Premium Member Father Figure
leaves whirl and cling to stout bough and branches -
sigh with tempered lows and highs

verdant spring is vast
a cornucopian nest -
sound of leaves flapping

the weeps,...

If I put paper to pen
Is it on top or down...

Figure Fusion
Enchanted sequins move with laser precision
Sensationally choreographed pyrometrics dance
Mystifying wingless flight of earthbound spirits
Steadily intensifying blurred colors streak by
Blades defy gravity suspended on breaths

Father Figure
The years have drug on
since you died.
I wish I could still remember
the sounds of your voice,
the memories of that died years ago.
You're "fill in" came...

Father Figure
He sits there patiently waiting
always apologizing 
but never showing 
the true feelings he is hiding
he acts like he is one with us 
but he couldn't...

I Watch My Figure, Getting Bigger
Every morning is the same,
Standing staring at my frame,
Looks no different from last night,
Flab is still winning the fight,

Scales hate me, sure they lie,
I only...

Figure Skater
He glides 
his skates swishing 
in a flurry of ice, 
caressing with slow movements; mere 
foreplay. 

Silence

Great expectations fill the...

The Figure Skater
One day
Good day

Young girl
Sweet girl

Who dream
Not scream

To be 
And see

Herself

Fulfilled

Jump high
Aim high

Gyrate
And skate

To learn
Not spurn

Toe loop
Not hoop

Flip jump
Loop jump

To flip
And skip

Upright
Spin right

Then...

of the fresh snow bunching,
and the tired leather boots
as I take that first step

Can be heard right here
by no other frozen ear,

and waxed moustache gave him a certain air, 
a certain dash, and a military bearing. 
His speech was clipped....

Cucumber Pie
Are cucumbers cool
As a general rule?
How fresh is a daisy?
Are loons always crazy?

How snug is a bug
When he’s not in a rug?
How gentle are lambs
