Premium Member samanthas tree

sammy scampered up a tree

to see what she might see

so far she boosted

an old owl roosted

on sams precarious knee.

Premium Member Poetic Mouses Dilemma

poetic mouse channeled Coleridge
no one noticed
he channeled Poe
Ravens roosted next to his missive
unfortunately,
his muse Thoreau
would not let him
beat them off with a broom

Premium Member Two Doves: a 55 word story

A widower once had a spring visitor,  a dove with no mate. It roosted in a tree near where the old man often sat. It cooed to him.

One day the man's daughter looked for him, he was gone. She was startled by the sudden flight of two doves.

The old man was never found.

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy birthday to you
You haggard old hand
You've age like a goose egg
in spots of your brand

And roosted so easy
in eggs come out right
When your children are spotting
your colors to right

And you're father for honor
of color and blight
Where together your sharing
what love is to sight

And we wish you your birthday
be happy for dad
When your wish is in giving
us birthday shared fad

Blue Harvest Moon

Comes silently
on sorrel moccasins

roosted on tortoiseshell
of root cellar

singing, stumbling
in numb imaginings

lit with half-light
vegetables
squeezed in jars
of russet and avocado

above
a cornice of sky
split with laughter
searching
for broken arrowheads
gold and silver among leaves

air billowed white
from lips
soft frail bones
of snowflakes
magically appear
scattering in breath
taken away
into apple night
