As feathers ruffle, they show toughness where they stand. Tough Old Birds don’t fly,

Reflections

Like waves of mem'ry
Attracting my attention,
The breezes ruffle
The water's shining mirror
Distorting leaves and branches.

August Departure

I could not see anything wrong
With getting a tan in a thong
But it made Jan ruffle
when it failed to muffle
Spicy chili con carne pong
Form: Limerick

Bleeding age

Trapped in a cage wrapped in a rage. 
Nearing to an age, bleeding page. 
Forever in an age, vomit all over. 
No ruffle saved a rotting brain.

Premium Member Purple Dress

Cocktail purple dress
Lays on the pink ruffle quilt
With silver dress shoes
For the violet gala
In the indigo nightfall

Dawn

Rouse
Awaken
unfurl
I rise

Ruffle
get up 
game time
start to play

Tickled 
I wonder
What comes 
in surprise 

Open door
sunshine
say hello
brand new day

Premium Member White Butterflies

White butterflies ruffle
in late August's brindled garden
like petals lingering
in undulating ash of morning breeze.
Thorns of your absence
perforate my aching chest.

As the wind ruffles the white Daisy's petals
So His desire is to touch your white head
Ruffle your Spirit stirring It up to Good work
Bringing forth your greatest Gift for all people

Premium Member Clowns

Colourful or creepy
Love them or loathe
Oversized shoes and a red nose
White painted faces, afro style hair
Neckwear a ruffle or a large bow
Stumble fun antics, entertainment their show.

The Beach

crisscross clouds
leave unseen tracks

warm sands 
ruffle velvet shoals

ocean sprays
release salty tears

fine pebbles 
squeeze wrinkled soles

sapphire waves
grind sparkling glass

supple limbs
explore hazy shores

Forget That Word

In this age of various disturbance,
whether fuss, aggrevation, outbursts,
spirits in ruffle, 
take a deep breath, close your eyes,
think of serenity as better wise,
be calm, read a favorite psalm
and forget that word, 'kerfuffle'

Frightening

The winds ruffle the 
solitude. Sparrows were 
watching me.

*

My name was floating
 in dark. I want to burn the 
book, to throw some light.

*

Violence will toss 
you around, when you 
are wearing the grass.

Premium Member Crying In the Moonlight

My breath was but a soft whisper,
not enough to ruffle the leaves of a willow
but he heard me crying in the moonlight.
With tender kisses he soothed my fears,
held me close within the circle of his arms,
until I no longer had reasons for my tears.

Arrival

I have reached a place
Of peace

Unhindered by expectation


No varience of action
On the part of others

Whether of positive
Or otherwise nature


May ripple the waters
Or ruffle feather one

As I have seen the
Interminable value of peace

Flamingo Dance

Flamingo Dance

Such a prissy flashy crowd
Pink burlesque feathers sashay left.
One leg up the other down
Drop the neck and touch the ground
Graceful poses in bright hue
Ibis dances two by two
Shuffle faster, ruffle feathers
Real life pink Flamingo dancers.

Premium Member Good Medicine

Seagulls sailing by; Ruffle my hair with A soft winging song; Heard only by my Listening spirit. Salty scents waft From the water; I find repose Here by the sea. It’s embrace Warms my soul Clarity Is mine; Thank you Sea.

Premium Member Worries

unspoken,unsaid
swirl,whirl
ripple,ruffle
tease,torture
delve,funnel
foreboding burrows,
in narrow tunnels;

Fazed,crazed
imagined fancies,
unnerve,unsettle
weigh down
upset perturb;
abound and tease 
with imagined dis-ease.

Fasten Smiles Upon Me Say

I'm not old fashioned I'm just from a time when everything was better ! Tether me with flowers bring me sunshine everyday ! Do not ruffle up my feathers when I'm doing it my way ! Fasten smiles upon me say, "Go ahead, do it your way !"

Premium Member Turkey Dinner Turn Tail and Run

A wild gobbler strutted into the woods,
it did not see all the camouflage hoods, 
straight into a turkey shoot; 
trips over a gnarly root, 
with ruffle feathers made off with its goods.

The Ocean

This day, the ocean within that I glimpse between the light and dark – is still. No wind or waves ruffle it. Is it an image of peace, or only a vista of doldrums? Perhaps with my ever changing moods best to wait, better to drink from these depths without judgment.

Words pamper words
Unscathed, unheard


Lewd remarks rip
A one-way trip


Taunt and ruffle
Whim makes trouble


Hostile mindset
A coward frets


Why do we write?
That soul may cite


Bliss knows true joy
Flings sanguine ploys

Premium Member Summer Melody

Swallows return bringing summer 
Heat waves ruffle the spring air
Banyan tree’s scorched shadow simmers
As soil cracks in sunshine flare.

Night falls with ashes of burnt sky
With cool touch southern wind blows
Stars twinkle summer melody
Lifts up my parched mind morose.

Premium Member Garden Activity Every Day

Delightful daisy dances in the wind
She holds a dandelion against her chin
Two daffodils have a tiny scuffle
Marigold laughs and shakes her ruffle

There is garden activity every day
Produce and flowers need to play
They have to while their time away
Come and join us, please say you’ll stay.

Premium Member Defiance


       Oh, trouble...trouble, trouble,  trouble...
   I refuse to let you ruffle feathers of mine.

 High mountain, don't dare stand in my way;
  I'll push and claw my way to your summit!

  Dear obstacle, I defy you! Put me through 
    Any test, and I shall pass it; God willing.
