Premium Member Waiting For My Girlfriend

My girlfriend decides what to wear
The dress she wore had a tear
She ran up the stairs
To change into something ordinaire
For the country fair

Love Those Who Abound

Love Those Who Abound

We always love those who abound;
All over each place as well as around;
Up the stairs;
Sitting in chairs;
Not seeing them caused me to frown.

Premium Member Reflections of Orange Sunshine

A pair of pears,stare up the stairs
Watching hair, grow on the hare

The city Mayor rides on his mare
But stops to pay his fair, fare

I see the fleas; into the sea flee 
Leaving much to the Imagination
Form: Rhyme

Understanding Women

I know now what a woman wants; she wants me to carry her up the stairs, throw her down onto the bed, then go and do the all of the laundry and the washing up while she has a few hours rest

Premium Member Phobia

you always notice black marks on the floor
checking, in case they scurried with evilness
but don’t look at me, no no no, I double-took 
earlier and to be honest I’d rather carry the 
village church up the stairs wearing flip flops


The Key To Okay

Compost, understanding nothing of the depth beneath. It
may be not understanding the words spoken to it.
Unless the subject does something to make it disappear, walking up the stairs.
Feeling no pain, and not trying very hard. I saw myself stanning at myself.

At Night

this is the moment after the loss,
the garden as heavy as a standing horse,
as a frozen moon hangs like a buoy at ebb

north is the direction of winter,
a stripped.down world before the crawl

i hear your letting down of the shutters,
your steps tired up the stairs

Premium Member Their Voices

As
I lay
in bed those
hot humid nights,
I'd hear my sisters
whispering and laughing,
but quietly; otherwise,
Dad would yell up the stairs at us:
"BE QUIET, girls!" On and on we went
till we grew tired. How I miss their voices!

Another Scary Story

You make your move
Up the stairs
a cool breeze
Makes you flare

You shiver
like a duck on a river

You stay still
Stoned for death
White as a ghost
Fleet like a pest

You race
Like a cow flowing on the upper side of space

You make your move
Down the stairs
A cool breeze
Leaves the air

The Angel's Touch

Refreshing breeze singes, 
The outside air. 
A Nightly freeze, 
Walks softly-up the stairs. 

Singing softly to ones self, 
Pitter-patter of filth 
Deem less, sac-religious 
Prosthetic knees, 
Deemed unworthy on a shelf, 
Wrought so deeply, mind in guilt 
Seeming outrageous, 
Yet, soft as silk.
Form:

Rupture

She hurry's through the darkened door
Alone in the hall, she begs for more
Fast up the stairs, black and old
Wondering where the light will unfold
The rooms fall beneath her, crumbling as one
Instantly, the house is undone
As white noise sings to the sunless structure
She holds her heart, and feels it rupture

The Man In Red

Christmas Eve
It’s time for bed
Listen for the sleigh bells
Of the man in red

Cookies and milk
By the fire place
Excitement beams
From each child’s face

Up the stairs
And fast asleep
Close those eyes
You mustn’t peep

Then when you wake
You will see
Sweets and toys galore
To fill you with glee

Premium Member A Real Lunatic

WILL THE REEL* TEDDY PLEASE STAND UP John Alexander acts a Roosevelt - Teddy. Bugle calls him up the stairs, steady. With great veracity and a capacity to frame - his character as a lunatic or a hero, just the same. 6/13/2017 Clerihew Form

Premium Member Leaves On My Front Porch

During Autumn months Leaves flow onto the front porch Red and orange leaves Those brown ones hang on the trees Cool crisp air carries them up They twist, twirl around Working their way up the stairs Floating in the breeze Making statement of delight Grand sight, spectacular show

Premium Member In Seclusion

Here I am standing by my window. I gaze at the rest of the world just below. Cloistered in my bedroom up the stairs, I am filled with numerous concerns and cares. Do I dare to venture into the world around? Not today; in seclusion is where I will be found. inspired by another member's poem

Anike

Anike! oh! ao she cares! 
Howshe makes me always wanna stand and stare!
 the thought of her, it drys away my tears
takes away the fears
 and infuses the freshness of the air.
 though she came from the rear,
 her kinda love puts things in gear,
 worked her up the stairs 
and puts her in others glare. 
waoh! what a wonderful pair!
Form: ABC

Not Today

She contemplates the single date 
which holds her from the edge

The knife is willing for the killing
but her birth date is soon to come

She couldnt forget, lost was the threat
She dropped her head in defeat

Slips the knife in the drawer
and walks slowly up the stairs

Not tonight not tomorrow 
Death shall not walk these halls
Form:

Upstairs

Hush
a murmur -
a burst of mirth - you laugh.
A giggly boy or two; the
drone of you
mixed with monkey's bonding squeals
slide up the stairs; on polished
paternal air.
Then a deep man's voice where
once a boy's ascended - mellow with
early manhood. Resonating;
capitulating - exclaims agreement.
And I see through gauze
made murky by time
us five - woven
warmly -

My Shameful Journey

This has been a long journey for me
On this path to righteousness you see
I've encountered the good
And tangled with bad.

Where do I go from here you say ?

I must continue my journey
for salvation my friend
I must continue my journey
for salvation is not free.

To go up the stairs
my heart must be pure
If it is not
I must enter the other door.

Ah-Choo

Sometimes, as you shoot the breeze,
You’ll be startled by a sneeze.
Even walking up the stairs,
It can catch you unawares.

With no allergies or colds,
Sneezing often still unfolds.
It may happen for no reason;
Some lay blame upon the season.

Sneezes serve to help remind us
That the forces which designed us
Left some mysteries to tease,
One of which must be the sneeze.

My Way of Life

My way of life...
Is just down the block
Around the corner
Across the street
Through the park
Across the bridge
Down the sidewalk
Through the tunnel
Across the road
Past the donut shop
Into the red door
Down the hall
Up the stairs
Two doors down
Into the doorway
Past the bed
By the window
On the desk
Under the book
Is a pen and paper
My way of life...

To Veera-My Puppy

My eyes search under the table

And rove behind the chair

They flick over the cot

And into the cupboard peer.

 

They climb up the stairs

Leading to attic dark

Are you there some where?

In the corner crouching, they ask

 

Do not stay away from my sight

For too long O little one

For your absence frightens me

And my peace of mind is undone

A Visitor At Midnight

Middle of the night
someone's in the house.
Can’t be the wife

asleep next to you.
She'll be mad
when she finds out

you broke your word
and bought that pistol
under the mattress.

Hope she doesn't
hear you cock it.
Bad enough when

whoever's creeping  
up the stairs  
opens the door.

Junior never mentioned
his two-week leave 
from Afghanistan. 


Donal Mahoney

Fate

She spoke to me today.

Her maudlin phrases poured out of her like liquor. 

Her cup half empty, and her eyes half closed, she wept.

For the knowledge of her faults and her flaws, for the knowledge that I notice.

How her tenuous form can barely make it up the stairs,

Or how her empty stomach doesn't growl anymore.

How all she is is sleep and wake.

Who’s fault is it?

Forget

Forget
           
                  Eyes stinging,
                  rushing up the stairs

                  Throwing myself onto the bed,
                  Picking up the one thing that's safe.
              
                  Listening to troubles, not my own,
                  the fantasies that do not belong to me.

                                      And I am able to forget.
