Reflect divine

fuzzy white slippers

   and a crackling fire

        warm me through

outside the wind picks up 

   rattling this and that

Rattling Away

She came in. 
She had my undivided attention. 
When she looked I turned away. 
So I sat there, with the pot boiling and lid just rattling away.

The unmistakable nightjar
Rattling dusk's lullaby
What a strange sleep seduction...
It's just 8 PM!

Haiku

Last rattling breath
The air sucked from the room
Outside a dove calls


The sky is turquoise
The moment pure filigree
Nearby the hawk sits

Late

There was no sound from her,
but that of rattling plates
and microwave beeps.

The hour was late 
as I sat with the dog,
one shoe off,
jacket unbuttoned.

Premium Member Dancing with Pigeons in Summertime

Summer dazed in — it's dancing time!
Fred buffed his boots to dazzle-shine.
With a leap and a spin,
He clicked heels with a bin,
Rattling pigeons rapping in line.

Corral Two Step

Rattling  hocks
And that mane flowing free
Stirrups adangle 
You danced around me
Wrapped up in reins
And enraptured it's true
It was a cinch I'd be saddled with you

Premium Member Rattling the Rattler

a baby hit a rattler with its rattle
the rattler was startled so it rattled
the babe loaded a diaper
and perfumed the pit viper
that's how a babe beat a snake in battle

Rain Acrostrain

Rattling drops of rain on attic’s roof
Awakening my dreams of meeting you
I was dancing to your opera bouffe
Not knowing you were only passing through!

So tired of hearing about this country or that Rattling their sabres for conquest As intelligent adults, isn't it time we grew up And stop this silly nonsense

Premium Member In Regal Blue

in regal blue
amid blooming eyes
plumed iridescence
peahens gather
in a harem

train rattling
in search of a mate
colored quills
she spreads her feathers 
choice made

Skeletons

Empty house
Empty bed
Empty heart
Empty head
Myself rattling
About within
        My skin...
Find the key...Somebody, quick!
So happiness]Can move in
With me
Again!

Trump and Neighbor

Trump and Next Door Neighbor

Trump has affected next door neighbor;
Over many things he does like to labor;
Whole world upset,
With Trump you bet;
While being so shifty and rattling sabre.

Chaos
                   loud, wild 
     rattling, upending, sabotaging

Honey Bunnies

Breaking free from the jaded haze this winding maze their walls ?
Rattling chains these halls be they kind today nay, a nuisance nirvana..
In Septenary's fortuned palms ? Her seraphims medievals hieroglyphic charms.

Premium Member The Farce Of Law

Posters painted
By law tainted
Rosaries rattling
Prayers prattling
Police swoop
Spirits droop
Whisked away
Because they pray
For children unborn
Innocent lives shorn
In abortion clinics
Cold cash for callous cynics

Winter

An icy wind blows
rattling the skeleton trees
singing a hollow song of woes
animals sleeping where no one sees

the sun is gone
the full moon shining
existence chilled to the bone
a single snowflake falls from the black sky lining
