zig-zag hiking through the wild
Bearstaff, bearstaff

When those you do treat less 
Give no chance to be depressed 
Bow not in lovely mess!...

The best wigs are on dandelions.
Zig-zag leaves can make a crown.
The lion is the yellow flower,
and it will leave behind... 
a pom-pom for a clown.

On the zig zag zenith
we will polarize
the camps between us
who don't realize
the gullible draft
of the patient soul
complacent idols
we will leave  unwhole....

Bright in colour
A glory of love
Zig-zag edges of the petals
A symbol of life-long worry of a mother
Layers of petals 
A symbol of the eternal love of a mother...

snow blankets the ground
crystal stars melt together
form a field of white 
in the silence of winter
paw prints trace a zig-zag path

                                      low constant rumble
                                 ignorant breath of the night -
                                       lightning formations...

Have you found a snake’s rattle while digging?
I did once.
I carefully covered it back up too.
As soon as I saw the zig zag of the fat one’s skin.
Thanking God I had uncovered this end rather than the other one....

Kept silenced and away from many
Under a clear glass for only him to see
Daring to jump through the clear sheet
Zig-zag his way to liberation
Atone himself from the darkness inside
Invite in the light he wants to live in...

I began to choke cough and gag
I think I let the Hot Kitty Rancid Milk out the bag
My friend approached me in anger
She should never tell such things like that to a stranger
I ran her gossip in and out of a crowd in a full zig-zag...

A corner lifted
Like today's dawn 
Bright burnt redness
The goblin smiled.

A lip curved
Like today's moon 
Cookie cut darkness
The goblin smiled.

A teeth peeped 
Like today's lightening,
Zig zag whiteness
The goblin smiled....

stir distant rumbles

  zig zag wink heat lightning's zaps--

    sheets of rain scream down

Zig-zag mountain tips lay against the sky, marigold true.
They are sleeping giants waiting for the dawn.
As golden light seeps through
The blazing sun wakes adagio with a yawn.
Sun rays begin to unrest the peaks; a new day is in spawn....

The piglet is a baby pig
As far as it appears
The wiglet is a tiny wig
That fits on tiny ears
The ziglet is a little zig
But only when it veers.

It was yesterday 
The brown grass was seen
Waking in the morn
The scene was different

Joe  Ann looked outside
A sudden change seen
The wind was blowing
The snow was dancing

Making the snow move
In a zig zag form
The snowflakes dancing
In the empty field...

We made another touchdown
Without a penalty
As children on the playground
Full of amenity

You made it to the zone
Again without a flag
We act the same when grown
In formation zig zag

Now we're at the field goal line
No fumble in our grasp
Stay inside the sideline
Three points again I gasp...

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine
Playing my body like a baby grand
Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis
Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum
Blues verses boogy woogy
An invariable blender, shaken not stirred
Keeping me up nights
Tapping my toes to the teardrops


entered for consideration in MJ's contest, "Let's get untwisted"...

Zig-Zag

Downtown or on the roadway
zig-zag searching
always for something..
Stopping at a coffeeshop 
reaching a place
seemingly removed..
An interruption in
a zig-zag map
with map forgotten..
The coffeeshop was not
a zig stop..or a zag
just momentary..a respite..
Might zig-zag dissolve
right here and now
 in this cup of coffee...?...

floating aimless 
      a zig-zag in
           a time of discovery...
were these surreal 
             moments mine

lost in thought
        was life a code
poetic thoughts 
           appear
 then fade
          seeing the world come and go
in pictures of the floating world 
this ode came floating

                          to unfold...
