bet all their money on a snog

A maple leaf fell off the flag
When Mounted Police hit a snag
Some maple syrup
Stuck to his stirrup
Voilà Sergeant Preston in drag!...

Drip Drip Drip

water drips slowly
large puddle forms on ground
birds splash playfully

For S.K.A.T.'s picture perfect Haiku contest.
I managed to snag the last spot....

Stirring Ingredients

God saw Flood's "Ingredients" snag
That let the cat out of the bag
The Devil cried, "Weed!"
The Angels agreed,
"Let's change his facemask to a gag!"...

A Certain Lightness Brought To Darkness

Sometimes in the latest night
I tiptoe amongst the stars -
a carpet littered with shimmer;
always careful not to catch
my sole upon - Snag!
a silvered sliver
of moon......

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp
knew how to snag a gun totin' perp,
loved the ladies, but never liquor.
He was a habitual ice cream licker!

On his way to a second term He's like a sad old pachyderm Trump hit a big snag Continues to brag He’s making the G.O.P. squirm.

Women Magazines

'you cant be too rich
and you be too thin'
the glossies spout out
'your efforts will win'

but forgot to tell all
there's only one snag
it's full of cake adverts

Deadly Aim

(Another look at Funnel Spiders)

They spin and spin in dark of night
funnel and tunnel beneath my sight
then slide inside to hide from view;
yet, like a thug with talons, tug	
an innocent bug, snag him snug,
then proceed to chew him through....

Kayaking the Flint

A forest under the surface
Reaches out to snag you as you pass
The shallows scrape and grab and hold
The sun beats down with little respite 
And yet the water is cool
The company is better
And time stands still for a few hours
As a river runs through our day...

Snag

The transformation from lofty pine to charred snag
Was softened somewhat by winter rains
And the feet of a thousand squirrels.
But the blackened outlines still pierced
An uncaring azure sky:
A bleached monument to the storm and lightening
Randomly ascribed to fate....

Claustrophobia

Someone broke my best friend’s heart.
They’d been together throughout the entire lock-down.
And even though it looks like we’re entering a freer time,
he said it felt like she’d become part of the claustrophobia.

Explanations can snag on nerves like fishhooks....

Winter Woes

The winter days drag and drag
the frown on my face increasingly sags
turning me into a haggard old hag
my husband continues to nag and nag
he's tired of living in ratted old rags
time is frozen and forever lags
this season is one big snag after snag

Autumn

leaves flutter like butterflies, 
dawdle graceful path zigzag 
down, down, down beneath trees shade 
long deep sighs. Settle and snag 
among collaborating blades. 
mutinous breeze tendrils rise drag 
and sweep away the dry leaves 
like wings fly and touch the sky.

Monsieur Misery

Pleasure is ephemeral, but at least misery shares some of this same quality.
And as we know, misery loves company.
Don’t we all, misery? Company. We would all love some company.
But that’s the misery of it,
What we love is often out of reach,
Hard to snag,
Pleasurable, and thus
Ephemeral....

Tea time

If you thought it kind, or perhaps naught
I'd write you a fine sonnet.

If it please'd I beg, on bended knee
a spirited song, or dutiful etheree..   
  
Alas a fly in pudding lies, a mote in sorrow'd eye
a snag in all best laid plans.. 
  
Tea time's nigh, so come sit beside    
and hold my hand....

I'M Crying

Love makes me cry
I'm crying
My son makes me cry
I'm crying
God is good and he makes me cry
I'm crying
My dad makes me cry
I'm crying 
snag makes me cry
I'm crying
My mom makes me cry
I'm crying
My man makes me cry when we make love
I'm crying

No Services This Exit Shhhh Contest

Trailers sprout from desert floor    
Tombstones marking the graves of my aspirations.
Tumbleweeds snag remnants of dreams
And blow across macadam prairie.

A highway carries hope far past this place
Of broken dreams and suffocating despair,
But me the mountains trap; they surround me,
And I'll not see home again....

Jag Lady

Lady in drag
Under a flag
Smoking a fag
Wanted to gag

From saddle bag
Pulled out mag
Keys with a wag
Without a snag

Walked with a swag
As if jet lag
She was no hag
No scalawag

Roaring zigzag
Just had to brag
Driving her Jag
Still with its tag

Segue To Smooth

A day that segues into smooth
From bumpy at its start
Is like a prize awarded
For not crumbling apart.

The smiles are that much sweeter;
The vibes all silk and satin.
The energy as upbeat
As the best parts of Manhattan.

Without a little snag or two
To bring about disfavor,
The smoothness wouldn’t be the same
We’d write about or savor....

Tree-Dimentional Mind

Heart's prayer, mind got baptized-
Sunlight beam blinded the eyes--
Wind blows photosynthesis cell-
It bore fruits in my mind--
Anyone could not tell
Ridiculed-snag only has twigs
Never acknowledge Deciduous tree
It'll bloom like evergreen leaves
But they're not a gardener
They abandoned-when it's still December--

April Fools

April is the month for fools,
At least today, the first,
When pranks are played and joking rules 
As logic is reversed.

It’s been around for many years,
Observed both here and there,
With hoaxes ending not in tears
But laughter meant to share.

To get in spirit, pull a gag
To fool your kith or kin.
Shake off those doldrums - time to snag
That silliness within....

Travel With What We Proudly Bag

Travel with what we proudly bag;
Not what down images drag;
In a mirror capture you with some lag:
A dog that wouldn’t its tail wag…

So, suspend you shall buying a lot
For some colorful shirt, very hot!
No more of the fabrics that sag 
Or I shall nastily continue to nag 
About the one I now see – A rag!
Really a traveler’s self – arranged snag 
If not a kidnappers Silencing Gag!...

Oh Fisherman

I am in stupid love,
a fish out of water
caught by a slimy worm.

Hooked by hunger
and evidently truth,
but this bowl is far too real
to swallow.

My freedom was stolen
and he just laughs
as I swim around
in ridiculous circles,
searching for a knob-less door.

My voice gurgles as I ask him,
Oh simple-minded fisherman,
why'd you go and snag me like that
and what did you keep me for?...
