Butter steams sizzles and pools
Hot potato cools

The city sizzles 
Five die of heat stroke, the tree
Bursting in red joy

.                    our lab is snoring
               
                     in front of the fire

                     a wet log sizzles...

Hear coffee perking
Bacon sizzles on the grill
See neighbor’s cooking

First sip of coffee
Hot enough to burn your tongue
Drink from the saucer...

a cicada sizzles in the Summer sun
as the day begins another begun

some day this will all be done
when Fall falls into Autumn...

Cattle backs to home
Birds chirping for evening nest
Your hassle sizzles
Sun isn’t duty-free being
Moon shows beauty unity

HOT HAIKUS

so hot!
a satanic breeze rustling
shadows sweat    drip

so hot!
sidewalk sizzles
cracked egg fried mid-air

so hot!
birds won’t sing
earthworms gloat...

No city moves as fast as New York
With eclectic promises and dynamite ideals
The ones who survive it were full-ready for a challenge
not a place for the faint-hearted...

A cat and a dog, marinated delight,
In a frying pan, they engaged in a fight,
Their sizzles did soar,
Mom kicked the pan, what a roar!
Dinner was ruined that unfortunate night!...

equinox sizzles

casting feverish moods red

mixing potion and cloud smoke

for bonfire delight,

shadows waxing Celine trance…

moon ‘s full alchemy

Idea sparks
Sizzles
Peters out and dies.
Makes an elongated screaming sound
As it falls from heaven 
Crashes into the sea
The splash wakes me.
What was that? I ask my muse.
The only answer I receive is the cheep of a bird outside....

Quatrain #813:
CURL


Craft thus prompt feel as thoughts move writes,
Urge rhymes that thrill the surge of cites;
Reach sizzles will as joy now curls,
Love lines reveal such mystic bites.

My love shines infinite and bright
as we bask in the candlelight.
A flame of passion does ignite;
our souls entwining feels so right.
Candle sizzles in the night
as we encompass our delight.

smooth jazz just sizzles
totally loving hot sax tones
that dance on the streets


soul saxophone spirit
gold and shining with such pride
musician of mine


notes fly to the moon
escape this earth in vermillion
rainbow gratitunes

Dawn and Twilight Glory

Dawn’s
Neon
Orange flames,
Hot pink sizzles,
Pierce scarlet hued skies
Earth reflects morning fire.

Twilight horizon burns
Smolders in burnished
Amber embers
Flashing stars
Thunder
Moon

Sizzling Summer

summer sun sizzles
sans sunshade shelter
sunburn scalds
she sprints scorched sand to shore
swizzles in soothing sea

This siren sizzles from southern skies to sashay

sultry as summer’s sapphire sun, a  red of shade...

Her flamed skirt  spinning along , scenting  the  shoreline

As   September drips spritely of lovers' spiced spell!

Chill in the morning      
As the sun glimmer softly
After a mountain

Cool breeze whispers hushed
Aroma sizzles from cup
Of roasted fine beans

Dew trickles from top
Dousing planks spewing earth scent
Thumping, thumping feet

Birds seamed melody
Waking colors of nature
Thought, silence whispered...

Rhyme - Halloween Horror

Her hair sizzles — stands on ends like the bristles of a broom.
The witch deserved it after her cheeky tricks and treats — a tart!
With flaming eyes of a jack-o’-lantern who’s been burned — the groom.

A small wave beach,
Tiny shells of ages past,
Washing time again
To dry next day.

Fairy fires glow
In concrete rings,
A driftwood sizzles
As it sends smoke out.

An ants cliff rises
Above clam mounds
That bubble under water
As the lapping grows more frequent.
Then still rippling notes
Orchestrate the winds....

THOSE   WERE   THE    DAYS



In days Paleolithic
The news was often horrific
People eaten by monsters terrific
Or trampled in mammoth jams of traffic


Newspapers were chiseled  in stone
Picture it: hot news petrified even when it sizzles
Editors called in news headlines by bone
Saying,  “ Hold it. .  .stop the chisels!! “...
