Hot sand and bare feet
A long way back to the car
Run fast as you can...

broken flip flop rests
outside sandy castle walls
perhaps, the clouds break...

In my Haikus
Weeping clouds debuts
Shaped like flip flop shoes

Dodo has wings but can't fly.
Flimflam wings flip flop flutter,
Flapping flimsy flight feathers
Fails to get lift off...

Listen to poem:

Drip drop, splish splat, flip flop,
tick-tock, drops like clock,
chimes click away
as ice thaws
dribble
jots

All other than serious verse, bogus;
He doesn’t believe in any hocus- pocus.
Ideals! He’d never drop;
But see the funny flip- flop,
Finally, limerick is his focus....

Flip-Flop
Spin a top
Feel a drop
Taste the rain
Weather Vane
What a pain
Dripping light
Falling bright
Wet tonight
Flip-Flop

Boom Bam 
Get down, Get up 
Thank you, ma'am 

Riddle me that 
Riddle me this 
Where you at?

Full moon round 
Sun up 
Then it goes down 

Flip Flop 
Tick Tock 
Soon it stops...

The dull clack of flip-flop slaps,
describes the taste of my water--
The smell of unscented candles,
like last night's forgotten dream--

Never cease my heart's percussion.

Attacked by a Big Mac,
With special sauce.
It flew out of his grasp,
Then landed flip flop.
Right there on the grass.
All was lost, had to toss.
Attacked by a Big Mac,
And slippery special sauce....

Judith S... my latest heartthrob in the group
She crosses my eyes, my heart does loops
Tickles my teeter totter
Call me a naughty plotter
But one day gonna flip flop in her delicious Soup...

Life, a mount, full of rage,
What a path, like a cage,
Earth, a ball, on the fish,
Mute and silence, wish
Slippy, fickle back, like a ray,
What a ride, milky way!   
Fishy ball, on the horn
On the fish we all born....

Seesaw
Flip flop

Upside
Down go

Switch on
Turn off

Nothing
Between

One or
Zero

No if's
Or maybe's

Black white
Day night

No dawn
No dusk

Binate
Just state

Love me?
Hate me?

'Tis Which?
Choose one!...

Outlined by the sea;
A soft silhouette 
leaving residue 
to find your way back;
No matter how lost;

The stars rival 
the darkest sky 
reflecting a 
galactic map;

Flip flop lights;
A beacon 
will guide you;

Home will 
never 

fade....

Flip flop sundrop
Drizzle wezzle
Slurp salerp, lollipop

Clinging, clangy rain
Rally tallie, klump
Palump arump, a drain

Eee wee fleed
Ddown around a mound
Fillie, Wilkie and me

Skip, slip and slide
Muggadubble, mud
Plop drop popp slop, inside...

Flip flop look what’s landed on top
Straight out of the barbershop
Bald head’s a bowling ball
Leg up high for aerial
Come swift stumbling to a full stop

Flip-flop,flip-flop!

flip-flop,flip-flop!

a steady beating cadence

most annoying at times

whether from a distance

worse yet,when fast approaching

gives one cause to grit their teeth

until the noise moves on

becoming more and more silent

with each progressing

flip-flop,flip-flop....

Doors lock
Tick tock
Sandman creeps
Children sleep
Flip flop
Easter bunny hops
Tired legs
Deliver eggs
Colorful decorations
Beautifully crafted creations
Glorious sun rises
Children seek surprises
Baskets galore
Little hearts soar 
Send up thanks and prayers
Celebrate how deeply our Savior cares...

Like the beauty hidden beneath the brook
It’s the simple dimples that make me smile
Or is it the drop of a drip 
Off an old black bear’s back 
As he chases the flip flop 
Of a Brook Trout
Or is that the Big Brown
As he marks the beginning of the Hex hatch.

By lakeside path
Breeze strays enough


Wind hurls dry leaves
As gifts to give


I walk on by
Attend to sighs


A stray thought finds
Sans peace of mind


A lone tear drop
Ends my flip-flop


I come to meet
The fear I greet


No much is said
With silence paid

o man amen club soda you taste good at two in the morning
i am going back to my dreams and tomorrow earl gray
or I'll switch to coffee with toast
all my life I twirled a question and so I peel a banana
and squeeze an avocado good night after a pee
looking for flip flop where are my sandals or sundial
as not einstein I have an accent...

Hot City Days

Hot city days
summer's ablaze
in bricks of concrete
and flip flop feet.

Just keep cool
in a hydrant pool.
The block’s a bash
if kids can splash.

Great water fun
in scorching sun
can bring a smile
to any child.

Grown-ups look on
as though they long
to drench in droves
right in their clothes.

Time sloshes back and forth.
A rubber flipper
once lost off the Normandy coast,
briefly surfaces.

Off the Bognor Regis coast
one sand-encrusted flip-flop floats by,
it escaped years ago.

There are krill
nibbling at my floating mind.

I may have to snorkel
further
before the sun comes up -

the jellyfish
are stealing my stuff again.
