Nine Lines Striking a Pose

What nonet flaunts its lovely derrière?
Then sings with sweet, buttermilk sound—
with shape fully self-aware,
in nine lines? Ass firm, round,
curvaceous with flare:
and so high, bound
for beach wear,
and found,
here?

Striking the Embers Burning Hot

Fear you're trapped in the lie 
begging to believe anything other 
afraid of the truth shutting down opposition 
Whatever articles you have swallowed lacks manners 
wallowing in muck disturbed by correction seeking pity 
to rise above such human weakness forgiving error 
Acknowledge the fault of your own downfall 
wrong will never be right answering the

Lightning Striking the Same Place Twice

striking 

strikes twice? 
no dice 

same place? 
don't brace 

perchance? 
fat chance 

no way,

Everyone Is Out Striking For Better Pay

Sorry your kids can't come into
school today

As all the teachers are out on strike
wanting better pay

So are the doctor's and nurses and
paramedics as well

If you are sadly unfortunately feeling
unwell or have any form or other of
medical emergency or have an untimely
fall

As they also want a fairer living wage
to take home at the end of the

Striking Striking the Only Way

People know the costs sky high.' In France and Britian
By and by.' 35% at least we've swallowed so far; no
Such qualms in the plan-demic, to get cash in the jar.'
Your footsloggers gov. You trundled them out with
Saucepans banging roundabout.' Was that an occult?
Nod? Owning their spirits, touting your clout.? We've
Seen it all the lies heaping

Striking Out Against the Moon

I want to see your eyes
I want to know what it's like to hold your hands
I want to see the wrinkles around your eyes
I want to kiss your temples
I want to know what it's like to run my hands through your hair
I want you to lay your head on my shoulder
I want you to lay

Striking Sight

                      red start fluttering in yard
                         

Prairie Storm

“Prairie Storm”

The air turned
Deadly still,
The trees no 
Longer swayed,
The horses neighed, 
The church bells rang

Rabbits ran 
For their caves.
Old men rushed
To close their doors.

Storm on the Rise!
Storm on the Rise!
Twister but a mile!
Be here in a while!

Hurry, grab the kids  
To the cellar quick. 
We haven’t the time 
To worry.
It’s coming with a fury

The Snow That May Not Fall Upon

Striking
Shocked
Stunted
The Tsunami came as a dream 
And gone like a nightmare
Never to be forgotten by some
But lives have to go on 
It is snow that may not fall upon
And will soon be lost in memories
Of the next generation

I Will Soar

If I were a birdie,
I'd head up to the sky.
I'd spread my wings like sunshine.
I know I could fly mighty high!

If I were a birdie,
my feathers would be bright.
Every color would be striking.
I'd soar and reach new heights.

If I were a birdie,
I'd sing a lovely song.
Everyone would stop and listen;
they would begin to sing along.

Dining With Dysfunction

Mother asked her big brother to pass the sugar;

big brother ruined it by splashing on liquor;

father rued spilt liquor by throwing his jigger

that hit sister who lit an elbow hard slammer

straight into the hand of their rare guest and butcher;

butcher stood to secure a full-face slap on her;

slap missed, striking their napping, fat cat to

Striking Pendulums

People made clocks 
Pendulums 
To strike like their hearts 
To live wall clocks 

People made clocks 
Pendulums 
Not striking 
Even to live clocks

Pendulums of people 
Not live like clocks 
Without striking

Striking Image Catnap

Dream 
sweet plumes
of turquoise
moonstone canvass 
as purple cloudburst choirs ear worm skylines
or blue-tailed godwits nail scrape rose quartz mounds
jack-o'-lantern
usher peeps
at closed
eyes
