Premium Member Freep, the Icky Tick

There's something on my hand.
Get it off! Get it off!
It bit onto me and
I've hid it with my cuff.

Its face is buried deep.
Sucking blood! Sucking blood!
I've named it Fractious Freep
It looks like a Milk Dud.

Premium Member Poetic Chop Sticks

The muse has no fingers
Possesses no internal abacus
Cannot fathom fractious patterns

…take one word from line A
And two from line B
Skip line C
Use it as line D
Drop C into C

With six you get Egg Roll

It’s A Snap Limerick Written: by Tom 2-7-2020 When things come too easy I call them a snap, Though some require donning my thinking cap. When sometimes confused, over perchance being used, I overcome the fractious and take a victory lap.

Cat Nap

Fractious feline
sensuously stretching, 
languorously lying,
soporifically slumbering
(monocularly monitoring).

Meandering mouse! 
Tail twitching...
tautly tensing...
Predatory pounce!
Salubriously surfeit!

     I too have become the
         truculent knave
             fractious
              oh yes 
                testy
              peevish
             so cranky
     for the winter hides
           the flower's
               bloom
                 yes
        from mine eyes

Premium Member Autumn Memory

Autumn saunters in
Silent as a new spring breeze
Stirring fallen leaves
Blanketing a cold worn earth
A year of greenery molted

Brisk wind dips treetops
Naked arms stretch fractious
Shivering in the chill
Creaking, groaning with cold ache
Arthritis here now till spring

Fearing Fratricide

Freddy filched Frankie’s fav’rit fudge,
fearless Frankie flattened Freddy to the floor.
Father Fletcher fearing fratricide
fastened Frankie’s feet
firmly to the farmyard fence while friends
fixed Freddy’s fractious frame
fast to the family Ford.

Knittings

two tyburns 

anxious
specious
precious
righteous
When they released anxious, specious hate,
they woke to a precious, righteous state.

pious
gracious
callous
fractious
Potentially pious, gracious souls
were redeemed from callous, fractious roles.

Gateway To Hell

Tales of sacrificed fear on scared tortured terrain wild strengths smoldering beneath tantrums of the fractious. Gateway opens, rocks vault, liquids spew fires burn and soil creep Vented anger, terrifyingly unleashed scarped lands and chard boulders tinged bushes, strewn trees flowed hard blackened beds
Gateway to Hell, Masaya volcano, Nicaragua.

Paws

my mother had cool paws and long fingers
she could have been an artist
but she reserved her love
for an infant

she would play a merry tune
with my chubby fingers and toes
while singing like an irish harp

perhaps your mother
was as talented as my mother
I bet she played peekaboo’
just as well as my mother did

but my mother
had cool paws and long fingers
and when i was but a fractious toddler
she would play the bagpipes
until i would
in desperation
yell
ENOUGH!
