Premium Member The Small Doll Tall Fall

Opening the nesting doll was an ache           
Overturning it and began to shake    
Was all full of dirt
Got all over my shirt 
It was the urn of grandma, my mistake

Premium Member To The Moon and Back

Always on my mind
Always in my thoughts
Only you my love
It's for you I have sought
Overturning stones
Wandering all around
Thankful finally
That you're the one I've found

Premium Member A Beautiful Couch

A beautiful couch, dusted entirely; five gentle hearts insist. Just kids, learning, moving, now 
overturning pillows-- quite riot, so teriffic--undaunting: Victory will expand young's zodiac.

The solider called Rainbow

Running
And a hiding
In the water he would float
No one knew when he'd strike
Bow and arrow no joke
Overturning the odds he fought until the end
War he thought it was but it would end in peace again!!!!!!!!

The Future Starts Here

The innocence is transfusing
and overturning 
the goat skin drums
children of the mills,
children of the junkyard,
alone, 
and savaging
and we keep filling them with
mercury, nitrate, espestice, baby bombs
blasted out of their shaved heads
scared,
and foraging


Premium Member Louisiana Bayou

Louisiana bayou full of pythons and alligators
The boatman glides through the water holding his breath
Wondering if something will get him
By falling out of a tree or overturning his flimsy boat
His journey feels longer today than ever before
Horror story of alligator eating a man on the news this morning

Premium Member Overturning Oncology

studiously sterling students
comparing, contrasting, connecting, complaining, conniving
truthfully turning tricky troublesome troubles
into intriguing innovative idealistic ideas
providing peaceful progress
magically, mystically, miraculously meeting marvelous methods
of optimistic overtures overturning oncology.

The Tables Will Begin Turning

The tables keep on turning.
The wheels keep turning.
Eyes that are burning.
A vision of deception
a heart left mourning.
All of that is over
waking up to peaceful stress-free mornings.
No longer worrying about lies, infidelity,
or any type of deceit.
Discerning and
intuition spoke the truth
overturning.
Karma will soon
be returning.
This is the truth and a warning!
The tables will begin turning!

Sometimes

sometimes you can find some words
and start to play like a child
throwing them on the left or on the right side
but these are returning like a boomerang
and could wound you

sometimes is more difficult to say I am sorry
than overturning a rock
because the words are heavier
and sharper

sometimes you say good bye
looking to the sky
and the Sun is reflected
by the tears
or maybe is only a shadow
inside.
