she scoffs and laughs

not caring that they used to love each other

Medicine Woman resposes at the top of the summit
surveying her village, protecting her tribe
a brave’s job, her mother scolded her
Medicine Woman scoffs, keeping a sharp eye out

The wish
The face on the mirror scoffs at me
I’m an illusion and cannot die
Yet, I see him late at night, watching
“a house on the prairie.” crying
Sentimental fool
Wishes he was me on a bright day
When the mirror is in the shade

Soft marches
spawn bravado
and cavalier soldier
He who scoffs
at distant gunfire
to meet its fury
Untested untried
untempered
his blade of little worth
As conflict preys
on the folly
— of the paper lion

The Sahara is another vast sea
Of zero-edge horizons
And remote hours of austerity
For "sailors" upon caravans
And the Sun beams mercilessly
And seems cruel to patrons
Until the Wind scoffs haggardly
And reshapes its art of dunes.

Chinese Dave is not Chinese, he just likes Chinese food,
He’ll eat it till his tummy bursts whene’er he’s in the mood.
He scoffs Chow Mein and Egg Foo Yung and Fried Rice by the plateful,
And then his botty burps. Oh dear! Stand back! You will be grateful.

OThe sexual smile the birth and death of kings,
The Plathian axe, the tree, and how it ringd
The horse unsaddled throws its mistress off
The ending of a life, the voice that scoffs.
Even the ugliest man can tell good lies
How a woman’s beauty hurt men’s eyes.
The sexual smile the enemy,the child
The hint of promise paralysed his smile

Sunday Football
Winning prospect nears
Sunday football cheers
Men folk gather ‘round
Women, also found.
All are TV bound.
Who gets the ball?
Heads wins the call.
Captains’ close-up!
Energy pumped.
The coin toss…
No team scoffs.
The kick-off!
Teams play.
Dreams stay.
Game…

Diminished Hexaverse
Melody of the west wind
Wafts into the courtyard
Tickling the fresh buds of an apple tree
I am enthralled, excited, enthused
Singing commences
A ditty I make up in honor of wind
An appreciative cloud gives me a nod
I feel validated
Oak tree scoffs
He is not as easily won over as wind or cloud
Matters not, I continue singing the wind song
Feeling the excitement of spring

who gets the credit for the lightbulb, Dad?
Dad scoffs, easiest question he has ever had
That is Edison son, Thomas was his first name
Ask me again, and I’ll tell you the same
What about the motion picture camera, who invented it?
Dad is bamboozled now, but determined to not throw a fit.
His wife? He guesses, making his wife smile in her cutest way.
Edison dad! yells the child, who runs out to play.

WRITING FOR A CONTEST
If I write
for a contest
I battle
with my Pen
My Pen
likes to go
Where it pleases
Wander through forests
Jump over fences
Dance around moons
My Pen
doesn’t care
Who watches
Who claps
Who smiles or frowns
My Pen
Scoffs at scores
My Pen
Stomps on numbers
Ignores prizes
My Pen
Grinds up glory
But
My Pen
Doesn’t
pay the bills

These are the times when the walls talk
The bricks sneer and the tile floor scoffs at you
Disapproving, mocking, judging
It’s a quiet conversation
You can’t quite grasp the words
Muttered to your ears only
Yes, the others are excluded
From this one-sided discussion
So they don’t understand
When you can’t hear them
And when you stare blankly at the wall
Because they aren’t aware
That those walls are tormenting you

COPLA 93 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
The lone wolf shies away from the pack
The tyrannosaur scoffs at his kind :
Systems with it
Tiglons roam lone on the beaten track -
Fall prey the gnu foal lame and blind :
Systems well-knit
Stand alone and the pack will hunt you
Lose your integrity to live safe :
The human fate
The Overman’ll camp on the volcano
Far from the humdrum crowd’s stifling life :
Asylum bait

Dramatic Monologue
May does not know happiness at all.
I leave her sitting there, clueless, angry and small.
I help others up and it makes me happy when I am down, I say.
She scoffs at this stupidity and tells me to get out, go away.
I am depressed, and I want to die she yells, her voice a boom.
I leave her wallowing in her self-imposed cloud of ugly gray gloom.
She is determined to not help anyone, including herself, I think.
If I could force her to do good, it might change her aura to pink.

Mentally endowed enough,
to take the piffle from your puff,
and ram it home, sweet butter cup,
side effects are frightening,
miscarriage of justice, can put you off
and pride slips cos you're the Toff
that damaged goods, while cancer scoffs.
Not so enlightening.
thick as your arm is mental charm,
which may be so inviting,
don't even want to cause alarm.
yet love is still exciting

Who dares rouse Leviathan,
the Giant beneath the heaving deeps?
This world now teams with Ahabs
whose heaping anger never sleeps.
Each one wants to hook its jaw
and each to press its tongue;
to try its rich and fragrant oil
and see it bound and beached and dumb.
Poor soul captains on fragile ships
vainly sharpening the barbless spear.
The Whale scoffs beneath the waves,
rising to teach all wisdom through fear.
Soon the Brute will breach and blow
and send each Pequod down below.
