With all these new poems being posted, I thought I best throw one out too.


Meaning from shadow-
I dance between the spaces
finding beauty there.

I will give you one I wrote a friend, on the occasion of the birthday of a son who no longer speaks with him. (This isn't haiku, but is short and rife with meaning...)

Let birthdays fan the embers
Of good-memories---
Flickers of past Joy
To warmly ease the pain of
The What-ifs.

Wow, good poems. My English teacher would get a kick out of both of those. Guess I should post one in return too....
Here's my only "cheerful" one............


Three month old cherry coke,
I drank it unsuspecting.
Just how was I supposed to know
that it had been fermenting?
It stank the stink of stinky cheese,
and tasted so much worse.
(My knack for not checking things
is a stupid curse.)
So, my beverage drinking friend,
I give you this small biff:
before you tip it back and chug,
first, just take a whiff.

The hell...
Okay I think I clicked edit instead of reply because somehow my reply appeared IN Leafer's post. I repaired it of course... *chocolate* computer...
Anyway as I was trying to say: Nice poetry
I know that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one...

Back vile dino cow!!! You'll need more than Nunchaku to stop the likes o' me! -Ouch- cut that ouch- Stop with the smacking- Eww- all right- Whack- You ask for it- Bang- Ouch-

::Snipe reaches into the depths of his long coat to pull out what appears for all the world to be an Iguanodonalizer 5000,
(with laser sights, very cool that). He grins all wrong and levels the fearsome weapon at the hulking beast what is The Muncher of Leaves.::

"Say your prayers rabbit!" Snipe cackles- eyes wild and spinning.
"I think it best I make a hasty retreat!" Leafy says as she slowly backs away.

Whats to become of Leafers?! And more important, whats to become of Snipe's boots?! Oh, the drama!

To be continued by someone else....

::Snipe continues to cackle like a mad old woman who lives alone in a house with five dozen cats and Leafy's eyes widen with horror. Or is it hunger?::

"Ooooh these aren't so bad..." Muncher of Leaves comments as she swallows her nunchaku.

This time Snipe's eyes widen in horror. "What type of beast is this?" Then gracelessly dropping his cool hulking Iguanodonalizer 5000 on his foot, he screeches and slows down long enough for the cow dino to lunge toward him and do what millenia of instinct have told her to do whenever threatened- eat the threat.

::From the gullet of the Lieutenant, amongst a sea of half-digested crayons and stomach acids, a liscence plate here and there and more jell-o and scrapple than seen as a Southern family reunion, Snipe begins what millenia of instinct have told him to do w hich of course he has decided to ignore and do the exact opposite of::

::Reciting as he creates::

Floating silently
In the cavernous depths
Cow dino gullet

Gently swaying now
Crayons floating shimmering
I want to go home

::Snipe sobs quietly into his hands while the evil Iguanodon booms with laughter, pausing to wipe away a bit of yellow Crayolya waxy dribble from her mouth and continues to laugh::

"what are we doing again?"

"and do what millenia of instinct have told her to do whenever threatened- eat the threat." <~~ LOL

LEafers.. her moment of hyperness residing.. her seemingless ceasless energy begining to cease.. something has gone astray in her inerds. Snipe.. he's.. INDIGESTIBLE!!! She thinks with horror of the thought of something not being able to be eaten and acidically broken down. Then it came.. a wobble on her feet. First it's a little wobble... then she shifts her foot... then its a shake.. then it's a Bluck..bluuuccckk..bluck..bluck (puking dog noise) as the contents of her stomach (Snipe) are slowley and enjoyably regurgetated.
With an almighty **HACK** Snipe is tossed far from LEafer's gullet and onto the floor...bootless. While Snipe picks off stray pieces of frying pan and elephant tusk, Fire grabs the hose and hoses the waxy.. almost Crayola type saliva that coats him. Eskara flies down from her haughty perch to have a good laugh.. while Ovira nicks (pinches/takes) her chocolate, Kami shakes her head in wonder, Shadowstriker shakes the ensign off her tail (he'd been there for awhile) But Leafers is now no-where to be seen....

WILL SNIPE GET BOTH HIS BOOTS BACK???
WHAT IS THE ENSIGN DOING ON SHADOW'S TAIL?
WILL FIRE STOP SQUIRTING EASKARA WITH THE HOSE??
WILL THEY DISCOVER THE WEARABOUT OF THE PUKING VEGETATION CONSUMER IN TIME FOR THE MOONLIGHT SUNLIGHT YODALLING PYGMY HIPPO DANCE?

ALL WILL BE REVIELIED IN ANOTHER POST.. (also.. not done by me)

LOL! GUys, you have given me a grand laugh before my next class;) Now for the Foxy-deer's POV!

*The winged deer/fox is lafing so hard she plummets from the air like the ton of bricks that came down on Poor Murphy's head and lands on the Cap'n with a satisfying squeltch.*

"Ar! Me feathered hat! You'll pay for that Winged Whippersnapper!"

"Whippersnapper? I'm older than you are!"

"Ar, that be true. BUt what else begins with Dub-ya to insult ya?"

"Ummmmmmmm....... Winged wonder.... Wonderful Winged one... Wobegotten Winged..." The two ponder for close to seven hours before settling on.... Winged Wesal!

"Now, we've got that settled...." The Cap'n quickly gets back into his indignant rage and the Winged Queen flits back to a semi air-born stage. "You'll pay for that you Winged Weasel!"

"Never! AH-ahhahahha!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a tick-tock, tick-tock, is heard from something green swimming towards the boat...

"Ah... Scared now, aren't you? Tis the Crock! THe one that took your hand Cap'n Hook!" Eskara easily imitates a rooster crow and flies higher to watch the mayhem onboard.

"Cap'n hook? Wrong story, Winged Wesal," But, the Cap'n looks over board to see...

TO be continued by anyone but me! I've got art class to get to and a lunch to eat.
