Rainy day 
Wet dog on pavement 
Looking in
Seeing me
Sit by the cosy fireside 
Ignoring its plight.

Tricube

I can still
hear her boots
hit pavement

As she walks
Down the street
By herself

The moonlight
highlighting
her movements

Shadows shimmer on Spring day stroll.
Tree branches fall on sun-bathed pavement.

Straddling iron beast
Rumbling pipes, vibrating seat
pavement disappears
wind whisking troubles away 
Riding, soaking up some rays

Absentminded

Today I dropped words

between cracks in the pavement:

half-written screenplays.

My muse, a cappuccino,

conjures romance while I sip.

Premium Member Fears Flicker

shadows move along
             the pavement under streetlights
                   where lone fears flicker

Premium Member Airplane

i watch as the airplane
glides through still skies
towards the glowing amber sunset
till it's wheels meet pavement
and it's mission is met

Evening Stroll

Darkness enveloped in moonbeams
Diamonds sprinkled on black velvet
Cool air caressing hot pavement
Held close against the deepening shadows

Premium Member Heavenly

I was born in a town 
filled with angels
where promises of gold
outweigh chances to grow old
and there are stars
in the hills and pavement

Untitled #14 / Kick Out Your Windows

Kick out your windows
and let the glass shatter against the pavement below
the better to hear the crickets
the better to breathe in the night

Run

Run
That's all I can do 
Pounding the pavement 
Shoe after shoe
Running for a reason that is not clear
Season after season 
Year after year

Where’s Tomorrow

Pushed to the pavement.                                    Flattened by memories.                                       Can’t see Tomorrows light

Heat from  the pavement
Rises in shimmering waves
Torrid  summer day 

Looking for relief
Fire hydrants gush cooling spray
City children play

Burnt Verse: Silhouettes I

A brine-eyed dog struts through my yard Snuffling the pavement cracks Its partner circles under guard Behind its owners' absent backs

When It Is Raining

once one drop falls
it is gone
when another drop falls
it is gone
too
like so many lights
they are snuffed out
one
by
one
as they hit the pavement.
Form: Lyric

Premium Member The Bus Home

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue.
Form: Tanka

Pieces

love like currency that changes hands, 
that falls into cracks between the pavement, 
protected by some, squandered by others, 
unspent, overdrawn, overwhelmed

Printed Kisses

it's freezing/ the eyelids're drawing near pavement/
leaving the orange blurs on the street/
never thought that the ptinted kisses/
could be ever so tender and sweet/

The Mummy's First Job

He pounded the pavement feeling crummy
his job outlook not very sunny
then he saw a sign
help wanted come inside
becoming a crash test mummy dummy.

Premium Member Debts And Disability

I splat the slim cigarette's ashes onto the pavement,
Little to no care of my own psychological impairment,
While living through life with no means of any repayment.

Hauled

in that
shopping
cart,

tearing the
pavement
with riotous
laughter

even after
those wheels
caught that
crack

sending you
sprawled into
the pickled
night.

Untitled #28 / Gray

Gray skies, gray puddle-splash
Gray skipping rope on the gray pavement
Gray cars, gray socks
Gray jeans, gray T-shirt
Gray soul, gray hairs
Gray matter
Gray middle name.

Celestial Abode

J-ust
E-xpect
N-ice pavement, 
N-o more rough road, 
Y-ou shall live in a celestial abode.
