Premium MemberWill-o’-the-wisp Reignites the Flame

The Will-o’-the-Wisp never stays still.
It ignites a dare, 
tempting the watchers to chase its glow.
Its tongues of flame don’t just flicker—
they sear deep into the minds of those, 
who dare to gaze and stare.

It erupts with flickering tongues of fire, 
leaping ahead like runaway sparks,
igniting the brittle leaves of thought.
Spreading fast, wild, and relentless—
through piles

Premium MemberWill-o’-the-Wisp

The furtive idea, flares ghost-ignited, 
in a fevered yellow-blue glimmer,
on the edge of sight,
just out of reach,
beckoning you towards it.
Pirouetting, bobbling and whirling,
above the sodden, choking, black mire
of mundane, numbed and stale thoughts.

You draw near,
It slips away.
Crawl closer.
It slings away.
Try to snatch a side-ways glance—
It dissolves,
like a phantom mirage.
But this will-o'-the-wisp—
this alluring fiery gas spirit
is

Premium Membera wisp of a thing

She came gliding in on her dragonfly steed.
Lovely and lithe, delightful indeed.
A wisp of a thing, a tiny little light might.
A pixie, a faerie, a pretty sight on this night.

A Wisp of Mind

i recollect thoughts like shells
as i walk along
on the shores of time
alone 

memories tumble
like waves at dawn
in remembrance of you

i feel the mist of salty spray
as it it runs down cheeks
like tears of yesteryears
now gone by

i hear the wisp of wind
fall like whispers
of words
unspoken

the pounding waves
in rhythm with my heart
as my feet sink
within the sand
and

Willow Wisp On High

Hi, I'm Druzy, and I'm a big girl cuz I'm six
I'm stuck inside today...Oh, FIDDLESTICKS!!!
Mom said I can't go outside cuz it's raining
I cried and she yelled, "Druzy, stop complaining!"

Bored with games, I sat, pouting on the couch 
Something pinched me, and I screamed, "Ouch!"
That's when I saw them; two witty bitty things
who were giggling

Premium MemberWill O the Wisp

The opponent manoeuvres
attempting to mentally encircle 
His tactics prove to be futile
for we are a vibrational twinkle

His arms reach out to strangle
whilst ours open in embrace
As a bliss mist we are immune
while he runs his own race

Premium MemberWisp of Love

How many times did I gaze on thy face
In mine daydreams? When spent sun was fiercer; 
Before night lapse in dank vesture of lace.
Mine wane smile died with memories dear sir.

Whiff scent of nature's breath upon mine cheeks
Unfurl the substance in mine trouble soul.
Swell of explosive unsated love seeks
Warm wisp embrace, of thy intimate whole.

A Wisp of Thought

There was a glimpse of time unknown to man
The things none may ever describe
All wrapped within this wall of thoughts
For if a moment of my thoughts are clear
They are not my thoughts at all
Never again will I see the light of the heavens above
Never again will I feel so safe
Entrenched within my thoughts is where

Wish Upon a Dandelion Wisp

my thoughts adrift
endless on the horizon's edge
lingering in the warmth
of this day

you stand beneath
the folds of eyes
awake in dreams

i tremble amidst
the effortless breath of wind
tenderly stroking me
with the torridity
of a  midday sigh

wiping dry
the mist that falls
from lonely eyes

my tears alight
on the feathery puffs
of the last dandelion 

i whisper softly
lips against its folds
with a kiss
it

Wisp Stant Readest

that each richness is under your feet
it is wise that those who tre4ad in muck
feel their way through.

in order to create disdain, those
might gain or create a trust

then they shall seek common ground
and understanding, to convey there needs and wants.
he standest upon the diamonds of the mines
not knowing he does.
then will he know value
be kind

Wisp

My wind cries susan
Hoping for response
The sea holds its wave a little longer
Sweetest strawberries
That burst within your mouth
Savoured 
to hold onto the taste
Breeze nestles in her hair too long
love songs forever silenced
and multitudes of words
hang themselves
lifeless in disgrace
unable to capture that face
And eyes so rare
but cursed to never look upon themselves
Light radiates her
and the wind
