his bond;
Love
and truth
His daily
motto

Here come a billion trillion pinpricks,
Earthbound in a headlong plummet,
Off my tiny window each bead flicks,
With the sparkle of a liquid comet.
Up at the pouring sky I take a peep,
And scan a city that’s much too wet,
Soon I'm lying in my king-sized bed,
By sounds of rain I'm lulled to sleep.
should the moon
retreat forever
behind a darkened sky
and all the stars
fall earthbound
without their
twinkling light
if the sun should
cease to rise
the clouds go
their separate ways
and all the birds
no longer soar
i still will
not forget you
for in all truth
i am forever yours
Earthbound renegades
Quietly nestle
Beneath mulch rugs.
Their silent vigils begin
From crouched positions
Down deep in shady glens.
Grounded in grassy glades,
Upstarts creep unnoticed
Till they stretch, fully dressed.
These vibrant visuals rise
From underground rooms
Decorating woodland floors.
Form:
Across the moats of light year spaces,
Across the dark of the earthbound skies,
Starlight leaves just the faintest traces
Collecting softly upon my eyes.
Dimmed in brilliance by the nearer moon
They are lost in distance, and dwarfed in size,
And I, like them, am in other places
And will not be back anytime soon.
My nest is emptier now by one.
Ripped a gaping hole where from the fledgling flown.
He felt the pull of open sky, brazen adventure beckoning
beyond the confines of safely folded feathers.
I trust his wings to carry him far.
I hope his courage will keep him aloft.
While my heavy hearts holds me earthbound;
I want him to soar.

Let the Pens Flow – Alliteration

Fluffy's joined the jet set
in the upper stratosphere
where the cirrus clouds are wispy
just like her touzled hair.
Is she off to Tokyo
or maybe to LA?
When dogs have joined the jet set
it's difficult to say.
But what about her carbon count?
It must be very high.
More local earthbound walkies
should reduce her need to fly.

You know her,
or perhaps
someone like her,
getting by
day to day
no wings
allowing
her to fly
Average,
says many,
but to family
her attributes
are plenty;
a kind nature
wearing a smile
for all
She carries
her heart
on the sleeve
of her words
giving freely…
a glimpse
into a love
filled soul

As christmas mounts decembers passing
we huddle in your absence.
Our eyes earthbound in aversion
of the stinging words etched upon the marble.
A solitary magpie skipping over the crystallised blades
highlights my purpose at your graveside.
Your first christmas misspent in the depths of the earths
are my thoughts as my eyes thaw the ground beneath.
