then he nibbled my prize rose
get him I shouted

He took an old miser's advice
and bought her a card at half price -
it looked  old and worn,
the envelope torn,
and the picture was nibbled by mice....

Life is not to be devoured without savoring it but should be nibbled, relishing its every moment!

If you had one wish, what would it be
Mine would be with Jennifer Aniston making whoopee
We'd pause for oxygen
Then be at it again
She'd cry bloody murder as I nibbled her tootsies...

Must Mention Each Ration of Compassion

About Trump are things we must mention;
Definitely has been big bone of contention,
And nibbled at,
A dumb doormat,
While many problems exist with retention.

I breeched her black lace dream
                  as she nibbled the edges off the knight
        she spun a silver prayer wheel with red lipstick sighs
                 at sunrise we shared a pot of black silence...

Having a choice, how would you like to pass on, quite bizarre
A gun shot to the head, strangulation, or eating an Oh Henry bar
Me, you ask
Sex in a mask
Nibbled to death by a pretty maiden, while eating caviar...

“Open wide”, said he, “wanna see what you've got
Settle down, I'm your dentist, wanna see your chops
Your mind's in the gutter”
Then he started to stutter
Began to squim as she nibbled his naughty spots

Cutting them into small pieces 
nibbled words will go down smoother;
Chew, your gag reflex decreases 
cutting them into small pieces;
With honesty choking ceases,
at times you need to speak slower;
Cutting them into small pieces 
nibbled words will go down smoother....

Dracula is alive
Disguised as another 
Darkness swirls around us 
Danger may be lurking
Do not get distracted
Dare to get acquainted
Death by a nibbled neck

I know she loved me
not because she told me
but because she showed me.

Silky fingers through my hair
nibbled kisses everywhere
pleasure nigh too much to bear.

Wordless whispers in breath soul deep
foreordained our fusion to keep
thus I know she loved me 'ere I sleep....

When to see family in Spain we went away
if only the pigeons had just come down to play
but they nibbled the leaves off our veggies all day
leaving only stalks to our regret and dismay.
So next time we are off to take a holiday
we must up our guard lest our seedlings become prey....

There lived a country mouse 
In a catawampus house 
With roof aslant
From back to front
And crooked walls as well.

He did not mind at all
Running circles in the hall
He kicked at peas
And nibbled cheese
Then groomed his hair with gel!

Grouse Courting

I watch the Grouse do their dance,
As each feather is enhanced,
Vane or down, they’re preened and cleaned.
Keeping them healthy and streamed.

At the tail’s base, an oil gland,
That makes the feathers dry and grand.
From barb to rachis, they’re beak nibbled;
For the courtship ritual....

My first
immense brown doe eyes
my artistic creation
visions and tunes
ebb from your soul.

Miss baby blue
a shade I've seen before
like a whip you are
a sponge, absorbing all.

My green eyed angel
such a sweet laugh
tickled out by a nibbled auricle.

Oh, how I love you,
all I would surrender
for your gain....

This contorted shell has lost its gleam
My health is paring from a grim disease;
The Evils i pulled to ground my fame
have nibbled my soul piece by piece;
Jealousy had rooted to this lifeless heart
which no gold or silver could ever suffice;
This tunnel is ending and there's no light in sight
For me, its a farfetched dream to rest in peace......

In the dark cellar
where I lay my young head
there were shadows rats,
and phantom squeaks.

All night long
hunched silhouettes
nibbled at the space
between them and me.

Luckily, I had a superman figure
who rodeoed them all
into a toy plastic hospital
where they were put down
humanely.
As I was,

when I mentioned my fears
to unblinking parents.

I was reasonable and had no grudges for anybody. 
I had the option to put the past nibbled quickly. 

At the point when I meet my foe, I welcome him. 
Praises are an auspicious remedy to the opposing team. 

I'll be cheerful leastwise, for the man I scorn. 
Whenever neared my heart with calm deference tone.

Morning

Slumbering in the shallow of sleep
where memories of movies are seen
The shift of the pebbles
nibbled by tiny crabs
senses of songs
“ What was is all about Alfie?”
Repeat itself 
saddened by life's  vagary 
Dreams like oil slicks on the surface
of water-polluted thoughts
thrown into the tidal sand 
Sinking into Hypnos's arms
wake, when birds sing
the blue hope

Crawling creeping beetles nibble
scatter dither wind and wither
whether chew my mind and sweetly eat
or wittle holes in words I blather blithered incomplete
three thirds are hurled and rained and voided 
annoyed I stew swear screamed "Destroy it!"
flung high a roar voraciously clear
heard words tremble dismember retreat with fear

Empty echos reach for letters
devours silence 
belches beaks and feathes...

Of all the broken fortune cookies Sally's saved for me
the one that meant the most was the one I'd not foresee.
Your faith's a law my cookie said
and soon I realized; I was lead.
Words so wise; I nibbled twice.
So few words; for one low price.
What to do with new found knowledge
armed with words I could acknowledge.
Who would guess a cookie taught.
Who had had this simple thought.
A Chinese man; perhaps a child.
Surely not; my Sally smiled....

I never knew a pitcher like the one I met today,
he nibbled at the corners, then brought it hard and fast.
Though others have been on the mound, I really have to say,
I never knew a pitcher like the one I met today.
I was trembling in the batter’s box, completely blown away.
This was our first encounter — it will not be our last.
I never knew a pitcher like the one I met today,
he nibbled at the corners, then brought it hard and fast....

It was love

I sat under a bridge
That crossed the stream
Small fishes
Nibbled at my feet.
Agnes came
My girlfriend
She often annoyed me
But let me
Kiss her.
She threw pebbles at the fish
I bit her arm
She ran home crying
Telling her mum
I didn´t love her anymore.
I said I was sorry
She showed me
The bite mark
Asked her to marry me
She said yes.
It didn´t work out
The age differences
Agnes was six years old
I was four....

Amber sunrise, clouds flee
Brushing against the horizon.
Cool river's plashy bank calls.
Dawn awakes scatter rays.
End of bait string dangles,
Float swirls. First, a nibble,
Got a fish; it bit my finger
Hard and got away.
I once again cast my line
Just sat, watch, and wait.
Kipper in its depth nibbled,
Line took a tug, a splash,
Makes a dive.
Not again, it's off
Out into the open.
Pole away, oars in hand
Quiet push home.
