no web spun spider

tart tongue aimlessly flicking

  ~ licked, lacking bulls-eye...

flicking tail stirs reeds
water surface swells and ebbs -
trout chases dinner...

Regally she turned her head
Flicking her tongue into the morning mist
Tasting cologne in the wind
She gracefully galloped into the woods...

You were successful
At flicking 
All of your 
Boogers away
Until you met me
And
Ate one

Sir Henry was smoking cheroot
Stark naked in his birthday suit
But he did something rash
When he's flicking his ash
His pubes are no longer hirsute!

f you wait long enough, things will surely start clicking
Your elbows, your knees and your eyes will start flicking
You'll bump into doors
Trip on things on the floor
But everything's okay as long as ye ole heart keeps on ticking...

If you wait long enough, things will surely start clicking
Your elbows, your knees, then your eyes will start flicking
You'll bump into doors
Trip on things on the floor

where is that blasted farmer?
for our pull? pull? pull?...

drizzling maple leaves full glory 
young intense reader does not mind
She is engrossed in the story
Which is one of a curious kind

The chipmunks are scolding.
Squirrels are on a walnut hunt find
There is a picnic lunch ready
Mice are sniffing, ready to dine....

In the dark when I cannot sleep
I reach for the books that I keep
on the locker beside my bed.
Flicking the pages soothes my head.

It's your baby books my dears.
Guaranteed to bring me cheer.
Sweet memories bring sweet slumber.
I dose as your names I murmur....

 Leaping into the fog of night
chirps brightly , acapella
to awaken an instant thrill
with moistened wing-pads flicking--
a bug wiggles like a ribbon
caught now in my glassy jar!

Balassi Stanza: 
Show

Applying mascara,
Hiding a real era,
Flirt with everyone you know. 
Smile with your lipstick,
Get some money real quick,
Do your best, take it slow.
Eyes flicking nervously,
"Missy, please service me,"
Tonight, put on a good show....

How 
quickly
they scurry
each November
among ancient oaks.
Jaws holding the treasures
they hoard in domestic holes.
Flicking bushy tails while finding
acorns and cones in woodland delis.

Unhurried, loose, easy 
Meandering, forlorn pathway 
Nightfall, greatness
Scenes, unfurl in obsess
Strolling byway, late day sounds
Dazzling splendors surround 
Among squeaking treetops crowned 
Seeing falling leaves, flicking 
Glimmering mist, crickets ticking 
With heavy steps, leisurely, plodding...

More precious than crystalline trances
are singular experiences flicking 
on my mind, a spill of alabaster, chrome
and pumice-like moments with you flow back-
In rampage and elation I wander lonely
through our stardust of intricacies blown off.

The witch formed a little niche.
A place to hide her flicking switch.
A hiding crevice where others would not look.
Her own private daring cranny nook.

Other witches tried to pry and see
Her spell book and switch unique to thee
But her niche was hidden by the deep blue sea
She laughed at their efforts with a tee hee hee...

There it goes again,
off into a tantrum,
hurling blow upon blow
of breakers against the rocks,
tearing itself apart 
into a fitful foam 
of rage.
Come tomorrow,
or the next, it will calm down
to a gentle lapping
of the pier, flicking out
a watery tongue 
like a child
licking a poppsicle
as if nothing
had happened....

a rattler flicking its 
split tongue...gathering
chemical messengers~ Prairie Dog
without a prayer

vulture, periscope downward
navigates a granulate sea, 
follows the wavering flow of tracks~
just over a grilling crest his meal
falls, pauses and pauses and pauses

he waits a bit longer on the sun, dinner
sun-baked and organic

Sue found an impossible task,
To ‘excavate’ wearing her mask,
Now Sue cannot linger,
With her little finger,
To abstain has been a big ask

Since childhood Sue’s ‘explored ‘her nose,
Her secret’s one nobody knows,
Sue’s now stopped the picking,
The licking and flicking,
It’s down to covid I suppose.

Rhinotillexomania’s a fear of nose picking
But some children like picking and flicking
I don’t like snotty noses
Wiped on my nice clean ‘clothsies’
But it sure beats kids picking and licking!

A quiz question was what is Rhinotillexomania... of course I had to google and find out the answer hence the poem!

Flicking channels on the television,
how may we enliven moment of shift?
Diving into subconscious mind's scission,
feeling of lack causes us to so sift
through illusions trying to envision
flavour of the moment, that will uplift
joy in our heart, that it may feel fulfilled,
albeit momentarily, as willed.

Nonchalant, casual, easy 
Meandering, desolate, roadway
Shadows in obscure, certainty 
Grandness, scenes, unlay
Strolling byway in blackness 
Brilliant qualities, encompass  
Strolling in darken, nightness 
Among squeaking timber-tops, echoing
Seeing sparkly, spotlight, flicking 
Glimmering striplights, ticking 
In relaxed, trudging,  dusk walking...

Ancient graying wood of
Canted posts
Swaying yellow grasses
Dance across
Rusty flaking barbed wire
Containing no more
Than a fading image
Of flicking horse tails
And stomping hooves
Still dutifully clasped 
Connecting the rotting rails
A single coil of braided metal
Holds fast to the
Gate
Which now swings only shadows
Across a dying field
Forgotten...

you are watching
paying attention
is that how it is done

start with a kiss
working your way down
will her screams fill the air

in a dark room
seeing with your hands
can you find the right spot

licking flicking
articulate tongue
will a word be spoken 

moaning loudly 
fire deep inside
is his hose long enough

bending backwards
gymnastic marvel
will she earn perfect 10...
