Poetry with the barefootpoet - one word, and you riff on that!

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I always call them flutter-bys instead of butterflies...so it's there, just transposed.

Rushing out to the washing line I hear mum.
Running up stairs, faffing in the kitchen,
Like a bell...

@Mangochutney - this barefootpoet - digs your appreciation of the bare foot, and your sweet, cool poem - so reminiscent, and clear - feet must - be done and well manicured and all that jazz. Feet are beautiful things. :) xo

Garden,
Floral, green
whispering rivers
sweetly sing
landing upon a beating heart
a hummingbird hovers to kiss
a floral treat
the wildflower in yellow, lavender, pink, orange, blue
lots of them
lose myself in this where comfort is
and nature is kind in this place,
If you are with me;
hold my hand
and share a smile.

Next word: horse

 

[Deleted member 42957]

The horse stands tall and strong
Muscles tight and shimmering
Head held high looking through my eye
The horse stands tall and strong

Slow swing he walks toward me
Agitated by the flies
He listens with ears like seaside shells
Takes everything in, he is wise

He smells the mint I hide in hand
And pushes me with his nose
Let's out a vibrating snorting sound
And stands in a Gallant pose

He takes the mint and wets my hand
And thanks me with his eyes
Swishes his tail as he turns around
And trots off with his prize


New word CROWN

 

[Deleted member 43031]

Wow, love it - very cool!!! Great images! :)

 

[Deleted member 43031]

From the night sky
stars fall, comets
northern lights congeal into
gems - moments that become
embedded into the golden
form that settles gently upon
me... this crown that is placed
on courage and fire, water, survival, desire
And when I sleep it will flow into the northern lights sweeping beautifully through my
dreams.

Next word?

Next word?

Sorry! Next Word: Wolf

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Wolf...
The wolf, we're taught to fear
Told to never ever go near
To avoid the perceived savage
Or chance being wildly ravaged
Never once allowed to think any deeper
Beyond the self-appointed species-specific scorekeeper
All the while the image of the wolf eye see
Is the image of self looking right back at me.

Next word: Grass

 

[420kitty]

Grass floating through the wind.
Chopped by the motor that cuts it.
Take the dead off to replenish with the new.
Water spraying like a fountain.
The roots and ever spreading system soaking up each droplet.
Extending to other networks until full.
Green is the grass most preferred unless your water bill has been hurt.

Balloons

 

[shatter eyes]

Balloons
I blew
Balloons
I drew
one eye opened
two eyes closed
Every balloon
Flew
Flew
Flew


New word: Habenero

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Hello there, Habenero.
Oh how vivid your color!
Drawing me in, your taste I wish to discover.
Curiosity wins and I grin and take a bite...
Hot damn! Gonna be on fire the rest of the night!
Thanks for the lesson,
The one that still keeps me guessing,
Look deep before you leap,
For you have no idea what you may reap.
