Missing that fear,
That shocked
That tasered
That petrified
My limbs
My teacher standing with his cane

no one told the tree
she could not grow there
and so she did,
on the top of a petrified rock
where no tree had ever grown before

The shiver
frisson !
the urge...
a look
that bends !
We became
petrified,
enchanted,
and breathless !
Oh! love
at first sight... !

A slough of moonlight
Singing lost love songs
A firefly playing rodeo
A lovers reach in petrified time
Butterflies, take it on this Summer night

Spiders she can't abide. Petrified,
she applied insecticide inside;
but then came all undone
when a really big one
tried for a ride down her hide outside.

tea cup spring blossoms
cozy color cocktails clasp ---
forerunner of spring
rainbow petrified
in easter egg elegance ---
salsa on soft snow

I emerge from glass
Landing in parallel world
Drifting with the midst
I drive on ballistic thoughts
Petrified by lava’s kiss.

Petrified Forest!
What frightened all those trees?

This rose will surely die
Just as surely
my love for you never will
Sad and dry
this occasional bloom
But I can still smile
knowing petrified love
is still absolute beauty

In middle of Mediterranean Sea
Lies a petrified pirate ship
She froze in place during a fierce battle
Her secrets and treasures locked inside
Wait here.
Treasure map coming soon

A slough of love
serenading moonlight
A snowball chance in a dream
Buffalo riders playing rodeo
A lovers touch in spring
petrified on time
Absent friends
on the wreath of time

imagery gained
petrified by one's own conscience
doth one dare keep walking forth
realizing all she bares to lose
or may have already lost
gained imagery...sure
but at what cost

Can surely remember back in the forties
Female drivers were a real rarity
My sisters took the wheel
So petrified. I squealed
Still remember to this day, it gave me the willies

Beloved, the air is wonderful
And the gather of the saints is evermore
...tenderful, love hearted
Lay aside a petrified spirit, and
Blend yourselves with peace and quiet
...blessed love, beloved

Oops, I recalled your face,
Ashen and wan;
You were petrified,
Shocked with drumbeat hearts.
'Goosh,' it sounded
as it slipped out
of your grab.
Down the drain it went,
Into the hall of shame.

Can surely remember way back in the forties
Female drivers were certainly a rarity
When sisters took the wheel
So petrified I squealed
Still remember to this day, it gave me the willies

Looking Up Kilts All Had Guilts Horn Haiku
He who walked in kilts
Also was standing on stilts
Look up and feel guilt's.

Profound sea, where I sail
Undecided where to go
Raging waters, I conquer
Petrified of the sea creatures
Overcome to understand
Significance of this gift I have
Enlighten me, to the things I should do

Poems So Simplified
Maybe it was me who had lied
My poems did seem so simplified
Read by fathers who were founding
Who found them to be astounding
Were put in permanent place and petrified.

Deep tunnel of wound gripping
bored deep in sensual strata
surface sheared in excruciating trauma,
sink to petrified depth of unfeeling...stillness
at benumbed bottom of layered pain...placid.

My Funk 'n Wagnalls says 'petrified' means scared out of one's hide!
Oft' I've pondered what caused the Petrified Forest to become so 'petrified'!

Trump Similar To Stupidity
What Trump never wants is to have his name,
Associated with any complications and blame;
Has often lied;
Brain petrified;
His stupidity is similar as well as being same.

Moments Of Such Inspiration
In The Eyes So Resolute
Petrified From One Glimpse
Of An Emotion So Absolute
Still Trying To Catch Up
Choking On The Loss Of Breath
Hours Slowly Fading
And Our Breathing's All That's Left
