Stripes of Night
With claws like daggers, sharp and keen, the tiger moves a silent machine. Its strength unmatched, a force of might, a hunter born in the fading light. With senses keen, it hears the faintest sound, a whisper of wind on the parched ground. A burst of speed, a blur of orange fire, the tiger strikes, fulfilling its desire. ...

Premium Member Light Some Stripey Candles
Light Some Stripey Candles Light some stripey candles, Brew a chocolate hot. Dress in a festive sweater, Sit in a cosy spot. Watch the fire glowing, Count gifts around the pine. Admire the sparking baubles, Take sips of dark mulled wine. Put on your favourite carols, Relax as music flows. Enjoy the calm warmth spreading, Forget your daily woes. Enjoy a sense of drifting, Eyes closed and thoughts sublime. Let...

The stripes that pointed down
That, her much-pied stripes pointed down Scarce be why Tories lost their crown, Or alter way around, Easy it scarce be found, Perhaps a frown was on him who was brown— A hint, to all of us May look atrocious, Inviting our very own frown. ____________________________________ Happenings |03.07.2024| Poet’s note: The Tories have lost and lost heavily in UK. Experts may point at a...

Premium Member bee shows off blue stripes
Bee came by to show off her blue stripes It’s a process invented by Gnome Putty McRipes. Is it costly? Asked his favorite faerie friend. Would be if you don’t have extra money to spend. She tried to get the bee to tell her the price. I’ll tell the lily, she said, if you rename me Fanny Brice. This seemed weird...

Premium Member Echoes in Stripes
Sterile white, a tomb of cold embrace, The PET machine hums, a watchful space. Gauze-thin gown, a whisper on my skin, Vulnerability etched, lets fear creep in. Striped pyjamas, loose and pale they fall, There is a jarring contrast in this sterile hall. No comfort's touch, but memory's sting, Of countless souls, where suffering did cling. Bruno's whispers paint a tragic scene, A boy...

My Garden Dahlias
They make me wonder--- What fingers wove the tapestry of their being! The splash of violet here, mauve there, white with red stripes— They stand tall and do not bend till the wind forces them to. Though soft, they manifest dignity. When stress and depression shoot their thorns, A glimpse of these beauties spell discipline. ‘We are of the earth and...

Stars on stripes, tap dancing across, with cane in hand and ballroom hat. Vote will be in soon. Smiling - as it’s not a mystery to the King on the throne. He’s always completely in control. This is the same King who brings dry bones back to life. He’s all about life and love, peace and truth. our part is to vote. What a privilege! one last...

The Stars and Stripes
After 9/11, flags Were proudly on display To show the world we stood together In the U.S.A. Such a rare attack at home United every side, So stars and stripes were flown To show defiance, strength and pride. Yet now that symbol has become An icon of the right And seeing flags on people’s homes Makes me a bit uptight. It’s sad to know the...

Premium Member Stars and Bloody Stripes
Raise your gaze and mind to the flag, And there see all that we bear to this land – A looking glass it is of our hopes and deeds. Stars and stripes are all I ever see: Stars that make my heart hop with glee And stripes, bloody stripes, that make it drop. Some stripes are the lash marks of...

Starsandstripes
STARS & STRIPES I know the Treasures held by the snow I know pleasures unknown And the measure of the shadows below. They said Look what you've become. Red, I replied I know. I've grown numb. More dead than when I was young. Who can control when I explode? I know the warmth of the Hot Springs in Old Mexico. And the endless...

Stripes On the Neck
A crow swallows a biscuit piece at window Mops its mouth with mango twigs First sunlight enters room Sketching stripes on your neck Deep down inside A four inches long plant in a small glass pot turning violet _ a rivulet No I won't disturb the sunlight crayons in delight Rather let me bring out the camera...

Parallel colors go on forever, others swirling and merging, Hued rainbows and smoky sunsets, from a chaos surging! Hanging from the Christmas tree, ruby peppermint candy, And circus clowns entertain us, attired so gaily and badly. Often seen on animals, birds, leaves and even mountains, Coloring all the days of our lives, from mystical fountains! Arrayed all in purple stripes, the...

Stripes as a kitten was all over the face –prancing, dancing, in my face. We loved to watch him jump, hop, and dance all over the place. He loved to spot a sneaky fast mouse, and give it a hero’s chase. Stripes’ energy was well-known; running flat out was his pace. He gets more excited every time I...
