His fingers kept snapping off
into a pot I put between his knees.
I boiled them in snow and lived.

Girl who's striving

Constantly holding
her head in shame
Snapping her

lit just enough

Aurora Borealis

Greens attached to clouds swirling
Cameras snapping with eyes gazing
Awe running though the mind intriguing
Capturing a moment in time never returning

You wrapped poetry  'round me
crackling with electricity
in the pop snapping rarified air
we share
  Hard to breathe up there.....
let's do it again!

Teeth gnashing
Pencil snapping
Clock ticking
No clicking
Words failing 
Mind flailing
Forehead sweating 
Frowning, fretting
Blank page,
Blocking rage!

Chase

quicksilver
he chases the  squirrel
into the icy field
snapping
branches trap him
until they break
keen
eyes on the chase
skimming over snowbanks
he wins

I Don'T Bleed.

i’m falling
apart
i’m lost
pieces snapping off
and floating away
through non-existance
leaving me a crumpled mass
of salty tears
and wounds
that don’t bleed.

Seeing Double

The other night at the county fair
I got drunk and tried wrestling a bear,
he twisted me in a knot
I heard loud snapping a lot...
now my glasses are used as footwear!

Pug-nosed pugnacious Polly loved to fight
She started brawls every Saturday night
Snapping, snarling, punching, sneak pinching too
I don’t want to go to bars with her. Do you?

Premium Member Whitewater

We shelter secrets, holding them close 
and encrypted. Hidden truths,
like submerged rocks that create 
snapping undercurrents and choppy, 
white-capped rapids for navigating affinities.

Premium Member Hanging Wash

Wind
sends out
a clever 
breeze, who finds us
at our schoolwork, near Mother's hanging wash

Snapping back the corners of clean white sheets,
it tumbles off
to tell her
what we
know

Life lived

Lower Village 
Old Mill road
Drive by salvation
Nailed to a telephone pole 
"Fearful? Truth--will set you free"
Family farm; 1914
Bright clothes
Like prayer flags
Snapping on the wind
