Maybe you should write one about ants

shattering 
his serenity...
roiling
the stagnant waters
of his bitter past

Premium Member Poetry Soup

A warm clear broth
Steaming
In a simmering silence
Gently roiling
Over controlled heat
Bubbling
To the surface
A scent
Of satiation’s sadness
Unfulfilled

Premium Member Whiteboard Gold

roiling with rainfall

effacement of whiteboard gold

    smudge of sunset highs

bleak venue of tinkling notes

           rusting aluminum roof

lifted on roiling currents...
touching our senses

Premium Member Poppycock

Percolating perfect poppycock, pretentious, impolite.
Roiling resistance to reverent recourse, rudiment rap.
Ceaseless sass surrendered to cell; spoiled sediments settle.

Premium Member Eap -Fear

Fear is the impetus which doubt provides:
with the roiling of false pride
of the sought for safety decry!
By the power of prophesy let fear hide
as the brave push forward let love abide.

Premium Member Midnight Storm

Ships aground all around rolling, roiling waters of midnight’s sudden surprise storm. Willful winds usurp and fling sea vessels hither and yon uncaring ruthless rush.

All Chris’s pals started calling him yellow 
He stopped playing ball took up the cello 
His poor head is boiling 
After such a roiling 
Dunking it in the pool, helps him mellow

Premium Member Whirlpool

Luckless vessel plucked from the surface; sucked into uncharted fathoms. Relentless, roiling vortex consumes all evidence. Sated, exhausted, swirling eddy dissipates. All is calm.

old tree standing bare
fitful workings underneath
grizzly bear asleep

what the earthworm hears
a mighty boiling nether
blue sky    sunshine

level plane
sky    forest asleep
mighty roiling beneath

Range

Ridged peaks, rolling foothills
reach over our region,
rest under snow blankets,
recover from roiling,
raging summer wildfires.
Reeling smoke will only
return with a vengeance.

Premium Member The End of Day

A wind
Soft sweetness on its curl
Teases
The towering pines
To swaying
‘rocking
On its roiling breath
Whispers
Of a dinner
Spent in calm
Of beauty
Slipping
Twixt its gusts
A metronome
Of tortured flags
Taps
The end of day

Premium Member I Am Anger

I cannot see my face in boiling water, 
I stomp and topple lids, the steam escapes in waves. 
The roiling gas, the heat, and far more hotter,
is the hurt it masks beneath—the one that craves
a way to say the words without the slaughter.

Commoner

Commoner


Nature that we daily hear or see
Is dull- “it bestows us no glee.”
Would its Anatomy we dissect
There is what we did not suspect:

Roiling in Tea Cups; fierce storms
That opens grisly can of worms!

My Words Washed You Away

I stole the surges of the ocean and the glory of the wave,
the roiling seas as recompense for what you never gave.

And I thought that I might see you at the dock or by the bay,
and I thought that you might love me, but my words washed you away.

Premium Member Rapture

drifting past the isle
on sapphire seas like warm silk 
my heart dreams of you
moonfaced in rapture roiling
your nether world edged onyx

part the limbs of land
breech the shores of lunar orbs
rest the lance dear one
upon the sole opal pearl
climax with earthly delight

Open Sesame - No Way Back

The Genie’s left
the bottle
A.I. is in
the air

To rule the skies
and earth below
The ‘ultimate’
au pair

Life roiling
in the mixture
Of facts
forever spun

To take control
of all that’s told
With humans
— on the run

the knife
slicing through
leaving 
no wound
paddling
pushing
pulling
in rhythm
and tune
unrelenting
smooth 
steady
strokes 
pounding
kicks
hard 
fast
roiling
boiling
churning
yearning
shooting high
floating 
flailing 
freely
back
into itself
again
and
again
and...
...

Best Left Buried

i sit and stare into the stars
and think upon my life
bringing out long faded scars
my inner roiling strife

inside my soul my anger wells
and i can feel my soul is fading
and as my misery starts to swell
i still can feel my heart is breaking

the past defines who we are,
even if it's filled with pain

Premium Member Galactic Ocean

galactic ocean

elysian waves roar
 roiling galactic ocean ~
  a stellar fanfare

celestial shores gleam
 with an astral signature ~
  the cosmic heart beats
   
nebulas birth seas
 from swirling coral-blue clouds ~
  seaways of star glitz

hymns of starry rhythms
 sentinels for delta stars ~
  tides of star stories

The overcast sky wept quietly.
It’s tears joining with the Earth’s breathe.
Mountain peaks and ridges covered with evergreens
pierced the roiling, gray firmament.

Parasoled people paraded past shops, 
selling candied ginger and quince.
Road weary tourists bathed their frozen feet 
in street side hot springs
And, so, the day commenced.

On the Rocks

what candle pressed against the wind
a winding trail unfolds 
down the cliffside 
into the storm
where a treasure lies to behold
a thousand jagged teeth
Peirce the roiling spew
a promise of paradise 
the desperate never knew
and down the cliff should you falter
lose your balance and fall
in hopes of happy ever after
soon never after all

Precipitation

a placid scene
under eyeliner horizon
dew drops tearing across canopied skies

roiling thunder
shaking the earth and heavens
a flood falls, staining porcelain facade

the stream snaking its way
through flat-topped mountains
and forests untouched by man

the river returning to its origin
a sordid spring once wet with creation
now run dry by rage
