Premium Member Etched in stone

The concrete had no say
Still wet
As hearts were etched
Initialed
Left to cure
Beside the pawprints
Of a frightened kitten

With slimy cave walls
And dripping water
That lands on my back

And make my way out

Trust issues,
restrained heart 
left frightened;

Believing 
is so hard;
Aberrant;

Could someone 
just love me
without cause?

When I Still Had My Imagination

A little boy is all I am
(By the World am terribly frightened)
I refuse to grow and become a Man
When a child's mind is more enlightened

A Candle In the Storm

Candle's frightened flame
listening to loud lightning
seeks sound of silence

Swallows a huge frightened fly.

The Walking Legs

A stony land,
Ants,
And flies,
Crowded after hunger,
Lost thirst.
The heat wave,
Who frightened,
The walking legs,
Touched their aim.

When I tell my husband-"Together forever",
He  near tumble and Got a tremor.
He is so sensitive- my love,
As in a cage the frightened dove!

You have a heroic soul
  of a thousand cries kept
 in bitter joy suffered
  of so many succumbed fish,
so many shipwrecked men,
 and frightened ...

she could hear the gunman firing as his boots walked the halls

Premium Member Walks In the Park

There was an old poet named Mark
Who loved to steal walks in the park.
One day he was frightened,
A big dog did bite him.
He does nothing more on a lark.

frightened pale shadows
waltz nervously on the walls;

I saw a frightened argus pheasant 
fall out of a cloudless sky crashing
into my limpid pool
kids thought that was so cool
ah, but for him it wasn't too pleasant

Headless Horseman

The headless horseman
Appears to folk on dark nights
They scream like banshees
The black steed gallops away
Frightened by such loud noises

Premium Member Hold Tight

He hangs on
He isn't brash or bold
He hangs on
He does as he is told
He is very quiet, reserved and shy
That's why he hangs on tightly
Frightened he'll lose hold
