Short Sneak(A) Poems

arthritic hands search the fretboard
finding chords that hurt the least
the old guitar brings a toothless grin
then we sneak a sip of whiskey...

baby giraffe runs 
ducks flutter in murky pond 
snakes slither away

lions sneak a nap 
seals entertain laughing crowd 
penguins waddle by...

Running

                                 sneak a look back

                         heart pounding, sweat pouring

                           the hammer is about to fall

                                        I wake...

Chase my tricks of dew 
among the narcissi
that sit atop 
my window sill
with flits of stolen 
galanthus 
I pilfered just for you.

I hasten that you answer me
before the moon twitches at her curtains
to sneak a better view.

Tell me, you 
whom my 
heart desires
Voice of my 
eyes
Betray my 
heart
Our prized 
secret

My eyes, a 
reflection 
o'my dream
To mend the 
seam,
To heal your 
heart,
And soothe 
its hurt

Dive and 
drown in 
their pool 
ever,
Keep you in 
e'er,
Without a 
fight
All through 
the night...

Take a quick moment to sneak a peak into me
Into my pain, but only gather up the pieces of me, which do not desire to cause you this same rain.

I am purposely here. You are to, don’t be drowned out by the sorrows left in you!

Get up! The fight is isn’t OVER, and you can’t win a battle, wishing on a four leaved clover!...

I was truly inspired by my Pastor's insightful sermon today!

I didn't even try to sneak a snooze or let my mind go astray!

He spoke of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of old.

Could be said 'twas a "prophet-sharing" seminar he preached to his fold!

As the seconds of your time
Begin to merge with mine
With every brush of skin
We touch tentatively within
As you listen to me chat away
Within your closed lips 
I hear all you have yet to say
As you look into my eyes
I stare deep inside a beautiful mind
As your future asks where will you be
I sneak a dream what could be we...

Hanging around
between jobs, on the hook.
Enjoying moments,
often fleeting, to sneak a look.

Overall, grateful
for this home and life.
Dare I dream
you’ll be my wife?

I can only hope
you feel the same.
I’ll be patient
until you take my name.

As long as it takes,
I’ll never quit.
A shy potholder 
in love with an oven mitt....

I guess, next to actual
transfiguration, writing
is closest I will ever come
to sainthood.  Not that 
everything about me
needs correcting, the 
old nun would scold me
with a suspicious smile – 
for more than once I saw 
her sneak a candy from her
top desk-draw, just before 
lunch, and the Sacrament
of Grace...

I forgave her
with a smile.......

Peeling away the onion
      uncovering another layer 
       Brings a tear to my eye
          can just about bear
          keep stripping back 
           trying not to stare
          I sneak a little peep
         find I’m almost there
         then come the floods
           my soul’s laid bare
             All that remains 
            is pungent despair...

You sneak a kiss
beneath the maple tree,
upon my cheek it landed
you fill my heart with glee.

The leaves are changing
and are falling to the ground,
Fall inspiration is here
chirping birds are around.

Autumn is setting in
flowers slowly go to sleep,
awaiting the Winter's chill
Summer's warmth gently weeps.

Music! Dancing! Beauties galore

The town will be full of all

After the King is chosen 

for the Mardi Gras Ball



March 8th, That's the day

When the King will rule the town

Close your eyes and sneak a peek

As the pants fall to the ground



So all you folks, come along

Join the crowd ... be witty

See all! Hear all! Know all!

Downtown, New Orleans City.....

St Paddy’s day elf had a secret pal
He wished it would have been his cousin Al.
It was actually a bunny, which was kind of weird.
For when he thought of the rodent, it appeared.

You must be magic, he said, leprechaun-like, right?
The bunny held on to his leg, and he held on tight.
It was difficult to sneak a gift to the little guy.
He shows up day and night the elf said with a sigh....

He discovered a little girl lying in his bed.
Shh! He told his wife. She is sleeping like the dead.
Baby bear wanted to sneak a peek at the human too.
Look said Mama Bear. What a cute tiny shoe!

Goldilocks woke up and was startled to see
Three grizzly bears winking at her, smiling with glee.
She had no idea how kind they all were and marvelously gay.
Running off without her shoes on this warm spring day....

A definition of me relies on
your borrowed time
to sneak a question into vested terms
That decide my earthly worth
and stun my vision into sight
And if the sum of one chooses
to relay my plight
in numbers that sum up to none
Feel free to walk away
and place my days into
silent moments of your
worthy time
And call this poem…
tragically unfinished
And this life…
sadly retracted
and our youthly vision
materially tampered...

The heavens have touched the earth

unleashing  darken clouds

with an imposing blackness

We sneak a peep

at the looming madness    

cringing to the clapping thunder

rendering wonders

to all asunder

Swirling smoke

churning woes            

reciting roles

invoking judgment

l hail, bowing to plead  

praying for a streak of dawn

revoking the pending anguish

breaking the dreadful accord...

In a world sometimes cruel and bleak
Two little jewels from heaven sneak a peak
They come down to earth on shooting stars
As they giggle and wiggle passing Jupiter and Mars
Two little gems with a heavenly glow
Who greet you with a smile and humbly so
They bring down joy and want us to know
That Love still pours down in heavens light show.

Is it really so hard to sneak a look behind 
the hand that holds God's cards?
Quite right, Einstein, 
God does not play the roll of dice. 
If that were so, we should rightly say 
his gamble of our lives 
was not so very nice.
I may not see his every move, 
or know what's held for me this day 
but for those He holds in love, 
and where they understand His way, 
His hand is cast for certain good - 
He hears each word from those who pray....

The fearsome Bulldog strolls 
as a robust reminder
to those exhibiting various traits 
of hooligan grinder.

He keeps a close watch 
for surreptitious acts of malice
from those who sneak a peek 
then retreat to their palace.

Kings and Queens 
who flaunt their gargantuan pride.
Be careful where you trod 
the dog hears every lie.

Blocked by most of the sugar crowd 
with their game.
The level of hypocrisy wielded 
just adds to the shame....

I bridged the gap
Therefore I haven't fallen into the great crevasse 
Pretty good going...
I'm happier unlost, not in a pit of despair 

Plus Strictly is on later
I'm going to experiment with taco making, am halfways through knitting a pumpkin and just bought a book with promises of being funny...

I haven't got up yet - but I'm totally going to

I'll sneak a poem on the end...

I can contemplate
or I can become better
I need to decide...

Furiously clacking away
At a tiny keyboard,
One parent computer-sentry,
The other a full time zone away.
When I manage to sneak a second,
Looking at all the contests
I would never have a chance
To enter, I wonder:
What is a blitz?
And thus spawned a small ditty,
Albeit a quick one,
On life, death, and the keeping of memories.
Almost a month later did I receive my first and only accolade.

rejoice.
surpass your peak,
sneak a glance
your knees 
may wish to 
dance 


Evolve does hand
words follow 

the thumb that holds,
the mind that thinks 
a soul that 

see's

who knows what 
that word means 

but it means good,
as it 
should be

fill this book 
with a creed,

though I do not 
know what holds 
mean 
~~

trivial is their scheme.
a nightmare is 
always a dream 

rejoice is to 
redeem

redeem is to 
foresee 

if you can foresee,
you can 
look.
Only at 
the 
moment...

Glimmers... Hold on to the little moments of magic and miracles in the world.

See the glimmers 
(Feel the glimmers)
By Michelle Morris

See the glimmers
Feel the hope
See the rainbows
Embrace the unknown

For in each moment
There's a chance
To catch a star
Sneak a glance

See the angels
Feel their wings
See their halos
Embrace their peace

Feel the glimmers
Ignite your soul
The angel's blessings
Make you feel home
