WIND

From gentle whispers
to hateful screaming banshee
we know well your moods.

TIGER

Jungle night finds man
lost in darkness while smiling
Tiger salivates.

Ode To Floyd

Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earthbound misfit, I
Wish you were here hear

 

[MuseChaser]

Flash, crack, thunder roars,
drenching deluge frightens a
Tiger in the Rain.

 

[MuseChaser]

Ninety-one degrees,
yet white flakes fall everywhere.
Darn cottonwood trees.

Excellent use of sound and fury.

THE ELDERLY

Weakened failing eyes
with translucent parchment skin
now reminiscing
of times past of your prime time
wherein you ran so wind-like.

Tanka Time

[Quadman2]

Try on on.

The Last Cookout

The charcoal sputters,
gasping out it's final breath.
A breeze offers hope
for a longer existence
but it is to no avail.

Breakfast

Their hull is breached,
eggs dive into the batter
to escape the whisk.

Spoiled Appetite

Elsie is ground up.
puzzled by her fate as a
Not so Happy Meal.

Offspring

Wood and nails align
His brow furrowed next to mine
Plans unfold like wings
Ten years held in steady hands
We build more than just a thing

In the far North..."Death" watches you attempting this act!

Super use of metaphors!


Q

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

@Quadman2 hath been
Twisting my arm to give this
A try, how is it?

 

[Quadman2]

Structure-wise, correct
and your message-wise was so
obvious for me!

But, you got off the "ground", sjJ

MEMORIES

Like fleeting shadows
remembrances from our pasts
some that long linger
whilst others stamped in our minds
never to wear down in time.
