its eyes glint sharper than steel---
swift as lightning bolt

Grim Reaper strolls in
Stands looking down at her face
She opens an eye
Then sits up in bed, scowling
Grim Reaper slinks off next door

First he slinks off the field with a miss,
so forlorn, then the chance to do this.
Will we boo him to shame?
Will we drink to his name?
The ball is down. The kick is up! The kick is...

Limerick
The dog slinks past me
a plea in its eye
bowed head upraised
barely
Turning toward me
piteously --
Snap!
its collar is yanked back
by its imperious master
Plea denied

Along with
Rosy afterglow, plump, pads along with the mindscapes.
Murky metaphor, skinny, along with the maker escapes.
Thin petals,sheded, along with the wind swirl and churn.
Thick ink, spilt, slinks and slides along with the concern.

July Fog
Fog
Slinks in,
Cloaks dawn’s smile
In July gloom
With platinum gauze ~
A foggy summer breath
Glistens on rows of sweet corn,
Kisses the vegetable garden,
As crickets chirp and bumblebees hum
In misty tunes of foghorn rhapsodies.

It doesn't like to be given a name
or a shape to fit within its walls.
It prefers to hide beneath the camouflage
of noise and sits unmoved by pity,
stands to lift a downward pointing thumb
then slinks back into the anonymity of itself
leaving the dead to dissolve into their own.

~Sun Dancing~
Bright yellow sparks glisten around the landscape
Sheer environment expose
Warmth slinks down every step
So-- Invigorating
Spur-like rays muster in long light
The wolves wait to howl
Soon--Bunch of flowers
Huddle in with sunlit love
Luminous rave

the silence shatters
in the back alleys of your mind,
a cat springs from a fire escape.
hitting the ground, she stumbles
near imperceptible,
revealing the last vestiges of kittenhood.
recovering herself,
she slinks unnoticed through a doorway
shimmering, it disappears behind her;
the last way out.

I do not know?
Monday, damp and gray, through alley slinks
disturbs the peace with cursed work-week
Her chill invades my pillows and sheets
noxious fumes from asphalt streets
I wrap myself in blankets tight
clinging to what's left of night
Against my relentless, ringing foe
~ at alarm clock's crow, to work I go

No beliefs except the unworthy,
A thuggish frame without a mind
Growing reeds with his father's seeds,
No thoughts except the unkind.
Idle Prince on wicker Olympus,
Stroll down and inherit your Earth.
The risen dead may come and see
The King of human stock,
While he slinks stinging,
To another room,
A Cinna.

Epitaph
He brings seashells to the seashore.
She sells shells and a whole lot more.
He surfs on highs of the sky in pictures of memories of times that are past.
She slinks by him over hill and dale and lays her days in fields of grass.
He thinks he'll never be worthy of her time and energy.
She sees him and purely wants them to simply be.

A cold night on a dim lit back street
slinks a demon you don't want to meet
He is looking for a specific kill
for someone that forgot to pay their bill
His boss does not give mercy to any
even if one is only short a penny
So remember not to ever get a loan from the devil
because he does not take kind to those who do not settle

She smells like nothing
To the whole world
Tattered dress ripped leggings
Pigtails on the sad girl
No one sees her face
She slinks around
All hopes and dreams
Shattered no fortunes found
Onlookers judge her dirty clothes
Unrecognizable the sweet
Child of nobody and no one
Raised in the street
She smells like nothing
To the whole world

There's this feral cat
who knows just where it's at
when he wanders off for late-night prowlin'.
Sixth Street and Fisher Trail
no better place for tail
he slinks up licked clean and growlin'.
The young fluffy things call him “my little pita”
but his wife knows he's nothin' but a has-been ol' cheetah
and she gets the last laugh. He thinks she's out bowlin'!

octobre slinks forth
relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
salacious summer
enflamed leaves embracing
dalliance with wilder winds ~
erotic fall tryst
hoary trees exposed
brazenly displayed bosom ~
scandalous winter
new bulbs gamboling
commoved carefree canoodling ~
warm sassy spring

A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits of the goddess She comprises.
During Her reign over the darkening night
Her regal demeanor dispels the day's light.

In the chilly hours of the graying gloaming,
silent shivers rise from the estuary.
Just before the waves churn in frothy foaming,
Goddess Moon approaches Her adversary.
Sun slinks away at Her approaching homing,
slowly shedding His cloak as Luminary.
She reigns all through the darkened and leaden night
until stubborn Sun returns, anew and bright.

Demon of The Shadows
In darkness looms a shadowy figure,
A demon theif of joy and delight,
It slinks behind our backs and whispers sinister word,
Bidding us to see through its eyeholes instead.
As we stumble through life's labyrinth,
Chasing after dreams that seem too far,
This creatures creeps, growing bolder, darker,
Until our would becomes an endless night.

He Slinks Over The Links
He raced to the first golf hole, par he winks
Three wild shots later a turkey gobbles
Cuss words escape his lips, as his drives stink
Another dying duck's hit, as his legs wobble
Ploop, another drink of the pond, how awful
connie pachecho

Quintain (English)
A rooster struts, an eagle soars,
A caterpillar inches;
A dolphin leaps, a panther slinks,
A crab, if bothered, pinches.
A farmer reaps, a tailor sews,
A chef sautés and seasons;
A dentist drills, an artist paints,
All with their private reasons.
My husband vacuums and he cooks
To keep his psyche going,
While I write rhymes so I’ll recall
Which way the wind was blowing.

He haunts the back streets
hugging the sides of buildings
Unseen, unfelt, unloved
a statistic in a dusty cabinet file
Raising up on sole-less shoes
He sneaks a view from the alley
ice on every windowpane
conversations mixing with steam
He slinks to the edge of town
to the bridge o'er the rushing river
Would God care if he took his life ~
his lips involuntarily quivered

In my sky
stale sun slinks slow,
blazing
still life’s stalled time,
slinging like dark cloud,
casts pensive
shadow
on dim day,
destined
to find soon
the night fall
through the twilight shroud.
With hope to see stars shine
I
wait at edge of dusk.
