Premium Member Two Lovers

two lovers 
together
on a seesaw
one on each end
going up and down
in time 
in opposite directions
with one heartbeat


The Milkman and His Mistress

The farmer's wife and milkman  played seesaw
Their sighs weren't  heard as two donkeys brayed  He-Haw

Premium Member Not Too Fat, Just Too Short

Measuring up depends
on which way you look at it
a seesaw rocks from side to side
a pendulum swings to and fro
who says which side the weight is placed
on a pairs of scales.

Premium Member Seesaw

I see you,
In everything I see.

I saw you,
In everything I saw.

You see,
I see.

You saw,
I saw.

There's no reason,
to deny, 

What we've seen,
Or what we saw.

Premium Member Small Talk

a tender smile
brings rapport,
a seesaw thrill
releases
        a tense tang,
a humorous
             aside
banishes dread,
reminences
     flood memory
         with delight

Premium Member A Seesaw

When I was a lithe young lad at the age of three This chunky lad on a seesaw launched me into a tree Yelled out for help As a branch I felt Entering an orifice that the sun don't see

Premium Member Giggles and Guffaws

The way to get through is just giggle and guffaw All waking hours, till you get sore in the jaw It's my age old philosophy Slow down life's velocity And rising and descending on my homemade seesaw
fun

Sal, Fish And Doug - Nonsense Poetry

oh
Sal saw sea
beyond the seesaw

but
did her fish suit swimming
in a flashy swimsuit

Doug, her dog 
at the pantomime
groans a panting moan

then 
Sal, fish and Doug
did a selfie on her phone

Premium Member Seeing Both Sides

Listen to poem:
Standing up, on top
straddling the seesaw
one foot on each side, now.
Whichever way I lean
sends the upside down
and the downside up.
Slippery slide 
to the flip-side
is unworkable.
It's lunge, parry
riposte.

Premium Member Christmas is Here

Hobby horse watched as Peter touched the train with awe.
Teddy bear was watching snowman, glad he was not about to thaw.
Puppy put his head down to think about a lovely winter gnaw.
Amid Christmas tree, drums, and seesaw.

Seesaw
Flip flop

Upside
Down go

Switch on
Turn off

Nothing
Between

One or
Zero

No if's
Or maybe's

Black white
Day night

No dawn
No dusk

Binate
Just state

Love me?
Hate me?

'Tis Which?
Choose one!

Contrived

Triggered emotions,
ran haywire,
in veins,
pulsing all along,
the perfume,
gently rubbed,
at vantage points,
was jigjagged,
in seesaw,
told people around,
that it was my sound,
that I had arrived,
totally and fully contrived.

Premium Member Life's Seesaw

Dreams,desires,bitter so sweet
An adolescent trail trodden,
Engulfed by moods,melancholy and sudden;
Aches from a first love leaving,
Painful ye poignant;
Novel experience sadden,then abates
Then will gladden
As mellowed..anticipation awaits.

Premium Member The Playground At Dawn

The playground at dawn,
so quiet and still,
with no hint that anything could move.

Still swings;
a roundabout covered with frost,
a seesaw with no child.

No dogs at that time;
no cats - they must be somewhere else;
no hint of later on.

Premium Member A Floral Striptease

Take a walk with the honeybees,
wade into a wafting Spring breeze;
Relish pollen bringing a sneeze
floral strip tease, floral strip tease;

Swarming with hues I’m left in awe,
such pure beauty without a flaw;
Laughs return to an old seesaw;
A heart in thaw, a heart in thaw.

Life

Life comes and goes,
               seesaw,
            perpendicular...!
           Forward and backward,
            highs and lows...
          Tide,
          wave,
          roller coaster...
          without this... sans movements
          there would be no life...!

Time Passing

Time, cool
moving through patience.
On the edge of suddenly,
on the brink of death.
Waiting to be born,
hedging off of expected.

The cage bird sings,
an exile to hope,
a child waits for Christmas
mornings sitting with joy.
How does your seesaw balance?
Which way does wind blow west?

Premium Member Skew-Whiff

Listen to poem:
see the seesaw sea
send its waves to rock 
the barrel stave wooden seahorse 
to and fro, askew and slow

though I'm feeling 
skew-whiff in the waddle
and iffy sickly not well
I think I'll stay
riding the bare-back bronco
to whittle the whiles away 
letting the be, what's may
till the break of day

Old Naughty Neighbours Still Play Seesaw

His shadow chasing hers under the stars mirrored on the glass of their frosted window. Dim lights off , window opens Hid are all their seesaw movements Oh ,at last ! that awkward view now gone But what I cannot see, I can still hear.

If All Were Children

if all were children
the world would be better
the world would be a playground,

if all were children
there’d be no  tainted thoughts
no stains of bloodshed
the world would be pure 

if all were children
there’d  be equality without judgment,
a level of freedom and harmony
and living would balance like a seesaw

Premium Member Fever Dreams

Delirious desires cackle
     while spectres whirl
          senselessly 
On oceans' savage sway
     blankets drenched
          delusion
Humane hands, soft
     spoken words
          strengthen
Fickle health, a seesaw
     feeds erratic mind
          with despair

Merciful Are the Blossom

Conflagration
And seesaw whims
Those who can find
Hymns upon the mind
Them are saints
Them are of heart
Finishing, only at start.

Plentiful
Are the handsome.
And merciful
Are the blossom.
A bird sings upon my sill,
For it is the blossom
That sits upon them still.
The courage of man
It takes to begin,
For it is their conflagration
That can lead to sin.
