full moon and
    loch's water laps gently;
    drunk zigzags home...

with the leather back and forth 
down the wooden field....

thunder clouds peak

     and lightning zigzags - 
     
     perspiration trickles...

thunder rolls reverberate
cloudburst drums rooftops

purple specks amidst the green - 
                                                clover zigzags across the summer scene...

Only he has the
                  right targeting
                   in heels and
                   in the zigzags
                  of life, not men....

A beautiful chameleon doesn't ever find good hue identity. Just keeping leaf marks, not only... Petals quickly read some twilighting under vast waterfalls.
X-raying yellow zigzags....

He dives into a liquor bottle, and
Zigzags like a snake on the sand.
A wife waits for her hero,
But who comes as a zero.
Obscenities ooze from his ‘stupor gland’.

zigzags into the restroom...
projectile vomits

Dear sweet baby
how old you become no matter
I’ll always be holding 
your hand very tenderly
as I held it on the auspicious day 
that you were born
but when I grow old
will you hold my hand tenderly
for crossing the zigzags 
of old age life of your Dad

It's fast and it moves
It rides the wind like waves
Their feathers sheer the sky
A moving amalgamation 

Natures hive-mind
Dominates the aerospace
The everchanging form
An orchestra of grace

But not the dischordant flutterer
Who zigzags in its pace
The off bird in aerospace...

Pot plants on white tiles
arranged in zigzags.
If I skimmed my eyes,
they made me dizzy.

In them, geraniums
from mum's shop,
and Daz arranged them
fancy style.

I loved those little pots,
and in the morning,
when Daz had taken out the flowers,
the pots still made me stare.

The zoo zebra had zero zest for his zombie like zoo life
But, was very zealous to zone out and count his zany stripes
Appearing to be very Zen to visitors passing by

At his zenith, he would zoom free upon the plains
Now he just zigzags around his tiny pen
Looking for zucchini snacks the zookeeper left for him...

Yellow butterfly zigzags recklessly
into the garden, alighting briefly on marigolds.
Ugly crying bird sound screeches an alarm.
Pretty wind chimes clanging in the wind.

Was it really eighty-two degrees today?
Certainly warm for May first in Kansas.
Fine and happy May Day to you not in person but on Zoom.
I would like to see all of you again in person, and I mean soon!...

swallows dip and dive
zigzags across azure skies ...
summer has arrived

We delivered shopping to our elderly friends and due to  slight changes in lock down we sat in the garden with a cup of tea and had a proper conversation for the first time in about 8 weeks (2m rule applying) I spied 2 swallows dipping and diving across the sky, it was a wonderful sight I wanted to share.

My closet is filled with beautiful clothes
Blouses in pinks, oranges, blues
Dresses in turquoises, golds, silvers
Fluffy fake fur coats in black, white and gray
I adore colors, patterns and textures.
Loving paisleys, zigzags, multi-patterned clothes
Not as fond of polka dots or stripes
Too symmetrical
I prefer clothing that looks like it was designed by
Klee, Miro and Dali
I am an artist; it is in my nature to be lop-sided....

thunder rolls in the distance
lightning zigzags in the evening sky
soon rain will beat down in torrents
from the low clouds on the horizon

baby, come kiss and embrace me
let's make love as we ride out this storm
let all of this mounting passion
match the energy going on outdoors

let's light a couple of candles
and dance in their flickering light
while you whisper to me a sweet love song
and the storm burns out in the night...

So symmetrical, so picturesque, 
Christmas gifts wrapped so tightly, 
Spots, stars, squares and zigzags, 
Placed throughout the whole covering. 

Even pictures of Christmas trees, 
Santa, snowdrops, sleighs, singers, 
Mistletoe, angels, stockings, bells,
Snowmen, reindeer, stars, robins. 

Ribbons for the love and attention, 
Invested in your gift to invigorate, 
That you can untie quite simply, 
Remembering this was a free gesture....

A mind so small
But it holds it all
Could be a ball
Don’t you dare
Ease the
Fall
Gaze down the
Hall
Inform the
Judge that 
Knuckles are hitting the concrete
Loud
More than two or four
No one knows the number for sure
Open the door
Palliative measures must be taken for
Quantitative pain, that is coming down just like
Rain, rain, rain
Sizzles as the same sound of a
Train
Unadulterated
Vociferous
Whistle
Xeroxes pages white and
Yellow.  The 
Zigzags of life’s travels...
