Afternoon storm

A clap of thunder
Engines roll up
A gravel mountain road
Leads nowhere to go
War dogs on the prowl
With a  on the back

lifting gravel from beneath a bare sky,
lit only by the light of the moon pulling waves fast,

Gravel

I saw her 
I wanted her
I seduced her


Afterwards,
the lust in my heart
turned to gravel 

I choked on it

lays upon grave gray gravel —

Orange sign weeps stone,
Jagged echoes float upward,
Gravity spins out of tune.
Silent mountains melt,
Crag and gravel softly drift,
Time forgets the falling road.

Grungy

In the eyes of evil I can 
only see you,
Clouds in a sky full of 
truth,
Instincts remain and 
need to be freed,
A river of gravel and 
greed that need to be 
seen.

Premium Member Summer In the Country

Berries on a vine
in bright sunshine.
Gravel on a road.
A fat green toad
glistens in the light,
waits for cool of night,
croaks one flat note
only frogs could quote.

Plane

Part of me hugs the air for travel
Let's with gravel claim a cloud-
Aim'd I to hook our love to the sky
Neutral she dissolves truth of amore reign
Ever now our waves decline a meet

Premium Member Visit Me Today If You Dare

Gravel in the driveway and my feet are bare.
There is a pandemic of pollen wafting in the air.
I am chilling and there is Covid-19 in my hair.
Come and visit me sometime – today if you dare!

Thought That I Had About Travel

Thought That I Had About Travel

There is this thought I had about travel;
Could be on mountainside or on gravel;
Sights seen;
Some serene,
While mind with thoughts would unravel.

Premium Member Who's Giving Thanks?

he thankfully grazed on gravel and grass 
then suddenly heard the deafening blast
	now rests with fruits and nuts–
	gravy boat floats his guts–
and sausage dressing's stuffed up his crevasse
