We plant trees,
Roadside rescues,
We make a line,
Watch them grow,
Serrated fence,
Green edges,
One day a forest,
We can hide behind.

A white picket #fence
and a perfect white house
but what is in the yard
how many garden gnomes
and how many weird statuary
did they put there?

I've been sitting on the #fence
so long, I've finally become
the fence. It is quite uncomfortable.
I should do something about it,
but, as I said, I am sitting
on the fence.

The thoughts that sneak,
The doubts that peep,
The midnight worry,
The daydream scurry,
We think too much,
Of stuff and such,
Just for a bit..
Let go of it.

Out of a clear sky fell a feather. I could only tell it was from a Phoenix by its glow. Afraid to get burned I approached cautiously. Weren't they supposed to become ash?

Across the ocean
of a thousand differences
he - a free man -
came to the port
She awaited him
No plan ahead
they allowed their souls
to touch each other
in sweet surrender
They wouldn't let
any circean...

Soft steps borrow the floorboards
Not seen is my favorite shape
Every pause opens a door
Air learns my outline
Kept quiet, I pass

She must have
a 7th sense for it,
maybe she can smell it
or has X-Ray eyes.
In any case, it is hard
to #sneak new books
by my other half.

The rain was sneaky–slicking grass underfoot and weighting woollen jumpers until liquid to liquid it invaded lungs like a hostile force. #ThingsToWriteAbout #WIPSnips

I built walls around it, stacking stones that can't contain so much creeping water, this #sneaking #ache that seeps through the life I have built around it.

Discovered
Did you know
I stubbed my toe
While playing hide and seek?
I swore a lot
And plum forgot
I was supposed to #sneak.
I was quite well hidden, I think
More so than those around me…
But quicker than a man can blink
The seeker came and found me.

Offbeat waves break the current. It aches. A witty axolotl gets quirky upon this seismic event.

"Learn my edges
jagged and smooth"
he said
"I'm longing, aching
ready-made for you"
I glimpsed his puffed plumage
beneath shining armour
his attempt to enclave
with overwhelming infatuation
He offered collusion

You move your castle but you cannot jump. Your knight is lost while you look at the king. Rules are in place. You know you must care about the crowns, wooden royalty hiding at the back. You can’t help yourself.You run ahead, throw yourself in front to protect the pawns.
