Sir Prize

A widow would frequently cry
And then snuggle up to a guy
She'd lick her lip
Undo his zip
And shriek, "Not another small fry!"

Onlookers stamp and shriek for blood
Wanting gruesome
Hoping for death
Gladiators face off
Not wanting to disappoint thrill seekers

Oaks

Overhearing her shriek
At the trees, he 
Keeps gardening, whispering
Soothing sounds to the soil

A pail and shovel
Bright red
A castle to build
A moat to fill

Seagulls shriek
Crabs scurry
As tidal creep
Threatens the kingdom

Now if you’ll excuse me I think I’ll shriek and shout for just awhile!!!

Ned had a very long nose
When he bent over it touched his toes
Ned looked a freak
People would shriek
Pleased they didn't have one of those

the fingerless pianist
forensic lyrics
the shriek of unchained love notes
clanking across endless keys

Disaster fell upon Soup Creek
When everyone heard Jenna shriek,
"Tom's Marmite was taken!
He'll have to eat bacon
Unless we all play Hide 'n Seek!"

The moon's a globule 
Assymetrically-specked
Freckled with moonrocks
Wolves roost and shriek off-tuned hymn-- -
Tufts of fear drip-drop   elsewhere.

At first it was just a murmur
Then suddenly it began to rage and shriek

Drowning out every other sound
Until nothing could be heard

Except the Wind

Flying crazed into the summer night
Diving, crashing — what a sight!
The people, they shriek; 
Cover they seek,
Slapped in the face by one’s flight.

Premium Member into the night

in the darkened woods
caretakers carry lanterns
in search of nightly spirits

in midst of panic
a shriek of fright as one falls
the darkness consumes his soul

Premium Member The Spirits Speak - Triolet

Inside this tomb
the spirits speak.


They hate the gloom
inside this tomb.


They fuss and fume
and shout and shriek.

Inside this tomb
the spirits speak.

Sue wants to find peace at Crimson Creek
Her summer has been stressful and bleak
She saw it in a book
As Friends gathered to look
She soon found it and let out a shriek

Premium Member I keep my demons in unless

I refuse to argue, squabble, shriek or shout
I will not hit, kick, pummel, punch or pout.
I keep my demons in, I never let them out
Unless my annoying cousin Willy is about.

Premium Member Robin Love

He gave a squawk.   She gave a shriek.
He blinked a blink. She winked a wink.
Love in the making on a warm summer’s day.
Flirtation baking as these smitten robins flew away.

Premium Member Cold Turkey

Trumpets blared from orifices hidden
   Awaiting his doom, the prince was bidden
To enter the dark hole of all things unknown
   Suppressing a shriek, he unplugged his phone

Premium Member wind dreams

Naught but a billowed vagabond
A breeze longing to shriek
Soar on an eagle’s up draft
Plunge, predator-like, to earth
Riffle the grasses as I pursue
The limitations of my fate

Premium Member Fearful Lizard

Dinosaur means fearful lizard in Greek
Seeing one today would be quite a freak
T-Rex had banana-like teeth
Seeing one eat would make me shriek
Loudly and proudly, not a mere squeak.

Parkour's Not Her Thing

Before parkour gained such popularity
To jump from house to shed, was fun as could be
I dared not critique
When I heard mom shriek  
When you break your legs, don't come running to me!
