Premium Member Just Like That
Bearings lost, just like that, dark---can't see
  
  Tide's pulse doth quicken...

    Moorings unpinned, in a flash---at sea

Reaching / stretching / clawing / panic-stricken 

   Tide's pulse doth quicken......

Kentucky Fried
There once was an overweight chicken
Who feared she'd become finger lickin'
She let out a loud squawk 
At the sight of a fork
And shot from the Coop panic stricken

Stuck In Performance Mode
panic stricken
kickin &
screamin,
beating down
sound. your
presence is
all around
surrounds each
breath like death.
she writhes, 
choking the 
confessions of
sins she
couldn't commit-
stuck in performance
mode (sit, stay).
left, no more- no
less, devoured 
by dismay....

The Font Of Angels
Desperation to breed contempt
the moment shattered
time illy spent

Choices bartered and freedom gone
the reaper chanting
old righteous wrongs

Panic stricken the nights repeat
the days long orphaned
abandoned sheep

One promise lingers in chastened air
the font of Angels
— baptism’s prayer

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)

Premium Member Don'T Bother Counting Sheep - Trochee
Sleep is such a precious thing
Now I lay my head,
Close my mind from worrying,
Count some sheep instead

I drift off into my dream...
Hubby starts to snore !
Not again!! Well, I can scheme,
Ewes and me at war !

Sheep stampeding out the door !
A panic stricken flock
I've pushed hubby to the floor
A frantic man in shock!

This Is Me Trying
I have been having a hard time adjusting
In this picture perfect world 
Often having this notion
If i belong here
I didn't know they'd care if i came back
Now i have a lot of regrets
Running away from the insecurities
And panic stricken thoughts
But i am in the here
Just wanted you to know that this is me trying
They told me all of my cages were mental
So i got wasted like all my potential
Even after all this time
This is me trying...

They Know Not What They Are
And if they know not what they do
The lonely weary souls
Who share the common goal
Imbibe a sense of disbelief

They wander aimless through and through
Panic stricken sullen
Risen and the fallen
Reality obscured by grief

To make amends from me to you
My proposition is
Give solace and forgive
What timeless would consider brief

End excursion black and blue
In the deepest ocean
Swim through tears forgotten
The joy we'll feel from such relief...

Artemis - Snapshot Scifi
ABORT ABORT
but Donaldson was already drifting
further and further away from us
the thickness of his suit decreasing 
as his courageous kindness
floated on within his demise 
and all I could do was stare panic stricken
through the small window's cruelness 
as the white speck of my friend
became more and more surrounded
by the blackness of space
far removed from everything that existed
and I wondered if Donaldson would 
explore the universe forever
