Premium Member Summer Cooking


In summer, sluggish sense of sloth he gets, 
lazy time passes him by, he forgets.
     In hot kitchen he doesn’t go,
     keeps whipped eggs on portico.
He snoozes in shade, sun cooks omelets.

In summer, sluggish sense of sloth he gets, 
stops the lazy time, for clock’s hands he sets.
     In hot kitchen he doesn’t go,
     keeps whipped eggs on portico.
He snoozes in shade, sun cooks omelets.

In summer, listless feel of sloth he gets, 
stops the sluggish time, the clock hands he sets.
     In hot kitchen he doesn’t go,
     keeps whipped eggs on portico.
He snoozes in shade, sun cooks omelettes.

Leo living large
Lion lying in his lair
Big belly bloated

Zebra and Zebu
Warily watching, worried
Ready to run

Fatigued full feline 
Snoozes in the savannah
Animals amble

Garden Days

I sit; dog snoozes; bees parade
In, out, in, over, under flowers
Buzz-ZIP! with pace and poise and purpose
A hum of bees spell us to sleep.

A Chinese Fishing Net

Death hangs
on the poles
at our bank.
A Chinese 
fishing net 
sinks down
with baits
to lure into 
the fate. 
Doom lurks 
between the
darkness and
the blue. 
Joys dry in the
breathless net
at dawn. As
care snoozes,
snare catches.

Premium Member Snoozing With a Cat

My cat Jeff snuggles when I hit the hay

   He's strong-minded and always has his way

      He snores as I try to doze

         His whiskers tickle my nose

            I'm sleepless while he snoozes night and day

Premium Member Nocturnal Retreat

nocturnal retreat

mauve tackles midnight
 lavender echoes whisper ~
  song of the rooster

curly coral clouds
 dressed in a burnished bronze blush ~
  ebony snoozes

round rosiness yawns
 in wispy gossamer hush ~
  the sweet scent of pink

puffy plumes of gold
 like lush heavenly spindrift ~
  nocturnal retreat

Premium Member Oddly

Time oozes
Depletes fast
Odd snoozes
Fade at last


Oddly enough
Age soon churns
Loss frames stuff
To ash turns


Is it strange?
Loss keeps score
Ooze meets change
At the door


Time and space
Fade each day
Age frames face
In end play


Start with cheer
To live spell
Age my dear
Must soon tell

Premium Member Finals Anxiety

simply awake
No music lulls
No quiet snoozes
No counting naps
No stretching tires
My clock taunts me
No comfort lullabies
No breathing relaxes
Pajamas strangle me
No coolness soothes
No meditation stupors
No visualization sleeps
No position tranquilizes
No supplements sedate
No aromatherapy calms
or finger painting slumbers
I am insomnia’s vigilant sentry.
Where, oh where's the sandman?

Premium Member Mind Meld

Riding the astral plane; joy is truly, all mine. Epiphanies will come, while my body, snoozes. I meld with many souls; at-one-ment is sacred. Spiritual bliss, Electricity static, stimulates souls on their journey; a power recharge. Ego releases, opens up paths to elation, not discontent. The soul soars, mind will meld, answers come; Mesh with God’s mind; peace…

Randomly Yours

strewn thoughts 



The skinny dog
snoozes on the graveyard's lawn
at ease with the stillness of the night
The fruit of the carob tree 
looks like a cotton pickers hand 
on an autumnal beach
a bottle of suntan oil 
tells how the summer was
A lone streetlamp sways
a drunk staggers home
he used to be an actor, stops and sing 
A seagull fancied to be human
used lotion and combed feathers shiny
Alas, it was hacked to death
by those that resist any change
