Zigzag

When a dark zigzag pattern appears
along the side of 
my beside tables it’s time for me to 
organise: the cheeky plant pots in 
the tiny shed on 
the east side of 
the backyard; my positive and 
negative traits; the characteristics of 
the kitchen.

Life's Zigzag Road

Despite the cold chill
Traveling this zigzag road
Life's must go on thrill.

Zigzag

‘ Over dose of Whisky can change sense of orientation in usual movement , zigzag turning straight and straight turning zigzag.’ -  Poet

         Zigzag

          Zigzag path slipped on snow 
          by sneaking snake,
          whether fast or slow.
          Yeti stepped straight. 
          Next both relished overdose of whisky.
            
         To follow zigzag path, smake had to hate.
          It ran fast straight without break.
         Yeti ran zigzag,  yet steps at stake
            Movement of both went risky.

Zigzag Zebra Nursery Rhyme

ZIGZAG  ZEBRA 


          Zigzag zebra started to gallop
          to reach a book shop
          saying ‘Hi !’
           to buy 
           the text book Algebra.

             He was offered a milkshake
                  by a scary snake.
            The shop owner was King Cobra.

           Zebra got afraid,
            ran and fled
             to meet a monkey 
             sitting on back of donkey.
       
         Monkey jumped and hit zebra with tail.
            Nothing more to tell.
          That’s the end of tale.

Zigzag Road

The road to true love couldn't be more crooked.
          It's tough to navigate. 
      The forks do get rough and wicked;
                    They're never straight.

Some are hit with tsunami of heartbreak 
          And pain along the way, 
      Yet try again despite the ache 
                    Without delay.

Is the zigzag journey to love worth it? 
          You bet your life it is!
       If it's love that you seek, don't quit!
                    Risk it, gee-whiz...

Not All Tongues That Wag You Gag

Not all tongue that wag
You dishonorably gag …

Of course not that of my Neighbor
Which assigned to itself Christ’s Labor
For it doesn’t behind lag
And will ever out ***,
While demolishing knickers that sag;
Women that fripperies drag,
Hundreds of cosmetics bag,
Fun always pokes at a hag 
Or lanes walk that zigzag 
And in the church read a mag!

The tongues that sensibly wag
Should about it richly brag,
Even as their victims nag,
Their anger rocky crag.

Zigzag Route Leads Nowhere

Earth life a jigsaw puzzle, soul navigates
Floundering about in vain
Fickle and fleeting is joy, so heart agitates
Measuring loss and gain

We see all around, perfect divine order
Planets orbiting the sun
Save man, no living creature a hoarder
High time then, we come undone 

Looking back at the zigzag route we took
Delusion cause of our bondage 
Soul not this body, seems we were mistook
Fears and desires, our form ravage

We recognise head and heart at divergence
Misaligned with throb of love
So we stand still, enabling joy convergence 
With God’s will, hand in glove

Layer by layer, our cravings disappear 
We become an empty shell
It is then we feel, bliss magnetism spear
Fulfilled at last, all is well

A Zigzag In Autumn

Autumn and a zigzag of memories,
bare cornfields replace luscious heaths.
Forest tracks zigzag in vales
as hikers' joy blooms
admiring the  half dead dahlias.

From the verdant hills I spy
The green ferns thrive 
from recent downpours;
goats graze before the winter blasts
and hay-laden carts amble by.

Here and there old farms dot 
the countryside, smoke silently
curling slowly out of blackened chimneys.
Oh how I yearn for my past childhood
And zigzag the vales among the mild climate.

Yearlings Zigzag

Arctic bear cubs, den,
exiting frozen grounds halfway into June.
Keeping low,
mothers navigate onshore perils,
quietly roving.
Sensing they've uninvitedly violated
wildlife's Xenia,
yearlings zigzag.

Zigzag

The concrete road snakes 
through the gigantic mountains, 
as cars go slower.

Pleasure :: Tinas Zigzag Rhyme

Pleasure, feeling of enjoyment,
never for a mental reward.
Derived from what is one's liking.
Happy feel, but for amusement,
recreation, delight, glee, fun
for sensual fulfilment done.

Pleasure, feeling of enjoyment,
never for a mental reward.

Pleasure felt vary with every
person; it's very subjective.

Pleasure is for interim phase
doesn't stay for lifelong happy days.

Zigzag

Pick prompt poise
Cheer calm choice


Set sure say
Prize proud play


Lift love light
Frame fond flight


Spread sound spice
Niche note nice


Glimpse grand gift
Love light lifts


Zest zooms zeal
Face fronts feel


Cast clear craft
Dance dream draft

Zigzag

Wise words will wealth
Hope heeds high health


Zest zooms zigzag
Live laughter lags


Prize poignant peace
Etch employs ease


Feel fumbling fear
Dance deeper dear


Meet mindful moans
Glimpse glitzy groans


Breeze buoyant blaze
Sight sensuous space


Apt answers ask
Try telling task


Zigzag zooms zest
Fee feisty fest


Dream dazzles dear
Craft curious cheer

Even If the Road Is Zigzag

L-et fourteenth January morn
O-pen the warm Saturday; 
R-ise of the beacon begins, 
R-aindrop and chill fade away.
A-llow the light to remain
I-n the path you travel on; 
N-ever be afraid of the dark, 
E-ven if it's a bleak horizon.

L-et Friday the 13th pass, 
O-bliterate the dirt and rag; 
P-repare to tread on anytime, 
E-ven if the road is
Z-igzag.

Zigzag

By this old tree,
Guess what I see?


Brown squirrel grooves
Such zigzag moves.


Up and down here
Such lively cheer.


I look to find
Nature most kind.


Seize then fond play
This very day
