Of the cold night, am I,
Observing with each eye.
Overhead, I explore.
Ominously, I soar
Over the forest floor.
Oops, what nixed Mousie's life?
Only my talon's knife.

He whips up a furious
thunderstorm
of seething acid
Looming above
an ocean black,
ominously placid
He snorts out thunderclaps
and hurls down lightnings
deathly white
The god of the oceans,
once again, will show
his turbulent might.

She asked, "What does your painting mean?"
I said, "Nothing really. It's just a portrait of a peaceful evening scene."
She said, "But I sense something ominously stark,
there, lurking behind those two figures in the dark."
I said, "Oh, yeah. I see exactly what you mean.”

Lone lookout
Guardian and protector
Peggy’s Cove
Raging storm brewing
Lighthouse distress signals
Late for dinner
His chair sitting ominously empty

patch of blue sky
behind acacia foliage
turns ominously black,
winds wail, winds blow,
impatient, agitated,
flipping up undersides
of shaken leaves;
deluge comes,
crack and dazzle,
ripping away twigs,
tearing down branches,
lightning blasting away
at everything standing
upright in its way.

What is this creepy thing
Infecting my body?
Busily digesting my flesh, melting,
The first stages of the blob.
End of my extremities
Swell ominously, wriggling,
Undulating like giant worms
Busily digesting my tissue
I’m becoming what I fear most,
Mistaken for castings
Shoveled up and thrown
On the compost heap.

A contemptuous shimmer in his eye.
His body coils along the trunk.
An empty stomach fuelled only by anger.
Looming ominously from the sky.
He hangs from the branch,
lolling, staring, waiting.
Waiting for a victim
to constrict and inflict.
He stares.
He waits.
He starves.
Too late?
No. Not today.

Nether Light
Light shrouded in surreal fog
Glows dimly
Casting eerie shadows
concealing danger
Masking the reality
of the darkness
Light enshrouded in the eerie mist
shines ominously
Casting a cloak of doom
over our perception of well being
Stealing away our peace
destroying our solace
Leaving in its place chaos and anxiety
mayhem and confusion

Ominously yellow
Tranquility shatters
With its explosion
A hanging threat
Against my spirit
Energy saturates
My body
Excitement builds
A dash for
The intersection
The engine races
Spurred by my
Heavy heel
Flight begins
Stampeding forward
Yellow changes
Danger Red
Breathless now
I speed underneath
An alien horn sounds
But safety once again
Restores my judgement

Absolutely surrendering to the amusements of fate
Benign benevolent sentiments within bring bodacious bait
Abiding austerely into the ageless absurd fits and starts
Never negotiating with nature's nebulous nuptial new arts
Divine decorum dazzling dawn is what the environs drive at
Obscure oasis of the omnipotent ominously pat
Nefarious, nauseous nostalgic nemesis kneels as a gnat

Listening to obscure music on a cloudy, Sunday afternoon...
Christmas is all but upon us, and the new year ominously looms...
Will next year be better than this one, or will the bottom just fall out?
Trying to see my glass half full, but the empty half I doubt...
Despite the typical problems with this desperate time of year...
I still wish you a merry Christmas, even if my voice is hard to hear...

Creepy
Oozing
Pimply
Witchy
Ominously lit by bonfire
Grabs me to throw on hot coal pyre
I run
I jump
I yell
I scream
They drag me back kicking and hitting
I refuse to stop, never quitting
Drug her
Mug her
Smack her
Crack her
Alert, I refuse to go easy
They let me go, my stomach queasy
Owlish
Foul-ish
Smelly
Bad stuff
I feel quite grateful, big and rough
Glad Mommy taught when to be tough.

Tyburn
Daffodils of gold wind their way through heaven's green pastures
As angels whisper through the meadows of my mind
Fragrance forgotten through the passing years
Forever dormant, lingers in sphere of time
Ominously transparent in the shells of life
Done now are things I cannot change
If only I could return the fragrance that I stole
Letting you know that I seek forgiveness
Soon all seasons would shower daffodils

Flawless
Her skin shone with radiance
Peach and rose in perfect balance
Flawless as the diamond on her hand
A sparkling jewel on a gold band
A black heart rested within
Ominously jet, a flawless twin
Flaws
Pretty she was not, had many a flaw
Chubby cheeks which needed a thaw
Fingers hardened with hard work
Was a simple wife of the town clerk
A kind and golden heart within
Helped one and all with a happy grin

Couplet
up the slightly winding stairway
my fingers sliding on the varnished
contour of the burnished banister
that feels like an ominously
smooth, sinuous anaconda,
but happily undulating
under my palm
like a kitten purring
gratefully at being
caressed...

Light Verse
at high noon came the typhoon;
storm clouds, crisscrossed
by zigzagging sparks of lightning,
cracked and burst
as thunder roared
ominously.
rain gushed down in torrents
and, like furious waterfalls,
hit everything, anything below,
soaking the earth,
drenching all
thoroughly.
after a while, it was gone;
in the fresh stillness,
wet greenery glistened in the sun,
insects frolicked free,
pleased, grateful,
delirious.

The familiar burbon warmth
crept through each vessel,
slow and hard the burn-
turning me out from the inside.
I closed my eyes
and braced for impact,
I always fall hard right here...
Long tendrils of silky-soft hair
framed my porcelain face as I
lowered my head in defeat.
I'm clean on the surface
but stained like church glass underneath,
a wrecked consequence
of this beautiful life
that is ominously cursed
with the promise of death.

Grazing on the hearty lawn, Peacefully; even placidly.
Coming closer to the earth, with each mouthful.
Leaves gathered on the grass,
implying the nearing of fall.
Having few cares,
she munched along, blissfully.
Standing ominously near a fence,
nearing a tree, she fooled the onlooker
One would think
this steed was free.
Perhaps she was more free,
than you or I.
Tugging, relentlessly on each blade of grass,
she was a mare of content!

As the moon passes over the sun
the earth to darkness is plunged
in olden times people were in fear
thinking this is the world's end
Pitch blackness covers the earth
day and night are now reversed
no bird songs now can be heard
just an ominously deep silence
slowly so slowly the light returns
a collective sigh of relief from all
today is not yet the world's end
just an eclipse of startling magnitude

Neon fingers
banish the remnants of the day
Dustbins loiter ominously
blurry eyed
The Night people slide in between
Sailor doom bewitched by sorceresses
as heckled men face electric spears
Stet the occasion
A drawbridge opens
staining the gangster day
Outstretched palms
preclude the day
Jewelled ghost trains
ordinately take you
further away
Velvet dolls with a brainy side
watch stale commissioners slide
Star clad ingénues infuriated evermore

Beyond the din of vexatious dogs that bark,
The winds of change blow ominously.
Foreboding signs that upon us make their mark
Bring unease and much anxiety.
There is nothing we can do in this dire state
But pray someone stops our dark, impending fate.
In history's pages are precious lessons
From which shortsighted leaders may learn,
Choose when to keep our peace and when to make war,
For lives lost, we can never return.
