Premium Member You never know who you’ll meet

Bus stop at rush hour.
A sparrow nervously paces to and fro.
Strangers doing much the same.

Premium Member Lantern

frightened pale shadows
waltz nervously on the walls;
thunder storm rages inside.
flickering lantern flame
ebbs its glow, surrenders to dark.

Premium Member A Fifth of Silence

as Chairman Fauch Xi smugly took the stand
the giant red panda nervously clapped
his responses were briefer
than was Adam's tiny fig leaf
a 5th of silence can be a snake in the grass.

SINS AFTER MIDNIGHT

dig deeper dagger
whilst i hold the golden stake
crowd shuffles nervously
cautiously applauding
sins whispered in the dark

Premium Member Mushroom Tipping Point

So nervously, upon this earth I tread.
Don't let me, again, go out of my head.
My fragile mind persisted yet unbroken,
ignoring all harsh words as they were spoken,
until shattered with a sickening shriek.
Done in, I was, as I heard a mushroom speak.

For the Birds - a Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock

Children in the schoolhouse
Chant a structured, uneasy song
“Risseldy-rosseldy
Mow-mow-mow"
Monkey Bars behind a bench...
She nervously lights a cigarette
Something is about to happen
A single crow lands.

Stuck

Trapped within my own mind 
Lost inside my mental complex 
Thoughts flipping swiftly 
Words act as the lump in my throat
Palms sweating nervously
Raising my hand to my head to end the madness 
Brain throbbing at rapid pace 
Body running laps while standing still
me

Balassi Stanza: 
Show

Applying mascara,
Hiding a real era,
Flirt with everyone you know. 
Smile with your lipstick,
Get some money real quick,
Do your best, take it slow.
Eyes flicking nervously,
"Missy, please service me,"
Tonight, put on a good show.

Premium Member Fear

what danger lurks
that scares me out of my mind
I nervously await to see
what is going to happen

my blood runs cold
as it rushes from my face
this cold sweat trickles
down my spine
leaving it's imprint on
my shirt

do i face this fear?
or hide the rest of my life?

Godless Dreams---- For Zyx Contest

Zeusophobia yielded xenophobes,
Wherein violence unleashed
Tear-soaked romanticists,
Quiver painfully? Or nervously moan!
Love killed justice;
In holy Godless Fate.
Entitled dreams collected breathes alone.....




Zeusophobia: fear of God
Xenophobes: Those who are afraid of strangers

The Abcs of Puberty

Altered, boisterous, confounded, disruptive, energetic, fine-tune, growing.
Hyper, inquisitive, jokesters kindling love, mystified. 
Nervously obsessive, pubescences question radical substance, surprising.
Teasing, uncontrollably visiting wild, xanadu youthful zest.

Peculators

Peculators

Artfully bilk, cheat, defraud…  embezzle!
Forgetting gainful, helpful, industrious jobs.
Keeping loot maliciously nervously obtained.
Pilfering, quickly. Robbing, swindling tearlessly.
Until final judgment sends them…  Away.

I Am Vista

I AM VISTA

i am artificial
i am disposable
i am programmable
i am binary
i am machine
i am obsolete

i am error
i am problematic
i am incompatible
i am vista
there is no light
on the faraway screen

i do not like this energy
i exist too nervously
 the monitor is watching me
i am overdue for servicing

Life After 40 a Triolet

I thought it was death finally coming for me
There were footsteps outside my bedroom door
Lying scared in the dark, quiet and mousy
I thought it was death finally coming for me
Peeking into the night nervously
Shaken to the core
I thought it was death finally coming for me
There were footsteps outside my bedroom door

Premium Member Time and Again

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,
obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance,
opportunity deflates in despair;
Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down.

The Fall

The crescendo of the leaves

 combined with a cool crisp blustery breeze

 Children toting animated backpacks

 Squirrels nervously adding to their winter stacks

Trees putting on a colorful display

 vying for attention as they gently sway

Invites to attend the Monsters Ball

 All Uplifting to the Soul

 these signs of The Fall

Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down.

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,

Again,again the siren's call beckons

mediocrity nervously breaks down.

Anxious

Restlessly lounging  against the foamy seat
I looked upon the clouds in a different light -
Were they as soft as they appeared like my dream?
Nervously, my thoughts wandered if I'll tame her 
And light back the fire  in those  runaway eyes;
Imagining the self as the embattled conqueror.

Contest: Capture That Emotion

Confident

Oxygen addiction plagues my mind,
Whirling hurling in this façade of a skin suit.
I can't stop moving-
Gracefully escaping myself,
Will it make me confident?
Spiraling into the depths 
Of curtains that would steal my fix,
Smother me in confident
Confidences shared between the wings
Fluttering nervously away-

And I will be alone.

Mixed Feelings

Nervously
Walked into the room
Reminds me
How I lost my feeling
The last time I fainted
Delightedly
Receiving my birthday gift
Reminds me 
How I’d wished for my presents
Anticipatingly
Sat by the phone, waited for ages
How I’d been frozen in shock
When I learned the news
Despairingly
I now sit on the interview chair
Reminds me
How to talk
I blubber but falter
