Premium Member Best Wake Up Call Ever

Succulent orange trees
Perking up Florida gladly
Delicious juices
The best wakeup call ever
Freshly squeezed by relatives

Premium Member haiku 101

the skies overhead
as airplanes come and depart
crisscrossing smoke trails

the smell of coffee
perking in the kitchen
wafting on the air
Form: Haiku

Hear Coffee Perking

Hear coffee perking
Bacon sizzles on the grill
See neighbor’s cooking

First sip of coffee
Hot enough to burn your tongue
Drink from the saucer

Perking Patsy

Donald is, "The Apprentice" star
Who loves to fire folk from afar
For a "You're fired!" tweet
Evades "Meet & Greet"
Once again, Trump lowers the Barr

Away Have Been Slaving

Away Had Been Slaving

When Confederate flags in air were waving,
Black folk away they all had been slaving;
Fervently working,
And coffee perking;
Faithfully performing duty while behaving.

Perk

coffee's perking
mind is working
always in the past

pour a cup
to wake me up
wondering if it can last

another hour
java empowers
has the die been cast

drive to work
heart in a cirque
the feeling, vast

Now Is Won Spelled Backwards

My time is now.
You will know this by seeing 
the perking up of my eyebrow.
I am in it to win it.
I will not take myself 
out of the game
and quit. 
I will fight till the end. 
No matter what 
is around the bend. 
This life can be hard. 
That's why 
negativity 
is what
I discard.

The Calling Bird

Early morning, you can`t buy it,the quietness and calm sets up your day
to whatever maybe in store,
Your cup of coffee or freshly squeezed juice perking you up while watching
the morning news,
The calling birds are prominant being for an hour, starting from one point a 
line or circlre of tweets
A calming effect like meditation, sets you up to face whatever be instore today.

Premium Member What Makes Me Happy

i'm always happy when i think of food
it sets me in the mood

warm toast with honey makes me so happy
i guess that sounds a little sappy

or is it perking coffee gounds
to go along with ice cream mounds

who knows
i'm just peachy down to my  toes

there i go with peaches
i'm glad there not leaches

no wonder my belly's so full
and that's no bull

Twisted Garden

She has Ivy twisted in her hair, day-lilies sprouting from the palms of her hands. 
She dances with the willows, but she cries with the sun-sanken land. 
She lets the daisies dance around her feet, with honeysuckle dripping from the corners of her mouth,
her peonies perking to point due south. 
She is garland, oh sweet garland, a beautiful twisted mess, 
she is daylight, the sun glowing, in a golden headdress.

Pink Rain

Leaping deer,
            Lovely dear.

        Hopping grasshopper,
           Jolly reaper.

       Peeping hare,
          Pretty care.
        
        Perking woodpecker,
           Carving letter.
 
       Smiling flowers,
          Divine dreams.
      
       Singing birds,
          Flying gazals.

       Falling love,
         Smelling blue.

      Raining pink rain,
        Romantic heart shine.

Unheard Whisper

they listen long and close
   to what they do not say

   and hum their unheard whisper,
      perking up their day;

      they thank the years that
         smooth away all hurt, all grief,

         years of hopeful love that seem
            forever though brief;

            and now he clasps her hands
               it's time for him to go,

               she nods a vow of hope,
                  unspoken, they both know !
