Another World

Submitted by Keith Logan on Fri, 2016-04-01 05:44

If I could figure out how, this poem would be entered in the limmerick contest, anyway folks I hope some may enjoy it.

Snug under the covers I go
to a world which no one can know.
then slide down the bed
sheet over my head
as outside its twenty below.

Labelmaker (The Sum of my Parts)

Submitted by Conect11 on Fri, 2016-04-01 00:00

I'm here to find me,
whomever I might be.
I'm here to find God,
if He's really here.

[And I don't know if He's here
because there are days I can't seem to see
a foot in front of my face.
There are days
I don't even know
what He'd look like.]

till one can.....hold on as long.

Submitted by lovedly on Thu, 2016-03-31 15:22

hold on as long.

I assure you there is nothing beyond
we all love those who to us here belong

then all go up to
the pyre cemetery incinerator
and say
SO LONG ......

well since he is gone
why even go to the
Rideliew
'tis so far
most say so
no one will know
fare well for long

Thunder Cracks Eerily

Submitted by Keith Logan on Thu, 2016-03-31 05:24

I can't enter the acrostic contest, must be too late. I thought I would share my effort anyway.

Thunder cracks and rolls along
Heavy rains morph into sleet
Undergrowth quails at this song
Nervous at so strong a beat
Desperate animals throng
Every head bowed in defeat
Ravens ascending to meet

Colourful berries abound
Rather like gems on a bed
All these are easily found
Caught in that glare, shining red
Keep your face to the ground
Stopping that dream in your head

RITES OF PASSAGE edit

Submitted by Geremia on Wed, 2016-03-30 14:43

RITES OF PASSAGE

M y spirit wants to soar
with broken wings
and my body of stone
yearns to move again.
my days are black and grey,
colorless and faded rainbows;
cold rains that strike my soul.
there is no hope in my heart,
and I pray for annihilation.
but there is yet more to come
before it is done.

Richard for Joe

RAINBOW BANG

Submitted by Esker on Wed, 2016-03-30 10:55

arched freedom
the sweat glistens
like fresh rain on a waxed
board
the summer hoards
gather neath bright
umbrella
cool streamer drizzle
drifts downward
to the gooseflesh
excited
the hungry breakers
curl like a mouth with
frothing lip
and great blue tongue
the longing deep
inside
to slide down the
ride
the pipe
knowing danger
lurks in primitive
beasts
at heels rush
the thrill
that brush

ARKANSAS DREAM

Submitted by Shyanne18 on Tue, 2016-03-29 18:06

ARKANSAS DREAM

You are in my skin now,
Needles leaving their mark.
Running your warm hands up my body,
You feel so hot against my skin
Burning deeply with your fire.
Your scent lingers in my nose
Your touch on my skin,
That craving I can't calm,
That itch I can't scratch.
Leave your breath on my neck.

TEMPERED QUICKENING

Submitted by universalcharme... on Tue, 2016-03-29 15:05

Awaken ravens of my havens,
Coven berries quickly becomes mourning dues of morning dews!!!
As lightning consumes and thunder quickens,
Reign of storming sleet becomes foes.
Downpours and overwhelms;
Never too over consuming,
Higher warriors of different realms of horizons,
Discovering new pathways and rage of honors,
Amidst still valued morals and values,
Amazing grace with quickening coven of testimonial laws that rules!!!
Teeming with excitement and vigor,
Skills of tempered steel for more......

First Look

Submitted by Keith Logan on Tue, 2016-03-29 05:12

Tetractys 1,2,3,4,10

Scratch--
then hiss,
spit and howl.
Its hit or miss
as kitten sees a mirror, on the prowl.

It crashes and it dashes here and there:
embarrassed when,
home is where
it slinks
then.

My World or Yours?

Submitted by eightmenout on Tue, 2016-03-29 00:17

You know her,
that woman,
who gets fixated on one thing.
She knows all about it.
Dogs, for instance,
she was caught
once
not picking up after him.
Now she recites the law
to every dog walker in town.
That woman even stopped me
once
scolded me on the law
for not picking up after him.
Peculiar as it was,
I picked up his droppings
before finishing to walk home
with my imaginary friend.
