Buried Treasure

It was the young man's pleasure
to dig for buried treasure
with shovel in hand
he suddenly planned
to dynamite, just for good measure

Premium Member Smeared

I came upon a 
blood smeared road
Of flesh and skin 
and crushed bone
I collected the vision 
of what it could be 
Piecing together 
deaths mystery
The town appeared 
shovel in hand
Scraped the remains 
threw down sand 
I said a simple prayer
For the bloodstained smear

Man of a Tiger

The man of a tiger 
he is a fighter
A man of a lion
who saves me from dying
on his heart I knock 
hard like a rock
I want to get through
if its the last thing to do
I will shovel in the snow
you already know
to stand out in the rain
with not much to gain
only to find
that hes not really mine.

Youthless Poet S

Youthless Poet(S)
Lost lonely shadows
Cast and rise
Sunken hungry empty
Lowered eyes
Graying under aging skies.

Lost in translation
Shovel in tow
Just relics and fossils
Still deeper you go.
[                          
                                   .]

Now gazing up 
All you see is a star
And the distance between you
... Is all that you are.

Clearing Ice

Mammoth cold this morning.
There’s been an ice-storm.
Creaking and walking
boots talking
shovel in heavy hand.

Robins pounce on frozen worms.

The wide spade
snatches at the frozen turf,
its red plastic mouth scooping up
small glacial heaps.

Soon I tire, soon I sag,
flinching beneath the wind's frigid lash.

I throw the shovel down,
defeated -

going to toss bird seed,
feed those robins,
maybe save the life
of a few stiff worms,

make hot cocoa.
