Divinity

Divinity

Divine footprints in the sand.
Divinity within your hands.
Sacredly encompassing where you stand.
Holding it all together like a rubber band.

Premium Member Flying Speed

Stripping the fingertips off your hand
Snaps quickly, just like a rubber band
You type so fast
Words that will last
Flying speed, it’s nothing like quicksand

STRETCH



I'M STRETCHING TIME LIKE A RUBBER-BAND
THAT REFUSES TO BREAK
TO THE END OF UNKNOWN BOUNDARIES
UNTIL THE CRACK THAT ENDS IT ALL
I FEEL

Love Is Like a Rubber Band

After stretching it a bit 
If any one of you, two 
Release the end you hold 
Will hit the other like a rubber band 
As love’s two ends 
Ended, one in yours 
And the other in your partner’s hand.

Premium Member I Won't Shrink

I won't shrink.  I'll take a stand,
and stretch out like a rubber band.
I won't give up.  I'll right this ship,
and keep it together like a paper clip.
A poem is easy for a heart that's stout -
I just need some Bic Wite-Out.

                             Stretch the rubber band a little further
                             The human cannonball
                                                  - short-haul flight
                              Some stunts work better than others

Newborn Potential

The quality of
The tape itself
May vary,
But the 1812 Overture
On an off-brand is better
Than ‘Mary had a little lamb’
On Maxell

The size of the rubber band
Is limiting
But six inches stretched to seven
Is wasted,
When four can be stretched to eleven
Quite well.

Epigram 3

 If the universe has a limit, will the limitation 
Be a wall, made of elastic a rubber band that
Can be overextended to the breaking point 
A balloon that can be pierced at will, or like
The horizon, you see it, but it can`t be reached.
And what is beyond the boundary?

I Wake Up Like a Cat In Love

I wake up like a cat;
you know how a cat is. The way it
opens its eyes, not seeing anything
but looking into its muscle and bones,
then how it blinks slowly---so slow
that its eyelids wash its mind
of anything but satisfaction.
I even arch my back
just to stretch
that rubber band of pleasure.

Premium Member observing baby ostrich queen

baby ostrich queen of the land
stretches her wings like a rubber band
snaps back together and gives a squawk
we like to see this one wobble walk

baby ostrich queen with voice a squeak
to your life we would ask one tiny peek
she waddles away waving her feather tail
post office maybe? To get the mail?

Divide

"I have spent a lifetime separating,"
like the spaces between his fingers,

or the breaths between our lips-
his taut, 
like pulling back a rubber-band that snaps on mine
and hangs loose

or the riverbed of crimson sheets
between our lying figures-

turned away from our closed hearts
and open eyes

I Know

There is a realm of consciousness
That occurs daily
This is something that tends to be relentless
, but if so maybe 
If I would cry twice 
My God from heaven will 
Offer his hand
Strapped to a rubber band
There is no way out of death 
Except through execution 
And anamoyous tips
Kissing words with no lips

Premium Member My super thick hair

plaiting my hair
tantamount to braiding three plastic slides
it is thick and unruly
with several minds of its own
determined to lash out in all directions

to prevent this catastrophe
when it gets long enough to ponytail
I put a rubber band around the ends
and use garden shears to lop off the length
sometimes breaking the shears

Premium Member The Devil's Polliwog

As a carefree youth, I did roam,
'til I took this thing home.
'Twas in a puddle by a log -
the devil's polliwog.  

To you, I will gladly confess,
it made my life a mess.
It never turned into a frog -
the devil's polliwog. 

I'd snap like an old rubber band,
but, on the other hand,
my sink, it will always unclog,
the devil's polliwog.

Caravan

You don’t pick radishes. 
You pull radishes, bent over
Workin’ backwards, ten hours. 

Rubber band ‘em by the dozen
Bushel full, boss pays eight bits. 
Twenty bushel good day. 
Band 99 cents at the Kroger.

Make it to America, land 
Of opportunity. Walk for 
Your children, pull for your
Grandchildren.

Premium Member Army of Flies


Army of flies
Waste away in lies

Chase away tomorrow
To feed on sorrow

The world fades to black
Love is what we lack

Green leaves turn gold
As the chaos begins to unfold

Army of flies find
Their swords to grind

No place to call home
So ever they roam

Rubber band belief
They'll never know relief

Army of flies
Waste away in lies


Twinkle Twinkle

On the edge of the universe that’s rapidly expanding
 I see it all
Nebulas form 
Black holes consume
I see angels fall
Oceans violently crash 
Satellites orbit
A yellow dwarf gamma ray blast
Energy incredible
Radiation inevitable
Solar wave’s receivable
Speed of light inconceivable
The universe continues to expand
But one day will snap back like a rubber band

Premium Member Nature's Wake

.

      The morning's bright 
       lit the once black in 
             mine eyne

     The tips of mine digits 
on my hands and on mine feet 
pulled me like the rubber band
       in a mighty stretch

               mine thus
                yawned

       And after my wake
   nature had me reach for
                the you
           
              yesss you

The Neck of My Breathing

it burns
my punishment
for
speaking out
my leg thigh
feels the pain
my teeth throb
my eyes feel scratchy

heaven help me
because
Justice never will 

it feels like
a rubber band
around my
head

why?
won't they come and
stop crime

Premium Member Success Is a Strange Definition:

Success is a strange definition:
Larger in the mind of an onlooker –
Smaller in the hands of a heritor –
In truth – without a measurement.

It can be exaggerated like a rubber band.
It can be dragged through the mud –
Rescued – cleaned and whitened up.
It can be far to sight or close at hand –

Pleasant to the eye on a resumé –
On a statement or ring like a melody
To the hearer of such rhapsody
Or with a shrug – be explained away.

Voices

Why do I have these twisted thoughts?
That leave me stretched out like a used rubber band.
So I must beware the voice inside my head,
My instincts tell me to act fast…
But I'm too scared to move,
Can't you help me?

The voice echoes within my skull,
Steering me into madness,
Every word and every action controlled by it.

Even though I want to try,
Should I just give up to this madness? 

Searching for an answer until it forces me to surrender.

Stretched

Personal and spiritual growth
is like a rubber band ...

Stretched beyond our limits, 
or so we think .... we'll snap

We need only to remember .... 
Who is doing the stretching

For He will not take us farther
beyond what we are able to endure

It hurts, its uncomfortable, we may even cry
but we come out stronger for it

We grow in wisdom, we grow in love
as to what others are going through

Yes, that rubber band may stretch
but it will never break in His loving Hands
