Short Supine Poems

Supine, void of rest,
Enumerating cricket chirps,
Should be counting sheep....

Supine
on an oak bough
blooming its spring garlands,

Mother Superior
and Father Supine
Needed to chat
But did it online
Sensuous sentences
Were not allowed
Too many ears
Can harp on the cloud!...

Whiskey
Frisky

Pink gin
Head spin

Beer cheer
Eyes blear

Fine wine
Supine

Big head
Feel dead

Rethink
The drink...

The night is not supine to me.
             in it i act much alive...
             For me it works well
             to feed
             my dreams......

Nebulous angels vacant worth
Foresee no fortunes adulate
Dawn's desecrated, faithless birth
Supine mother to stillborn fate

The Vigil   (Octodil)


Late through the night
A flame burns oil.
He sits with weary eyes
In vigil by the bed.
She lies supine; soft is her breath,
Peaceful, serene her pallid face.
He sleeps; she breathes no more.
Oil-starved the flame goes out....

Her unassailed Highness sleeps
belly upturned
in fretful repose

Garnished green, by a faerie ring
bare and barren
laid out for a spell

Majestic head in verdant bed
Impromptu eyeful
a cameo gaze

black and white, by degree
Covert, supine
pussyfoot queen...

The Journey
Written: by Tom Wright
10-11-2011

Twas not his ultimate destination
causing him to weigh deep
laying supine upon his bed at night.

But rather mind’s journey fixation
That would transport him to eternal sleep.
This alone, caused sleep’s flight.

JUST AUGUST

a romp through August
supine rests outstretched on sands
three-year-old farmhands
blowing bubbles after rain
a finger-read splendid book

in "Angels & Demons" you wept softly,
shimmered your strings in a supine grace,
reached warmly over the edge with
a tremulous honey vibration
rising in crescendo, dripping into shadow,
then onto a deceptive cadence;
your amber rhythms stirred the inchoate
with a chord seared by sweet lament –...

The prisoner


Neath the sword of Damocles
the vassal lays supine
gazing up at bitter fate
an endless space of time
threadbare death above him
Hades there below
sacrificial fodder
carrion for the crow
echoing inside his head
he hears the gavel fall
liberty and truth betrayed
injustice for us all...

Tiger’s carriage supine
excepting you and me
come alongside the cool waters
of eternity.

Tiger’s claws dally in the homemade stream.
The zoo has a dangerous following.

Fresh and clean,
our cheeks lean
into the Tiger’s beverage.

Tiger’s tongue, sanguine,
wagging of thirst —
welcoming.

idyllic fake smile, an empath death holds
a supine body twisted in the folds
lamenting memories seep through the pain
where incidental weakness falls like rain
ten fold the weeping willow tree's own bane
veneration seeps with crimson tinged night
as her aura blends with the fading light

The turkey this year was so great,
the wishbone lay there on the plate.
I won the big part
and wished from my heart;
“Please, grandad, don’t start a debate!”

He didn’t hear me, I am guessing;
said, “is it stuffing or dressing?”
We fed him with wine,
which made him supine;
that, was our Thanksgiving blessing!...

Flowery fur on supine brown beauty
attracts fleet of
butterfly 
floating 
on
wings
of blue 
fantasy,
rippling in air,
luring tumbled feline playful rapture.

Rays of the summer sun, beaming down past noon
 All the fun is winding down, as the sun will fade soon

   From a supine position, I watch swallows take hold
    Of the sky, as the sun still glows like 24 karat gold

June blooms a cheerful lemon daisY
Of buttery dawn's fresh creamy shinE
Yielding a delicate cornsilk petaL
Filled with marigold light to dwelL
Under curved heaven's canary crown halO
Lingers, supine, in the dandelion meadoW.

silky sunlight stirs the air
then, falling supine
with motion spills upon striking tips of oak
clenched between bony fingers
a passing vision of life,
where lucid thoughts
and passionate needs
are found resurrected in a winter's day
the graves of yellow daffodils lie 
beneath a blanket of fallen snow
inspiring faith in tomorrow...

COWBOY 


               Peter is an innocent genuine cowboy.
               Not dishonest to cheat! Not careless to annoy.
                        Cheerful cattle-grazing guy.
                        lies supine gazing at sky,
              Or runs reckless after butterfly to enjoy.
