Premium Member In The Mirror

Who is this person who observes?
Familiar, from old photographs
the similarity unnerves:
I laugh the way he also laughs.
Eyes close, the image disappears,
as does my father, and my fears.
Form: Rhyme


This Fallen World's

Unnerves, whose feeling current
With all voices mute.
More troublingly shook
And so deeper torn

Deprives, which surrounding fear
What does constitute
As God's offspring, Heaven's peace
Soul. Since birth forlorn.
Form: Rhyme

High Blood Pressure and White Coat Fever

I HATE how it squeezes
It unnerves and freezes
Blood pounds through the arm
Setting off my alarm
Read her face like a book
(The nurse has that look)
"It's high to the max"
"Just try to relax!"
"You're close to a stroke"
(Lord, I need a smoke)

Premium Member Winter's Whipsaw Wares

Winds whip and whistle
past bark of branches bare
collar-cringing cold
winter's whipsaw wares

Frozen faces, fingers
tingling, trembling toes
shivers, shakes, sunken eyes
signal endless woes

A-howling and a-knocking
the nasty night unnerves
the gentle dreams of lovers
nestled in their curves

Premium Member Cake

Listen to poem:
A Victoria sponge is round, 
Voluptuous soft and fluffy. 
A bake that lifts and soothes a tired day, 
Mirrored by the disc of warm comforting tea. 
Yet as I gaze into my mug, 
I sometimes yearn for a Battenburg, 
Jolly in yellow and pink. 
I think it knows that to be square and neat
Is just as sweet. 
I see no need for its robes of glittering marzipan 
And its vanity unnerves me.
