blackberry winter
small white blooms not for picking
prickly spring cold snap

Prickly plant,
reminds me
of my heart;
Sharpened, tough;
Time thickened,
weakening;
Falling for
a flooding
cactus cry.
lassoing a porcupine isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be
the worst part is releasing the rope from something prickly like he
prickly and simply
wrinkly and pimply
old aged and one paged
ungauged and enraged
wildly carefree
honest living at seventy-three
cockeyed pincushion
stabbed prickly but no blood
i admire you
so puffed up and proud
always ready for grandma
i poke you silly
Prickly
Annoying
Situation
A nasty letter
Mean capital letters
A mama bully
Raising baby
Bully ways
Hostile
If anyone supposes
That life should be a bed of roses
How boring this would be
With no diversity
Roses have prickles the blossom exposes
stoic expression
though prickly thorns stabbed her breast
silent suffering
lingering sorrow
memories drift unbidden
closure is denied
she's wild
she's prickly
distant and aloof
stand-offish
guarded and withdrawn
but i will always love her

Big tall evergreen trees are monoecious
But others are only dioecious
Two sexes are mono
While only one dio
Both prickly to handle coniferous
A cowgirl got bucked off her horse
And flew through the air with some force
A prickly pear
Caught her right where
A lack of chaps caused her remorse!
Some say life is not a bed of roses
A bed of roses would be as uncomfortable as hell
They may be prickly
But are beautiful and have a delightful smell
A porcupine named Prickly Pete
Did doze in his condo in Crete.
When slumber turned sour,
Unleashing his power,
He skewered both a ghost and his sheet.
Piece of ice
floating in the sea
cold head
hot feet
clouds of black fog
prickly breeze
I don't know who you are
or what you want from me.

Red roses and razor blades
woven into the soggy beds we've made
sweet scent of heaven, the smell of slow death.
Red roses and razor blades...a prickly romance.
Laid right there on some fluffy grass
waiting for all the boys to pass
the wind would blow
Callie would show
those gazing down her prickly azz
I am a mosaic today
made up of sharp glassy shards
feeling sticky and prickly
pushing people away
if my trail goes cold
and no one can follow
I can reglue myself
Rose's thorns scare admirers away
There's not much a poor flower can say
Her skin is so prickly
It makes suitors sickly
So she shows them her petals ~ Come play!
His prickly quills were more than a few,
her black ink was seldom used,
octopus in sink,
porcupine got ink,
their writing poems making headline news.

There’s a prickly old man who seemed lazy
Yet while loafing he pushed up a daisy
And said with some practice
He’d force up a cactus
Just to prove that the gods must be crazy
Yellow fire hazards blemish the lawn,
prickly to bare summer feet.
Locusts overtake the heat.
Aphids feast and continue to spawn,
yet still remain strawberries to eat.

If I were Love
Or the rain
Or that prickly feeling
Or the pain
I would be
Above all
And below
A wretch
If I were Love
Or the dirt
Or the dust
Made up of rust
I would be
Love
Henry Harry Harold Hubert Hedgehog he
Rolls himself into a prickly ball, let’s let him be
When predators come to annoy, torment or play
His prickly thorns discourage them to go far away
some mornings before my coffee
i feel as prickly as a porcupine
and don't want anyone nearby
precious silence respectably
a most welcomed blessing

Here lies old Ethel Mae McMurtrey
She fell while trimming a pine tree
The mortician removed the needles
