Asparagus

Delicate subtle green stem  
So unusual   
The emerald of the crop 
Little magic wands  
Stacked upon my plate 
Dare I salt? 
No!

I can barely stand
With your charms stacked against me
You're overwhelming,
But I can't fall before you
First I must win you over

Premium Member Too Easily Seduced

Too easily
we are seduced by moments
thinking they can be infinitely stacked
forgetting the lesson
of lyric Babel
the flip-side of Tongues.

The Troll's Treasures

Broken hearts
Under the bridge.

Stacked and sorted.
Sorted and stacked
Cracked and crushed
Crushed and cracked.

Broken hearts
Under the bridge.


The Little Horse

A horse was the smallest of all
But he also long to be tall
So, he stretched everyday
Stood on bails of stacked hay
Until he stumbles and fall

The Birch logs are stacked
Ready to feed the Woodstoves
My Soul is at rest

My Heart longs to be 
With my Most beloved : Lenore
I wait to go HOME

Crunchy Leaves

Red and Gold leaves crunch
And snap cinnamon wafts up
As I slough through piles
Of dried, dead leaves stacked near trees.
I wonder if slugs creep here.

Premium Member Cultural Psychosis

When facts are misnomers
and life is just numbers
When the cards are stacked
and our conscience is hacked
When we elect kingpins

The house always wins

Premium Member On My Pillow

My thoughts are scattered
on my pillow,
Dreams
are stacked
waiting behind the door
or maybe
they entered
then got lost
before they arrive
on the bed.

Premium Member The Plunge of the Festive Block

There once was a festive green block,
Stacked high on the rim of a dock.
With peace in it's heart,
It chose to depart,
And plunge off the edge with a
shock!

Dress in your purples, your pinks and your whites
To swirl a soiree of foliage brights.
June beams balmy moon gazing nights
And sun stacked sweetened strawberry bites.

Premium Member Sculpture

neatly stacked stones
       making sense of the world
             man must build!

          counter to that
      man must also tear down
             what a waste!

darkness posing as light

Words stacked on top of words uttered in vain

Confirmation Bias

When we find our convictions attacked, we rely on a deck neatly stacked. There’s a cool little bias that will always supply us with a handy alternative fact.

Premium Member Sea Glass

Iridescent sea glass is spit out onto warm sand
Without fanfare, no spokesperson, no brass band
Milky creamy beach rocks, in no way bland
Stacked in a gorgeous pile, rocks polished and fanned.

a wonderful birthday wedding cake
two celebrations in one
the baker stacked roses and carnations high
in peaches, pinks, and lavenders
delighting she was asked to cater her daughter’s wedding

Concrete Roots

I feel like a tree
That has grown into a wall
Unable to branch out
Pushing against blocks
Stacked up

I’m bound in stone
With heavy roots
So we both can exist
And not have to fall

The large hairy gorilla creature had never had a full out fit 
At the Happy Supermarket they said he dumped every stacked can display
Big lie made up by old ladies who like to make up fabrications

Winter's Doorstep

Bleak
Gray day,
Biting breeze
Offers portent
And tumbles autumn’s harvest of sere leaves
To winter’s foreboding, icebound doorstep:
Stacked, stands cordwood,
Shovels wait,
First snow
Looms.

Premium Member Can Ya Dig It

Wrinkled clothes stacked near my ironing board will just lie there, completely ignored ‘cause today I’ll be groovin’. To the oldies I’m movin’ like a teen to the hits most adored.
