Unlike evergreen trees,
when the right time arrives
I will have dropped almost all my leaves
Then, nothing valuable will be found on me
by the greedily honorable thieves
?A grumpy grandpa (from Greece), gruff and gray,
is grazing on a grain of grass, graceful.
He’s grumbling that the grim grave is growing
greater and greedily greeting his grasp.
grimy gremlins gathered in a gloomy glade
giggling guzzling grapeade they’d greedily made
with gadgets gone wild
and gizmos defiled
they gambled on games with tricks they’d displayed
Bob was happy with his Mini Cooper
It drove great, making him an in-grouper.
But a hawk aloft dove speedily
Taking the car in his claws greedily.
Now Bob calls the hawk a party pooper.
Already your letter crumbles
S’s and f’s and remnants of
Harpooned words
Eaten greedily by the goblin of
Squandered adoration

Received 1st place in "A Choice of Form" contest"
I remember Mama's bread
fresh from the oven,
slathered with new churned butter,
topped with grape jelly
and dripping with love,
greedily
gulped!
Inspired by Laura's "Sweet Treat" contest
Entangled wonder of love...
Shadow filled longings
Grasping bliss
Sighing,
Laughing...
Passions
Greedily soothing desire's
Relentless, lust-filled hollow triumphs!

Wisps of flowers peek here, glance there, tremble,
Pick their way through cracks in pavement,
Duck down, feel around, then up, up
Up again: Stretch greedily.
Kiss the daylight--
At last.
SHORT-SIGHT IS NOT LIMITED TO PIGS
Swine scorn a pearl, greedily grubbing for truffles.
Their ignorant grunts are taken for granted.
They can’t see very much at all -
Pigs just can’t see beyond the next acorn.
Rivulets of ice hung greedily
to the barren, brown, basalt,
like ribbon-candy in a baby’s hand.
The sweet, wet, drool oozed from Mother Earth,
like a frozen curtain draping the mist scattered day,
hiding the promise of spring.
A hand reaches through the water.
One is greedily snatched
Beyond Death's probing grasp.
Life's gentle breath
Is coerced into sleeping lungs.
Strong, powerful hands force life.
Prayers are answered.
Destiny is revealed.
I am a cob of corn
whose husk was torn away
I have a yellow belly
I am exposed
I attract hungry crows
they peck away greedily
they come to devour my good bits
and with what little they leave behind
No men will be fed
The artist will partake greedily of his moments of solitude.
He must hurry as does a writer to put his thoughts to paper.
No time to finish a complete thought, that will have to wait!
Hurry _ before their gone!
Jot them down _to freeze forever.
MY SILLY VALENTINE
love
two struck
he timid
she so demure
chocolates proffered
reluctant acceptance
all about waistline worries
“fat or thin i’ll love you as much”
says he going down on one knobby knee
“oh tee hee” says she stuffing greedily
Bawling, blubbering
yowling, howling
crying for a day...
Weeping, wailing, whimpering
sympathy for pay
Relatives nonexistent?
No one left to care?
Snivels, sobs, tears to shed
sorrowful sordid wares
ghoulishly, greedily
auctioning
despair
Air laden
with the fecundity of spring,
sweet, powdery life brushing every
passing wing and foot stalled
on a budding stem,
receptors greedily unfurled
in vast arrays
to snare pollen dancing
on a breeze
though leaving too much
to float my way and be wasted
on a sneeze.
Winter chills air;
birds flock and feed from berries
before the famine
Sheep graze greedily;
Keen eyed buzzards pick off prey
nature's bleak beauty
When winter is done;
Birds will welcome spring and sing
for joy each new dawn
The rivulets of ice hang greedily
To barren brown basalt
Drooling downward steadily
Like ribbon candy halted
a crystal ooze assault.
Sweet sap cascading readily
frozen curtain seldom parted
clothe the breast of earth joyously
leave in mist oh mistress tart…
pierce not the lingering heart.
How blissful natures pause reigns
the vibratory hum greedily gleaned
Cicadas buzz call transport
the soft rustle of maples branches sport
The three-part tune “whip poor will”
The acorns rattle on the window sill
All of natures silent prizes
Bring joy and wonder in silent guises.
I rode across the arid desert dunes
Until I came to her oasis
Where greedily I drank
From the deep emerald pools of her eyes.

Placed 4th
She is insatiable;predatory
In business always valedictory
Sees no conflict of interest in her position
Spurns financial disclosure requisition
She strides like a colossus, speedily
Eating smaller fry greedily
Using as an opportunity every disrupter
Allowing nothing or nobody to be an interrupter
I say that I live on them,
Thrive even-
On the words..
But I am fooling myself.
You see,
They devour me
Calling me back again and again,
Forever unsatisfied.
They consume me
And I like to give-
To the words on the page.
To them, I give all I can.
And still they take.
Greedily drawing from my pen
Things I did not know.
PLASTIC THRILLS
Santa shelves his elves
a bountiful excess
of yuletide spread
NOT
your average smash
and grab so aloof
from the truth
flurriedfakes
frostedhearts
snowsinflakes
greedily snatch
bags of plastic
thrills to smash
the carnage of
consumerism

Tantalizingly teasing taunting,
Radiating rapacious rapture,
Slowly seductively seducing,
Passion pulsing pleading,
Searching seeking suddenly,
Finding fulfilling feverishly,
Greedily grabbing grasping,
Clutching clasping close,
Amorously adventuring afar,
Becoming bewitched beguiled,
Drawn dazzled dazed,
Hurriedly headed home.
Form:
Start the day
Fresh
With energy
With confidence
With hopes
With plans
With dreams
Full to the brim
So that you don't have any time
To grumble uselessly
To evaluate things too strictly
To compare greedily
Until you confuse yourself
About today, yesterday and tomorrow
And overlook today
Which should be the most important day
