Spectator Sport

Trapped within a cage

the spectators voices shrilly

mimicking their movements

acting silly

Shiny baubles

oh so close

carefully watching

as the spectators boast

Ignoring the sign

saying not to touch

calling to them

the temptation is too much

A woman approaches

with a small child

I mimic their gestures

my behavior is mild

The candy is close

almost within my grasp

trying to be cool

letting a small time elapse

Got it!

the woman begins to scream

pulling the child back

dropping his ice cream

The candy is mine

I will do it again

enjoying my prize

as the crowd grows thin

Fervid: A Puppy Adventure

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date September 9, 2019

Sweet puppy

name is Grace

filled with energy

life is a race

Out of the sky

ice was falling

with great fervid strength

Grace found her calling

Leaping into the air

not to be outdone

grabbing the ice cube

she began to run

Oh such fun

flipping each piece in the air

jumping delightfully

dancing with a flair

Added grass

just a little flavor

each piece melting

hardly waiting to savor

As soon as it starts

the falling ice is over

time to lie down

taking a minute to recover

Oh the life of a puppy

it is so grand

learning new things

happiness across the land

Scintilla: Mischief in the Mud

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date August 21, 2019
2 Comments on Scintilla: Mischief in the Mud

Gathering close to the water

scintilla of mischief in the air

fresh rain produced mud

adventure with a flair

Coming closer

mom turned around

siblings near

close to the ground

Siblings close to the puddle

excitement in my eyes

just one push

will ire arise

Pushing the first one

oh so much fun

hit face first

the others begin to run

Getting up

my sibling chases me

running through the mud

sounds of glee

Mom grabs my neck

then we both fall

covered with mud

silliness for all

Chided into the lake

dunked until clean

adventure was fun

should have heard them scream

Quiet now

lying in the shade

mom watching closely

mischief well played

Spoof, Integrated, and Cursory: A Duckling’s Game

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date July 14, 2018
9 Comments on Spoof, Integrated, and Cursory: A Duckling’s Game

The small duckling looked around

his family not found

seeing a mother goose

to a game he became bound

He spoofed the goose

integrated into her nest

everything going well

it was a good place to rest

Time to get up

the mother goose called

goslings and the duckling fell in line

each having a ball

Leaving the nest

closer to the water they came

each got in

the duckling thought it was a wonderful game

His mother spotted him

calling his name

with cursory speed she swam

quacking he should be ashamed

The mothers met

not amused by his spoof

each gave a lecture

expressions of reproof

The duckling swam home

he quacked with fake shame

climbed into the nest

having enjoyed his game

Hoax: A Skipper Tale

Vacation is coming

time to drive my car

Piper thinks she is driving

the destination is far

The car is packed

time to get in

sitting in the back

opportunity is thin

Then it happens

Piper sees where I dropped her keys

the car is running

I jump to the driver’s seat on my knees

Into the driver’s seat

locking the door in an instant

steering wheel in front of me

moving the car a short distance

Piper running

rushing with the key

pulling the emergency brake

stopping the car immediately

Jumping to the back seat

relishing the moment at hand

thrill of driving a car

my hoax is legendary across the land

Debonair: A Family Reunion

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date June 14, 2018
11 Comments on Debonair: A Family Reunion

Arriving at the reunion

debonair as can be

he parks his bicycle

next to the sycamore tree

Sitting at a table

tales begin to flow

family surrounds him

his eyes begin to glow

History of the area

how the town began

tales of heroics

how a man ran

Tales of love

how each couple met

families speculated marriage

some had a bet

Lunch is served

other tales are told

each one getting taller

as the day grows old

Reunion over

the debonair man leaves

smiles on all faces

to family stories they cleave

Nefarious: Ducks on a Park Picnic

2 Comments on Nefarious: Ducks on a Park Picnic

Walking through the park

picnics all around

nefarious activities being planned

determined ducks abound

Strutting around

distracting the crowd

putting on a show

quacking extremely loud

There is a commotion

duck jumping on a table

food flying everywhere

ducklings gathering samples where able

Flying from table to table

bread scattered on the ground

geese join the fun

bounty for all wildlife around

Chased by the people

nefarious plans accomplished

feast had by all

tales told of the outlandish

Sun is setting

return to the nest

the ducks are full

time for a rest

Introduction: A Blueberry Cobbler Love Affair

Post author By pipersadventures9
Post date June 13, 2018
11 Comments on Introduction: A Blueberry Cobbler Love Affair

The introduction was simple

it was just sitting there

the sweet aroma

too much for my senses to bear

An blueberry cobbler

filled with such delight

right out of the oven

such a beautiful sight

Capers take calculation

this was the first one

jumping hastily toward it

the prize to be won

The first blueberry cobbler

sitting high on the table

it was too far away

for my attempts to be able

After some begging

a serving given to dine

the introduction to a delicacy

a lifetime favorite of mine

Guilty: A Blueberry Cobbler Caper

Post author By pipersadventures9

16 Comments on Guilty: A Blueberry Cobbler Caper

Out of the oven

the cobbler cooled

sending out sweet aromas

causing senses to drool

Glancing to the left

and then to the right

looking for an opportunity

the future looks bright

The edge of the table

oh so close

peering around the corner

no time to boast

Time to strike

pulling at the table cloth

the prize falls down

quietly landing like a moth

Oh so good

savoring every bite

guilt shown with blueberries

a remarkable site

Now caught with the prize

running away with delight

spreading blueberries everywhere

giving few people a fright

Sleeping now

after enduring the wrath

there was some laughter

and a pleasant bath

Complication: An Imaginary Aerial Show

9 Comments on Complication: An Imaginary Aerial Show

Racing through the sky

clouds scattered about

he rises to the occasion

gives a shout

Aerial stunts

the crowd gives a cheer

turning around in circles

there is no fear

Suddenly the engine roars

there is a complication

smoke coming from the engine

a fearful occasion

Taking water in hand

he maneuvers the hose

the fire is out

to the occasion he arose

One last stunt

a flip in the air

the show is closing

ending with a flair

Taking a bow

a trophy in hand

waving to the cheers

dancing with the band

Taking his leave

in the midst of the commotion

enjoying life

with great emotion
