the fever overtook us
after our vacation week
needed a soak
soaked in each other’s skin
toweled off
grinned

then he climbed up to the top of his tree
and waited for the wind...

it was her favorite scent in month of May
a lilac daisy grinned at her
nodding its petals, in time to the music of life...

as sweet a gesture as could be.

	as she tried to hide her smile.

Depicting the leaning tower of Pisa,

And ragged butterflies bled into the earth, 
Grasshoppers cut through clouds, 
And in mounds, roses grinned their jagged teeth
Quietly tucked in satin....

He suffered from gas in his gut,
And he wiggled and grinned
As he let out his wind,
And laughed at the sound of his butt.

His sole desire, the Lord for to seek --
   Despite babes everywhere
   Never once did he stare --
He just grinned, then turned her other cheek...

neon pink, flashy blue, marigold yellow

This eve of new year.

And scratched his armpits, belching, breaking wind;

I noticed his bulge and grinned like a sun beam
Before I knew it he had taken off my shirt
And made me his orgasmic dessert

I grinned and potted up the seeds;

Larry's pointed down
Little Mary looked perplexed
Percy grinned and clowned.

Larry looked around
'Till a tree limb snagged her dress
making Mary frown....

She grinned when she perched on his lap
But he has a rude name
And it brings him such shame
Cruel parents had named him Jock Strap!

"Absorb me, accept me
O beneficent ray!"
Dawn-tranced, smiled from out one
Open-armed, standing.

"Which light, though dim, of Love
Embody's Heaven's day!"
Of that intuitive feel
Conveyed too; grinned in!...

after the incessant cry~
shed a last tear drop

the graceful sun god
perceived insipid sky's mood~
radiantly grinned

wiped out his tear drop
embraced gently, cheered him up~
the rainbow emerged...

Her black flag grinned menacingly
With hull split in two,
Her captain and crew
Now sail on the floor of the sea.

I had never seen a goat that grinned wider than Genghis Gone
His grin was something you could hang a small firefighter on
We watched him smile at the birds, the sheep and the sky.
Why is he so happy? We asked ourselves, truly wondering why....
