What works do shaken bones cast?
You smile with eyes downcast;
Does magic move fast or slow?
It tends to dance in free throw.

Earthquake

the earth splits apart
buildings topple, people run
shaken and injured
searching for family, friends -
hoping, hoping, all are well
Form: Tanka

Overflow

yearly grain storage
too tiresome modulation 
over spilling crib

 
shaken a little heaped flat
housewife's face overflow smile

shaken not stirred
causal whirlwind effect
mini storm contained
snow flurries mesmerize
a microcosm spinning

Premium Member What About Me

My inverted shadow
skulks along 
cannot be shaken
i feel him more than I see him
always there
telling me what he needs
what about me?

Derivation

The sun,
The Exodus:
And I awaken
Trust us, Lord
Eyes are shaken – 

Measure of tongue,
Abide thy son:
Trodden with,
Forever young.

lightning bugs in jar
delightful…shaken up, down
it’s another night
of memories— albums loose
family picnics; stains;  death

Premium Member Earthquake Temper Tantrum

Splitting soil and rock; quaking, 
shaking dance of death.
Land and sea alike,
Well shaken; no stirring here; 
an earthquake, temper tantrum.
Form: Tanka

Feelings

Feelings…
like wisps of cobwebs clinging,
cannot be shaken away.

They lie there,
unwelcome and unbidden,
Like unwanted guests come to stay.

Fuchsia Blooms Suckle

fuchsia blooms suckle 
scenic whiffs on sultry wind 
in cloud-filled dreams still
shaken with a poignant sting
trapped in seaside's rustic pine

Hive of Honey

Shaken sudden the hive

Queen bee awaken

Bees to fly back

Sensing the threat

It’s true-

Bees to serve honey

But venom at last for survival!

Premium Member Shocked

in awe
shaken
in total disbelief
i’m left
questioning myself
can i ever know
what’s inside
a person’s 
head or heart

Premium Member Happy Duckling

There once was a duckling so cute
Who slid down a long water shute
His mother was shaken by the risk he had taken
But the duck thought the ride was a hoot

Premium Member Brainstorming

A mind reset to zero
Shaken then released like a couple dice
Unbridled muse in wreckless abandon.
See what comes of it.

Premium Member A Knock on the Door

    Shaken to the core
      by a knock on the door

    My mood’s not conducive
      to visitors intrusive
      
    Though what else am I here for

My Favorite Spy

My own favorite spy, James Bond 007,
He loves stirred Martini, but not shaken.
He is very lovable and blue-eyed blond,
That’s why sexy spies gave up their gun.

Burnt

breast suckled not barren deserted
breath not shared lungs bloated
beasts severed a lot skin pierced
bread not served shaken bruised
burnt hunger of love cried

The Drunk Man

Like a helpless child he was taken
Could not be roused even after being shaken
Like one recently deceased
Even when gently carried
Like the dead away he was taken
Form: Limerick

Personality Claws

You talk with condensing tones
Crushing down on shaken bones.
You whisper secrets in my ears
That you say I had no right to hear
Your claws dig deeper year by year.

Premium Member Winter Fog

.
Damp cold fog rolls through the opening in hedge

Premium Member Punch Drunk

Smashed
            And on the rocks
         Shaken and stirred


                To a paranoid
                   Amygdaloid 
            Control deferred

Christmas Ice

Winter skaters on Christmas' ice
 steps slippery glossed in-flight, nice
 slide and glide from ice to snow
 shiver, shaken, frozen toes
fell on hidden nests of field mice.

Premium Member Siren Song

the bubble 
             burst
indolesence
         resumes
deflated
shaken
sombre
         inside,
phobias form;
pity,pity
performs
her
     siren
             song...
