Once there was a colorful bird
A parrot repeating what’s heard
Really was all fun
Till it heard a gun
Mimicking sounds so disturbed

Yellow lions in the grass
Mimicking the sun.

Moon sparks float above the
meadow of golden blooms,
mimicking marmalade
mists of healing, and the
magical muse of a
mellow field, adorned with
mosaic hues of hope.

tumbling
in the
spiritual air

your seamless

slicing through
the wind

Premium Member Fireflies

They’re out after dark
carrying their own night lights,
flickering, flashing.
Mimicking the distant stars
beneath a rocking chair moon.

Sleeping In

There's a joy about sleeping in,

Like some delightful little sin,

The world tries to deny.


Wrapped up in a warm comfy bed,

Mimicking the rest of the dead,

Forced to arise with a sigh.

Premium Member middle school girl imitators

middle school
girls become imitators
copying mannerisms and styles
mimicking those they admire
often losing their own identity for a year or two
sad pretenders, not living up to themselves yet

Xanadu

absent being 
claiming deliverance 
even fearful gratitude 
has its jaws knitting lies
mimicking, never opening
prying questions, rigid statements 
tallying up versions
Xanadu waits (for you)

Premium Member PRAISING A MOCKINGBIRD

Autumn wings grace the stout limbs, 
That quiver with the perching 
Of mimicking mockingbirds.
Amid a lone live oak tree, 
A bachelor sings to its 
Intended in an endless
 Ebony Garden of stars.

Baganda

They bake in the sun
until their skin is a blueish black
their stomach mimicking the moon
flour, yeast, water, almost a bread makes
they, are the salt of the earth.

Premium Member Puppies

Pouncing on all that moves
Playfully mimicking all we do
Purposely frolicking and care-free
Pretending to mind, but only for food
Panting for all your attention
Protesting by squeals and barks
Purporting to have our hearts

Premium Member autumn haiku

the sun throwing shade
the leaves all turned and they left
the sky remains blue

the sun cast shadows
the leaves are turning colors
the sky lightened blue

the sun bled gold mauve
the leaves mimicking the sun
the white sky falling

Premium Member Shadows

Shadows hide behind the trees
Mimicking their shape.
They sway and bend in perfect time
But never can escape.

Caught for all eternity
The only time they're missed
Is when the sun goes into hiding
Then they don't exist.

Fiyameta

Moving silently without direction
Like an old Saint 
Quick yet perturbed
Mimicking a malnourished child 

A silhouetted figure in the dark
Slithers across the curve of the Earth 
While the dewdrops gather at their pruned toes
Just to find 
You.

Rain's Regret

Tiny Shards Of Ice
Bouncing Off The Ground 
Like Shattered Glass
Mimicking The Sound
Yearning to Be Snow
Intricate As Lace
Instead..Micro Mirrors
Searching For A Face
Hoping To Flutter, Float
Dart Like A Bee
Sorry Little Raindrop
'Tis Not Cold Enough
To Be

Inside stirm

Rumbling flows inside my very essence. 
Storms on the inside, mimicking tornados on the outside.
Feelings of despair flooding out the hope that is in my heart.
Pain leaving darkened footsteps behind.

Premium Member Mockingbird Dreams

What can she do, it's 12am:
a dripping faucet, ticking clocks,
mockingbirds mimicking crickets.
An elephant never forgets

these things and all that she regrets:
mockingbirds mimicking crickets,
a dripping faucet, ticking clocks --
What can she do? It's 12am.

                 sneaking, mimicking, observing, touching

The Edge of Life

The Heron stands motionless
feathers mimicking the leaves
of slowly swaying saplings

its stoic Buddha pose
silent in its presence
conflicts with its purpose

instincts wily wisdom
poised of necessity
on the edge of life

Premium Member Being Mimicked is Annoying

mimicking Lu often copies me
terribly annoying, can't she see?
If I chopped my hair, she would chop hers too
No original thought or idea for Little Lu

It gripes me that she is this way
We used to play, now I stay away
If I broke my arm, she'd be wearing a cast.
Here she comes, so I am running fast.
