flexes his biceps,

       tucks his flabby tummy in,

              vanity in vain....

echoes from fallen timber, tucks his head
slowly escaping the smoke 
he lives another day

day tucks into lake
beneath a blanket of stars~
sun lends light to moon

water gleams with night~
still sky shatters as frogs 
splash into the moon...

midday storm shakes house 
rain pounds against windows 
house remains quiet 

dogs hide under sheets 
cat tucks herself under bed
house remains quiet...

When my body begins to burgeon, 
I go to see my plastic surgeon. 
His magic tucks and nips 
will make me smaller hips;
but he just smiles and says, “Stop splurgin'.”...

As the moon wafts a brilliant smile
Stars wink in reaction for miles
Gently night tucks in

Darkness settles in with silence
Nocturnal beings residence
Till sunrise ascends...

While
lamp post
streaks on floor,
darkness pervades
just as nightfall dims…
He tucks warm arms
around mine
through rain,
cold.

Poor Q. Pine tucks away all his quills
The ones that give perverts such strange thrills  
   Lovingly caresses them
   Religiously blesses them
Now he's off to see Beverly's Hills...

As day drifts into silent slumber
The sun, itself, tucks away 
Under a blanket of darkness
Leaving but the softest nightlight
The moon, for us to use as guide
And inspiration in the nighttime hours...

My Pit-Bull puppy, five months old, Sir Scoobs
looks at me crazy, arches and poops.
His tail tucks he runs,
he new what time it was,
after a juke, I could not subdue...

Your ship has come in 
    the moment's arrived
  No need to dream of
    gold nuggets to thrive  

  The moment is now
    time ticks, tucks it away
  Reach out and grasp her
    no more comes she today...

The spherical fire 
tucks itself to bed
burning out slowly
as it sinks into the sea

Now waking 
the opaque face
takes his place
in the black carpeted
sky that embeds 
the heavens diamonds

The hour of dreams
is upon us......

I watch a single girl
falter
when her face falls
her costume becomes parody
trying too hard she transforms awkward
and moves away
tucks into herself toward invisibility

dont listen to an invisible
older woman
with a turn
you could be fabulous...

Nature does a landscape well,
And in vivid hues, the sea—
Capturing each wave and swell,
Or as perfectly, a tree!

Even as she smiling toils,
Till her artistry prevails—
Then tucks away her brush and oils,
And her Masterpiece, unveils!...

A boy dreams of a fairy.
She will come and take my tooth today.
His mum tucks him up in the night.
Sleep well  I love you she say’s.
A smile so wave goodbye.
An eternal soul so where are we today.
Bottled milk can I have it know.
A dream that lasted a life time....

Listen to poem:

he tucks her into bed
like a good little girl
tells her a story and
kisses her on the cheek

she feels warm and safe
with her eyes closed for the night
stars and moonbeams conjured
her dreams launched to faraway lands

I went where the wind blows,
Cool sod my last bed
Sweet blowin’ winds then laid down in the prairie-grass and the wide orange sky tucks me in.
Not far away a trains-a-howlin’ 
Singin’ me a last lullaby 
Accompanied by the souls of 1,000 rail-road hobos
Crooning their dusty blues....

Some say I dream too much--
focusing on far too simple things:
like water lilies 
and raindrop-rings--
spiders in tucks
strumming silk strings;
stars slipping across
seas of downy night;
while others waste their sleeping,
steadfast, I close my eyes
trimming sails
for deeper light.......

Beat beat 
This heart 
Flees along 
The water 
Frozen 
From the sky 
Above 
What will it do 
Where will it go 
Hide hide 
This heart 
Tucks underneath 
Muscles and bones 
Waiting for it to be 
Safe again 
Jump jump 
Into the dark 
And let it flow 
As it floats 
To its own beat...

Nostalgia hides within the hopes
Of the present
Sours as it passes
Tucks itself into cerebral
Alleyways
Lingers in fitful dreams
Grows as it ripens
Ignites the trembling torch of
Ageing's adolescence

Avoids reflections
Mirror no longer an ally
She watches her youth pass by
Her outlook is bleak
Wants to hold on forever
Blinded by a fantasy

Endless youth she craves
She plays the addicting game
Of needles and lifts and tucks
Grasping at nothing
Chasing the impossible
Inevitable defeat...
