Decadeath

The whore train rubs its warm thumping body against the rails
The heat rises and the chimney wails
A smell of melting chokes its throat

Cracked Miles

Night's curve
lost on rails
my broken keys lost in a sad lune
an orchestra playing on my mind
a drama of senses
takes its toll--
cracked miles

Quiggie Snarls

Quiggie Snarls were maritime snails
Tasted butter in mouth of Hales
He ate a bucketful
With his grandson Gudrool
Then kicked the bucket off the rails

The Ayes of Texas

Texans are not known for their brains
Which go off the rails just like trains
But why should they care?
They're going nowhere
Why worry who's holding the reins?
Form: Limerick

Difficult Situations To See Happen

It's not simple to find a train at sea
or eye planes climbing on the trees
 never got to sight ox fly
fish swimming in river dry
 boats travelling rails sailing free
Form: Limerick

Speed and Accuracy

My anniversary gift went off the rails.
She sought it shiny with correct details.
Goes from nought to two hundred
in three seconds, so wondered -
But it wasn’t a set of bathroom scales,

Premium Member The Broken Bridge

Life is a balancing game. At times through dilapidated bridge, With shattered rails and planks, We have to daringly pass, To reach our desired destination.

Blood On The Rails

Through struggle
one can justify life
Losing the battle
enhances the view
Blood on the rails
all markings assured
Death as the prize
— recurring anew

How do you fare on the happiness scale Are you an A-Plus or have you fallen off the rails Bend an ear And listen here Besides an occasional glitch, everything else pales

Rails

nostalgia, farewell
RAILS © TANKA

Rails chewed up the land
Buffalo herds cease to roam
Down the railway track
Over hills, over dales gone  
‘Big Horns’ and ‘Buffalo Bills’!

Graffiti On Wayra's Walls

Webs of graffiti
Fill a dimly lit station--
Holding my map to nowhere
I trace old paint stretch far 
Into abandoned rails called life.

Premium Member Chugging Along

Without saying to come and get me
Know today, tomorrow this will be
Our lives are best spent together
We are more than what is not said
This destiny riding eternal rails
Chugging along while I have track

Premium Member Night Train Screams

Night train screaming down The hill, grinder for Metal rails in Earth’s dust. Painful reminder of war Carrying troops to battle. Her screams echo those of the dying soldiers.

Tracks Or Train With a Tarnish

Tracks Or Train With A Tarnish


Either train itself or tracks had a tarnish;
Missions and goals difficult to accomplish;
Unstable section;
Was a detection,
As on the rails train sped and went swish.

Sweet - Nonet

Sweet
         (Nonet)

So tasty on oceans chocolate
Waves lift up on light sugar spray 	
White, tender, cherry red love
Kissed on liquorish boat 
Made of bliss, pink rails
Sails of candy
Delicious

Steam Locomotove

Black, white and gray smoke trail a mile long, working all the way
                The fireman shoveling more coal, heading for the next water stop
                 Across the country, "The Iron Horse", goes down the rails

Premium Member Off the Rails

Currently things seem to have gone off the rails One of those times when total bedlam prevails Car problems, tough choices Number two, doc appointments And Cathie has the worst cold, at the top of the scale

Premium Member A Raindrop

In the silence
There is a humming
A hint of life’s
Forever whisper.
The whirr of atoms
Spinning galaxies
Iron rails singing
Un-clappered bells
Repeating a lost call
A vibratory vastness
Seeking validation
A raindrop

Premium Member Waters Swirl

  
    the staircase stops mid-air
      cobwebs choke in dust
    down, down critters skitter 
      down invisible rails

       waters swirl
    up springs Hope
       without a cue card 
     violins carry it off
