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...

is grazing on a grain of grass, graceful.

greater and greedily greeting his grasp....

giggling guzzling grapeade they’d greedily made
with gadgets gone wild
and gizmos defiled
they gambled on games with tricks they’d displayed...

It drove great, making him an in-grouper.
But a hawk aloft dove speedily
Taking the car in his claws greedily.

S’s and f’s and remnants of 
Harpooned words
Eaten greedily by the goblin of
Squandered adoration

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....
