Premium Member Tie-rant-a-sour-us Rump

a tyrant soar-ass
press-a-dent dump

now wants to
f--- up canada

and crap his
uselessness

on americas
closest friend

he's just a spoiled child

companies test
applicants practicality

and psycho-logical
minds before hiring

but a circus clown now
has the macro-phone

and as america's leader
continues to introduce

his political  dye-area
in one form or another

Dear


        Dear 

No aim,
No ambition,
Lazy moments.

I have earned this simple, carefree life through my own honesty and hard work.

Let me be a humble, easygoing soul—dear to everyone, with all calling me their dear friend.

With love to all,
Jagdish Bajantri


The Silent Decay

Like termites, grief crept in and quietly grew,
A smiling face hid what the heart went through.

A lifetime crowded with memories untold,
I spoke just one name—and my heart lost control.

A dream stayed alive in my eyes for so long,
Till the fire of your memory burned it all wrong.

The branch where hope had built a nest so bright,
Was swallowed by autumn and stripped of its light.

Among those I called mine, I still stood alone,
As every soul changed in the molds time had shown.

The rain washed away every face's disguise,
And a city of deception changed before my eyes.

Then came the miracle born from the art I knew:
The pain in my heart became words that rang true.

Sagar, what a strange twist this life had revealed—
One lie brought the heat that left my whole home peeled.

Premium Member Liebe nicht mich


If you love wealth, do not love me
For there are many who are richer than me

If you love beauty, do not love me
For there are many who are more beautiful than me

Yet if it is love that you love, only love me
For there is no one who loves you more than I.

Premium Member Dapper Smoking Lion

Dapper smoking lion has a cough that shakes the room
The nicotine wafting out of his pores gives a little zoom
His hoarse cough is enough to scare a vampire bat way
I cannot be here much longer, I cannot bear to stay


Bed of dreams

I lay resting in a bed of dreams,

as time slipped away.
Heavy with the world's grief,
weakness awaits me—

laziness settles in my skin,

while all around, the spirit falls still.
About this poem

A hundred miles

I looked close —
Through the earth's leaves

It all wakes_
From a blink
The shattered Pleiades

rising; The moon-shadow
Encircling;wide awake n the dark

Never say never

Ngangaphantsi kwendawo yamaphupha kulele umjikelo wovuyo,

yet the light reveals the doorway of purpose and intention.
Uphazamiseko olukhulu lwenza umda wesiseko:

the ultimate destination, the crucial point,

usuku apho ikhaliphe elingcwele lifika ngovuyo olukhulu.
Ede eendleleni ezimangalisayo, ilitye elinexabiso liyakhanya—

a person’s highest calling, the core of their soul.

Unapologetic me

I am not ashamed.this trembling body is not to be shaken,
Compromised and body not to regret oneself.
Have a friction.be someone who is intense.
To be points to the person and fierce.
Refusing to ask for forgiveness,
And I refuse to ask for forgiveness.

The rebel

Mogogi wa mogodu —

The guide has led us to ntwa ya tsogo.
Moferefere ya sesole!
Popomfsa… go kwa khutso?

No.
Kgotso is here.
Boemo bjo bo sa suthego:
It will not move.
It cannot break.

Thlokego ya merusu —
That is the goal.
Poloko ya ntwa must be the end.

Premium Member bull frogs magic lily pad

Bull frog trained his lily pad like a magic flying carpet ride
It took him in and out the trees, giving berth very wide
Sometimes he rode it to outer space to see Jupiter and Mars
They also landed once a week on an asteroid near the stars

Premium Member Marie and Orie

Marie shares her banana daily with Orie, an orangutan
He liked no other human, only her, no other child or man
They sit and converse silently, sharing their food with each other
She sometimes wonders if Orie thinks she might be his mother

Premium Member TINY PRAYERS

God’s morning paints the world in gold,
and little birds begin to sing~
they know His love wakes everything.

Quiet wind tiptoes through the trees,
whispering blessings as they pass~
tiny prayers in dewy grass.
