A radiant smirk
In the face of your fellow-
A real endowment....

stares back at me from within~ 
I close the compact...

Domineering look
Sneering penetrating eyes
You look so vicious

Silent, sarcastic sneering
Dark, deadly deliberation
Ignoring ignited ire
Foolish fervor over fateful follies....

Images dance of nudity and skin,
Sprawled and spread with legs wide open,
Tempting and sneering with hooks to bring you to hell along with him....

Welcome…
Judgemental, Patronising, Fake adults
Mocking, Scornful Ridiculers   
Contemptuous, Disrespectful, Sneering Users…
Welcome Welcome to ripen to maturity....

Sabine a spoil, selfish siren of the sea
her song is sweet as honey
luring sailors to their deaths
then sneering as their ships
smashed upon the shore.

It was just a break in the road
gaping, defying, sneering its
refusal to allow normal traffic;
smooth pavement ripped like
some old plastic seat covering
revealing wet stained stuffing.
No easy traverse in sight,
so I turned, and went back....

Diviner of Pain

      Tell me, artful diviner of pain,
     I know so well your grim refrain
   Your ugly mask, your sneering scowl
  Your twisted knife, your jeering howl...

      A deceiver with a poisoned dart
        Why do you sit so easily
           Upon my heart?...

It’s the ticking, ticking of the clock
I’m alone again unnaturally 
And I hear the black dog
Growling, sneering at me
It doesn’t go away
As I close my eyes
I will still see
The black dog
Growling, sneering at me
Even if it leaves today
It will be back soon anyway.

                           bitter

                 acerbic, unpleasant

     sneering, alarming, unwelcoming

acidulent, caustic, saccharine, confection

       tasting, appreciating, fancying

                     pleasing, tasty

                         sweet

I hear them
Muttering, whispering, conspiring
Always there; creeping, sneering

Telling me
I'm useless, hopeless, incompetent
They hate me; despise me

I'm paranoid,
Gripping me, sucking my life and soul
Make me hateful; angry, suspicious

Losing it
Watching, plotting, spying
I'll get them; destroy them, end them...

Confused arising  
Seeking, searching, scrutinizing. . .
Succeeding.
Conniving, cutlasses, smirking swords;
Silently mocking, laughing at my doom.
Glaring, glowering, with a gleam in their eye.
Eerie eye patches, sneering smiles;
Sinisterly scheming, anticipating gloom.
Creeping, crawling, cringing. . .
Complete. 
Concrete awakening....

turncoats in autumn
the stupendousness of leaves
sprinkle my driveway

golden as topaz
her variegated colors
autumns fine maple

rounded leaves of oak
plotting how to be crimson
sneering at walnut

stagnant fir soldier
retaining her verdent
keeping her counsel

october line up
shows off her gold finery
teasing november...

Listen to poem:

Who are these peers to whom
I'm supposed to belong to?
Certainly not my soul mates, nor kin.
I fear they're lackey leerers,
peering and sneering,
in unsavory ways.
Smearing my reputation
by claiming I'm in their
in-crowd, all endearing
and revering when I'm not.
I'm a mutineer from 
the peer besmear,
So let's be clear about that!...

The glaring sneering Sun has
Beat me down to the pavement.

The hot the heat
The flaring has won.

The. Violent engagement beastly
Perspiration beseigement

Beaming steaming gleaming
Dazed AMAZED seeking shade
From deathly rays.

Prone to bemoan the scorching
Phase of days of UNFALLING RAIN

Nick named SMOKRD AND turned
FIRE STARTER SUN 
Churned and burned...

Elizabeth: squat river with cranes, tugs, wharfs abristle,
Its broad, deep-dredged breadth plied by warship and merchant mammoth,
Ships with haughty grandeur gliding along buoyed channel—
Lofty titans sneering down on collier, barge, sloop at sail
And, on fog-bound nights, soothing sleepers with moans baritone.

You shouldn't try impressing folks 
above you;

       they'll just look down their noses 
       if you try to,

                sneering and snickering at whatever 
                you do.


Nor should you show off to folks 
below you;

       they'll think you're either lying or 
       plainly lucky;

                envious, they won't give credit 
                where it is due....

She lingers waiting for me to make a mistake.
I feel her, sneering at me, ready to pounce.
Unsure how she originated, but I keep her masked.

Cover her up with a brilliant smile,
Being Robin William funny, so no one knows
Except me….

She goads me with pokes and prods
Trying to get me morose and sad.
I am aware of her power

I dare not give in to her.
She can take me down harder than a Mack Truck...

Disdain can be so hurtful and baseless.
So hard to renew prestige once tarnished.
Derision, sneering in reply useless,
As disdain on disdain, with brush varnished
Only adorns contempt with scorn garnished.
Better to outflank to prove your true worth
In common ground dug over to unearth
A new campaign where seeds already sown
Can yield reputation and worth rebirth
Freed of need to moan and atone, alone....

The Ghost in her past haunts her in her sleep,
With fleeting, mocking images she should not keep.
Each night He ghoulishly waits for his invisible hold,
Sneering at her unpretentious heart of gold.
 
He unveils lovely, sweet memories of days long ago,
Then across her body an icy wind begins to blow.
He holds her captive with a voice in her ear,
But she wakes up smiling, now she has no fear…

A wheezing help'ng jolt floats daintily 
As raindrops tumble on from the sky 
While the earth snickers mischievously 
In squalls that rant in the windy eye 

Treetops influence, the move of breeze 
Blowing harvest time leaf laughs damply 
O' the land bows down among the trees 
Sneering blast exhaust endearingly

Protesting with indecent ascent
Pre-winter sun spreads blue litany 
Extending in a chilled jubilant 
As pre-winter stoops into flurry...

I've been skipping the sidewalks
of my latter poems,

inhaling jasmine
with open lungs-
but sneering at imagery flaws
with a certain hostility
bullies claim
cursing at fallen language,
snubbing punctuation

then suddenly, quite unexpectedly
it bloomed in me,
perfection will always be          over there
just ten spaces away
from pen's reach 

So I succumb to humility
and adore the cracks 
my heart so carefully construed
with her bare hands

yes, falws and all...

The devil is in hearts of the many too afraid to be themselves 
That are first to face the tune of day's clock 
With wickedness thrained their dereliction can't stop
They're prudently persistent about the way you do things 
Having absolutely no concept of love or compromising
When they finish destroying what they could 
They move on to another
So when you see him sneering back at you 
Across the table at the bar 
Know it's him the snake breeching the weeds 
The unholy morning star...

You were discovered inside a white Bible on a summers day
brown as a dead hen with a chicken neck
crumbling too, brittle, all your water gone
oh Grandma what is it? I had to think for a second.
you are a reminder of a time when I was not anyone's grandma
I saw you sneering at me and I smiled with affection.
you were the first flower I had not gotten from Daddy and Mommy.
I will keep you safely inside this Bible forever my love.
Remembering how nervous was the boy who handed you to me....
