Premium Member Once In a Great While

once 
in a great while
snow falls
straight down -- 
no icy slants
no whirling dance --
past Autumn's
bewildered
leaves

Indian Summer

Summer’s gone…
The earth has shifted.
The sun slants
Anew each day.

The chill in the air
In the cool, cool, dawn,
Brings a change
Most welcome, some say.

Done

Summer sun slants
acute
long shadows cast
distorts
     reality
and when 
it’s all done,

there’s
no place 
    else to go
but
up on the roof
to dance
    in the
August snow

Premium Member Please Care

Please care.
Love's slants and spins have me dizzy.
Thy laughter's the star I navigate to
Thy voice a song I listen for
Thy touch I long for

Please care.
I make heated love's impious oaths.
Thy sigh is my pleasure as well
Thy smile is worth gold
Thy look my is my sun


Premium Member Persephonie Thoughts

persephone thoughts

snow slants 
across my window
blowing north into south 
except for the rebel 
who swirls occasionally 
down from the chimney

enough of cold and gray

I think of 
the golden beetles 
clustered 
on my moon flower leaves
they shine like nuggets 
in a pirate's chest

Premium Member Ominous Cloud

Mist Slides forth From the peak of curving heights slants fade in purity, dismal, and droop You're now at the same level as the trees. the haze sneaks forth. the footbridge looming cloud

Betsy Was a Good Old Sport

Styled like a T Bird.
She really purred in third.
By listening to the engine
you did shift.
Ahe was sleek and styling
if you get my drift.
Her body golden cream,
the roof black.
It's the one with the roof
that slants slightly back.
Pop shifting soon became
my speciality.
I just loved my 
1964 Super Sport Chevy.

Premium Member Bronx Cheers

      Bronx cheers, muffled in December
        ‘The Boys of Summer’ have vanished
            gone the way of the playground
            ghosts of warmer climes 

      Slants of ice fill the empty stands
         Cheers – or boos – reserved 
             for vagabonds
             for drifting wads of paper

Spring

Spring has sprung
And we are won!

No cold or frostbite, 
But dew holds tight. 

Circulating air, 
Breeze fare. 

Blossoming plants
All bright slants. 

Growth exists, 
Beauty consists. 

Blizzards gone,
Winter’s long!

Open necks, 
Hit the decks! 

Perspective, 
Elective. 

Dialect loved, 
Speciation beloved.

Premium Member Roses Gone Missing

   suddenly bare branches
     sway and shiver
   shiver and sway, outstretched
     in vain 
       to December's flares 

   stunted grass shoots 
     deign not wave
   to howling winds
     their lawns daily prowl  

   icy slants of rain
      piercing bare heads
   autumn’s roses gone missing
      color them dead

Bridges

its just a metaphor you see
a bridge slants ahead 
you can never really 
the bottom until uve hit the top

but when you start 
a journey that is uncertain
could be long
could be short

if you trust in your instinct 
and trust in the bridge
no matter how long it takes
you will reach the destination

trust me...i love you mom

Commonsensical Nonsense

Evanescent parlays of paradoxical exposure expecting perceivable combustion, hindsight still plays unavoidable heady games aftermath perception lives up to mean arithmetic
Specificity of angular slants contrasting circles' spatial commitment to conformity's configurations - - square pegs will never fit societal a$$holes

Premium Member Collaboration

collaboration

work with sun, moon 
earth, the good long days
peel, pull  seeds
hum quietly
a nameless melody
drawn through half forgotten
memories 
as is this recipe.

cinnamon red, sharp
nutmeg brown, sultry
sugar white 
as snows to come
eggs golden globes
milk splashing 
creamy sounds.
day light slants 
across the table
it warms my hands 
as they shape dough
for pumpkin pie.

What Ive Learned

theres no such thing as second chance, i know i sing, but can not dance, i feel im stuck, and in a trance, i feel exposed, but wearing pants. i was born here, but live in france, this is my life, my special stance, take up the cans, and give up cants, i must be with, my people, ants. i cant boogie, but yes i prance, i dont have sword, but do have lance, respect critters, respect the plants, my life is down, with many slants.

Premium Member The Aching Rain

The aching rain beats down on me
   I shield myself as best can be
Its piercing slants like stinging bees
   The cold damp wind goes right through me

My teeth do chatter up and down
   My body's shaking all around
No warmth retained, I'm 'bout to freeze
   Right through me howls the cold wet breeze

I spot whitecaps way out at sea
   The aching rain beats down on me
I shield myself as best can be
   Then shiver in the chill damp breeze

Premium Member Grey Days

Somber light slants through the window.
The sun lazes behind blankets of clouds.
Grey skies are all I see.
A tranquil yet almost uneasy atmosphere
rests over everyone.
No one dares to shrug it off.

Today is a day for soft musing and true thoughts, 
it's sobering and uplifting at the same time.
There will be no more doubts by the end of this day.
A chilly wind breezes over cool skin as
colors are dimmed and speeds are slowed.
Nothing resists the sleepy pull of these grey days.
