Short Lunges Poems

I’m stuck in a whirlpool,
Lost, confused, alone
Where am I heading?
To the bottom of this pool,
A blackhole,
All air leaves my lunges...

she is star of the light show
in the ocean so deep full of delight
winking her luminous self into his water’s depths
he marvels at her willingness to shine...

Alligator attacks prey
Lunges out of the bayou
Loud head slap
Intense jaw clamps down
Gripping death roll
Another muskrat say good bye
Tail spin immobolized
On it's way down
River bottom cries....

A summer evening lunges eagerly 
Singing in an iridescent color 
Trampling mindly, in quiet cheerfulness
While autumn, longing, cries thunder 
In chilly night air, truculently
Daylight stands proud with present glow
Soon snowflakes will begin to fall
And angels dance in moonlight show...

Snow cascades from the tall pines,
Large powder puffs
Puff down in soft lunges,

Descending to earth,
Subdued incidence,
A sort of soul for January.

They do not have words for it.
If they are wordless,
So, finally, are we.

It is as if they would say
What we say,
I mean what I say by being....

ANGER


Lunges out to tear the
Flesh from bad behavior;
Clawing, ripping the dripping
Entrails from arrogance and 
Selfishness :  its shaggy coat
Bright red with the blood of wanton
Callousness; its foaming muzzle
Snapped into the throat
Of malice and deceit.

               Don’t make me angry...

Large muscular strong cat
Labeled as king of beasts
Lives in grassland in pride
Lavish mane crown male dons
Lumbers elegantly
Labors hunting in night
Lunges at prey’s neck.

You cleanse my soul with your unspoken words
You are the blood that keeps my heart beating
You are the air that fills my lunges so I can breathe 
You are the food that feeds my soul
You are my eyes so that I can see
You are my ears that hear unspoken words
You are the truth that uncovers lies
Your beauty is in my hands so others can see
You are my Poetry!...

there’s something 
about lit night
which  cleans 
pang of  farewell 

like a  healing balm,

quite potent
in times
when despair
lunges
at raw veins:

yet hope flames

to sing with new moon
and greet fresh enchantment
blest-

as loss grants rebirth.

She lay beneath the moonbeams pure
on midnight dew kissed grass.
Nestled in the forest foliage
her beckoning eye allures.

Rhythmically writhing on the blades 
her sultry sway did tantalise.
Enticing me to lust driven stupor
she summoned my submission.

Straddling one to tittilation,
mounting me she lunges forth.
My mortal flow warm on her lips

So fades the waxing moon....

Lavished Lioness 
Lunges with quietness
Leaks love, inspired with...
Hunger
It aches her when in slumber
It takes her under
Straddling starvation
now just preying on prayers
stuck in a safari of slayers
The hectic hunt continues
Various emptiness in the same venue
Deadlands. Dead things
Then she sees a man.
Lavished Lioness
Lunges with Quietness
sinks her teeth inspired with
Fresh Meat....

Spider Entomophagy Hungry Spider

the tattered web spun
acrobat insects lunges
eight-legged insect

yonder past my web
yum! Entomophagy
come fly i'm hungry

wander by don't fall
i'll throw you a line hold on
the tattered web spun

acrobat insect 
before you hit the ground I
I will bite you up

place you in my mouth
spun a web encasing you
yum! Entomophagy

Watching tennis is a treat
When those who are elite compete
With lunges, leaps and smashing serves
That rise above mere mortals' nerves.

Such slicing shots, such smashing drops,
Near-misses when the heart just stops;
They race around the court so fast
As if each point might be the last.

We sit at home, on couch or chair
And catch the action on the air.
To me, no sport is quite as sweet
As watching tennis pros compete....

Belligerent bulldog blows up balloons, bulbous and blue.
Frantic frenzied flamingo flips for a flute and a flu.
Persnickety porcupine prances perilous with pooh,
Concerned calico cat coaxes a cardinal’s carnival coo.
Daredevil dolphin diligently designs dalmatian dog’s hairdo.
Serendipitous skunk sashays toward sticky sweet stew.
Lavishly laborious lion lunges into little linguistic loo.
Youngish yak yells and yips at yellow bellied you....
