Snowbound snowflakes sneakily snip and snick the snowy snickering air....

Rip roots from shadow
Snip strings from low-hanging clouds
Rest God's work today...

TODAY
I trimmed my nose hairs
                                      …….Nuff said!!

There once was a cat named Bud,
Who thought he was such a stud;
Until a vet trip,
They gave him a snip,
Now Bud's not a stud but a dud.

The scissors go snip
While the blood just drips
The tears drip drop
While the heels clip-clop
The mind races
While looking at their disappointed faces...

let's burn the house!
	as you snip the wick
	and paint the world -
	you're such a brick!
	if truth be told
	i never liked the thought
	of growing old!...

Slash

Blood falls

Snip

Once more

Cut		

Now look in the mirror

Whimper

Look harder!

Sniff

Pure perfection

Sneer

Now once more...

Sound scissors make,
each time they are 
opened and closed…

Snipping out and ad 
or clipping the hair…

Snip, snip, clip, clip…

Sophie dog’s teeth are showing.
She is baring them.
Who is this strange man who dares slam a car door?
She runs out there, to snarl, to snip to….
Stopping in her tracks to  jump in the
Arms of Daddy!...

A lady I met named Regina
Had a terribly slack v'gina
She said with great mirth
‘twas caused by childbirth -
She’d seventeen kids to remind her!

Fictional poem!!!

UNSUPPORTED CODE Take the threads of my being.
weave them
wind them around and
entwine love in those knots
then snip snip
seize them apart
before the poison seeps in 
before the time takes away
what is sweet and what is mine UNSUPPORTED CODE...

we thrash about
in a pool of our bones
squirting ink into the eyes 
of a million long dead ghosts

   beneath the blackness of our ink
we snip off the arms of our sanity
one by one by one.... we slowly sink
into echoes of our snapping beak...

(First published in The Ravi 2015)
I flee the jaws of Time's story
As they snip me apart twig by twig
Black Roses nesting
In the flesh that was broken
Sand sweeps in, questing
Eternity's whittling me down to a sprig
An Enting lost in a paper factory...

Gouge the eyes from its sockets
Grate at the flesh
Chip at the bone
Scrape at the marrow
Churn out the intestines
Carve out the remains
Snip at the veins
Drain out the blood
Hack at the crown
Hollow the skull
What are you hiding beneath all of this?...

The snippity snip-snap of her bluff,
frankly, should have been enough.
To turn us away from such evil stuff.
We are Missouri Billy Goats Gruff
So it takes a little bit more of a huff
a smack down, belt or more obvious rebuff.
To make us know it is more than enough....

Think, plan, scheme, devise
 Write, read, review, revise

Sit, wait, reread, reflect,
  Insert, delete, keep, reject

Rethink, rewrite, reorganize
  Snip, cut, paste, prioritize

A poem's a process of many a step
  From that very first 'No' to that final 'Yep!'...

Fate, the Goddesses,
Spin their string
With just one snip
True suffering

But if the Goddesses
Do not snip
Then your life is hell
In every bit

The Fate
The Darkness
The ones who hold life
The Fate 
Who can deny
These show us their love
to go set us free
With just one cut
Im done with thee!!...

Burgundy red,
Peachy pink,
Sunny yellow,
Soft white.
The garden is full of a variety of flowers,
but the ones that I love the most,
are the delicate roses.
I gather a dozen and spread them all out.
Snip the ends, and fill the vase.
The beautiful roses remind me of innocence,
the gifts that grow form the earth....

Snip it, clip it add toil and trouble
the big cauldron begins to bubble.

A steamy green fog above the pot does
sit. A screaming frog is about my mist.

A Halloween stew I must make, so 
that all the goblins can partake.

As stories of Halloween begins to be told 
all my goblins belly's will be full and
warm....

did those outstanding daffodils withstand;
their feet were frozen last night;
or had they one last stand…

sparring midnight, did my love’s hand snip them,
gently warm them in a vase;
their faces greeting mine…

i did not send my spouse onto the hill;
too steep and cold for bare feet;
reprise of Spring will hail.

twitches belie pressure, nerve endings fray ~ in shock from the exposé 

love child appears out of the blue ~ dna sticks tight, unlike cheap screw

damage done, tied is the splice ~ heat of the moment has balls in a vice

prenuptial’s void, tightening grip ~ busted now, far too late for that snip

On the cusp of the crescent moon
I'll wait for you
dauntless
I'll incase the falling star
flaring out behind  your head
filligree the lacy work of fire
sequins sizzle
snip snap
strum the whiskey from your
fingers
who so ever  turns the hourglass
uncoils the skein
smothers the fire
smoldering embers
ignite no more
I am  now just 
a smudge on your cheek...

ITTY BITTY SONG

Snip snip red hair
A pretty pretty long
Snip snip auburn light
While I sing this
Itty bitty song

Reveals a pale moon
So round o round
It reflects the pool
O round howdy hum
I hardly hear a sound

Thistles and cordial bristles
Grow out and downward
Flow in red sea waves
With an itch and a scratch
From side to sideward

Sometimes just a trim; others, a drastic clip;
around-the-world trip with one mighty snip.
	
Children and scissors together, tempt fate;
by the time you check, it's already too late.

Like closing hen-house doors after the chicks are out;
no need to whimper, get angry or shout.

She's taken the scissors, achieved a slam dunk;
whacked her dog-ears off, leaving two stubby chunks....
