Premium Member Swamp Run

thick fog engulfs night
wading across fetid swamp
moon casts dim beacon
eyes of beasts monitor steps
owner's pursuing dogs howl

country morning

Travelling to your country morning
wading through the mists
birds echoes rising
off  canter horses
like tears striving

Premium Member Who Am I

I have an S-curved neck
I am a tropical bird who can stand on one foot
hot pink feathered wading bird
I eat shrimp plankton and algae
who am I?

Great Blue Heron

I must tell you this bird:
long thin legs, sharp beak
wading in a dappled stream
grayish blue,  at home in cypress
Curving skyward through Spanish Moss

Premium Member Just Wading

Last year I got into trouble; 
It was certain my digits would double!
"Eighty-seventh time!"
Meant stop, that's the line!
Now my clear upper limit's a puddle!

Aiko, My Aiko

The buffalo is wading deeply
into the mud.
Ripe is the rice.

And white.
There’s almost no wind.
Sun in circles.

Rice is the door,
quietly is rustling at ajaring...

Stork

There was a hungry saddle-billed stork,
     That went for a wading walk,
        With his long stout bill
         He caught fish at will,
   It sure made the other birds gawk.

Premium Member Photography

Phlox of purple field, Bill's
photographing hidden
Phoebe, favorite bird.
Phased by nothing else, like
Pheasant flying up, he
photographs Phoebes. Next
Phalaropes, wading birds.

Fable of Tadpole and Lily

lily bed pillowed
wading time on the pond's breath
tucked in pole's warm pool
utopia kiss unwrap
a frog soon took his flower

Premium Member Temptation

Be circumspect in
Wading into temptation
Steer clear of that danger zone
For the devil is
Always waiting to trap you
Wade not into temptation

London Rises

we're wading through 
a storm:

hate
wickedness

It straps on a bomb
It wields a knife

it knows no
race or colour

and still London
rises

my city of colours
my city of friendship
Form: Couplet

Premium Member Zen mode

drawn no more
to the game
of push and pull
we withdrew

the ebb and flow
of life’s tides
yet sometimes does
pull us in

be this as it may
wading in the waters
we do not get
our feet wet

Premium Member outsmarting dog

Dog stands in muddy wading pool
Drinking this clay-gray gruel he made
He is sitting now, immersing his body in the wetness
Knowing what he intends to do next,
I jump up and make my way to the gate

Premium Member Westward Wanderlust

Westward wanderlust,
Wagon waltzes with Winter wine,
White watercolor walleye, windy-wallop.

Wading where wafers wage war,
Where warmth wanes without warning.
Wary whispers; weather will weather, whatnot.

Premium Member Deep Inner Meaning

Hue and cry roadmap
totem sign or lachrymose 
knee-deep self compass
wading bird  of psychic lull
being is a misty quest
that oblong pointer centred
on some phantom bridge

Three Haiku

Haiku 
Wet leaf in a pond
Ants abandoning sinking ship
Shore line yonder.  


Haiku
Tsunami brewing 
A child wading in the puddle
Escaping tadpoles

Floating red plastic bucket
Eerie silence

Premium Member Whatnots

Whims flash into his mind
Wading of artist eyes
White of a blank canvas
Whatnots need to be birthed
Waving avant-garde brush
Winter spreads like icing
Wide bunny ears coax snow

Facades Fading In the Mirror

Artifice-cultivation 
Cracking pitches, up at bat
Impactful, this journey to fame
Reacting, claims to my own name
Control, my poison cup

So let go as follows
untying the knot
Wading through crystal water
Unearthed root systems 
Free, complete

Premium Member Dawn Colors In the Bay

fuchsia gold pink dawn
naturally it's beauty
sunburst in the bay
the hour of hush still rapture
melted colors drift to sea

at the verge of day
in the time of green tree songs
wading in waters
beneficent sunshine rays
in an age of spectral skies

Tail Teel Wee Booocon

I released a valve,

protective porcelain,

brought a amnesty and sought the head metal,

wading story,

through frot and even friction,

that couldn't consummate me without a direction-

the galaxy is here as we're awaiting and non creating...

Fluting

Time unleashed from ferrum 
becomes pain
like a palm moon.

A tableau vivant was gliding 
on the road.
It was a night of rage.

A frozen scene
undulates the history of fire
in the eyes of a flute.

Who was breaking
the clouds
wading in reeds ?
