Defeat

DEFEAT

Out of the waves they come.
Helmeted army of crabs
Trundle over the perfect pools 
Of starfish and periwinkle,
Murking up the sandy bottom
Of their foxholes, 
Armoured claws testing each mollusk for food,
Sidling up to my toes
In marauding hunger.
I retreat  inland,
Allowing them their beachhead.


Premium Member Falling Star

(A Children's Poem)

I see you
          little star
sidling up to the moon
          to steal a kiss
from off his brow.

I see you
          little star
twinkling in the sky
          winking at me
as you pass by.

I see you
          little star
gliding past milky whey
          on your way
down to where we are.

Nano nil glitch, stroke; flow lubed leach.'
Synch rich, stichless seamed.. interlocutional smooth streamed'
Formed by in-flow, tronic sensed
Fluid deep texture, by each slide'
No stroke denied, draw and thrust.'
Inspiration (less dust) sidling idling'
To form in a texture, of influx overflow.'
Slick up my sentances; an arrest-less go.'
A new tapestry, out-grows.)

Watching Fish

WATCHING    FISH

We pause  at the glass and look in
They come sidling down to look  at us
Solemn peaceful beauties
Gliding graceful in their thick liquid world
Big-eyed innocence, bubbles,
Children of the deep
Crowd  down at the end to see us
They wave their fins and hover
Looking  out with rapture of a lover
Staring  unselfconsciously with 
Mouths miming murmered mumbles

Hot Hot Hot

The heat is rising up,  up,  up 
and I feel like a wilting pup 
The breeze seems to be hiding 
and summer is happily sidling
down the lane it's just insane!

I meet the day with trepidation 
every hour of sun is on probation 
can I take it ..thats my one refrain 
I like it but, I wish it would rain  
common rain... this is insane ! 

Wish it would rain, wish it would rain
rain, rain, rain,

Winter John Wayne

John Wayne walked
As Wisconsinites do
Every Winter
When frigid cold tumbles
Humbles
Two-legged gait
On 
All kinds of ice.

So does walk
Timothy Oliphant
Come to think of it.
He walked on sand there,
In Hawai’i,
But not for very long.
Same thing.

It is the kind of sidling
Desert snakes do:
Half tentative
Full-blown cocky; 
But without butts
Or lopsided heads.

I see a deer dancing
On the frozen lake
And say:
“There goeses
The Waynes and the Oliphantes.
