Short Slink Poems

I come here to sit and think,
I usually don't mind the stink,
But when it gets bad,
I am really glad,
That quick out of here I can slink....

Just the flu he said with a wink
His blind date’s thoughts began to sink
Corona V she thought
So doing what she ought
Out of the restaurant she did slink...

Biden-lovers wish Trump would slink away
But his agenda's not finished, so he will stay

   in the limelight, whether they like it or not
   cheered on by his supporters, a hearty lot...

12,000 years since their introduction
Egyptians were first to start the pet cat custom
No one owns a cat
A CAT owns a cat
90 million slink around town filling their gut...

Proposal At Your Disposal

When we are planning a proposal;
Definitely should be at your disposal;
About to think;
Not off slink;
If local about it you must become vocal.

the cats rise, arch, eat, lick,
then slink off seeking sun-
toiling is not in their ken. 
                
                    ~@~

the dog also rises; stretches;
scampers comically to your side
and farts...first smile of the day!...

Darkness
Death...permeates
Evil lurks...underneath
Just below the surface...and waits
Ready to strike and inflict...suffering
Then slink back into the...shadows
There lurking...evermore
The only...clue
Darkness

Listen to poem:

with scamper and scurry, slither and slink,
with rustle and rattle, crackle and snap
the shy, bashful, humiliated and humble
sneak away scared, to hole-up and hide-a-way
covering up their foibles and fears, 
which they know all too well....

I AM BEYOND ME
BLIND AND COWERING
GASPING FOR AIR
EYES FOGGY
MY THROAT 
FULL OF GLASS
I REACH OUT
FOR YOU
SHINY AND SHARP
ERASE ME
I SLINK AWAY 
INTO THE NIGHT
THE BLEAK DARK 
CALLS OUT TO ME
PULSATING WAVES
ENGULF ME
FLOOD MY BODY
WITH THE SHAME....

Severed starlight, brief lanterns

Truncate tingles, sugar burns

pen puzzling in oily ink

Dark dots on papyrus slink

Metre measure on tongue tip

Riddling rhymes gaining their grip

Cursive verses in past tense

---
Trying a new form tonight. Hope you enjoy...

“I couldn’t care less” is easy to say
When brushing off a critical slur
Or covering up something unkind
Said to excuse a thoughtless deed
If sincere regret is what’s in mind
Perhaps you should say, “Grrrrrrrr,
I could care less,” and slink away!

 ~     heaven's joyous weep,



                          seeds your mighty slink, seaward ...



                through jade labyrinths.     ~

narcissists with huge egos slither and slink ~ hmmm, what would Rumi think

a sly smile on their lips, thinking it's a disguise ~ not from many eyes

having an overly aggressive attitude ~ it's just plain a-rse rude

they are like lemons with sour zest ~ for goodness sake, please give it a rest

Just buy one more I think.
Waking up on the brink.
I cannot sleep a wink.
I feel like a twink.

Just one more in hot pink.
I run to get a drink.
It is the missing link.
Order is on the brink.

Cold water from the sink.
A blanket made of mink
A fake fur made with slink.
Just buy one more I think....

Slit slice open
cut carve enter
rip rape start
pull power enter
unfold unveil reveal
secrete spilled shaken 
explode embroider envelope
grope grip fondle
pull pry panic
stab stun bomb
decapitate dunk drown
shove sharp fall
skin slink spray
steam stream stumble
jeopardize jump jilt
cream crumple capture...

Serpent woman seduced as she slithered
Sultry and sexy, she sashayed as a slink
We mortals stood back, admiring her prowess
Terrified she might show us her forked tongue

She laughed as I thought this,
Blood stopped in the middle of my veins.
I was terrified, that she had read my mind.
She put her tongue out and waved it at me....

My co-workers in the hallway are laughing
I rush out to listen; but I must have missed the punchline
They are trying hard to like each other, I can see that.
Motormouth is talking, so I slink back into my room.
Glad she doesn’t include me; for she never listens to anyone
I think this is the most unflattering trait a person can have....

Raccoon’s house was dull, everyone made fun.
He thought to paint it yellow like the sun.
No one liked it, okay, maybe one.
So he changed it up, to please that one.

Now the house was painted pink.
He got teased by a jealous slink.
Along came a rabbit who tormented him to the brink.
Pleasing every one is not as easy as you dare to think....

A blue whale’s tongue
How large can it be?
As supersized as a redwood tree.
No, not that big, the expert said.
But if you get smacked by one, you might become dead
As big as a car?
Bigger I think.
It weighs as much as an elephant.
So away I slink, for a blue whale is in sight, heading for me.
I hide in the corals, hoping me she will not see....

With a little wink before you slink away, you melt me

the good times we had

frolicking in the glimmering pure white sand

you were more than just a one night stand

tonight comfort me, warm me, with thoughts of you

and in our morning be that twinkle in my sun drenched eye

Bloodless insects slink down cracks and fissures
   Chastised Earth mumbles her prayer
Aimless buzzards circle, eyeing lifeless shores

Dreaded gases envelop jungles
   Mighty timbers writhe on forest's floor
Weeds grotesque choke once-cities
   Soundless streets of dark glory's gore...

Stagger, Stumble, Wretch and Heave
   The Last Day on this Planet grieves...

Casual frog with a Heidi ho hay
Loving his rest, at the end of the day
Sliding down into a slink because it is May
When we walk by he can barely muster a “hey!”

He is so rested, relaxed, but in no way refined.
Nothing bothers casual frog, he never does mind.
We watch him, admiring type D, which is his kind.
Who has the power to lean back and enjoy the sun shine....

Caught up in this circle sphere of integration; I swoon 
as the feeling of worthlessness overwhelms me. 
Nothing seems to remedy as this depression lulls me 
into its claws of wretchedness.
 Sweet and salty smiles that slink into your mind 
seems to melt the drowning feeling of despondency.  
Still there is the burning bubbling vibes of insanity that circumvents any relief....

Eyes of deep black ebony 
Piercing in their focus fixed stare
They watch with their impassioned intent
To strip my soul bare. 

Hypnotic harbinger of my fate
The silent slink motion hardly seen
Bending forward with nearness goal
Till energy itself is keen.

Abrupt dart of a black forked tongue
The only secret sign of a hidden glee
In relish with synchronised open jaws
I am lost to which will be....
