Premium Member Look again, beware
Look again, my dear things are not as they appear while words deceive they slither and they weave your eyes can also lie lead you astray with just a sigh Look deep beyond the surface, dear and trust not everything you hear AP: Honorable Mention 2025 Posted on April 4, 2025...

Premium Member Beneath The Surface Of A Whim
Wave a magic wand and poof! Try to put the genie back in the bottle Oops, too late…now everyone’s laughing More like heads shaking in disbelief Wear the rough edges of your plan down With the file still buried in that 34-ingredient cake A humorous situation, no, a real mess At the crossroads…freedom & whim You tore apart the construct limb from limb Disaster...

Premium Member Stargazing By Water Surface
Stars reflecting upon the clearest surface of water. I think that is how the Mayans taught each astrologer. Guess that's how everyone in the empire was: looking up, out there....

BENEATH THE SURFACE
Each critique, a dart that sharply lands, Piercing through the depths, unveiling the strands. Presentation skills rightly come to play, Dissecting flaws without dismay. Gentle whispers soothe the gloom, Like honey poured in the labyrinth's bloom. Empower the frail, an onus to shoulder, Utilize the might in ways one can only ponder....

Lily pad
There’s life here still somewhere below the surface. I dip under lily pads, delve hands into reeds. Down in the sludge, shimmering sunlight illuminates what once thought lost....

Dry Ice Surface
In the abyssal depths, hope is bled dry to die A requiem for all blurs my vision, blurry and blind The stars distant fading whisper, loses glimmer As creation's song is reduced to a mournful shiver This earthly sarcophagus, breast patter, rictus rots In darkness 'neath sorrow's ilk crushing thoughts The wind, wails, a head on a chain swinging low Of all...

Danger Zone , alone , Descending Beneath the Surface, barely Below U and I before I make a go
The title said it all… Thank you very much Left an unanswered call All alone and such… I’m reaching to the top so tall I loved you to the cold-hearted touch Catch me I make an abashing freefall I discarded you…you deserted me too and left me a torn-apart heart with a crutch Danger zone, Alone, Descending beneath the surface, barely Below you and I Before I...

Surface-Level Cleaning
I burned your placemat. A sunny yellow flower. I used it at my desk. It was ANOTHER thing I had ruined. You emphasized ANOTHER. Another thing I can't do right. Another thing I took. Another mistake. It left a mark on my pristine, white desk. A caramel brown. I tried to get it out, But it stained the table. My scars are all too close to the...

Surface Tension
Surface tension I wrote The many warning signs, That somehow satisfied us two Hooked on a note, Choked out of the freedom We both could have known Where there were blues in his eyes. Magenta hues filled the room With music Volume high My tensions rise I want to cry, but I can't shouting passions into a void Agony surpasses...

Premium Member Surface Whispers
Written: August 3rd, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Through the shallow depths of my soul, I sail on a wild surface with no control. Passengers of dreams, we set sail, With the wind blowing through, we prevail. In this journey, we navigate, A lushness of views and emotions, subtle and innate The wind sighs secrets and plays on the flagpole. As we traverse the depths of our...

Premium Member Glittering Ocean Surface
The ocean's surface glitters, Reflecting the eyes of all, As smiling spectators gather, To witness nature's call. The waves crash against the shore, In a mesmerizing dance, As the sun's rays shine down, Creating a sparkling trance. The colors of the water, Are ever-changing and bold, As the deep blues turn to greens, And the purples start to unfold. The creatures of the deep Are hidden from our...

Surface Pollution
The surface of the water is filled with pollution, It's sad to see such a precious thing so ill used. Plastic bags and bottles pollute what should be clean, Turmoil for animals who live beneath this screen. Fish are dying in droves, no more food can they find, And wildlife must suffer as we cause...

Premium Member Surface Dust Poetry
The poetic endeavour Is made up of surface debris Previously it collected in corners And was blown about Sometimes blowing into my face But now I sweep it up Form it into semi neat piles And kick it outwards The kicking is not the best idea I get some blow back from that But those neat piles cheer me up I can't imagine wading through Day...
