The Lily-Flower

White petals torn, crushed,
when autumn comes too heavy,
forgotten in piles,
powdery stamens floating
atop lakes of buzzing air.

Mulberry Landing

Shifty brown waters
Gnarled grey shack
on a verdant grassy pier
Snow white townhouses
on nearsighted shores
The sky, powdery blue
and you,

Manly Canvas

He smells like dead butterflies. 
i can still see the powdery color
from their wings on his skin
he's a canvas, 
i'm watching him come to life

powdery snow-drenched
coldest in seventy years
eyes frostbitten from hot tears

frozen mustaches
stalactites dripping with chill
million ruble lunch to thaw

makes most petite yellow wildflower

are you a faerie

she is gone

Premium Member Quintessential Beauty of Loveliness

she looked fresher than a new  April daffodil
powdery blue eyes
exotic Georgia peach skin

girls in the locker room stared
she was quintessential beauty of loveliness
without realizing it

Can You Guess This Job? 'U'

Warm fuzzy, squirmy, powdery smell.
Goo, goo music to my ears
Peacefuness, facial expressions galore.
Firm gentle grasp on my finger tip
Helpless devotion, personal satisfaction
Love grows every second

Premium Member Rendezvous

Her 
prince
waited
by the sea
to etch her portrait
in powdery sands beside him
before nocturnal waves danced in sheer moonlight kisses;
Alas, too late in rendezvous, she captured his evanescent silhouette no more.

Premium Member Premiere of Persimmon Pureblood

Premiere of Persimmon Pureblood
Pennsylvania’s premiere debutante
prettier than a Parisian parasol
persnickety and powdery
poufy, perfumed, perfectly petite
Persimmon practiced her pirouette
pleats parading petals in a perfect circle

Powdery white, puffy cotton candy mountain clouds. 
Blue watery blue skies a mile high. 
Birds dancing by.
Sun sparkling, glistening beaming bright.
Sun illuminating, giving radiant light.
I'm having an experiential feeling;
1st Heaven like!

Premium Member Cliff Notes

war be no game
war is men
in the trenches
on the line
up the hill
downwind 
flying colors through the air
blue sky and rabid sun snapping
pictures of flapping angels
falling off a cliff
digging a deeper hole
amidst the powdery musket-mist

Premium Member Time For Resolutions

In this festive season of ho, ho, ho
  of sleighbell jingles o'er powdery snow

The time draws near for resolutions
  to fix problems that beg solutions

So, this year I firmly resolve
  My 'No' means No

My 'Yes' means Yes ~
  In this alone, I'll no more jest

Premium Member Animal Abuse

A top a mountain
Pointed above the clouds covered
In powdery snow

Himalaya sky
Hard to breathe must be to high
Hold on to the rope

I don't wanna fall
Cuz I might fall on the goat
What's funny bout that

Fell broke the goat's neck

Premium Member A Nose For Spring

Air laden 
with the fecundity of spring,
sweet, powdery life brushing every
passing wing and foot stalled
on a budding stem, 
receptors greedily unfurled 
in vast arrays
to snare pollen dancing
on a breeze
though leaving too much 
to float my way and be wasted
on a sneeze.

Mildew

Powdery mildew,
had dried,
time had flowed,
nobody had cleaned,
letting the fungus grow,
eyes were straight,
all over looked,
never an eyebrow was raised,
otherwise fungus,
would not have found,
the wet ground to grow,
not to talk about drying,
and letting dried powder,
stow.

Premium Member Butterfly Beach

So, this is where butterflies go to die.
Atop this burning ochre beach.
Amidst the palomino stones, party streamers, and chinook bones.
They folded up their powdery dreams.
Awaiting the pallbearer's tide. 
Toting emerald caskets, silver-lined.
So, this is where butterflies go to die.

Snow

When first it fell - all powdery white
I loved it.
Skipped playfully making snowmen
Throwing snowballs
Giggling youthfully
Took a million photographs
Went on Facebook
Told my stories
Listened to theirs
And then the thaw came
Fell painfully
Slush saturated
Older stiffer
Confidence gone
I dream of summer

Breathe

Breathe
Between love
Inside the pain
She said of lost trust
And in the powdery dust
I can’t
Breathe.

Breathe
In wonder
Of the  rain
Past all of the tears
She’s to far away to hear
I can’t 
Breathe.

Breathe
For why
Walls that remained
Two lovers pretended to die
Hope I longed for and why
She can’t 
Breathe……..
