I found a boy on a mountain.
His fingers kept snapping off
into a pot I put between his knees.
I boiled them in snow and lived.
Popping and crackling
Red hot oranges with yellows
Snapping at hot dogs
One falls off of Johnny’s stick
Mama pushes new one on
her snapping jaw leaves
make her a spider killer
carnivorous plant
a fly catcher too
found in south Carolina
the venus fly trap
spring apples falling
snapping turtle crawls up hill
a month worth of meals

Girl with the
porcelain skin
Girl who's striving
to win
Constantly holding
her head in shame
Snapping her
supposedly petite
frame
Dog is after a giant bee
Snapping his chops to every degree
If he catches it, he will readily see
It’s best to let those evil ones flee
spy mountain lion
one hour from my front door
I dream of its teeth
howling snapping dogs
middle of the night antics
I picture big cat
They say that the crab, is crabby,
but most days, the crab is happy,
into the shell,
oh, what the hell,
crabby comes out, and starts snapping
snarling growling snapping
staring glaring daring
old challenges the young
dogs people cows or cats
but wait.... have any of us ever seen an old cow?
the snapping
turtle's tongue
hung dangling
as a glow worm
lit just enough
for to see
warm enough
for to be a meal
more than a little
death
Form:
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!
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
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’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.
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!
goliath frog throws his tummy around
rainforest is where he is often found
snapping up shellfish blue
consuming littler frogs too
slurping up insects with nary a sound
wind chills dip harsh freeze
branches snapping under snow~
stag stands frozen still

Cartel Jesus launched an old crone
High over Trump's Wall on a drone
Our Border Patrol
Went out of control
Snapping photos with their iPhone!
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?
poetic license
writers can be dangerous
tongues stretching and snapping gum
back and forth carriage
sardonic eyes…lies, lies, lies
Wolf’s truth sandwiched imagery
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.
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
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
