I wanna have my soul's say
But life is full of
Growing to make a hit
Building time set off delay

A leprechaun lost his charm
Which set off a big alarm
So, he tried to fix
His shillelagh stick
And hopes it brings him no harm

There is a notorious flirt
Who fondles beneath a girl's skirt
But some of his "charm"
Set off her alarm
"Digital Intruder Alert!"

Enfolded by your embrace
i am warm
For nothing is brighter then
the flame that is burning
inside me
Set off by your
Intoxicating smile

A young girl with breasts like the mountain
Set off the young lads like a fountain
With so many showers
Pulsating from towers
Her major of choice was accountin'

On my bike, fifteen gears by derailleur
I set off on my trip round Australia
But the weather was hot
Blisters grew on my bot
So the journey became quite a failure

Blog chatter set off
Tanka with kala for us
to think and ink well
the art of Japan's waka
31 syllable to fit in 5 lines
( Note :Kala is the name of the teacher)

A gnat did fly up my nose,
on purpose, I must suppose.
He set off a pet peeve,
as his wings made me sneeze,
I did pee into my clothes.

The little bear
Who didn’t care
Grabbed a large crab
That grabbed him back
With a fierce attack
The little bear
Who didn’t care
Cries out loud
For his mom
That set off an alarm

In a most stunning reversal of form
The ‘grammar police’ took over a dorm
Kicked out all the radicals
Screamed, ‘You’re non-grammatical’

A human fart can be as loud as a trombone
Let one go at a school concert, sounded like a baritone
People were embarrassed
Not me, it was one of my rarest
It set off alarms, twas the biggest fart ever known

My screams are void
Interrupted by blurred groans
Drums beating,
Echoing in the dead of night,
Unavoidable
Silent wars has begun
Quarrels set off,
Throwing away love
Who wins? Who has gone missing?
No one knows in silent wars

she set
a fire
and i
set off
the
alarm
to warn
myself
that she
is true
in fact
too good
to be
true
so
having
to cover
my ears
to keep
out
the sound
of the bells
the bells
for they
because
of me

The smell of a fresh cut lawn
Winters over been waiting so long
Chlorine water in a swiming pool
Eating ice-cream tell I get full
Sun tan lotion on a sunny day
Set off an amazing display
Fireworks like gun powder
colors get brighter sounds get louder

Her name is Jessica Amanda Salmonson, just discovered this silly
Whatta kook, much kookier than this kooky dude, a real kooky filly
If she'll have me as a co-kook
She and I might set off a nuke
Will the Soup ever be the same, kinda doubt it, a real dilly

Deafening the score for spring break,
set off by the harp’s gentle voice.
That pas de deux of give and take,
a fever pitch played with such poise.
There are so many twisted toys
that masquerade as gentlemen.
Soft banter that clamors a choice:
do you want cheap or a bargain?

Should I open wide my arms
And let you in
Or wrap them tight about my charms
Should I open wide my arms
Will these emotions set off alarms
Is there something here we could begin
Should I open wide my arms
And let you in

Flow of the lustrous milky rays
Aglow as the coat of white glaze
Birds misled and set off their trills
Herds ready to go to foothills
Confused owls go in awful mood
Amused jars wish to forage food
Dark cloud blanket enfolds the moon
Stark and sudden change soothes most soon

Like a sappy fruit
in vice of time,
a slobber root -
a top cut by a knife.
Thick drops in a pot
down slowly trickle,
hold firmly a cup,
set off a ripple.
Must hoe one's row,
time, here, I see,
for muck and your
fruits marc will be.

Stubborn refusal by Rosa Parks
to up from her bus seat set off sparks...
that ignited flames of Civil Rights movement.
'Twas a legendary, watershed moment!

With children in tow
on winter’s heels set off to
follow fine artists
Lovingly lost in copper,
canvas, bright color
framboise, tanager, yarrow
Picasso, Beckmann, Klimt
Woman with a Hat, Nighthawks
haunting, surreal …
Writing, painting, tones
sculpting, gazing, trudging on
weary, fulfilled, homeward bound …

The alarms set off
ringing louder and louder
until smoke fills the room
no longer able to breathe
i set myself in the corner
flames rise above me
of both orange and yellow
screaming for help, sobbing
and gasping for crisp clean air
i run right through the clouds,
burst out the door
to find it was all just a dream

i am a burden on myself
I need to set off to be light
Or leave myself on a shore
The light falls upon me
Too rusty and dusty
To clean things up
On me I need to focus upon
The burden I carry
Me, myself and I
I need to slow down
Or drag myself out
Time is there
But too immature
I need to shed me
To find a cure .

Across the sky at end of day
I watched as birds set off home
to roost. Straight home with no doubt
Direct through pink flush sky but look
One bird at the back desperate
Flapping double time to keep up
With the confident the strong the bold.
Oh dear bird with broken wing
You are the bravest of the lot.
