sammy scampered up a tree

to see what she might see

so far she boosted

an old owl roosted

on sams precarious knee.

announced his dislike for tea

scampered high up a tall tree.

Blue Color

The color that is blue
Always put me in no clue

That whenever I wore this color
I always lose a dollar

I always been pampered
And I needlessly scampered

Of this blue color when I stopped wearing
Not a single day I find boring

The Mouse In Prayer Meeting

Once we had a prayer meeting
in our home…it was a humble place.
When all our friends were gathered there,
a mouse gave a merry chase.

He scampered across the living room floor,
we wished that we could die.
We prayed that the floor would open up
and swallow him…it didn’t-
But at least he was shy.

Determined

I saw a squirrel one day...
industrious was he
as he scampered on his way
with such tenacity !

 I watched him struggle
to stay atop the fence
as he managed to juggle
a slice of bread, quite immense !

Every time he would slip,
he'd climb back to the top,
with the prize still in his grip,
determined not to stop !

A Moment In Time

A Moment in Time

I want to feel the beauty
Of this moment
Stolen from the grasping hands
Of time
I want to shed the shroud 
Of despair that shrinks 
This heart of mine
I want to capture, arrest
This one moment in time
Is it not mine?
Alas it has already 
Gone, scampered away
Indifferent
I have lost it.

Creature From Another

Chic like a pair of shoes
Hair shiny like a trillion diamonds
Legs long, like miles of concrete
Face so rare yet unidentified
She was a woman 
Too many troubles within
Beauty so unspeakable
Her look was like a stoney glare
I tried to touch her
But so afraid in comparison
I scampered back into the ugly shadows like me

The Fox

I saw a fox today,
And all because there was a delay.

I was waiting for the early train,
And the fox appeared through the misty rain.

Fox jumped down onto the opposite track,
And off it scampered without looking back.

It knew exactly where to go,
It did me a favour and improved my mood, because I was wet and late and feeling low.

Premium Member A Tale of a Tail

A little squirrel sat down by me
   his tail as bushy as can be

 I spread some nuts in front of him
   He rejected them with his forelimb 

 Wondering what he desired of me
   I hummed an ancient melody

 He hummed along, or so it seemed
   Tapped his tail in time to my song

 Soon enough, scampered he away
   ~ glad he did not overstay

Premium Member twitchy

Fear not, doubt's dark whispers,
embrace the testing ground.

We face the same old existential dreads -
the unexpected twist, the vague essay prompt.

Genial birdsong mocked our anxious morning
and squirrels still scampered unconcerned.

“You’re a beautiful bundle of stress,” 
I assured Lisa this morning
as I handed her her water bottle.

Premium Member Triangle Rodeo Course

She 
Rode
Winning 
Eleven
World championships. 
Pushing hard with Scamper and Cruise, 
Charmayne scampered each season on Hell-for-leather rides,
Very fast, it was barrel or bust and swirling dust, each triangle rodeo course.

Squirrels, Three

Playing on the forest floor
I saw squirrels, three.
They scampered amongst the fallen leaves,
Then scurried up a tree.

I watched them in their antics
As they leapt from bough to bough,
Like acrobats on the high trapeze
Performing for a crowd.

Their joie de vivre apparent
It filled my heart with glee,
To see them running tail to tail,
Those little squirrels, three.

The Squirrel

Will you please give some
More cashews to chew pleasure
The squirrel asked us
It moved around the tree trunk
and chittered, its tiny eyes
Sparkling, I offered two more
White nuts on my palm
Nicely it came and took them
And gave out a whining sound
Four more scampered out
Of their burrows in cool shade
A cute mug of lemonade

Premium Member FLICKERWING AND THE MOONLIT CAT

Flickerwing the fairy,  
bright as morning dew,  
leapt onto Whiskerwood’s warm, soft back  
and off the two friends flew.

Through silver-shadowed treetops  
they scampered, swift and sly,  
switching petals, stirring giggles  
beneath a velvet sky.

And when the moon grows mellow  
and fireflies rise to chat,  
Flickerwing starts her mischief  
on the back of the moonlit cat.

Never Revealed

Shreded,remains secret,
First love bloomed with in,
Still resides in heart,
As black spot never revealed.

Melted never down,
Frozen white pellets.
Pampered never enough,
Baby lied in cradle.

Stabbed lines darkness, 
Rested back in source.
Elation crept,frosted
Scampered away to holes.

Sipped flies,nectar,
Moments blured,mind,  
Floated flairs,obscure
Like to shed it away...

Premium Member Thunder Storm

Thunder Storm Written: by Tom Wright 10-20-2016 I awoke this morning to lightening strikes, And listened intently to thunder’s sound; Praying for safety and for God’s protection, For somewhere they were striking ground. It’s one o’clock and sleep has scampered, Disrupted sleep makes a day appear long. Thunder was so loud the bed was shaking, God had me attentive to a firmament song.

Premium Member The Mouse

A mouse tore across her toes
then, a scream from her, or it
as it scampered up her hose;
did the boy do what was fit?

She coyly looked into his deep, dark eyes
he, glancing at her slightly parted thighs
soft said, " Ma’am, can I be of any aid?”
“It is but a mouse; do not be afraid.”

“It is a rat that I most fear,” she said
“with eyes so dark that see through me,
attack me in my bed,
sir, is that thee”?
“Yes”!

The Muse

~teddy and the muse~

It looked as a monkey
With a huge bushy tail
It entered the office 
Scarring brother Teddy
It scampered allover 
Teddy offered it a banana
It screeched baring its teeth
I call it a muse for lack
Of a suitable or better name
It was a creature of the forest
Dark and very swift on its legs
Who visited teddy yes a muse
I call it a muse for teddy keeps
Churning out brilliant pieces





(for Teddy)

Boundless Prejudice

ailing and exhausted
I cloak myself 
beneath the glittering orbs

my yearning
securely clasped
one more wound in my core

vanished is all despair..
chortle or mourn
foreboding only a murmur in the wind

once wistful
I scampered baying
torment piercing my soul

I  thought you mystical
and willingly followed
until treachery discarded my affection

I pray not for revenge
the infatuation was my own
I shall delight in detesting you

The Laugh of the Child

The laugh of the child
Frothy
Sugary
Rampant
Keen
Cuts through the haze
Buds forth the green
Scampered
Syrupy
Velvety
Honestly light
The laugh of the child

The cry of the babe
Frightened and lost
Snickery
Trickery
Spidery fright
Mother sooths
Early midnight
Mumbly
Kushushy
Sleepily lost

The mumble of the old man
Frothy
Brothy
Powdery
Toothlessly smacked
In arguing drivel snivel
Cracked
Yeasty
Doury
Dry
Earthbound
Dust

At the Shore

Drunk, by the sea I stood
I whispered into the air
“This is it… I’m dying…
With a bottle on my hand.”

Drunk, by the sea I sat
I stared into the sea
Thinking, deeply, of memories
Of anything that’s barely there
Of everything I left
Of nothing, and nothing at all.

Drunk, by the see I scampered
In search for words that seemed lost
Scampering, panting,
I lost ground.

And at my last breath, drunk
I muttered words
I bade goodbye
At the shore.

Premium Member pink teapot is angry with her

Blue-haired faerie Frisky had fallen into a land of weird.
An angry teapot was the one giant thing she feared.
He was irritated that the dress she wore, washed in Tide
Was the same exact color as his paint on the outside

He yelled at her unmercifully, wanting her to take it off
But she had no other clothes, so she merely scampered off.
His voice followed her all around the place, as did his magic cat.
She was thrilled when she finally woke up on her own bed mat.

Premium Member Frosty Valentines

“Frosty Valentines”     

Softly it fell
In the middle of the night
Its earth bound flight 
Turned meadows white
Trees all glistening bright

We scampered to the window
And held each other tight
We breathed upon the glass
And shaped it into hearts               
Added arrows from our pinkies
I Love Yous from our hearts 

We watched the morning sun
Glistening off the glass
Leaving our frozen mark
Treasured there for hours 
On this winter’s day

I Love You

The Nature Center

Wooded paths with fallen trees
And sunlight dappling through
Provided us with such a lovely
Sunday thing to do.

Deer were munching leaves and barely
Noticed us pass by,
While squirrels scampered from the ground
To branches way up high.

As Henry jumped from stump to stump
(The playground kept the theme),
I made his sister giggle
(Which is every Nana’s dream).

Although I am a city gal,
The forest has its charms,
The better to appreciate
With grandkids in one’s arms.
