The Hefner Prophecy

Men are attracted
To all that jiggles
But ladies prefer
Something that wriggles
So critics extolled
Exquisite squiggles
And God collapsed
In a fit of giggles!

ears wiggle
       fingers waggle
     girls giggle
       customers haggle

     curlicues squiggle
       snail-pack straggles
     belly-fat wriggles ~
       survivors bedraggled

Untitled #37 / a Hair

A hair crawls into yr life like a
snake, it wriggles in front, maddening
Grab it! And now it sticks! Let go!
Sweaty palm ruboff float
down to the checkered concrete floor
gone and forgotten.

To Japan

In the place of the rising sun
Where fasts break on sushi
And the sumo's size a delight

The earth wriggles – wets our kimonos
Took stuffs up to origami
And dampens muses for haiku

As the sunrise 
We are in Nippon 
Together!

The Depths

A mucky puddle
still holds the reflected night.
Two maundering starlings
peck at the dark pool
as if fishing.
One worm wriggles up,
the birds don't seem inclined
to eat it
one bubble in the puddle
surfaces -
I sense a kraken.


Premium Member A New Restaurant In Town

Spider soup, come take a taste.
She tickles and wriggles,
 and adds fluff to your face.

Mosquito mousse.
Dive in, but beware.
She will sting you, 
Without a thought or a care.

Grasshopper gravy.
The legs are easily seen.
My first day of cooking.
It is pretty keen.

Days Kiss Him Bye

A joyful grandfather I have
he tells tales, sagas, epics
sings song of youth and dances
in joyful rhythm he wriggles
he wishes to rewind backward
the traditional clock
but it is mission impossible
days kiss him bye and bye
every day every moment
is a bye gone matter
unrecoverable

Sounds Squirm Up

Rain-steps publish worms, wriggles scribe themselves. The thrown thud of a newspaper punctuates the wet and written. Sparrows scrawl and scrabble, foraging starlings attack the earth sounds squirm up, muddy scripts are picked at, edited a door slams, the ground rewrites itself.

Hush

ODE TO KLONOPIN

CALMNESS
RUSHES THROUGH ME
SERENITY FLOWS
REACHING
FEELING ITS WAY
INTO MY BONES
FINTERTIPS
TINGLE
PERMA SMILE
CHESHIRE CAT
WITH BEDROOM EYES
SERENITY GLOWS
IN MY VEINS
WRIGGLES AMD TICKLES
ITS WAY 
TO THE HEART OF ME
SLIDES DOWN
INTO THE DEPTHS
I'M WARM AND FREE.

A Detached Tail

A 
house
lizard’s
detached
tail 
wriggles. 
Flavor 
of
parting
is
pain.
To 
sacrifice
a part
to 
save
the
rest
is 
sagacity.
A
soul
needs
neither
fair
nor
the
whole
body.
The 
tail’s
pizzazz 
and 
warmth
vanish
in
stillness.
Even
a
piece
of  
flesh
is
stinky
without
soul.

Trapped in a Tableau - Nette Onclaud 3-23-26
A Time Warp is a distortion of time or a Line Dance from the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Time-Warp Tableau

Trapped in a time warp
Jostled left then right
Wriggles and wiggles
Spun in a circle
Minutes distorted
No way to escape
Form: Verse

Beach

The sky cries softly into the sea
Muslin mist offers comfort to the waves
Tide ebbs and sways like a returning lover
The sun playfully dips its chin 
to ease its unquenched heat
and insect sand wriggles between naked feet
The skipping stone with lessing effort kisses
liquid mirror
The land and water gentle and eternal
hold hands in hope
but always soon must part

Premium Member Truth as Worm

The worm of truth shimmers 
Wriggles evasively
Hides inexplicably 
In among sentences.

Seems to withdraw from 
Honest inquiry 
Dates of expiry 
Desperate pleas.

We wish it Godspeed 
As reason it chases
In the strangest of places 
Where trust fears to follow. 

A worm for a snake 
Is an easy mistake.
Here's hoping deception 
Won't impede truth's reception!

A Charmed Worm

Sigh I high, a busy, burning furnace,
scrolling lines with aching, grieving woes;
she, a charmed worm, wriggles, snorts,
while floating on a fluffy, velvety cloud.

Premium Member Write of Passage New Birth

From tumultuous discussions within
images strive for life as a new-born 
child wriggles from the womb.First
an outline,then in silhouette,each 
unique line,a perceptible signature,so
individual and more personal than
a diary.This spontaneity impetuously
releases the extrovert upon this page,
squeezed out as rain in an arid world.
Artistic inspiration writes itself, as
I merely provide  the pen

Escape Boy

My grandson’s discovered Houdini;
He loves to get trapped and escape.
His grandpa knows just how to trap him
‘Til he wriggles free with not a scrape.

I wonder if Harry Houdini
Had a grandpa who’d tickle and tease,
Causing giggles and shouts of enjoyment
With every snuggle and squeeze.

If he did, maybe we’d not have heard of
The most famous escapist of all
For the fun’s being trapped, not escaping,
If you have a fun grandpa on call!

A Natural Lady

I like hamburgs and hotdogs.
I even like a brat.
At cookouts it don't matter...
Just cook up what you've got.

I don't mind getting dirty.
My shoes won't stay on long.
Don't let me see you cover your ears
while I sing my favorite song.

I like to fish with live bait.
I just prefer the worms.
You'll never hear me hollar
when it wriggles and it squirms.

I'm just a natural lady.
I live with mother earth.
My family says I'm normal...
for what their opinion's worth!
