Vicariously,
The Bumblebees live through the
dewy Magnolias.

dewey Magnolias -
Huwey bought them for his girl;
Lewey was jealous

Tue Mar 27, 2007 9:05 am

Lewey was jealous
Of Lulu who was in Looe
Loving the lithe light.

k-j · Tue Mar 27, 2007 9:32 am

Loving the lithe light,
languid, flitting, lightning-quick
lepidoptera.

Tue Mar 27, 2007 9:42 am

Lepidoptera
Opt for the singeing terror
Of the candle flame.

twoleftfeet · Tue Mar 27, 2007 10:56 am

Of the candle flame
the mystic's inner voice spoke
and waxed lyrical

kozmikdave · Tue Mar 27, 2007 12:32 pm

...and waxed lyrical,
leaving smooth, shiny writing
between clumps of hair.

twoleftfeet · Tue Mar 27, 2007 3:06 pm

Between clumps of hair
lay vast wastes of shiny spam
waiting to be slapped

juliadebeauvoir · Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:08 am

Waiting to be slapped,
Norman twiddled his thumbs slow,
took inventory.

kozmikdave · Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:59 am

...took inventory.
No wonder business was bad -
the shelves were empty.

twoleftfeet · Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:02 am

Took inventory,

Dicky Tickery Doc
employed his cold stethoscope;
thumpity, thump, thump.

twoleftfeet · Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:03 pm

"Thumpity, thump, thump"
moaned Bambi through swollen lips
"That rabbit can punch!"

juliadebeauvoir · Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:06 pm

"That rabbit can punch!"
"Wascally Wabbit, that is."
Elmer Fuddism.

Elmer Fuddism -
sticks his rifle down the hole
til it pokes his arse

kozmikdave · Thu Mar 29, 2007 7:28 am

"... til it pokes his arse!"
the drill sergeant expounded,
"Now, fix bayonets!"

juliadebeauvoir · Fri Mar 30, 2007 4:42 am

"Now, fix bayonets!"
The sharp blades kept slipping out,
stabbing army boots.

twoleftfeet · Fri Mar 30, 2007 10:18 am

Stabbing army boots
with your twelve inch stiletto?-
Tell me, what's afoot?

kozmikdave · Sat Mar 31, 2007 1:12 am

Tell me, what's afoot?
Answer: 30.48
acentimeters!

twoleftfeet · Sat Mar 31, 2007 10:07 am

"Ascentimeters?"
said the climber " - they're no use
when we're going down"

kozmikdave · Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:36 am

when we're going down
we bark shins on rising heads
of those coming up

twoleftfeet · Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:00 pm

Of those coming up,
they're all remarkably slow,
all except Otis

juliadebeauvoir · Wed Apr 04, 2007 10:49 am

All except Otis,
got on the elevator
plunged down to their deaths.

kozmikdave · Thu Apr 05, 2007 7:28 am

plunged down to their deaths
the old pipes, so calcified,
eventually caved.

Heidi · Sun Apr 08, 2007 7:03 am

Hear it, the music
Beer, wine or whiskey in here
All beauty,no fear
