In the noisy forest that loomed dark, dense and dreary a python, like a dead log lay without sound.

I Was Too Busy Closing My Eyes

I was too busy closing my eyes
To notice your approach
And as footsteps loomed
I prayed they weren’t yours
So that your spell
Couldn’t charm me
Furthermore

Flowers Flowing In Field

Flowers Flowing In Field

While flowers in field were flowing;
We saw them growing and growing;
Birds loomed;
Flowers bloomed,
As through wind had been blowing.

Lost Soul

Love ended so abruptly.
Outside the winds blew cold.
Storm clouds loomed over.
Thunder shook the night.
She was out there somewhere.
Open wounds, oh so raw.
Utter desperation.
Led to the loss of life.

That Day

Remember our sorrows in dark shade
Lurking behind feelings that fade
Remember what loomed us that day
Was the way you promised to stay
While the shadows of the sunset
Casted a beguiling silhouette.

eerie shadows loomed
cackling witch on her broom zoomed...
huffing, puffing, doomed

Premium Member Hapless Tom Turkey

Thanksgiving Day loomed for old Tom Turkey

   Averting the feared axe seemed quite murky

      So he made this soulful plea

         I would much prefer that ye

            Enjoyed a feast of spam or beef jerky

Premium Member Tom Turkey's Plight

Thanksgiving Day loomed for old Tom Turkey

    Avoiding the dreaded ax seemed murky

        So he made this doleful plea

            I'd be much obliged if ye

                Enjoyed a feast of ham or beef jerky

Emotional Blackmail

blackmailing of the heart 
shakedown of the soul
regression threatened  
reversion tactics used  
estrangement loomed
extraction of emotional attachment 
gone from the world of connection  
left with nothing but memories

Premium Member Tower of Books

A tower of good books she piled high; collection grew faster than space; tower loomed behind a door. Ceiling-bound, tower was; but like all towers, what climbs; may fall. Tower fell atop her!

Premium Member At the Junction of Hope and Despair

At the desert junction
        of hope and despair
     We scanned the horizon
        to seek passage there

     Yet just when despair
       loomed ahead in the sand
     Emerged hope, our oasis
       on a prayer's caravan

Premium Member Dumpster Fire


To sell smart trash bins a man George did hire,
but loss loomed large, put him in dumpster fire.
          He promptly fired the dumb man,
          became a keen garbage fan,
saved his business going downright haywire.

Premium Member Terror Filled Me Ere I Slept

Terror filled me ere I slept,
Horrors loomed behind closed eyes.
I recalled Your promise kept;
Darkest visions turned to peaceful sighs.

Premium Member Blown About in the Wind

It'd taken root in desert sands
a cactus that never bloomed
for in its past a secret loomed...
struck down as justice demands

Left to blow about in the wind,
detached from what was real
no guilt or remorse did it feel...
just a vagabond who had sinned

Love, Lilies, Birds

LOVE Love will conquer all those who fight it...surrender to lose is to win LILIES The lilies called me I sheltered in their flowers a casket loomed close BIRDS Sirens scream at dawn helicopters in pursuit birds keep on singing

Come Sail Away

~~~
The pitch o' night her captain feared
her leeward pending doom

November's raging breath
ensnared
to daunting reef she loomed

Her belly shattered
pitched and gorged
as raging swells
reclaim

The drift of break
flew
blizzard cold
~
Come Sail Away...
her name

Premium Member Cold Day

Listen to poem:
Thistle down and mist
shrouded a valley
a chill November dusk --
a moon loomed over,
everything in halos
of pale, cold light:
no Indian Summer this...
Late geese flew, high up;
damp leaves burned slow
in an orange fire
whose smoke wraithed
straight up, in a column,
to the sky.

Premium Member Balzac ll

the braising tomorrow 
gathered beneath me
upon a silent glare 
sounded by great wealth 
unwanted unneeded borrowed 
from yesterday oh how I gazed 
above ground whimpering 
a solid tear formed from a nesting 
fear an empty sigh where love 
loomed about God's own 
galleries of hidden faith

Good Friday

Pilate:
Pilate, scared, washed his 
hands. 
A crackdown by Caesar 
loomed. 
Pharisees threatened. 

The Sentence:
Pharisees threatened. 
Jesus doomed; scripture 
fulfilled. 
Crowd shrieked: CRUCIFY!

Barrabas:
Pilate asked which one?
Give us Barabbas, all cried. 
Scripture playing out.

Shaddows

Auspicious shadows of traddtion loomed overhead                                                                          And rushed into the corners of the room
As daylight slipped away                                                                                                                 The moon

The Lights of the O-R

Dodging a bullet,
the PET Scan loomed large…
results both good and bad

“Nothing today
to worry about,”
but tomorrow left unclad

The moment secure,
the future unsure…
prognosis under siege

The lights of the O.R.
 calling his name
—with hope the last reprieve

THE VERDICT

The Feds loomed, a shadow long,
· "Guilty," the verdict, a chilling song.

· Life in prison, the sentence decreed, 
· Attorney's plea, a desperate seed.

· But fate's cruel hand, a twisted game,
· Life behind bars, forever the same.

· Plea bargained hope, a fleeting sigh,
· Replaced by chains, beneath a somber sky.

Enchanting garden grounds   
Jasmine, flora, and avion exotica    
Zeal unbounds       

Budding blooms loomed            
graphic epiphanous mecca    
Gifts groomed 

Frond blades                          
Palmed Areca                    
shades

Sleep As It Comes

Eternal Sleep of mine
Wish could come at a better time
The work still unknown
but sleep seems grown
The bitter pillar that I consumed
but truth still doomed
Perfect path I took
I was on tenter hook
Though the hopes were high
for the fog still loomed
The hoary glasses
look is unknown
I rub my eyes
Could I see the sky
But the moon seems unknown
