Dandelions Aglow

Here's a field that glows as gold
upwards to a sky of cloud,
like a tablecloth unrolled
for feasting bees buzzing loud.

Premium Member Mischievous Cat

Sitting patiently in the hall
waiting to be alone
circling the doorway
seeing the white ball
asking to be unrolled!
I think I'll make a mess today
and ignore all I've been told
Silly humans! Without it
their litterbox floor is cold!

Premium Member A Rebirth

Scarlet velvet upon A carpet of green, Lovely roses have smiled and Unrolled their plumes; A spring garden party Has begun; Floribunda style. Bluebells bow to Welcome the sun While birds sing In celebration; A rebirth for Thawed eyes to Witness.

Premium Member The Executive's Tie

A tie may symbolize
A man's privilege
Solemness
Formality
Keep your body and head straight
Or the tie will bend
And look akwardly ugly
Keep your body and head straight
And let the tie unrolled straight and flat
Symbolizing a sense of self-confidence
And an outstanding authority


Tiempo Profundo

 to my son, Tito 


A handful of sand in the angel's palm,
how often you strummed and sifted the metaphor 
of Long Beach (since you were four and rolled 
and unrolled and jotted down the specks of time 
as if you knew what was behind the flimsy skies
that threw your quantum song asunder).

Premium Member FORTUITOUS FIREFLY

I followed a firefly  
that winked at me like it knew a secret  
and drifted toward the crooked woods.  

A mossy path unrolled itself,  
inviting my hesitant footsteps  
as if it had been waiting all along.  

At the clearing’s heart,  
a tiny door glimmered in a tree~  
and when I knocked, it opened.  

Some luck arrives wearing magic.

Premium Member Cozy Porch Kitten

The day was warm for November, almost seventy degrees. The cat unrolled her length 
to glean the most sunlight possible.  An opossum came up to drink the cat’s water, but the
cat was wise, not uttering a sound, understanding opossums do not usually appear in the day time.

Andalusian Song

It was cooler on the veranda.
Below us a guitar translated the dark.
Orchids unrolled their purple tongues
to arbor moonlight.
We had quarreled earlier,
now I lowered my head in your lap.
Someone was singing about the sea;
the way the sea cries for the kiss of the shore,
how the sand runs to be drowned -
we both understood.
You went to lie on the bed.
Later, sangria washed salt from our lips.

Weal

When the humid breath of spring crowned this place
Two darlings buds blossomed in one.
Lines of years unrolled with eagle mighty wings apace
Through toothed seasons, many delightful adventures won.

Once his hands landed on heaped treasure
With king like mien, he dropped with empty care
Who flooded his bosom with amorous pleasure.
With king like rue he wails, "bulk treasure brims no heart anywhere."

Premium Member Elation - 7 Letter Acrostic

E ach pebbled path awaits the fall mum without momentum
L anguishing until the fall of foot brings them a pace.
A ll static objects seek the joy, the soulful strum 
T hat gives to some and uncommon sense of face
I dling not within the static shell, the unnoticed place.
O nly movement brings the eye, the heart to hold, the rise
N o stone unrolled can bring an accolade to such as I.

Premium Member Bluebell Woods

Where hazel bushes mix with sturdy oaks
and beech trees densely grow in shades of green
the fairy flowers come in early spring
attired in clothes of violet-blue sheen.
The swathes of bluebells, like a sheet unrolled
before our eyes, breathtaking to behold!

Desire


Desire sometimes to go back to my engineering college days,
Desire sometimes to go back to my junior college days,
Desire sometimes to go back to my school days,
Desire sometimes to go back to my junior  childhood days,
But......
Damn I Desire to go back into the precious place..My MOTHER'S WOMB..
It is the only SAFE PLACE left..No other dare to touch..



P.s. The mindset of hopeless creatures sucks.. Don't know when the looped laws gets unrolled?

As I Ponder Part 1

As I Ponder

As I ponder what I am doing next
All the while I sit at the end of a dirt road
     I wonder
will it be Faster going out
than it was coming in
     Sometimes it doesn’t matter
     Time is not in our control
I will
   wait patiently to see the events unroll 

Waiting is fine if you want to be safe
but being the event to be unrolled
   is better
You learn nothing is you do not 
     make mistakes
No one experiences anything waiting on the punchline

Missing Morning

Summoned obscurely by the orange, tinny glare
the sun-struck promised afternoon an amulet to wear
With wild indignation we unrolled our weary lids
as we stretched and writhed our way beyond the fringes of our beds.
We passed by coffee temptings and we headed straight to lunch
With crinkled hair, no savoire fare, we kept our back bones staunch
There's always a pit in the stomach when you break out of bed at noon
The infernal plight of the night owl - the morning comes too soon...

Premium Member The Unbecoming

She unrolled her thick dark mane
silver streaks highlighted it
the wind tossed it in disarray
while she beat her chest in aghast
the sound of which could be heard far and wide
the tears came down relentlessly
creating rivers that had no shores
she took all of her possessions
which she had sowed and left debris in her wake
This was an awakening not to be taken lightly
for she knew the switch lay at her finger tips
Her heart was being ripped out
but no one could take her soul.

In and Out

If you want to help defeat
Summer's brutal blasts of heat,
Do what experts say you oughter,
Guzzle lots and lots of water.

I imbibe so much each day,
Likely more that what I weigh,
That, while it's preventing thirst,
Part of me's about to burst.

Bladders only hold so much
And when certain muscles clutch,
There must be a quick release
If you want to have some peace.

My advice when heat's unrolled:
Drink as much as you can hold;
But be sure you always know
The nearest place where you can go!
