Premium Member Zs having fun

zigzagging zombie zealously zeroed in on Zeke Zeller’s zinging zither
a zippy zenith to Zaria’s zesty zaniest day in Zanzibar.


Murder

Dark alley, deadly calm
Flashes of steel
'Thud'..death whispered
Silhouette melted in the night
Blood zigzagging
Dragging life to the drainage

Autumn

Autumn’s brisk colorful days,
Emanating fiery golden hues,
Intense joyful kaleidoscope leaves	
Meander noisily over people
Quietly running, surrounding them	
Unpredictable vibrant whirling 
Xeme yonder zigzagging

Premium Member Trampled

A New love is like a spray of wild horses. 
Sprinting over the plains of emotion and passion.
On a whim- zigzagging, changing direction.
A pair of manic butterflies carving the wind.

When you realize that it wasn't really love
the butterflies get trampled to death.

Premium Member Little Baby Squirrel In the Middle of the Road-

It is the same little squirrel,
 little baby squirrel,
 running down the road 
with a acorn in his mouth 
bigger than his head 
he runs in the middle of the street
 dodging the cars tail wagging 
running just zigzagging
Little baby squirrel

Night Streets

Hands move warmly,
wait.............

sillouettes talking,
silently glowing
pavement....
colors in the rain,
hesitations.........
.
minding the quiet pull
of city alleyways,

strolling........
swinging past

distant doors,
windows......

shades hanging,
the world

zigzagging

around us,

alone......
together

Misunderstanding

You came in and spilled your guts all over the house

Bully Anger

Condemns, I am weak
and react like an electric fence

zigzagging mutiny 
What for?

This stupidity has no end
Sit in silence

This is about something else
Bruised egos 

I'm trying to douse mine in flames

Leave me my freedom
I will always leave yours

Sally Martin

She saw him walk on their hats,
a bold rat swallowed by the fat man.
His screams bounce back as their windows
close with thuds that echo.
Who turns their back a child cries
zigzagging down the steet into oblivion. 
Sally Martin sits on her beggar's seat 
and listens to the bleating sheep.
Sally Martin bites her coins smiling when
they crack her teeth.

Night In Autumn

Gentle is how I want to be fed today
amidst the resplendent gold of autumn's night;
and in this wide-scope that moves ever calmly
zigzagging from left to right, 
a thousand stars encircle my senses 
that windows of my mind glitter
unto reveries of love's colored fervor.

Thunder Birds

My breath is stolen away by the flight of your wings, 
The heights I will never reach while I roam this earth.
 My fears but a speckle of dust,
 My barriers a mist, against the freedom of your silver force.
Zigzagging beyond the gravity's rules
What goes through your mind while your heart's astray?
Small like an ant, as a I gaze above, 
We will meet in the very same clouds some day.

Premium Member Cherry Blossoms


 Cherry Blossoms 
 Pink
 With smiles, Of innocence.
 flutter,
 and flutter,
 waltzing,
 with the breeze, 
 as if ?
 Dancing on a slack line,
 without Mercy, 
 Trying desperately….

 not to sneeze.
 And fall….. too soon,
 Falling, falling, zigzagging,
 Into the arms of spring.
 And as fate decrees,
 at Last surrendering…..
 To, 
 Newtons Third law.
 All Quiet on the Western Front.

Premium Member Love

Love is a leaf in the wind

Floats and blows and spins

Settles for a moment but a gust 

The gust steals it 

It settles on a lawn

But the wind snatches

Spins and flutters

Zigzagging the leaf

Till it is raked into a pile

Carried to the mulch

The leaf turns into dirt

The dirt is used to grow food

Or the leaves are raked 

And burned and the fire

Love is burnt till none

Premium Member Echo Home

Fantastically I flew
danced with clouds
zigzagging around.

Nobody could catch me
nobody could touch me
the gingerbread man...me.

Tasted some fine flower
got lost in the finest powder.
Then it was time to come down.

I grew bone canyon tired.
things caught up to me
things started touching me
The gingerbread man ran away from me.

The cocoon is calling me back
home... in echoes.
Caterpillar man.

Noon Storm In Wao

at high noon came the typhoon;
storm clouds, crisscrossed 
by zigzagging sparks of lightning,
cracked and burst 
as thunder roared
ominously.


rain gushed down in torrents
and, like furious waterfalls,
hit everything, anything below,
soaking the earth,
drenching all 
thoroughly.


after a while, it was gone;
in the fresh stillness,
wet greenery glistened in the sun,
insects frolicked free,
pleased, grateful,
delirious.

Wao Noon Storm

.

at high noon 
came the typhoon;
zigzagging sparks of lightning
crisscrosssed storm clouds
that cracked and burst 
as thunder roared
ominously.


rain gushed 
down in torrents
and, like furious waterfalls,
hit everything, anything below,
soaking the earth,
drenching all 
thoroughly.


after a while, 
it was gone;
in the fresh stillness,
wet greenery glistened in the sun,
insects frolicked free,
pleased, grateful,
delirious.

Sojourn

Cradle to casket, smiles, tears and patience
adrift on a river, in zigzagging expectations
adventures neon and chrome

A little candle snuffed, whirlwind uncertain  
familiar voice fading, behind a dark curtain
adieu night,  says moon in roam.

Death awakens...from a life of long dream
from fountain to ocean mingles a stream
sojourn ends, Welcome Home.

Premium Member Creativity In Every Corner

Bee with pink wings delight me
Blue-haired woman hand forming a vee
Orange haired unicorn named Gypsy Lee
Green eyed warrior woman filled with glee

Butterflies flirting, alive and free
Red steampunk mama dressed like Paul Klee
Indian maid with peacock on her knee
How much more whimsical can they be?

Each one drawn out and painted by me
Creativity in every corner that I see
Many faeries zigzagging in clear pattern of Z
My artistic life suits me to a tee

The Ache of Our Estate

we hoard for hearts busted by our storm
we enable the swarm caused by our norm

stability is tainted by uneven balances of change
i wonder what the central truths of ourselves can possibly arrange

you stay in your kerchief and i in my cap
for once we unwind from our zigzagging entwining, it is all pretty much a rap

when the laughter comes and the frustration and tears dissipate,
we are finally able to create the antidote to adequately cure the ache of our estate
