I've eyes which scarcely twinkle.
a nose I cannot crinkle.
Here's what I thinkle,
It's a real stinkle.
To rhyme with periwinkle.

Premium Member Under the veil of grief

Her wish can never be.
She blows out birthday candles with effort.
Scarcely holding back the tears.

Rbg's Body Lies Amoldering In the Grave

RBG's body had scarcely grown cold
when the White House made a decision most bold
to instate a supreme judge cast in its mold.
and liberty's soul is up to be sold.

The Blond Daisy Garden Dies In No Sunshine

Blond daisies strip petals softly
              in nearest trembling grains snow.
                 Sunshines stumbles scarcely
        above ever rich had daisies' seeding grow.

Boundless Pastures

Boundless pastures, velvety green,
Between the forests there;
Sheep and shepherds, gujjars and buffalos,
Present a heaven’s scene:
Scarcely seen—in fog.
Sad soul! How benevolent is life there
And how hard in real.

Premium Member Whispers of An Angry Wind

With blaring voice, You've stolen her life away. I think, My heart shall ne'er mend. Caused you the trees to snap, And sway. Now the softness of your voice, Scarcely causes the grass to bend.

Exclusive wise men merely elect the poetry road. On a mysterious slate, visionaries upload. They scarcely observe chalk fixed to class desks. His odd name is etched with crucial specks.

Self-Portrait

My hair is as the chestnut,
My eyes are china blue.
To a radish I am ancient;
To a tree I'm scarcely new.
I am tall and I am slender,
Both intelligent and nice--
Till I affix a picture fair,
May this portrait well suffice.

The Swimmer

little I discerned of pious words-
and idle twitter
scarcely had I known what I would find
among the dregs
it's a bitter pill to swallow
when a victory is hollow...
it's all downhill from here me thought
as I touched upon the egg!

The Age of the Vague and Fearful

I have some trembling hands;
   I can scarcely type a word.
   The Age of Pessimism has passed
   Like the sweeping dress of a ballroom dancer
   From another passed time,
   So we find ourselves in the
   Age of the Vague and Fearful.

Coffee 11-08-2021

My eyes can barely open, My mind can hardly think, Everything is sluggish, ’Til I smell that coffee stink: I scarcely need to taste it, For before it meets my lip, The day becomes more vivid; More so with every sip!

A Matador

a hero in the heart
where blood spills over dust
scarcely missing polished boots

palms to the lips
and a kiss to crowds who cheer
his downing of the beast

abanico and acero
grace at the altar of horns
for love in the dances of death

Winter's Evening

Orangey hues sifting through leaves.
Persimmon, peach, pumpkin I believe.
Blackened before the glow, tree branches and ends.
Through crystal panes, the shadows descend.
Scarcely enough to ignite the sky.
Day becoming night, as the Sun bids goodbye.

Thoughts Written: by Tom Wright January 2015 Thoughts Coming to light today Weigh heavily, On tomorrows outcome And are short lived, For the midwife has scarcely departed Before they’ve sprouted legs Or became forgotten.

Who You Are

You
You had to 
Grow up much too fast
Scarcely got to laugh
Have a tale as beautiful as it is sad.

You
You want to be okay
But it can’t be today
You wonder if you’ll ever be laughin’.

You came to bring peace
But not for yourself
For someone else.

Life Written: by Tom Wright January 2015 The more alternatives Life affords you, The greater your opportunity To mess it up. While some may feast on life Leaving not a remnant, Others will face death With plates scarcely touched.

Bountyless

It's not perceived to that amount
that beauty be a bounty.
That men should lose their place in life
squared scarcely to the county.

A world where love's deemed passionate
and shan't be claimed until.
A place for love to fascinate
and make it seem more real.

Zoom Crush, Or the Blatant Staring Allowed In Virtual Meetings

Your face is tiny on my screen,
one square among the twenty-two - 
but rising out of my laptop, 
somehow you fill the entire room. 

The professor talks away but 
I scarcely listen, for meanwhile,
I can spend the whole meeting with
my eyes fixed on your smile.

Two Little Words

Just two words and my life was over,
Just two words ‘till I died,
To measly little words,
Six little letters,
And I could scarcely breathe,
They echoed around my head,
Making it hard to think,
Just two little words,
Six little letters,
And I died,
Lost forever.

Outofsight

A line smudged and fading
lies drawn in the sand
      tide and time ambiguous
unrecognized by this hand

A dim light scarcely flickers
      in darkest lonely void
beyond a rolling swell
      too far distant to tell
if it might have been your
      last farewell

Impartial reasonable
Judging mediating adjudicating
Life is never more than nearly fair
Closing approaching reaching
Hardly scarcely
