          fell neatly upon the ground

Premium Member Trapped in a Tableau: The Map

I found the old map
folded neatly there 
in the desk drawer,
unfolding I see
our last journey, planned
but never taken.

My thoughts are slippery and reek of formaldehyde.
very neat, very clean.

Premium Member Urbane


       urbane, the snake embeds
         itself, coquettish, amongst
            equals 

       swiftly defanged
         ~ neatly deranged

Wait for Me

When I was a little child
and couldn’t read
I saw droplets of treasure
rest neatly
on a spider’s web.

Thank you for waiting 
while I had a look.

Pillow Talk

Dreams
Waft
Downward
Billowing
As the bed sheets drape.
Fold in the sides - tuck the corners
For only then will my wrinkled thoughts be neatly made.

Requiem of the Rising Sun: March 12

Cracks in well-formed plans
Rain on neatly arranged napkins
 
We were never in control
Always in your hands
Wrap your fingers tightly now
Stop the falling

Deep Pockets

The taxman has deep pockets
Where the rich are
Neatly tucked away
The taxman has a
Worn smoker's jacket
Which is full of holes
The poor must hold onto the seams

Premium Member Sculpture

neatly stacked stones
       making sense of the world
             man must build!

          counter to that
      man must also tear down
             what a waste!

The Burial Ground

Our common end
we're swept
out of sight
and the bird
lies on the ground
neatly hollowed out
by the army of ants
an awesome flying creature
reduced to a few feathers.

Premium Member Advice Not Taken

You should gather your thoughts first.
Collect them and write them neatly.
Make a case but listen with empathy.
“What were you THINKING?” I yelled.
Blowing it completely.

Premium Member Nuance

Listen to poem:
Nice to see the notice
Neatly posted on board
Nuance Needs Attention!
Nurture well each notion
Netted by casting deep
Note each iota jot
Neglect no detail, none.

Premium Member Always fascinated me

Country bumpkin heading to school.
Passing through a town's neatly gardened symmetry.
Glimpse how other half lives.

A Salute To the Fallen

Brass handles, polished,  
Purple  satin,  heavenly,  
Perfect   wedding   suit,  
National   flag   neatly  draped.
I  salute  thee,  soldier   mine!

Premium Member Two Shoes

Propped up against the wall
two shoes, neatly placed there
laces intact, leather shiny as new
multiple holes in both their soles 
disparity in presentation,
 so what is their truth?

Warm Sunny Gruel

Sawed off iron
Has been lying 
For a long time.
It's rusted
Like my life.

We look into each other's eyes
Neatly laid out on a stone  
That is warm  ,
Waiting again , for the rain  .

Confirmation Bias

When we find our convictions attacked, we rely on a deck neatly stacked. There’s a cool little bias that will always supply us with a handy alternative fact.

No Perfect Moment

You don't have to wait
For a perfect moment
A moment can be perfect
If you just have to work neatly
With love visible and beautiful
Witness by your loving eyes
Other eyes will see it through.

Premium Member Despotic Geography Manager

All you water, please file neatly
into the ocean - I mean completely, 
and if you are dirt, you are meant
to lie on a continent.
Islands and lakes, please prepare,
for your judgment, the electric chair.

Premium Member Savin' Sunshine

Sitting here over coffee
warn thoughts like smoke
filter slowly cross my mind.
Thinking of you dear
wish you were here.

Savin' sunshine darlin'
for some sunless day,
neatly filed darlin'
under "S" for stay.
