Snow Falls Flat
Sunshine in a snowy sky
Makes the season rather wry
Freeze or fry
Live or die
Snowflakes land without a sigh...

Wild West wind wanders
Weeping willow whispers well;

WRY
Her answer was sarcastically wry
The look she gave out made me cry
Something so simple, went so wrong
I started to toot my own horn
Her eyes rolling made me sigh

ruddy trawlers creak 
as fire strummed whitecaps compose- 
seagulls lock their wings 
sage eyes, pursed in wry wrinkles 
squint toward salt misted shards 

 syllables 5-7-5-7-7...

quick sight… caught
a creamy, frothy tail
skulking behind bins
caramel
this creeping tod 
wry trickery, claw
prowl and sly, brazen
he's getting too brave
soon…

A Die Hard Holiday

John McClane, a cop tough and wry, 
Found his vacation plans awry. 
With bare feet and gun, 
He yelled, "Yippee-ki-yay, son!" 
"These terrorists," he sighed, "make me cry!"

Witch
Which way does the spell go? 
Where does her fury go? 
Wry face and fuming heart
Wilted meadow we see
Witching hour saddles her
Waiting to cast the spell
Walking on mystic lanes

Premium Member A Gift From Heaven
    Wavering evanescent, 

  Olden moonlit pearls, woven 

    Golden tresses, successes,

  Fleeting across wry sky, 

    Into undraped landscape 

  In gay favor, their final stay.

      'twixt & 
 between 
anarchic 
        asides 
pricking 
balloons :
so easy 
    on the eye 
wry smiles 
otherness 
    observed 
held on ...

the perfect..

Premium Member Whitney 2 - Faux Distance
I wander
        In barbed circles
          Seeking grace
         In faux distance-
           Looking back
          In wry dismay… 
My baggage has followed me
