Hot tears break and burn
thoughts of bitter things
Solitude smothers
empty broken vows
Is it love that I have known
Lonesome nightingales sing
This merciless heat
smothers the earth
with air-less wings
It creeps in by degrees
stifling life's breeze
gives Nature short shrift
until it lifts
Life is like a flower
If you care too little
it withers
If you tend to much to it
it smothers it
But with the right mixture
it blooms ever so beautifully
Form:
Stifling heat
broods on the land,
smothers any impulse
to stir.
Sluggish afternoon hours
drip,
stick
to the skin,
steeping us
in lethargy.

Winter chill in the air today
Smothers like a great weight on your chest
Russell Sivey
Entrant into Brian Strand's "SUCCINCT a single TWO line verse/any theme" contest!
thick blanket of fog
smothers visibility --
cars pile up
"When I'm with him,
his love engulfs all of the anger and depression inside of me
and smothers it out like a flame,
but when he's gone,
it adds fuel to the fire,
and it burns again."
-Laura Bussey
Fragments of copper scatter;
smothers an Opal kiss
the surface only matters;
ardour does not exist,
and deserts of weary Chicory
sway with limestone tips,
swelling like the cactus
blistering our lips.
Listening to the loud wild commotion
mom runs on to
the front porch
shock to
see.
Her
Johnny
back from the
service; stretches
her arms and smothers him in her bosom.

example
Whirlpools of loneliness
were pulling me down,
you were my lifeboat.
With all my effort
I forced myself
to push toward you.
Your kisses, your smiles,
your touch saved me
from my lonely life.
Shirley Smothers
She is altruistic
Always taking care of others
Brightening everyone's day
Nothing but love that she smothers
She shines like a beacon
Always willing to go the extra mile
Very conscientious at what she does
And possesses a heartwarming smile
Political correctness…
the new dirty word
Meaning perverted,
excuses now heard
It masks and it covers,
what it most tries to hide
As it preys and then smothers
—with the vilest of lies
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
Papa bee’s snores were getting the best of mama bee
If he did not stop all of that loud buzzing he would wake baby!
She put the covers over his nose and his mouth.
What if he smothers? An internal voice asked.
The snoring would stop, she replied.
Do not turn your eyes
and pretend I am not here.
Do not stare at
me in disgust.
Laziness is not the
reason I am here.
Some of you are
but an illness, an
injury, a job lost
to be in my shoes.
I am not a threat
to you.
Shirley Smothers
Tears, they flow as giddy gushing streams,
and meddle with our facile sense of joy,
seamlessly they interface cod emotions,
whirlpool laughter smothers trite elation,
smirking bogus rivulet, weeping willow branch,
to that toxic ocean known as hollow mirth
Your flamboyant of a heart is of glass shards and ice
That stings like frostbite and slices like a vice
To your prey, everything seems like a perfect price
A beautiful contagion that swathes but smothers
Expels lucidness or causes demise amongst others
Iron spine in shadowed quiet,
Waiting for the warmth to stay.
Resting in the frosty moonlight,
Watching snowbanks drift away.
Holds the ghosts of parted lovers,
Tracing lines on weathered wood.
Endless winter never smothers,
Where the tranquil wood has stood.
A CLOSE SHAVE
Shel married a wife with armloads of fur.
He was very unkind, he did beat her.
Smothers - never quits.
Makes her shave her pits.
Smirking, she sharpens her blade on the cur.

Jan’s Limerick contest - back by popular demand
Crack of a whip and snap of a twig
Chop of a tree, performs a fire-jig
Lit up by fury of the heavens up high
Fire pours down, smothers the woods' cry
Clap like thunder and crash like light
Horses whinny, run away in fright
Humans want more but have yet to give
The earth below them, care not if it lives.
Frigid but calm front
hides in northern winds,
vast sky of my bedroom dims,
stream in winter
iced over, mother’s embrace
letting go at bedtime,
still rainfall,
sky’s dark pillows,
eyelids become anchors; smothers,
the cold front
blanketing dampened lids,
peacefully cover the coming storm.

Forgiveness heals perceived insults
Yet but a half measure
When we embrace, our heart exults
Then remains no fissure
Love throbs, our heart smothers
All souls are our brothers
Know, there are no ‘others’
Soft touch appeals
Forgiveness heals

Quietus
gray sky swallows
a surly surface
gritty sky smothers
a solitary sleepwalker

I am the Bagel...you are the whole of my life
I am the pickle... you are the sweet to my sour
I am the butter... you spread happiness all over me
I am the cheese... your softness smothers me
I am the meat ... you are tender
I am the sandwich... you are the wrapper
that keeps me warm, covers me, keeps me safe.
She is an ocean away
In body and soul
As I grasp to touch, her mind to sway
Her voice beckons, like an angel above
Come to me love, if you dare
So I walk along this windy road
I shiver, for the autumn tiss cold
The coldness smothers my very desires
If only her lips, could be planted a kiss
Illusions could be a heavenly bliss
Done well,
another’s
terse form to dwell
on druthers.
Oh so short and sweet,
(too long just smothers)
concise, complete,
it casts the briefest spell.
