Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.


Jar of Memories

Bits and pieces
treasures in a jar

Shells and stones
feathers and petals

Memories and happy thoughts
of daily walks and time

Jar of Hope

I toss my pennies
in a humongous glass jar...
copper millionaire?

Hey Mister Tom Cunningham,
You are definitely the man,
Your poetic talents reaching far,
Your taste buds tantalized by a
Marmite jar!

Amethyst spell jar,
Charged beneath Full Moon Leo.
Aura quartzes rise,
Crystals cleansed by selenite.
Peacock ore shines in lit night.

lightning bugs in jar
delightful…shaken up, down
it’s another night
of memories— albums loose
family picnics; stains;  death

Don’t set a fire within me 
unless you are willing to stay; 
Passion burns and spiderwebs;
and will eventually shatter  
my glass jar of hearts.

A Jar of Olives In Brine

A jar of olives in brine…?...
Add zinger or a punchline,
Let your juicy thoughts trickle,
Let your tangy wit tickle.
The title too must be fine.

Of paper all your desires

Glass jar until you fill it
With all of your conquered dreams

The Empty Jar

When you're here
I feel ease
When you're not
I always feel
An emptiness
In my heart
Like an empty jar
The wind comes and goes
Water flows in and out
Nothing stays.

A Jar For My Soul

glass wall,
hides no fear,
twisted lid,
holds me here,
lost inside,
a crystal cage,
collecting dust,
along with age,
broken wings,
so my fears,
in this jar,
i hide my tears.

Forget the Swear Jar

I've been beaten today so now it's bed,
all the bad things run around in my head,
so while I swear up a storm
I see a familiar form...
"Hey, save the dirty talk for me," she said.

Jar

• I open the fridge and what do I see? • A jar full of mildew waiting for me • Out of the jar and into the sink • For one, the jar has mildew and smells really stink

Premium Member The Jam Jar


A small shadow
has settled upon
the glass jam jar
on the desk, amongst 
a frozen swirl
of pencils
that are waiting patiently 
for inspiration
to seize a hand
and be picked up.

Cookie Jar

Who stold my cookies out the cookie jar
Who ever you are you won't get far
  They took my big chewy chocolate chips
  I got my Ice cream all ready to mix
OOPS sorry I left them in the car

Walking many pretty beaches, picking up pebbles like peaches.
The cool water licked my feet, as the sand went through my toes. Pebbles with a peach color, jar with old pebbles.

Premium Member Jar

A jar now mutely holds washers and clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity. It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled with hopes, desires I’d saved, lost in one life.
