a silver fox slinks
its eyes glint sharper than steel---
swift as lightning bolt

My cat slinks inside,
He sits on my foot and purrs,
I am his pet now!

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
Sunrise
Jack Horne
For my friend Janie
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...
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.
slowly sinking
pressure losing patience
lilts to linger longer
'oo' lolls in the mouth
like a boiled lolly
'ze' slinks away, snakily
dark muck, surface glossy,
dares you to enter
gravity blinking a warming
I wait longer than planned
watch control become sticky
I learn to play with it
~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
By; pd
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.
Form:
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.
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'!
she steals stealthily and purposefully into my kitchen
no one hears the teensy tiny tapping of her pretty paws
she slinks into the corners of the room, staring with night eyes
her yellows are getting dark, almost turning as ebony as her fur
she grabs her supper in one enormous daring bounding pounce
there is a quick squeak and then silence; she is a warrior
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.
footprints in the snow
a brave black cat slinks forward ...
bird chase him chirping

Listen to poem:
From crashing waves he emerges with the clarity of a wide landscape
The king of darkness
Parades
In full view
His garish, monochrome ego
Emergent for all to despise
Original poem (extract):
"Into the ripples of the horizon's haze
The queen of the daylight
Slinks
Then is gone
Her wispy train of colour
Vanishing"
[From Poem: Sunset, Sam Scott 14.09.23]
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
