Naughty
Glinting giggle
Growing little source of trouble
Cheeky canvass changing daily
Monkey

Me cheeky? Nooooo...

My small daughter however (see above)

monkey
amongst the trees
swinging from branch to branch
jungle comes alive with sounds of
laughter

wait until she's fifteen
then you'll really know
what cheeky means

**ross** · 07-28-2010, 01:21 PM

Laughter
Breaks the tension
Pent up emotion kept concealed
Lest momentary lapse reveals
The truth

She takes after her Dad!

the truth
often stranger
than a fictitious tale
belief systems determine what
one sees

**Olly Buckle** · 07-30-2010, 10:27 AM

one sees
everything but
one observes far less
picking up only on what one thinks
one needs.

Everything has got me, is it ev-ery-thing, or ev-er-y-thing, in which case you do not need to see "but"

**ash somers** · 07-30-2010, 10:38 AM

i believe it's three

one needs
spring to blossom
and for winter to end
beco's poor old ash's bones are
frozen

Frozen
Cod and haddock
Blocks of ice crash over
Sodden timber heaving boxes
Fish face

Fish face.
Blow hole. Bug eyes.
Names that follow through life
From childhood memories that haunt,
But build.

**ash somers** · 08-03-2010, 02:58 AM

but build
a house of sticks
gathered in delusion
based on lies and fabrication
psycho

**seawings** · 08-05-2010, 12:30 AM

Ok...first try.

Soaring
High with eagles
On thermals lifting them higher
Along cliff rim and rock they climb
Upward

**ash somers** · 08-05-2010, 12:18 PM

welcome, seawings

upward
goes the spiral
upon currents of heat
in ever decreasing circles
airborne

just a gentle reminder to use the last line to write the first line of the next one :)
