Gravity

Mindlessly walking with shoes untied,
but gravity could not be defied -
he tried to grab hold,
to person or pole –
crashing down hard onto his backside!

Premium Member Cries of Our Lives

Whispering sweet desires in tearing
giggling, we forget of we're laughing
tummy sweet button does taste so yummy,
How do these moments lead right up to now?

Tasting your lips, something ever lasting,
treats of your seduction to say the least,
fingers wander to love songs from singers
blasts from window won't shiver how heat lasts,

Lust come from sweetness and not the dry crust,
wetness from your lips, absolute sweetness,
Eye sweet locked with mine, until day I die,
dancing to the beat of serenity

Ghostly are which, where  times were costly,
Precious softly girl, precociously

No Blimp Equals Pickle In Pub

Golly, what a Pickle you’re In -- Bub,

Gullible -- You look, Pimp
for why not hop, on Blimps?
and Fly in its Massive Ruba-dub.

Syllable Counting

Counting syllables is a pain in my rear
Obnoxious divisions to which I must adhere
Understanding them is not clear
Never one to learn much in school
To post good poetry, I must follow the rule.
