Premium Member Sad Saturday

Despair weaving up my spine,
engorging within body, mine.
And though I twitched and groaned today,
that feeling did not go away.

Premium Member Santa and Snoopy

Santa got drunk and pissed all over the snow 
bumble tossed it and yellowed Rudolph's' nose
the elves twitched their ears in dismay
Sam the snowman boarded the sleigh 
Santa slept in snoopys house out in the cold

Rabbit Hole

She gazed into the rabbit hole
And screamed as severed hands appeared,
They twitched and grabbed and pulled her down;
The hands were kinder than she’d feared,
And helped her trim her hair and beard.

During a Round of Golf At Pebble Beach

On Pebble Beach's seventh green
I paused to watch an otter.
He dove, cavorted, spun around,
An acrobat on water.
Then lolling, drifting, eyeing me
He twitched brown nose and whiskers.
His thought, that moment, mirrored mine:
"He plays all day, that rascal."

Premium Member The Painted Lady

Bold, bright as broach,
plucked from 
a distant gaze to settle
the folds of a morning,
unmoved by the dappled light
twitched across its outstretched wings,
a sleeping butterfly
rolled up in a cardboard tube
and sent flying 
halfway across a world
to here, still deep
in its dream.

Premium Member Darkness Opened Wide

Little
Miss Witch nose twitched.
Bewitched a mundane stitch;
Halloween clown from head to toe
trick, treat.

She walked
Down the dark street
With sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, M&Ms
Bag full

One, two,
Three, sudden; Poof!
Black spike hat, gown, and boots
Holding a kitten as black cat
Looked out.

After the Fire

Embers twitched; it took everything I had but they reluctantly stirred to my will Cold ashes abandoned in the grate also mustered under whispered threats and gentle reproach Through tortured twists and painful resolve hollow bones, wings and talons emerged I live again - spirited, proud and free Rising to face the world anew

Premium Member MOUSE HOUSE

MOUSE HOUSE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my shoe, I found quite a sight, a small mouse, with fur soft and light. He twitched and he squeaked, as I gasped and I freaked, Then we both took off running in fright! *This poem is written in memoriam and dedicated to the field mouse who mistakenly decided our garage would be a cool place to wait out summer's heat.

Mystery Runner

Mystery Runner


Fog curtain twitched,
Neighbourly insights,
Sudden motion pitched,
Band Aided 'Lycra',
A shaping event horizon,
Of near destruction,
Short pony tail rolled,
A pendulum effect,
Why do fog curtains,
Never use nets?

Night Deer

The dark drives wind-horses.
They enter the car through your eyes
as you side-slip bends,
veer from contorted shadows.

Once, the hind hoof of a doe
slapped at your face,
the Chevy twitched,
it plowed onward
into the frozen hide of the earth.

When you looked through the rear mirror
you saw yourself
prone and trembling on the asphalt,
while the white-tail escaped
through the iron anvil of night.

Premium Member Sneezy wheezy

As my nose twitched,
before the coming sneeze,
time froze, anticipation heightened,
awaiting its inevitable release.

I surfed the bardo,
my thoughtless attention animated,
wherein fulcrum of tremors,
could not be located.

The tumbler did fall,
when I least expected;
I covered my face,
that others be protected.

As for the act,
expelling saliva and air,
it’s a learnt art,
I perform with flair.

One-Way Mirror

A one way mirror it was,
Justice never served.
For that's the way of life,
Neither got what they deserved.

There was beauty in her voice,
Her handling, such poise.
One left, one stayed,
For now its turned,
And he longs for something,
That was once his.

Time after time,
The clock was locked.
His eyes never twitched,
Since the farewell bid.

He turned her, a stone,
Ever since
Light never shone.

Itch Witch Glitch Twitch Not For Contest

I knew a witch who had a glitch
She was itching to make her potion
She twitched and twitched writing it down
Stirring and stirring creating a new blend

Pouring in the Starbucks coffee at the end
Pulling out her broom dripping with
A witches blend of Mocha and Coco
This potion was ready for Glen

That will be $5.95
Please drive through to
The End 

I just realized Starbucks doesn't have a drive though, oh well my bad. LOL

Rest In Peace

"Rest in peace"
They delivered there morse
In lose shoulders 
in dropping face
In gloomy eyes.

So his body rested
Under the warm earth
To be broken into pieces 
To that primitive ocean
Of hydrogen carbon oxygen.

But the soul was freed
In its jolly unrest
Sped through light
Twitched ones ear
Or plucked others hair
Gone was the somber
Gone the heavy air.

and everyone ate and drank heartily 
and the soul lived happily ever after

Eating In

I watched the monkey 
climb aboard,
and sink his claws 
into the small of your back
after all, 
its where the sweetmeat is


you stood there 
not batting an eye
while he devoured
and chewed on your psyche


ripping at ligaments
you twitched,
just a mite
and went white


refrain from turning back
refrain from self flagellation


throwing that hairy parasite
off your back


wings will spread again
and paint the doors to heaven
with a Mona Lisa smile
