Tear Crocodile Bush

If pray

A burning bush

Twas to appear

I fear

Crocodile tears

May not be enough

To quell 

It's flammable design

In time for next pennants

And confessions


Premium Member The Breeze Lifts My Spirits

Roses look redder
     Sunflowers sunnier
   Chrysanthemums brighter
     Queen Anne's lace whiter

   Leaves waving like pennants
     Puffy clouds sail along
   Grass green and refreshed
     Birds sing their song

   The breeze lifts my spirits
     One click saves and submits it

Premium Member Silverhead Castle

Swells of nitrous climbing walls, cirrus pennants slowly flag..
Cerise in the lining, richly glowing halls are leading
Onto stairs with eternally deep & steep stooping falls
magenta hued cotton surround me in fields on every side
I'm Floridian dreaming, under bearded trees with the river nearby.

The Moment

Chubby cheeks pause milking
from mother’s hanging breast.

Heartbeats are balancing 
the drunken fan’s bawling.

A fist swinging laugher
pauses to meditate.

The batter is ready,
slightly crouched by the plate.

Pennants flutter gently
in the afternoon breeze.

The pitcher checks first base,
then the delivery.

Premium Member Nothing's the Same Now

Pennants' edges curling up, peeling away from fading walls--
Lions listless, languid, lost ~ Tigers timid, tame, tepid--
Floorboards waxed like glass, nothing strewn, no disarray, no chunks
  of petrified food accusing.

The Choreographer of clutter
The Enabler of entropy
The Maestro of mountainous messes
The Fife and Drumbeat of detritus
  has moved on

Premium Member Leaves

Leaves, green with sap of lush Spring trees
Flutter as branch bound butterflies,
Whistling tunes in Summer breeze
Backing cicada mating songs.

Well-seasoned leaves blistered with rust
Fly as pennants on Autumn limbs.
Much retired from recycling CO2
They rocked and rolled on Winter ground,

Rout-steppers marching in review,
Mulching forward with much to do.

Premium Member In the Aquarium

When I leaned over the aquarium, the water shifted~
a small blue fish rising as if to greet the surface.

Its fins flickered like tiny pennants,
sending ripples through the glass world
where everything moved
with the calm certainty of stars.

For a moment it hovered beneath the surface, 
a bright thought I hadn’t yet had~
then vanished into the quiet drift
of its own deep sky.
