Snap, Crackle, Pop
Just two more hours till the Royal Ball
Alas, this zit wouldn't fade at all
Since no ointment would ease
I just gave it a squeeze
It crackled, then it spackled the wall
I knew soon that company would call
But how to hide that goop on the wall
Left no clues with my clothes
Wiped the ooze from my nose
Looks like

brave ant marches forward

dog jumps up
tries to snap it in his mouth

Kaleidoscopic Snap
With life’s motif mélange
time wheel turns in last lap.
Dreams’ scenic spectrum shifts,
spins captured in mind’s trap,
framed as timeless trance in
kaleidoscopic snap.

Peas In A Pod
I'm not like you
you're not like me
on that
you and I
we can agree
but
strange to say
and there's no mystique
Snap!
we're really all the same
in that...
we are all unique!

The sharp snap of branches masked the bark of distant dogs
A stolen life. A split-second decision.
Disorganised thoughts, jumbled—
Tangled around an anaesthetised cortex.
Clocks mockingly ticking,
Ticking down inevitability,
As a lone fly buzzes relentlessly around my head.
Swatting at it—it returns mere moments later,
Pestering, always just out of reach,
Festering like a wound reopening, oozing with persistence.
As the slant of the harvest moon traverses its way through splinters in the

With the snap of my fingers
suddenly i felt
a burst of warmth
as if liberated
i had the wings to fly
entwined as one
in perfect harmony
together in synchronicity
with the universe

Dry Logs Redden and Snap;
Dry logs redden and snap;
The fire is soon impressive.
The wolf moon takes better shape
As night begins to settle in.
I watch the conflagration spike;
A spark flies off, then others
Like the universe had coaxed them
To become one of the stars.

Snap into Me a song
[Verse]
He snaps into me
in all the right ways
in all the right places
that magic phrase
he completes me
says what I am feeling
Excites my breathing
gets me worked up and on fire
lights up my hearts desire
How could he walk away?
how could he leave that way?
Our love now in memories
never fully realized
And now I am left with a half open

Snap Trap
It’s not for lack of intelligence
My inhibitor is on the fritz
A frontal lobe phenomena
I’m prone to gaffes and fits
My amygdalae are loaded
A hair trigger set to snap
Sometimes words escape me
Like rats outsmarting a trap

Mother Snap
As I pivot to confront my offspring, I anticipate the sight of terror etched in their innocent eyes, a reflected horror that would mirror the abyssal darkness that has long resided within me.
Instead, I am greeted by vacant gazes and uncanny grins, a chilling, mimicry of innocence that belies the sinister, nascent awareness that has

Lost Track of a Ginger Snap
Get in your room now,” as daddy fashioned a gun.
Mom grabbed me and her facial expression was undone,
something must be wrong,
I ask she looked at me and welts started to run,
down we hunkered under the bed hidden by overhanging covers.
A howl and a crash with two gunshots and I gasped,
fathers voice had me took aback,
he

Snap of the past forgotten
Snap of The Past Forgotten
A fragile snapshot trapped in time,
A smile etched deep within my mind,
One moment captured, yet so profound,
An image shared, yet now all alone.
As memories fade like morning dew,
What once seemed clear becomes a blur,
And through we yearn for those golden days,
We hold onto love, through it may pass away.
Thus speaks

Oh, Snap!
I bought a winter coat today;
It didn’t have a tag,
But when I asked the price, it was
A bargain I could snag.
It fit me to a T, although
Another coat in black
Is something that I do not need,
Though I could take it back.
I tried it on again at home;
My husband gave the nod,
Yet in the pocket was

String
Do you feel the chaotic concerto?
The cloaked and clandestine composer
Plucking at the ivory keys, exactly eighty eight
With even more ways to tangle those
Countless red strings of taut linear fate.
To be a being, we first must begin
To begin, we must be born, then torn
From the lively, slick, loud, and slimy link
Of mother’s umbilical cord, now
Cut.
Cartwheel your
