The Edge of the Moon

Copper face
Codfish leaping 
From your
Plate
Nipping at
The edge of
The sweet
Blue moon
Ascending
Back to
The eternal
Dark wine sea


Noiseless Amidst Noise

A night came by in it’s sweet prime,
My scattered brains nipping at those lights. 
Standing amidst thousand horns,
Yet I feel like a soundless moron.

Premium Member Snow Scene

snow falling softly a sign of winter's warmth

frost nipping ever nose

cheeks cherry red like wine

kids playing furiously

dashing and dancing

snow angels galore

Premium Member Axe Waiting To Fall

Painful cracked heel
Wolf nipping at the entrance
Axe waiting to fall.

Premium Member Winter

Whiteness falling whirling white
in the crisp hushed winter's bite.
Nipping flakes light the dark night
that gathers on window pane.
Evening's moon begin to wane,
relaxing by candlelight.

Premium Member Awaiting Demise

Seagulls saunter the shoreline, nipping at scraps of dead fish

     Hunters and gatherers will soon have more than a bellyful

          Gils choked by the black tar and oiled wings await Gulf sea life

Premium Member Avalaunch

At times love making is like an avalaunch But I say it's like a day at the park for a jaunt Who's this guy kidding As bits of flesh I'd be nipping At the slightest glimpse of bits you do flaunt

The Door

Jesus may have been the first
or last human being;
the rest of us following
or reluctantly being rounded up.
A vision of a winding file of us all
entering that Door one by one,
angelic sheepdogs nipping at our heels.

Premium Member Thought of the day

all is well, all is well
we are in ineffable peace
in tranquil, time stretched stillness 
then an ego ripple surreptitiously arises
scarring the very fabric of our soul
watch all thoughts oh hermit
nipping them in the bud

Rose and Thorn

Rose
                          Red, Sweet
          Attracting, Blooming, Blossoming
      Beauty, Fragrance, Coloration, Bouquet
                Biting, Nipping, Piercing
                        Sharp, Pointed
                              Thorn

Premium Member Trouncing Fields of Dreams

like locusts
swarming innocent crops	
in their prime
we likewise slaughter
our fields of dreams
as well as moral pride—
idle consciousness
impervious to the nipping
of the shoots 
of chosen buds of youth
trounced 
in the fields of our streets.

Premium Member Merrily Rollicking

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking In the leaves that have covered the ground At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking Nipping and chasing each other all around Their eager playfulness is so astonishing. Written October 3, 2022

Premium Member One Autumn Night

Beneath a moonlit black velvet sky
Where scarlet leaves from the Maple fly
On November’s  wind and breathless sighs
And a lone coyote’s distant cry
You and me where hints of winter lie
Frost nipping our toes as autumn dies
I am warmed by the love in your eyes

Time and Space

Time is relentless,
Crating the future, 
Consuming the Past, 
Only now is,
The space we live in,
Is what we own,
But if only for a short moment,
As we move thought space,
Time is nipping at our heals,
Just as the darkness will find us,
And claim our time and space.

Premium Member Breeze

A gentle breeze
Resonates me
At heartstrings,
Sets a quiver
Of emotions,
Quaffs all my 
Grief,
Nipping life
Into me,
Retreads my 
Rambunctious self,

A gentle breeze,
A keepsake,
Is dainty 
And compatible,
Jiggles and
Evokes aspirations,
Exhilarates ,
A zephyr !!

Vagabond

Drifter, vagabond
On the run from his phantom
Nipping at his heels

Shadow in the night
Slipping through the crevices
Of his own two minds

Past the rolling hills
Splashing ‘cross the black river
Into the new world

Men with winged shoulders
Gliding through the mystic clouds
Mutants rapt in smog

Premium Member Thoughts Not So Quick

Thoughts not so quick, as mindful eye Nipping them in the bud Desires decry before heart’s sigh Lest fears stain soul in blood Double-check, doublethink Before ego can blink Love’s indelible ink Jiu-jitsu trick Thoughts not so quick 22-November-2021 Quietus

Premium Member Free To Whorl

Wind, what’s the rush?
Why the huff,
Why the puff 
Like the wolf
From
The Three Little Pigs,
Muffling my ears 
With “Pfffhhhh…..”,
Nipping my cheek,
Sushing the bird and
Bending that tree into a whistle
Until it shrieks.
Restless, you bluster?....
When you are free to whorl 
The entire world ‘round?

Premium Member Puppy Collies and Their Follies Nursery Rhyme

Small little Halle, Molly, and Dolly full of mischief, puppy collies; climbing over each other in their folly. Snarling and growling, around in the yard, while Reilly the Saint Bernard stands guard. Reilly rolls onto its back, as they come hard climbing all over, nipping and licking volley. 4/9/2021

Treetops

trees fall down tonight
mornin comes-
residue resides along the sand,
salt air 
a taste so fresh
it burns
crisp frost bite
nipping at my neck
how you would
your gaze penetrates
I look to the sky
asking why
the trees lose their leaves in winter
but keep them in the fall-
the air isn't all that much different
it isn't much different at all

Premium Member Winter Place

snow ball icicles 
angel man tunnel igloos
rains turn white droplets

snowy fluffy powder
pearls ivory frosty flakes 
artists white canvas 

cold frozen chairs
frigid chilled air nipping ears
hockey fans warm cheer

snow sums summits
cold air vapors fog mist
below zero temps

ice frost windowsill
snowy ivory chalk mounds
cast blank white canvas

Season's Reasons

Spring renews earth and all it holds More green unfolds Young ones at play Life sings like jay Summer spreads warm sunshine and heat More lazy feet Walks in the sand Life gets sun-tanned Winter brings frozen snow and ice More of white spice Nipping wind blows Life simply slows 07.20.2021

Winter

Just having fun with words and free poetry - kind of like a free verse front/end acrostic-

W inds howling through prairie grasses	Warning
 I mpending snowfalls and hail will be	 Icing
 N ightly with cold gripping hands,  	 Nipping
 T reetops, stripping them and 		 Thieving
 E ventually erasing all color, whilst	 Etching
 R ootless imprints 'til next season’s         Rendezvousing

Premium Member While It Lasts

The young fawns are frolicking on the lawn,
nipping and jumping while they are at play
and the doe, with her patience, watches on.

If I remain quiet then they may stay.
I just love this view from my deck today.

The summer will be gone too soon I fear
and with it will go my visiting deer.

Forgotten Lament

The roaring tides of raging seas
Pave the way for man’s miseries
The simple things we try to hide
Things we as man cannot abide

The things we try to leave behind
Only come back to us in kind
Nipping our heels and biting us
For we are not victorious

We fear the dark, but not the light
Yet we choose neither in this fight
All we need now is peace and love
To reach out to heaven above
