Traces

What trace
Of fish madness
Remained
When trout
Leaped
And
Frothed
The water,
Mayflies
Brushed away
In silence.

spawn leaped from the page
splashing, rollicking awhile
swimming headlong up
a stream of consciousness to
generate ideas -- exits.

      Autumn’s first colorful leaf 
        leaped at my feet

     Though I am no longer excited
       by bold promises, false pretexts

He leaped like a ghost from his bed.
But finding no wings
Supporting of things,
He fell like a mortal instead.

Fear the Monkey

Once upon a time in a zoo,
a monkey leaped and yelled BOO!
In a fright, I fell down
now I'm leaving with a frown...
I'm wondering who entertains who?

I never meant to love, my dear.
You just sort of leaped,
Like a springtime frog,
Into my forever yes.
Oh happiest of days!
We shall never be lonely again.

My Favorite Date

I stared into your eyes
as we said our goodbyes
in the short hours of the night
my heart leaped at the sight
standing at my back door
you left me wanting more

Fire!  Fire!

I heard the neighbors shouting.

I leaped from my bed

Naked, and grabbed my pants,

fearing the ladies would laugh.

The Kiss

I leaped on board
A passing train.
Caught my fingers
On a fleeting refrain.

Pulling up hard,
And fell back, leaden.
For a kiss that lingers,
I would do it again.

Horse Loved Leaping High

Horse on his legs had leaped high,
Up into cool and crisp Carolina sky;
Fine maine flowing,
While also glowing;
Soft clouds which God would supply.

Last Laugh

I should have looked before I leaped
now I have been left in a lurch
by my lily-livered boyfriend,
but I'll have the last laugh
when he see his laundry
in a lovely shade of pink.

The boredom leaped into the wind _flew
Upon the summer clouds reaches the blue
Flies upward joining buzzards circling ring
So boredom's limits somewhat now askew

In the old graveled alley, overgrown with weeds, at footfall, locusts sprang and leaped, triggering a riot. But soon their swelling motion subsided like fried popcorn on a skillet.

Landing In Hay Loft

Landing in Hay Loft

Seeing some agony often put off;
Go ahead and play a round of golf;
Did not die,
Or ever cry;
Leaped to death landing in a hay loft.

Premium Member The Hurricane

The hurricane leaped onshore
dancing with delight
unhinging the tops of buildings
releasing them into the air
like balloons
whose knots are untied
then kicking the hapless battered bottoms 
far down the road
before spinning madly on

Much Too Close - TB


The frog leaped high!
Closed each eye tight
when I crouched down.

My face too near...
without fear...he
headgear became!

Premium Member To Shine so Bright

   The past year I lit many candles
     Some burned all night
     Other's flames leaped high
       They all went out, by-and-by

   The year to come 
      I shall light only one
      to shine so bright
                    the whole year long

The Turkey

She tried cooking a turkey
On Thanksgiving Day but
That funny turkey wanted to play 
So, he opened up the oven door
Then leaped out onto the floor
He even danced all around
Acting like a silly clown
The guests ran and screamed
Then thought it was a dream

Straight Up Into Green Pines

the majestic northern elk pierced by the archer's swift arrow through the forest divine deep into the heart it shatters the elk leaped over the river's flow oh what matters straight up into green pines yes he shall go to thine oh Lord he shall not die

All For You

The sky rumbled
The wind whispered
Trees swayed
Leaves rustled
Birds happily flew around 
The sea bubbled 
Faster waves raged
Vessels swayed
Fishes joyfully leaped
From the blues you surfaced
Such a heavenly sight you formed 
That I fell, tumbled and rolled
All for you.

Old Friend

My heart leaped the moment I met you
My soul rejoiced at seeing an old friend 
My heart sang a song 
A beautiful melody 
My soul remembered the words 
My heart danced to this song 
My soul remembered every step 
My heart remembered you from long ago 
My soul never forgot

Urban Leaves

Urban Leaves,
Fall from the tallest of branches.

Industry Autumn,
Shaking off old to make new room.

Factory Fauna,
Once so green they have faded.

Urban Leaves,
They are left brown & shattered at the tree's base.

Poor barren tree, so many leaves leaped.

Spring soon comes.
