A quick succession
Lone ant on my grape
Exact in my spoon....

Deep
in
the wood-
a haunting
nocturnal menace
hoots
of
rivals
challenging
the territory....

By Dawne Zacharias
 
 
Cold wind brings the shivers,
Rain runs down my face.
Lightning strikes in succession,
I seek shelter from its embrace....

Sassy Betty Boop
Said: "Don't take away my boop-oop-a-doop."
Innocent sexuality caused male obsession.
Womanly charms had them lined up in succession....

Our meeting last night
Sent fire through my heart and veins
Fireworks from your touch
Fast succession exploded
Bright colors decorated...

One Sunday
My wife kissed me thrice
In quick succession
You have finished your quota so early I said
Today is your Birthday darling
She said with
Another kiss 
year's best....

The absolute present is nothing else but

The succession of razor-thin moments 

At which the future is converted into the past!

NOVEMBER

November saying hi
October says bye
Valediction for succession
Enter like a magician
Moving things from best
Bringing them to your chest
Edit and expunge the worst
Rewrite the trailed test...

she walks barefoot
waves rise and recede
endless succession of tides
silver of stippled crests
watchful eyes of moon
crests stippled of silver
tides of succession endless
recede and rise waves
barefoot walks she...

For him, time was a mere succession of milk bottles,
He'd sit and watch the summer passing him by
on the backs of pretty young things
still wrapped in cotton.
His wife died.
He decided to have the front door repainted.
He remembered her red hair....

life 
 this passing through 
 strive, strain 
 to attain 
 standards arbitrary 
 success, succession 
 blinded to beauty 
 by beauty 
 miss the point 
 until the end. 
  
 perhaps 
 we are extras 
 in the dreams 
 of one, who waits 
 to be born....

A prophecy arose
Within the silhouette of dawn
how the hollow skylines pirouette
along fate’s bowels
gliding in smooth succession
Whilst sampling memories
of Japanese cherry blossoms
moths fervently surround
Diverse symmetries 
of porch lights
Reveries...

A newborn child on the nurse' s lap,
Receives on its chest her repeated tap.
Restless, distressed, draws lower chest in,
In rapid succession to suck the air in.
Breath-sounds are weak in a cyanosed child,
Its unexpanded lungs indicate Atelectasis in the child....

What is life but a succession of fleeting moments

joined by our curiosity for things to come

and a series of memories that are left behind

which essentially propel us what to become!

I had taken a seat along the sequences of curiosity
When suddenly my mistress dawned
Her eyes alternating in succession
With the pattern that were mine

“Hello” was the word that ejected from her lips
Firecrackers had begun ascending
History was being sculpted before us...

Just got the “bum's rush”, hoping for some direction
From this so-called specialist when it comes to treating depression
Five minutes listening to his fancy swill
Prescribes a different “magic” pill
Collected his huge fee and ushered in the next in succession...

King, fear of succession
Bishop, fear of the devil
Government, fear of a coup
Soldier, fear of  bullets
Student, fear of failure
Patient, fear of syringe
Sailor, fear of drowning
Wife, fear of co-wife
Athlete, fear of defeat
Scholar, fear of criticism
Criminal, fear of arrest...

God sounds angry
His thunder blasts woke me up
Like a cannon with rapid fire

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
It was fierce
In rapid succession

Like an assault rifle….

I could not help thinking of Texas
And how displeased God must be
As another thunder blast shook my house...

They have lived 
in a succession of apartments
through the years, 
one bigger than the last.

And the bigger their home,
the more cramped it feels.  

She's nostalgic for the first apartment. 

Tiny it was, but big 
for two people 
who were glued together 
all the time anyway....

Discussing together, faire play
We sustain the living
The position of hews
The generation of does
Succession of woes, Stonehenge
Phoenix, of the United Hacking Ass
Returns, flying clearly, fairly, disbussing
We fly this far
We fly with a Cinquento
With a purpose, but half the man of Aeronaught....

Now, when the colours are blinding
The breeze bends around the hedges
Beneath the midsummer morning’s grace,
And plays with the fleecy clouds
Whose eager eye meets his gowned pride
To the rhythm of the thunder’s loud beats
And sets the deeply conscious drizzle free
To the ever graceful need of the soil...

A stare stabbed me –
My eyes darted – a presence
Loomed large, electrically.
A horned owl was my assailant.
A rest in a mesquite tree
Made a meeting of chance.

Through the glass door –
The dividing line of succession –
We wondered about the other
Who should have dominion.
By the talons I could discern
‘Twas the owl that won....

Southern Hemisphere
Northern Hemisphere
Like sleeping companions tugging the suns warmth from each other
One hoarding it, one exposed
And leaves quivering like exposed limbs
Until the trees jettison them like paratroopers
Each one swings in the currents chilly
As if held by an oscillating string 
A succession of falling pendulums...
