Scavenger Hunt

I got to tell you about this dig
It made me dance the jig
I did it by night
With no one in sight
Out of my nose it was bloody big

Scavenger

I am a collector of natures splendors
Rocks, sand, plants and feathers,
Around the world they come together
All in one place for me to treasure.

Premium Member coyote thief

Coyotes are scraggly, ugly too
Eating carrion and roadkill overdue
She is a scavenger and a prey thief
Jackals enjoy kill until she makes it brief
Form: Rhyme

An Angry King

A lion roars
And there is fear;
He scatters hoards
With eyes so fierce.
Provoked by lords,
His wrath will pierce;
Scavenger soars
When fools are near.
Form: Rhyme

Trash Collector

The corrosion of caring creeps up at last,
Rust all around your heart
As flakes of red-brown flutter, powdering down,
Filling the scavenger cart
Of ashes and dust from the past.
It rolls away, fickle and fast.

A Place In Between

The eagle broods upon the nest
and gets upset and moody

"Would that I were a youngling still
like mine upon their cradle

no strings attached
no feeding times

and I a free scavenger..."


by Pyrgia

{inspired by quote #5}

A Glimpse

One day
I saw
Up high
Above, a
Discernable shape
Of a Golden Eagle,
Scavenger supreme,
Gliding solitary,
Amid a sky
Of cerulean hue.
Suddenly,
It veered left,
Diminishing,
In height,
Then sight,
Finally receding,
Beyond
The Mountain
Of Bennachie.

dead and alive you enslave ---

Question
Is it a myth
The Death Dancing Butterfly
Large elaborate graceful
       Eerie
Scavenger deadly unusual
Rare mystical species
Lethal insect

Premium Member CARAPACE SCAVENGER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tiny carapace scavenger—borrowed home wobbles across tidal gossip, the ocean's leftover breath. One claw dips into a vanishing puddle, testing the myth of endless retreat. The tide writes, then rewrites, its invitation in evening sand.

Premium Member coyotes eating habits

scavenger coyotes crave carrion
gobbling down roadkill of which they are fond
they will eat anything crawling, stumbling, dead or alive
just saw of pack of them, I think there were five
jackals are like their cousins the coyotes too
except they also eat berries, they especially like blue
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Light Bulb In the Forest

dainty scavenger floats down
onto a mystery orb 
peeks through her pretty window

wondering at the sheer beauty
of this effervescent petal
something mystical about her

An anomaly in the woods
Possibly grown by the 
Felled tree

Never saw a full grown oak
landing in this spot before
A magic moment
Form: Verse

Grateful for your love
Ratchet old cottonwood tree looks dried out and dead to me
Winters temperatures scavenger cold long Robin perched above
O' behold what a wonderful God who provides for them and us
       --Always

So thankful
I AM soul grateful for His love

Premium Member My Calling, My Purpose

only my soul knows
how to find my purpose in life
life has been a scavenger hunt
It began as an adventure
seeking to find answers 
to so many questions
while on this journey
I came face to face with situations
and at that moment
I knew what path to follow

Scavenger

A monstrous vulture
Wants the more some torture:
A blistered body further rupture;
The carrion give a worse picture 
That should still stick after a future…
It never shall worth a camera’s capture:
Every pulsating but nauseating culture,
The body- jolting which scavengers nurture:
Champions of the bad table manners of The Immature.
Form: Rhyme

Gratitude To My Teachers

Thank you teachers for teaching us 
Thank you teachers for being there for us
Thank you teachers for everything that you do
Without you we would be stuck like glue
A big thank you for teaching us on zoom and for the sleepover
Your memories in my heart will never get over
I think the scavenger hunt was sweet 
It felt like we were in for a treat

Nirvana

I am liquid moonlight;
The ashes of dreams.
I am the realization of the impossible;
The renunciation of thought, serene.
I am the swimming seasons of time;
The memories yet to come.
I am the flawless equilibrium of the outcaste scavenger;
The infinite equanimity of the illuminate sun.
I am the embodiment of dispelled desire;
The sage.
I am the squire.

A Goodbye Caused By Discrimination

Goodbye friend indeed
For I wish not to say this
Class has given the verdict
Coins have won the battle
Thus they say
Inferior is my clan
They say I am a gold digger
They called me a scavenger
They say rag is my skin
I tell you
I wish not to be an eminent of pauper
Fingers are not equal
All fruits don't ripen the same time
Oh fate!
Partiality is your name.

The Ghoulette Becomes Breakfast

The Ghoulette Becomes Breakfast


‘I’m so so in 
the Halloween spirit—a scavenger hunt I’m hosting. I’ve hidden bloody axes, scythes etc. in
my backyard, however I’m 
terribly upset I won’t be able to attend tonight,’
screamed The Ghoulette in fright
in a stork’s oven roasting in the light. 

A too famished stork had kidnapped her,
had kidnapped her with great skirr.
Form: Rhyme

Cold Reaper

I scorn the scowls
of winter’s reaper
steel slicing scythe
his corded calamity!

Who grabs the life
from my chest
a killing clutch
his murderous glee!

Cold stagnant breath
rots my cheek
putrid frigid blight
his icy stagnancy!

Loud howling voice
a solemn knell
the endless tolling
his ringing revelry!

Oh scavenger of
dark March day
die a death
so set me free!
Form: Rhyme

Expose and Conquer

In pursuit of dreams
Soak it with desire 

Absorb integrity and wisdom
Wring it all upon
Each soul having the
Privilege of
Brushing up against 

Continually scavenger hunt
Nit pick if necessary
Each lovely glistening
Fragment on this earth
Which ignites
The depths within 

Bare demons
For this is the only
Way to face them 

They will become
Embers that thaw
Your path

Afternoon Delight

Like a red-eyed scavenger you
devoured my thoughts one by one.
You sometimes sit with
predatory hands, waiting to snatch any
word that can be used against me.
You hear me but you never listen,
for that would take too much effort.
You are not what I always thought you were.
No, you are just one of the rubber gloved elite,
an aging debutante peering at the faded portraits
through your own weathered prism.
