[Mandy]

Don't be scared, I don't think it's the kind of snake that bites.

[Ryan]

All snakes bite :)

[Mandy]

Would it help if I milked the venom out of him first?

[Ryan]

'Fancy that!' he said,
with dying breath. 'Charm isn't
everything, I guess.'

[Mandy]

Don't you die on me,
his love said, sucking venom
from his bitten head.

[M]

She wasn’t a girl
to bring home to Mother, nor
merit much bother:

lithe and lusty as
any another--the kind to
bring home to Father!

[Mandy]

Not usually
into sharing, on this night
she was not caring.

The father willing,
but his son not so daring,
left her fire flaring.

[M]

(I don’t know how I wound up with this.)


“Drive foreign cars? I’m
not the sort!” the tart exclaimed.
“I’m a Ford escort.”

[Ryan]

On Sunset Strip, her
lost bikini soon paid for
a Lamborghini.

[Mandy]

Looks alone can take
you far, but soon they'll run out,
like gas from a car.

When she was younger,
she bloomed like a rose though her
life was full of thorns.

[Mandy]

Delicate petals,
plucked away, by any name
smelling just as sweet.

[Ryan]

Very nice, Mandy and Leslie.

[Mandy]

Thanks Ryan.

[M]

Oh, yes! These are beautiful.

[[deleted user]]

hehe thanks Ryan and M :)

[Ryan]

Of delicate soul,
she sees love refracted, through
rose colored glasses.

[[deleted user]]

rose colored glasses
the artist poised for sunlight
sips ambrosia skies

[Ryan]

Stunning, Cat!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks, Ryan~!

[M]

To imbibe such pure
cerulean proved damn near,
well, herculean.

[[deleted user]]

To live a full life
in a theatre of woe
one must push forward

[Ryan]

The chill woes of dawn,
unwanted invaders, storm
my fortress of dreams.

[M]

Nice images!

[Ryan]

Dawn's fingers find us
adrift on marigold waves
in moonbeam oceans.

[M]

Three unlooked-for does,
their speckles, their eyes, as woods’
shadows mark day’s demise.

[Ryan]

Beautiful writing, M.

[M]

Thank you, Ryan!

[[deleted user]]

Nectar of Poets
lanterns and pallors of ice
by Sandalwood trees.

[M]

Beautiful, Cat!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks, M!

[M]

Japanese lanterns
punctuate a still twilight
among the larches.

[Mandy]

Like a ninja in
the night, going to war is
Samuri delight.

[[deleted user]]

Starlight on the lot
Ravens in their quiet nests
I listen to your voice.

[Angie]

It grates on my ears.
I wish that I could press mute,
and escape the sound.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds are mute on ears
escape the grate that could press
the mute wish I sound

[Jim]

mute, she gestures "sky."
deaf, he smiles, arms swirling waves.
blue so clear it aches.

[Jim]

hi guys... not sure where to share this... my poem is a finalist this month at the goodreads.com poetry competition! :)

[Ryan]

Wow! These last few haiku are outstanding. Stunning!

Congratulations, Jim, best of luck to you.

[Jim]

thanks, Ryan!!! sadly, after the judges choose the finalists it becomes a popularity contest. and i don't even have a tiara. :P

miss you guys here!

[Ryan]

Blues, a shade deeper
than her dusky twilit eyes,
threaten to drown me.

[[deleted user]]

blue orange and purple
from the city of the palms
The light on mesas.

[Mandy]

A breath is stolen,
a heartbeat skipped, time stands still,
as new love begins.

[[deleted user]]

New love begins now
still is the heart beat a' skipped
New breath stands stolen.

[M]

Alas, someone has
stolen my breath, and with it
my halitosis.

[Mandy]

Wretched words hidden
by sweet pepperment kisses
from candycane lips.

[M]

She deemed her marriage
worth a mint--that is, till she
read all the fine print.

[Mandy]

With no way out of
her wedding vows, her one hope...
a stampede of cows.

[M]

(Oh, that’s good, Mandy!)

[Jim]

hahahahaha
