Life's, Love's Fervours

Timed their flash, illuminates
Esteem, heaven-high
With that, forked, quick-burning comet's;
Smoked, one eve, the sky.

Premium Member Lack of Spoons

He has a forked tongue
He shoots words like a gun
I only wished to cuddle and spoon
Found Prince Charming really a goon

Premium Member A Feast For the Eyes

the snow a clean plate
    trace rabbit tracks forked by wings~
              an owl’s repast served

A Fork To Lean On

sweet  strewn cedar shavings
Layered bedding soft in stalls
Raked and forked daily
With tender compassion 
Companion care for a horse

Red Kite

The fabulous red kite - broad wings, mighty,
Built to soar, beauteous sight !
Red tail forked, in rooftop flight,
Silently swoops for the fight.

Catching fire

Lightning in a bottle
Your lips on mine
The power of your sighs
Too busy catching
Stars 
That fell from your eyes
To notice 
The forked tongue kiss

Premium Member Life With T-Rump Xxxvi

We die-hards will never adjourn
From news stories t-rump can churn 
With tongue proudly forked
And a dick that's uncorked
He'll bone us cause we can't discern

Once Tempted

laying
looking
for a rainbow

in Eden's garden
my snake finds
a forked tree

standing before me
sap running down
her branch

tempting me
to take
a taste

Lightning forked
Its long ivory tongue
Through the rain clouds
Tasting the air like a snake

Premium Member Laurel Hell

It takes a snake’s forked tongue to kiss and tell
My Blue Ridges turned a Bitter Eden 
Of all I’ve known Love is a Laurel Hell
The lowest limb’s fruit all bruised and beaten

Collecting Chemicals

S-nake smells everything
T-hrough the tip of his forked tongue, 
C-hecking the scent's point.

Forked lightning strikes

Never on the same branch twice

Split second moment.

Premium Member Between Crosstalk Buns


Warring kiddies hiss like snakes and stick out forked tongues;
They disagree on who started the fight first; both y e l l i n g..."Liar!"
Parents fish for the truth, sandwiched between the crosstalk.

Majestic Red Kite

Graceful slow motion
         Russet ruler of the skies 
                    Soaring on forked tail.

Thunderstorm

Black as coal and moody as teenagers  
The storm steadily approaches home,
Rumbling, growing ever louder,
War-like violence above,
Shaking homes and raw nerves
As frequent flashes  
Of forked lightning
Light the sky
Soon to
Die.

The Kiss

Your eyes on mine
mine in yours
kiss me
forked lightning
hot and white
from sky to earth...

Root of flowers
springs from the earth
beneath our feet
outside a tree is full bloom...

Our garden
our heart 
flutters...

We rebuild
shattered trust....

Growth

Existent justification
denial exceeds reason

egotistical and maniacal

golden tongue 
forked intellect 

controlling and powerless

higher self 
potential serenity
 
eden slumber 
conscious oblivion

mortal, healing, cavernous
self

For His Art

Bertrand Woodrow Blandings Dade McGory,
experimental author, took the Galesburg Times
(for which he’d forked three dollars, paid in dimes)
and fed it through his blender. His agenda?
“My latest novel seems a little slender:
I needed random input for the story.”

One World What ??

As the political head snakes it's way
...........around the world,
it's tail,still lingers in the mountaintops
with a darting forked tongue,searching prey,
only one of two things can happen....
coil like a constrictor....or,
bite it's own tail,and cannibalize itself....

Darkness Ensues

Darkness ensues as his forked tongue,
Slips his sweeten lies into my mind to form delusions.
Yet I manage to
Resist and pray.
Yet I manage to
Resist and pray.
And cast away this demons leather tongue,
Into its hollow pit,
 But can I truly cast it away when it is my own.

The Snake Charmer

He dresses in robes, carefully coiffed He enters the nave, mitre is doffed He preaches a tale, to eager sheep He fleeces their wool, his tithe to keep He blesses the flock, they’ve had their fill He slithers away, forked tongue now still January 1, 2022

Premium Member The Unbroken Oak


    I stand firm as an oak tree 
   My roots are long tentacles
Strongly hooked into the ground 
    I've withstood great storms 

 I've felt mother nature's wrath 
  Lightning has forked into me
    Yet, here I stand, unbroken 
       And I'll keep standing.

Passages Inflamed

The devil a master
at quoting scripture
suited to his purpose
Words conscripted most Divine
to dance
around his fire
Forked tongue in hand
he reprimands
with passages inflamed
To burn the lives
and damn the souls
— of those his farce conspires

Harassed by forked tongue
Against treacherous rocks flung
Very nearly drowned
Eventually I found
Never-neverland~ Safe ground!

Red Kite

High up in the sky the Red Kite fly
Gazing down upon me,
Searching for pray no matter where it lay
A carcass will do for tea,
With a long forked tail and black tipped wings
Its elegance is plain to see,
It's hard to survive but still its alive
This beautiful bird that fly's free
