A glimmer of light
stocatto blinks
puzzling
observatories
frantically
adjusting the focus
a junior Einstein
tears out his hair
Hubble 
in trouble


Puzzling Puzzle

trying to
solve the
puzzling puzzle 
of swings 
in mood 
was not 
an easy task to 
undertake 
that is 
why in the 
end the 
puzzle was 
left half solved

Relativity

My mind is straying towards 
A staircase of the unknown
One vibrant as relativity 
And puzzling
For realities perception
Is fading on my thoughts
Like staircases
Decaying

Premium Member A Fly and a Bird

I saw a buzzing, birding fly go by.
It spied a puzzling, flying bird up high. 
When it said, "that's a flycatcher, I think",
that bird caught lunch - a fly and a drink.

In quiet Sunday morning

Leaving a trail of intrigue
Disappearing forever

Puzzling

I sit here pondering which piece to move, where it fits, and connecting the groves.
There is no strategy, no technique.
A challenge for the mind, where the brain has grown weak.

Cryptic and Puzzling

Cryptic and puzzling 
Hard to understand 
No one could figure it out 
Nor did they have a plan 
What we have here 
Is a mystery 
Nothing but dark clouds 
Filled with ambiguity

Premium Member Your Inquiring Mind

God you know best
You know what I need
Before I even need it
You just do what you need to do
I will just leave you alone
Love ya
Your ever inquiring puzzling never leave you alone query

Premium Member Confused 2

I once knew a poet named Janice.
			To her nothing's more puzzling than this:
			Some Soupers say "Great"
		 	or "Love it"--then rate
			my poem a "1." Bliss with diss!

How Esoteric

How esoteric
No one could figure this out
Mysterious and puzzling
As situations come about
The people are speaking
But, there is lots of ambiguity
Unless we remove these clouds
No one will see clearly

Come and Find Me In My Solitude

Find me in my costly time
Reading books to learn
Puzzling phrases together
Tending the exciting crime
Surrounded with pen and paper so cute
Adorable in front of the table
Come and find me in my solitude

The Negligent Parent

The negligent parent 
Was never there
How cryptic and puzzling?
His heart was not sincere 
Just face the fact
Your child really needs you 
You need to make your presence felt 
There is a lot for you to do

Back To the Fortress

Back to the fortress 
So she can find herself 
In a state of bewilderment 
And needing to seek help 
Something seems to trouble her 
But, the words never appear 
Mysterious and puzzling 
The outlook is unclear

We Deal With Life

We deal with life
It is hard for us each day 
Cryptic and puzzling 
And yet, we still move through the maze 
Often battle tested 
Because, we want success 
We continue to lift our spirits 
And strive for excellence

Premium Member Making Decisions

I try to think with reason and good common sense in every puzzling circumstance. And still, sometimes, I make very poor decisions! That, however, does not stop me at all from considering every option in life.

Sometimes We Search For Answers

Sometimes we search for answers 
That we can not find
So cryptic and puzzling 
And justifiably unkind 
Pain and darkness rears its ugly head 
This is quite the mystery 
Such confusion and frustration 
With lost of lost souls in misery

Once In Life Time

Once in life time on planet earth
a stranger appears unexpectedly
often his diary of life is fairy
obscure, unpredictable, a thorn in flesh
miraculous, puzzling even frivolous
to majority, the being is an ogre
persecuted but later venerated

Against Anxiety


Cuddling clouds caring current, 
Lightening loving lustful length... 
Depression dares during day
But bed builds boldly;
Altogether at alarming arms, 
Relieving rest- roaring raw... 
Strengthening strong sacred silence:
Peeping possible puzzling potency.

Premium Member Traffic

Trucks and buses roaring by
Road rage at an all-time high
Always watchful, never alert
For an occasional flirt
Forgetting where I am
In a puzzling traffic jam
Cursing, a thank you, ma’am!

Premium Member The Zebra Is A Cunning Beast

The Zebra has a puzzling name,
Alphabet letters strangely cast,
It finishes off with the first,
After starting off with the last!

The Zebra is a cunning beast,
It blends with the waving grass,
With stripes upon its body and head
And even stripes upon its – legs!

Severed Starlight

Severed starlight, brief lanterns

Truncate tingles, sugar burns

pen puzzling in oily ink

Dark dots on papyrus slink

Metre measure on tongue tip

Riddling rhymes gaining their grip

Cursive verses in past tense
