A Hiding Place

In tidy closets ~
  Coats hang peacefully,
Quiet, Muffled happiness,
  Beside little shoeboxes,
The cosiest of spaces.

--- that muffled sound ... logic? --- :

no matter, the rest's dross, pry good -

sense loose.

The train whistle puffs
Frail familiarity
A world passes by
Muffled train sounds die away
White clouds of smoke drift behind

Deceit Always Backfires

To caress egos
Hollow minds with muffled hearts
Create fancy sounds,
Resonating deceit, they
Rob their souls of true friendships

Premium Member A Haiku Show Tell

On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Music fills the air

The requiem starts
Faure's genius is heard
In every ear

Sleep

sink into sleep
drop into deep
paddle in waves
of fluffed up sheep
glide through the dark
fade into dense
waves of muffled
quiet rest.

and then to dwell,
pillowed on your breasts,

There once was a woman named Hazel
Her speech was muffled and nasal
She needed to blow
In her handkerchief so
We could give Hazel appraisal

Would You?

Hallways, crowded, loud,
Bustling people, muffled sounds,
There, I stood so still.
I would wait for you right there.
Would you wait for me as well?
Form: Tanka

Voice

I hear a voice.
It's a muffled sound.
I hear it crying.
I start running.
I hear it becoming louder,
But quieter.
It's quiet now.
I see me.
It was me.

Premium Member Departure

time comes to say good-bye
long hugs and kisses
muffled by tears

a time of sorrow,
mixed emotions soaring
long overdue apologies,
truces ad compromises
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Too little too late

Beneath the cover of silence.
Indistinct words under layers of muffled emotion.
Her snuffed voice never heard.

Echo

embalmed in the roots
                                  beneath the methuselah
                                    muffled her still cry

Misery

Melancholy men meandering many muddy miles. Marred minds, muffled moans, marked madness. Minimized merciful miracles;  morphs mans’ magnified misery.

Premium Member A Lone Streetlamp

the refrigerator hums
  clocks tick
a lone streetlamp
  sheds it circle of light

snow-muffled steps
  approach, retreat
inside, outside
  the hush of midnight's beat

Ideas

My knuckles have bled
We are all fighting for life
Souls eat souls so carelessly
In bloodlust lost sight
Controlling my muffled ideas
Though mine holds still in these words

Premium Member Poor Frowzy

My paper dog caught a cold and snuffled, 
and, sad to say, his bark was muffled. 
Frowzy's life was very hard - 
made from a ribbon and some cards
that weren't completely shuffled.

Premium Member Garcons Bursting At Their Seams

A cute little french girl named Francine Had young garçons bursting their seams Agitated is the word As their hormones did surge Were heard letting out muffled screams

November Dancing

November drifts in—gently—in her silver cloak
Her joy swaddled in lachrymal rain - wistful
muffled memories and pain unfurled
Two raincoats embrace and sway gently
In her breezy embrace

Premium Member Queen of her stage

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Spirit Wind

Spirit wind
Feeling on my face
Butting in, smearing
My jowls relentless
Your muffled voice
A conglomerate 

I prefer the still
Silent air and the 
Sharp smack of heels
On the pavement
