Premium Member Nothing Can Stop You

Extant exertion will loom you to the upcoming hurdle. Favoring the ideal stance might empower you to hurtle.

Happy Birthday,To God Be the Glory

Suddenly she is all grown up
Time to declare I am over the hill
as I hurtle down, filled with
gratitude; a spring in my step

I am a suitor again;a paternity suitor
filled with thanksgiving and joy
The providence of God delights me
on the birthday of my daughter,Tanya

All In the Cause of Rhyme

They all said it was absurd
To go and invent a word 
I do it all the time
In cause of a rhyme
And now my secret is shared.

There was a Mock Turtle called Myrtle
Who once fell off a cliff and got hurtle
She said it was hell
With a cracked shell
‘Cos the water leaked in with a spurtle.

Turtle Hurtle Sat On a Myrtle

Turtle Hurtle sat on a myrtle
                                       And Waving kisses to Mrs. Startle
                                                   Startle fell apart
                                                  Lost her a la carte
                                       Old Startle had nothing to smartle

Premium Member My Friend Steve

My friend Steve is a purple turtle,
He is my oldest friend.
His large house makes him hurkle,
no, Steve will never hurtle. 

He has a family, they too are purple,
I am an elephant, but they let me into their circle. 
We walk a lot, I stomp and he hirples,
We are friends forever, me and my purple turtle.

Premium Member Innocent, Unsuspecting, Incredulous

Eyeing its prey from its perch above
  it swoops in on its target
inserting its poison and darting away
  its imperiled victim blissfully unaware

Innocent, unsuspecting, incredulous
  that one creature would attack another
on this lovely exoplanet, AS796324xe
  as it/we hurtle irrevocably 
         ~ into the nether regions of nothingness

Premium Member A Shared Sweet Tooth

The playful nature of love
need not be always a scheduled 
match, something to be said for the
spontaneity of butterfly kisses, 
fluttering lips and tip-toeing
fingertips, as a child approaches
a cookie-jar at midnight, the
cat-like hurtle of stool and
counter, a cupboard with bells
and whistles, the Cookie Master
having had fond insight, a shared
sweet-tooth of a game….

The Eternal Tourist

I pondered on the firmament

Wondering where comets went

They seem to be in some cosmic race,

As they hurtle around in outer space.

A beautiful sight upon the eye

When they grace a starlit sky,

But it must be strange indeed

Eternally going at full speed,

In endless orbit, on and on

Off into the far beyond,

To places we will never see

Touring, for eternity.

Traveling Light

Unburdened by mass,
star born 
photons
hurtle
through vacuum voids.

They reach a planet
where green continents swim 
in blue oceans.
It is night. A woman
looks up at the sky.

The photons travel
through the gelatinous matter
of her eye and die
on her retina,
sparking electric pulses 
that race 
along the optic nerve,
and her miraculous brain
translates:
I see a star.

on resistance

Living a fourteenth century life in twenty first
waves of electro-magnetic circles
unstuck stuck resistance to unruly burst
fierce as a tiger ready to hurtle
mind making excuses in rehearsal 

Scarcity a dominant stubborn thought
Freedom’s silent scream inside remains naught
Faith strong calls no craving or aversion 
Honesty and Courage together taught
manipulation flies, a dispersion

Forsooth and forlorn ferocious I fried,

Before Bibawhack, my baboon bastard's bride. 

To teachy thee a truth,  Ye took And Ye tried…

On yon odorous oxters [as the ocean tide.] 

Guarengriddle Green, elope, elope.  Makes watery- eyed.

So send it soft, send it soon, spittle spot, easily spied.

Him and she, Her and He hurtle and hide…

Disenchanted, disabused, deceased I died.

Snow Warrior

As white flakes 
  hurtle down 
from the sky 
  A warrior rises 
from the ground 
  Made of snow 
he walks gingerly 
  down the road 
We see him with 
   mixed emotions 
Since fear mixed with 
   amazement and joy 
The Snow Warrior 
  visits our time
and "belongs to eternity"
His joy is our joy 
His fear is our fear 
Winter brings out the best in may 
And brings the Snow Warrior 
a being we cannot 
   do without

Premium Member Whitewater Rafting

Purple shadows drift beneath the gray sky forge
Mists dipping into verdant valleys like quicksilver
Skimming the rapids where we hurtle downriver
Through seething whitewater of New River gorge
     Hurtling toward narrow waters of the Gauley
     'Neath the bridge to form the Kanawha mighty.

My Celestial Sled

I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could
Attach to it a sled.

I'd hurtle through the universe
Such things would I see,
Planets never seen before
And distant galaxies.

I could watch a super nova
Dodge pulsars cosmic rays,
And marvel at planetary rings
As I toured the milky way.

I could fly through a nebula
As on and on I sped,
Then shoot off to infinity,
Aboard my celestial sled.

Premium Member Broadway Melodies

I find myself humming Broadway melodies, suddenly bursting into "I'm as Corny as Kansas in August," and "Wind Sweeping Across the Plains," while the miles disappear behind me, and slight hints of dusk appear on the distant horizon as I hurtle toward "Some Enchanted Evening," beneath the clean white sheets of a sterile room in an expensive Holiday Inn Suite a long, long way from South Pacific and Oklahoma!
