When his head up in the air often pokes,
What we knew was it had been a hoax;
Were shocked and had so many strokes.

Orangutans are rather rare
See a flash of orange up in the air?
They feed on fruit, swinging tree to tree
Living in relational jungle harmony

Dynamics are up in the air
The load is just 'too much to bear'
We are constantly beefing
I am calling a meeting
I am running away with the fair

a licking perfectionist
shows agility with flair

Premium Member The Pigeons of Trafalgar

The pigeons of Trafalgar Square
Are feathered, yet lacking in hair.
They'd look erudite,
With wigs powdered white,
But wouldn't get up in the air.

Black Cat

The old women found a black cat
That changed into a large bat
Took her high up in the air
Then slung her by the hair
Into a machine that made her turn flat

nugatory coin tossed,
up in the air —
perpetrator hoping for
purgatory.
hell lands on his head.

Spoken Words

Divorcing soon the tongue,the words,
Marrying them the hearing ears,
Flying up in the air the words,
Swallowing like balloons,
Letting their masters to lick their wounds!

Up In the Air

Taken under
The wing of a butterfly
Soaring over trouble
Living free
Without any worries
Without any pain
Guided by the wind
Reaching the warmth of the sun
Happy to be alive

I Believe

I believe,
Her body is healed – her pain is not there
She met our Jesus; up in the air
Now, pick up those memories; deep in your heart!
It’s not the end; it’s a place to start…..

Up Tight and Tense

Up Tight and Tense

Often have gotten up tight and tense
When things never made any sense
And would end up in the air,
When with me did not share
Ideas or ever give me a few hints.

Daily Dearly Departed

Dearly Daily Departed

Would you rather be tied to a big tree
Or found up in the air floating free
Have heard a new hobby they just started
Which is daily writing poems for the dearly departed.

Australian Summer

Steel blue sky
Sun glaring down
From a cloudless sky
Baking all things
Metal brands skin
Hot wind blows
Dust up in the air
Sweat rivers down
Thoughts of sweet wintertime abound.

Premium Member What Could Go Wrong?

High up in the air, a kite - 
the wind helps it take fun flight.
All the while, the sun shines bright.
Everything seems so right.
What could possibly go wrong?
From the East, Godzilla; from the West, King Kong.

Carlos clever carnivore, courageous cosmonaut chimp
Tried twice to turn twisters, for he was an incredible imp.
Twisters tossed him toward Pluto, he went up in the air.
Whether he comes back or not, few of us gave a care.

You take your long rope of dough,
up in the air is where you throw.
Around and around and away you go.
Great skill to master is what you know.
Curiosity is killing this soul of mine.
How do you get it in strands so fine?

Words of encouragement 
Can take a person to the stratosphere 
Nothing but pure inspiration 
Rising up in the air 
Always be that mentor 
That guides our youth endlessly 
Building their character 
With vigor and energy

Premium Member One Thing Leads To Another

a random
 discourse of
curiosity
          change
             coincidence,
likes&dislikes
up in the air:

imaginary landscapes
notions of season
all structures in my mind,
my voice
           as poetry
lost for words

Premium Member My Agile Cat

The cat’s left leg is straight up in the air, behind his head.

Leans a bit to the left, and this cat’s extremely well-fed.

I had not realized he could do this magical trick,

It is completely unbelievable and excitingly slick.

Premium Member Unfair Death

Death is fast.
Severe
mean
unkind
Ruins our sense of well being

Throws us up in the air
slams us into walls
Throwing unbidden
feelings at us,

emotions which
we cannot name
There is no name
furious
unfair
unkind
severe
death

Monkeys Can'T Fly

From the corner of my eye I can see a monkey up in the air
Mischievous monkey cheering up in the air
You insist that monkeys can fly
You always see them up there
I disagree to agree, but with you I have to agree, because that is your bait.

Premium Member Afro Puffs

Anxiety when there’s rain
For I know my hair will change
Reaching umbrella in vain
Onyx hair will bounce like spring

Putting in a lot of love
Uniquely owning my Afro puffs
From hanging hair to
Freeing up in the air
Strutting my stuff

Premium Member They Made Judgements

They made judgements
Because of her size
She saw the snickers
Inside their eyes

They made judgements
Based on her hair
She saw their high fives
Way up in the air

They made judgements
Based on her age
She rolled her eyes
Being a sage
