New Years Eve poem -- HAPPY NEW YEAR to all

A spine poem:

 
Master of the Game
 
A willing Victim
Claiming his wedding night
Last snow

Seagulls I Have Known ~~ a poem for Tuesday Platform

Seagulls I Have Known
 
Seagulls I have known, so near, so far 
They have entered the door of my life
Follow me and my ship, I travel
Others stay at home, contentedly
 
~ ~ ~
 
Seagulls I have known, so near, so far 
Some I have never seen, Face Book friends 
Birthplace or distant lands they have moved 
Living next door, neighbors never met
 
They have entered the door of my life 
In some way, somewhere, our matters touch
Staying for life, days or day, an evening
We laugh, we cry, we love, we may part
 
Follow me and my ship, I travel 
Looking for food, scraps or fish been stirred 
Perhaps their own bellies first, hunger
Or loving others their life's purpose
 
Others stay at home, contentedly 
They, no burning desire to travel
or move away, stay close in comfort
Them a must visit, friendship fire tend 
 
~ ~ ~
 
Some gulls wander, beach's sinking ships 
Age Matters, little ones and unborn
Older ones half forgotten or gone
Others strayed for play, delicacies  

~ ~ ~ 
~ ~ ~
 
Some gulls wander, beach's sinking ships
Beckoned by the lure of the unknown 
But their rusted ship nowhere will go
Wisdom tells, from these ships stay away
 
Age matters, little ones and unborn, 
perhaps a grandchild, bright their future
Teens and young adults guidance give them
Parents.  All their flights can use our light
 
Older ones half forgotten or gone 
Loved, in our hearts remain, memories
Role models for us, knew where the fish, 
when to dive, with patience they waited
 
Others strayed for play, delicacies 
Fulfilling inborn adventure lust
We love them still, wish for their content
And envy them not, our life our own
 
~ ~ ~ 
~ ~ ~
 
Seagulls I have known, touching my life 
Blessings they've been or projects for me
Friends the most, fleeting or here to stay
Their flights, my path, delicately merged

Ride a painted pony

Ride a painted pony
catch the wind, hang on tight
The pony does his best
to give you a nice ride

Ride a painted pony
He'll take you where you want 
Wherever you want to go
Up town, down town, or home

Ride a painted pony
You'll get to know him well
Perhaps the best friend yet
Feel his kiss slobber filled

Ride a painted pony
Some are painted colors
you've not dreamed, red, blue, green
This horse goes round and round

Ride a painted pony
Some will ride theirs to school
Really nice show and tell
Kids will love him, covet

Ride a painted pony
You will out live him sure
That's the plan God has set
Makes us love our pet more

Flash poetry, "Little Snowbird"

 Little Snowbird 

Little snow bird, where do you go?  

Sitting warm here on the plaza, 
I'd like to know where all you go 

Dressed so fine, tight short shorts of white 

Every step you take, every bite 
you eat, I want to watch them all 

Hiding from the snow and its drifts 

Here in the sunshine strutting fine 
White shorts shapely legs, nice turn-on 

Here on my Plaza bench, Christmas 

Tree sanctified,  there's room for you 
Music's Latin beat, we can dance 
Ask Mama? May I take you home?
