wondered why and then did try
them identify

A butterfly winging by
  into one ear did fly --
Came right out the other

How come so fast, asked I

Buds of early June
Slowly pry open, sprouting
From Chrysanthemums

I wonder why
 You still pry
 and often lie
   I just sigh
 I will not cry
 nor slowly die
I'll just say bye

In a pod not a boat
but pry yellow tee flags 

red
did he say pea green
almost there
to the 8th
a couple more to the
forces of evil disappear...

The soul can be so still and quiet
  From contemplation hard to pry it

While all about it, flesh does gyrate
  The soul's domain is mindful pilates...

There was a young lady who swore
That the movies were simply a bore:
Someone asked, “Not to pry,
But could you explain why?”
The rejoinder was merely a snore....

Listen to poem:

darkened deserts dry
phantom psyches proudly pry
mindless multiply

No flying in my wing
But I try
My rock won't pry up
But I try

No crying, no crying
I'm Not crying

but I'm not flying
My rock- not prying up...

Now I cry

It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door 
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house

Have faith in your mission, do unto others
   Bold be your vision, make them your brothers
Yield not to nagging pricks and pangs of doubt
   ~ The world is an oyster, yours to pry out

at whatever age you find your voice
guard it
or they will pry it from your throat
silence your truth
mutilate your self-worth
barricade your life against such violence
arm yourself with nuclear verbs
and whatever you do
don't stop talking...

A Teenage Kiss   
A Teenage Kiss 

By Elton Camp 


Jason on young Susan had his eye 


To give her a big kiss the boy did try 


She wore braces as did he 


Didn’t expect how that could be 


So their interlocked wires they had to pry...

What if chickies had boobs in the back as well as the front
Hugging would last an eternity, can imagine twice the grunts
Hard to pry peeps apart
Talk about uncontrollable farts
If I have one last wish, we'd hug six times before lunch ...

Beneath the gaze
of watchful eyes
she sits and cries.
The fairies pry

and wring their hands.
The wind goes by
with anguished sigh
he strokes her face.

Lost in the rain,
Carried by wind to your window,
Glass like words between us.

Words linger,
Unspoken,
In shallow air.

Reasuring words,
They pry at my wounds,
Nothings okay.

Deserted,
Like the empty corners,
Of my hearts cell.

Lost forever......

Sense sacred signs seeking sure seeing
Urge firm align in sure being
Rise with deep finds in feeling
Pry away bold and strange
Rush unfolds new range
Ink cold odd change
Strike a thought
Etch plot

See symbols speak
Prove profound peak


Voice vibrant verse
Pry poignant purse


Cast clever choice
Numb naughty noise


Cheery charm calls
Fun frames footfalls


Psyche primes pace
Fond flavours face

Meager attempts leave lofty goals out of reach;
while thin thoughts leech away my creativity,
I pry perfunctory pieces from flighty sources,
searching for literary gold.
Holding my hands in place, I wait to erase a mess,
in case someone decides to test my poetic valor....

Prying eyes all around me 
Like I'm a sort of celebrity 
They want every piece of me 
They are baffled by my mystery 

For what I do is like ordinary 
But for them it is a big deal 
For the sway of bigotry 
Has clouded their minds for real

Poet ~ Rick Parise
_______________

Woes
falling
mirth within
peaceful drowning
a place I search for time and time again
If only to pry each word from my mind
a poetic
masterpiece 
in grace 
shine
