Sunset
The golden hope
Of brighter tomorrow
Slides into the salty ocean
No steam or bubbles
Just the crimson joy of the clouds
Escorting
With their shifting ochre tones
While fiery orange irradiates
The grateful atmosphere
Until slowly
Ever so slowly
Into the ripples of the horizon's haze
The queen of the daylight
Slinks
Then is gone
Her wispy train of colour
Vanishing
As the blue king of the night
Claims his

My Cat Slinky
He makes himself at home daily as he slinks through the house.
He slinks so stealthily, he can sneak up on man, woman and mouse.
He almost always slinks to the mailbox and gives the mail man a scare.
Dogs in the neighborhood are fearful of him, he has a menacing stare.
My wife had to be accepted by

Slinky
It slunk downstairs as we all watched,
Delighted and amazed.
Of course, it couldn't climb back up
But none of us were fazed.
'Cause it was also fun to see it
Puddle hand to hand,
The back and forth so cool, though why
I still don't understand.
They still sell Slinkys in the stores
But silver is passe.
They're plastic now and every color's
There in

Slinky Spirals
A helical "Slinky" type coil
Compresses or springs without toil,
It’s spiral at times,
Or stretched to the nines...
Like worms that are happy in soil!
Beneath or on top of the ground,
They stretch, but so often lie wound,
Their tunnels air earth
To make healthy dirt
And seedlings are glad they’re around!

Like a Slinky
I walk to the edge of the platform
Looking far
Down the descending steps
Knowing the bottom is somewhere out there
And without thinking too much
Move outward
My black right shoe
Goes forward and down
Followed by the right cuff
Of my black twill tweed trousers
Leading the rest of me
Like a slinky
My right hand
Grasps the right handrail
For some sense of
