Sliding down the slope,
Looking like a dope,
Slipping through the trees,
Skidding on my knees,
Wish I'd worn my skis.
Rain dripping, dropping down
Water splashing, muddy ground
We're slipping, sloshing round
Rain dripping, dropping down
Watch the edges of my memories
curl slipping out of focus
The abyss slowly erodes
staring at my ethereal hand
it goes
Blade of grass
bent in half
by ball of slipping
sunlight drool
never to
recoil
genuflect immoral
internally immortal
Depth, deep
low
below
Nothing to grasp
slipping
down
low
Not a gleam,
the world is
Dirty and Unclean
Form:
Slipping through the cracks
Seeping into the underground
Slithering through tunnels
Cyclical inconvenience resurfaces
Trump Lump of Lard Horn Haiku
Trump sure is old grump;
Broke ankle slipping on stump,
With lard a big lump.
Jim Horn
The moment after I say, 'I'm happy,' I'm not
~ Thus thickens the plot
Scurrying sandalless soldier's
Soles slowly scarred,
Slipping somewhere,
Scattered stone shards,
Shattering soft skull.
Plunging
slow-breathing fall,
slipping through inner rooms,
unlayering what lies just beneath~
deep truth.
An arctic chill crusts my beard
The wind whistles down my back
Slipping on a patch of ice
I think I just broke my crack
Tick tock tinkle time's
slowly slipping softly
away always acting accurately
sounder sough sounds
each eager executed
hour.
In a quiet moment of solitude
I fear my life may be slipping away
I watch as it ebbs on the wind
Leaving this empty shell behind
Money slipping
Fast as sand
Where did it go?
Do not know!
Spend, spend, spend some more!
And to lend? Below poverty poor!
Form:
Slowly slipping
around my rose bush
plump, red tongues
wet to the ground
remember the taste
of the high, green stem?
Time is slipping through our hands
our futures become pasts
Sometimes I wish I was young again
and life wouldn't go so fast
Despair
lonely empty
slipping sliding sinking
medics doctors friends family
helping healing nurturing
precious new
Hope
Trial by fire
Heart is game, showing us red
Tunnel visioned aim
Slipping bullets, jumping trains
Can't be stopped unless we're dead
Her mind was slipping away,
further and further everyday.
"Who are you?", She would say.
"Don't you know me?, I'm Ray!"
"I know him!"
When we let life take us on this wild ride
we let it slip away
we take things for granted
seen and unseen
and miss out on so much
Picked before you bloomed
your loss brings me to my knees
playbacks run too long
remembrances felt so strong...
slipping now into my dreams
Daylight sparkling
Rushing vehicles
Deadlines looming
Sweating and running.
I love sleep.
Darkly stripping.
Softly slipping.
Deepness, forgetting.
dusk settles lightly,
brushing the paling treetops
with fading color~
and I feel summer slipping
in a way that sighs through me.
unable to grasp
get ahold of things
often slipping thru
falling
a one time chance
quick, catch hold
losing grip
tumbles further
shatters below
Sipping, Not Slipping
Squirrelly little thief,
Thought the Hummingbird feeder
Dear, was clearly his.
