She sits unmoving
Birds flutter, just out of reach
Undaunted, she waits...

What tortured soul lies,
Dead and unmoving towards life,
But my dieing soul....

Frozen, unmoving:
You are staring up at me,
In the winter cold.

The old dog waited
By the front door, unmoving
Refusing death's call..

your long hair flying
as we danced very fast
then so slow and close
time unmoving in London
as we danced time away...

blizzard on the brink
everyone is stocking up
weather sequestered

anticipation
eight to ten inches of snow
unmoving traffic...

Faint flickerings from the darkness
through a glittering gloom a sunset
peeks from unmoving clouds.
I stand and look into tomorrow's face...

Sad unmoving air
Humidity wilts flowers
Animals search for water
Sauna-like setting
Barren ground is parched, dry, cracked
Miserable hot summer...

Dusk
Ripples all gone
Silence broken
Crickets frozen songs
Darkness above
As below
Now
Where I am in repose
Quite quite dead
An unmoving
Story...

stale, stagnant, unmoving
going nowhere,
forgetting to live
stuck in the muck of nothingness
dried out, dried up,
closing inward
forgetting to care...

an overcast Kansas day
the kind that gives you a sunburn
without any sun
the clouds are dark grayish blue
thick sluggish unmoving
I stare into them seeking my Archangel Michael...

pretty daisy
crisp, clean, perky,
she outshines the sun
on this overcast day
her petals are unmoving windmills
her seeds sit up expectantly
I have a granddaughter named after her...

tranquil unmoving water,
felt it would be cold this early in the morning
my little boat was waiting,
to take me on today’s adventure
My heart was light, I felt joyfully excitedly refreshed...

gold green some yellow
leaf tapestry of forest
cooling down of ears

verigated scene
knitted up by the master
theres a sudden chill

a red bush taunts me
her merry leaves unmoving
winter almost here...

Not moving at all
Just being stationary
Caught
In a constant unmoving
Wave
Left without
Desire
Having no
Motivation
Just going to have to except
My situation
For I am
Submerged
In this deep
Ocean...

gray tranquility
cloudy unmoving pensive
endearing silence

moments before rain
loud whip cracks across the sky
wind quickly picks up

full blown thunderstorm
peace is obliterated
nothing tranquil now...

Apathy
             empty, numb
  unfeeling, unknowing, unmoving
     dead, heartless, desire, fire
consuming, demanding, conquering
          strong, relentless
                 Passion

Unmoving, sweltering, its evening falls,
Unrolling slowly a knotty unbleached cotton pall,
Turns unceremoniously and exits - 
      the day ending eight years,
Eliott's[1] sends a breeze, a silent scene ends call.

A gravestone.
It says Sheila Ryan, died aged 59
A devoted mother

Here clinging to the hillside
Striving, for the solemn white cross at the top

Standing
quiet, 
unmoving, 
unsympathetic.

As soil creep carries the believer down the hill....

Once upon a time
there was a little Cup Cake,
just there unmoving
and cold from the wintery
room temperature.
The icing was deep purple,
just a circle of sugar.
Suddenly it was picked up
and passed over from
one hand to another...
Halloween was here!...

The formation stood just over five feet tall
It stayed unmoving in a frosty sleep
Bright sun appeared, dismay to all
The formation could not keep
Buttons started to slide
To Alyssa's dread
Snowman cried
Melted

a frozen aria
an angry sparrow
barking at winter


a frozen farewell
a snowflake coating
on fallen feathers


the snow drifts
an unmoving breaker
patiently poised


an icicle threatens
the dallying drips
that give it life


a snowshoe rabbit
eyes the carrot
dark eyes watch

Lying upon the couch 
Listlessly unmoving 
Lethargic and sluggish
Like a sun-drugged lizard
Lacking the will to budge
Light hurts his heavy eyes
Liqueur played tricks on him.

Insects are terrific at camouflage
Many blend into bushes and trees
Leaf katydid doesn’t move or dodge
Lying still during autumn breeze

With her oranges yellows and bits of green
Leaf katydid is almost rarely seen
Lying on a leaf that matches her exactly
Being still, unmoving, most compactly...
