Premium Member Bearable

Here comes the snow
      (Sob)... There goes my lawn
  Yogi the Bear's peeked out his cave
      Stretched ~ and yawned a big yawn


Midnight Motion

The moon yawned
  The wind roared
  The earth is fond
  of my heart that soars.
      The rivers all run
   The trees dance
   Nature as one 
   Love by chance.

Tired

There once was a poet so tired
She tried writing though quite uninspired.
	She rubbed eyes and she yawned
	‘Til it finally dawned
On her – she lacked the spark she required.

Premium Member Good night all

the sun set on the peaceful meadow
where clustered colours yawned
feigning a sleepy drowsy state
for bees and butterflies to take their leave

Premium Member Willy's Ragged Old Mop

Willy's hair looked like a ragged old mop
His loving wife told him, 'Go get it cropped!'
  He sat down in the chair
  Yawned, 'I've got hair to spare' 
Willy woke up with a shiny bald top

The sleeply Bear

A little brown bear yawned 
and crawled into his cozy
cave to sleep.
Outside, the fluffy winter
snow began to fall gently 
in the dark.
He curled up tight, dreaming 
of sweet honey until the 
spring returned.

From a 23rd Century Text

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue.

In Denial

O for a world at peace;
Heat of its rage, past.
We're nigh. Its the dusking hour.
Shadowing prey's last.

Skipping o'er battlefield facts
Unquenched in faces
Look! How tame in the moonlight
Roaring's yawned traces.

Media

This is today's news:
A sinkhole swallowed a man whole
as the earth yawned

in the ancient land
of monsoons and man-of-wars
after the waters

ceased. One was portrayed as 
man suddenly gone, captured
live for us to see.

The Honey and the Vinegar

Once I had the opportunity
For hard-earned, sweet success
But I yawned instead and spurned my chance
To labour and progress

And so my potential festered
Scorned sourly in defeat
Now I am left with vinegar
In place of honey sweet.

An Isle, Bermudian

In His great slumberous periods
Mighty yawned, wedged in between
Love taking sips, beat ardours
That haze a hummingbird scene
This awaits, shaping comforts
Voluptuous settee.
Set on its coral paws to bear
The dreamt fruits of Deity.

A Day Outside

It's nice out.
It's sunny.
Warm.
and funny.

I ran.
Have fun.
And skate.
with my mate.

We got tired.
then got hired.
to mow a lawn.
then we yawned.

We went home.
I got something to eat.
it was a treat.
then we went to sleep.

Premium Member Golden Majesty

       A wink from the sun woke me at dawn.
       I yawned, lazily stretched and smiled as
       I felt the gentle touch of his warm fingers.
       With golden majesty, he rose in the sky,
       greeting the morning with his usual flair.

Zena hailed from the Zeta Reticula star system and she
was bored with the military’s handling of her.  Day after day of
interrogations and discussions for weapons or space travel.

The Day

The day stretched and began to stir.
it yawned and made 
leaves sway.
It showered in the mist and rain, 
then dressed in clouds of gray.
It worked its way through treetops,
had lunch on a
tranquil lake  
then laid down on the forest floor,
and took a
well earned break.

Premium Member A Gilded Carriage

The adulterer and adulteress rode In a gilded carriage, while horses strode Many looked on with pride Others hated the ride Most of the world yawned in blasé mode
I had some thoughts when they said he was the leader of the Church Of England.

Premium Member The Snowy Swan

The snowy swan skates on the pond
with brilliancy and innocence.
The ice-covered platinum blonde—
the snowy swan skates on the pond.
Sun’s mellowness of groovy yawned.
The athlete’s dawn drives diligence.
One snowy swan skates on the pond
with brilliancy and innocence.

Heaven Bestows

Catherine yawned today
made no mention of the prix
she had to pay
Love is a cussing word
She did the best she could
Gonna reinvent the wheel


The swallow always knows
and the doughty willow
fades to grey
And how heaven bestows
whispers  to her flock
but we turn ourselves
into vessels of hope

And the Whispered Hmm Bites

sifting shifting streams
falling star trying to get away from the others
Neb you
lah to follow
so powerful e
motive to be a ware-we need more wares
Tiggering (as in like Pooh's Tigger)
spond
spond
get it respawned
and yawned
how many of you have died
but still i awe at your deadlight
and the whispered hmm bites

Vying Voluptuous Verge

eerie earth belched
callous creed's crest
nocturnal nature nauseated
dark dribbles cremated
hoisted hankering cruised
sassy soil puked

rusty rims yawned
puncturing pulpy pawn
tactic trend torn

bruised bark bent
mystic moaning etched
saucy seal spent

lofty lids lurched
vying voluptuous verge.

Premium Member Kitty Yawned An Inspiration

The kitty’s yawn roused me from my chair
Made me smile and want a little nap.
She stretched her body from here to there.
I said you darling, come sit in my lap.

She stuck up her nose and wandered away.
Into country air, with no bit of smog. 
The kind of cat who had her own way.
Fine, because I had a cozy nap with the dog.

Premium Member The Rave On

once up on a midnight
clearly...
while i yawned all weak
and...

barely over many a pain
too...
clear volumes from gutt'n

and while i knotted nearly
rapping...
suddenly there came a
crapping...

and a rapping at the door
"this"...
i muttered "be my chamber
only"...

and not
a...
