Short Flinched Poems

Feverish flowery flippant freakish fantailed floozy who needed grounding
Flimflammed, flashed, flipped and flinched a fabulous frugal foundling
Fortuitous flexible frazzled French flamingos flash-mobbed a fernlike finch
On Friinge of this freakish failed flopped frenzy, I received a friendly pinch....

How can stars be there?
I am blind in slush,flinched
From the vagrant wind
Wafting the fog's kiss
To wiz tree down the ravine
Tucked in by the fells
Where kinda moon drops
Souse eerie pebbledashed face
Of me to recoup.

A RAIN OF FEELINGS
By Dana J Brown


I touched her arm,she flinched.
It started raining.
I glanced in her eyes, she turned away.
Rain ran down my face.
I spoke to her ,she ignored me.
The sky turned darker.
She turned away ,and left me.
The rain came harder ,the thunder roared.
Is it a tear in my eye, or just the rain?...

I sat… still as a cold stone wall

I was there

In the golden woods

A world of the unknown.

 I sat…

With my gun as black as night

As a graceful tawny doe ran by

I sat…

As I shot it

It flinched and its spirit fled

So I sat…

On the warm golden forest floor

And cried.

This is my first poem!! Please, tell me what you think....

Maybe, I was starting to think that
I didn't miss you as much as I thought.
But then I saw your name.
It was just suddenly there.

And my breath caught,
Heart stopped,
Chest thumped,
Knees locked,
Eyes stung,
Mouth shut,
Head ached,
Tongue stuck,
Hand flinched,
Toes curled,
Skin froze,
Blood burned.

Who am I trying to kid?
I miss you more than ever....

Her childish sweetness,
And murmuring twinkle eyes,
Visionary awaiting dreams,
 Passing through her destination,
Where coldish accompany,
Enjoyed peace to blast time,
Heart palpitated gossips,
Lips were thrilled,
Arms had jumping,
To climb embrace, 
As,
A bird was flinched into a net.
And trying to across the boundaries,
When,
You touched my initiate stance,
I realised,
Something is hiding me....

Took an assertiveness training class in 1981
Did not do well
Failed it

Swiftly went from passive to agressive
during six scenarios
left bunch of people lying on the floor moaning

they could never explain the difference between assertive and agressive to me. They tried. Believe me they tried.
I stepped over them gingerly
and demanded my money back from the secretary
who cringed and flinched when she saw me coming....

GLACIAL
Scent of lilies. 
His pain over, mine just begun.
I caressed those hands, gifted, loving.
Kissed his waxen brow.

A blink away from the dying sun,
the ignition key trembled.
I half-expected to waken, 
clasped in his arms. Soothed 
back to life, on the mourning  air. 

Our silent house stood strong, 
and healthy,
ticking away lonely hours and empty nights.
While I flinched from the glacial steppes,
of our marital bed.


DECIMA WRAXALL...

I never flinched with I felt
the needle sink
into my skin.
Love is for masochists
and I was tattooing an image
of Forever in my mind.
Even when the tears stained
like blood
on my bed sheets and pillowcases,
I pushed through the pain.

And now silence somehow fills
the spaces where
“I love you”s danced much too freely
and for far too long.
These thoughts of us
are nowhere close to killing me yet;
they chain my limbs,
only binding me to
you
more than ever....
