like rambunctious preschoolers
at morning recess
eager to entertain you

Though time, like us, is separated
Into many hours and minutes,
Even our arms, like clock hands,
Will someday meet again.

A woman twirling 
Like a dervish
Hula hoops rotating 
Around her chest and waist

Judging a person without even knowing his true name is like judging a book without even knowing its title.

Once the words "I Do" was declared
And his diamond cuff was secured
On her left third finger with care

Sunlight is the way Sun smiles 
All day times till falling of the dusk 
Working hard to make more smiles 
Until falling of the dawn

The Something In the Air

miasmic,


alighting the foul bourgeois powers that be


bounce like carrion crows


on the prone corpse 


of the bled world.

Premium Member She Is Like

She is like the wind. She is like the rain. She is like the process, that begins over again and ends in vain.

Tangerine


                     A yellowish orange color
                             It's like gold
                     That sparkles in the rain.

  One at a time
  He climbs the steps
    breath uneven, labored
   
  Though crossing crowded streets
    he's agile as a jaybird

the ballroom dancers
                     pirouette like tornado
                        divinely waltzing

A relic or the missing link?
You're like “Plato” they say—Do they think
I'm that colossal 
Or a sentient fossil—
A “Play Dough” primordial stink?

Pretty

her smile could melt
    ice cream on top of
mt. Everest.
she didn't think she 
    was that cute.
but her name must've
    been Just Pretty...

Simile

Simile
my love is like
old men strumming
fingers on table
to ancient tunes
at VFW Friday nights;
between tales of old wars
in forgotten places.

To believe it or not,
In my lifetime
Marches on
Or off with your head,
To toe nail,
The coffin close,
The open door,
Way to,
Believe it or not…

Premium Member See its Tail Wag

  Even after a day of fun
    Sunday night can be a drag

  I’d like to see its tail wag

   all bubbly, perky, eager
   like a woodland beaver

Getting to say it 
In this real life
Even if we said it

To each other
Without saying it
 To each other

While saying it
To each other.

  a propellor spinning on ice
  Time ramps up slowly

     circles at a dizzying pace
     unfurls once more 

         ~ ends on a note of grace
