Penny Pincher

If discovering
While exploring
Take the chance
To fill empty pockets
Walk to it and
Stoop down to
Place it between
Forefinger and thumb

Just When You Thought

just when you thought
you had it pinched
between thumb and forefinger
it squirmed out
slithered into a crevice
leaving a slimy trail behind
taking turns watching
the crack for eyes in the dark

Premium Member Angry Wasp

Pierced like a hot poker chip
plunging hard to the bone.
The angry wasp escapes
and I’m left with his lance
in my stubby forefinger.

She clad in modesty head to foot
He in tee shirt and jeans
Their eyes locked, absorbed in each other,
oblivious to another's presence in the bus shelter.
Felt the  intimacy of mutual affection
Her forefinger caressed a spot just above his ear
and whispered sweet words in a foreign language
Love in a language not my own.


Fleece Released

fleece trap 
heat treated fluff 
my lungs fill with the lovely stuff 
strike fear into me 
light the match with forefinger 
and a wing of a bee 
fire through my lungs
don't run let it be  
smile while the blood runs
NO don't flee 
laughter burnt flesh 
lungs like torched fought
marshmallow mesh 
do what you call caring 
while you stand still staring

Earth

I crumbled the dirt between thumb and forefinger
grit tumbled and rolled
following the grooves and fissures
of wrinkled worn hands
light seeping between my fingers
glinted off of some of the specks
like splinters of diamond
trapped within the grime
Hand slipped hand
to remove the dusted layer
and with deep breaths push
the final particles gone

When Rome ruled the world,power was king,
A freedman proudly unveiled his iron ring;
In later years of olde,
The forefinger,the preference of the bold;
The middle by the prudent and discrete
Such dignity now appears polite & so effete;
A loop upon the littlest,show a masterful mind,
The circlet on the third,one of a different kind;
Love& affection,wed as one,to bind & then remind.

It was there I waited for you Outside your office That unforgettable afternoon…. Suddenly, at a quarter to four Came a sound from the outside door In walked the princess Mi querida, Mi amor I saw you but you didn’t see me For I stood outside your periphery That’s the reason I suppose Your thumb and forefinger Dug inside your nose Holy cow! You’d a made a 49er proud

Premium Member The Rouge of Potential

God must be playing marbles with the planets...
It's Earth's turn to be in the palm of his loving hand.
For millennia, mankind had its chance at the loom.
Endless wars, lust, and greed are all he could weave.
Now we're perched between God's thumb and forefinger.
Soon he'll flick us to the outer edges of his patience.
Branded a cold and hopeless snot ball of darkness.
As he reaches for another sphere, rouged with potential.

I rubbed the tips
      of my thumb
and forefinger together
       to accentuate 
            the scent
she had left behind
as she flew away home;
     held it to my nostrils
            and inhaled
      the musky scent
              of 
     green bell peppers.
Her house was not
         on fire
or children all gone
       but she
    opened
her ruby red carapace
       spread her
   lacy wings
left her
      smell of fear.

Writers Cramp "abridged Version"

I once wrote a poem when i felt really cynical 
  all the letter's had pointed sharp edges. 
 
another time i wrote a poem about a drunk dyslexic
 it read in mumbles from right to left. 

and this one time i wrote a poem about 
a pen that had internal bleeding, it leaked words 

when slanted between the thumb and forefinger
 it filled pages  of notebook's, and ruined 

many a pair of pants in the wash, 
 but i dried it in the dryer and now it is dead.....
