Premium Member Abbreviated Slide and Crawl

Check out Darwin Barney's abbreviated slide and crawl into third
It's on YouTube, even Darwin laughed at himself, how absurd
For all the Blue Jays fans
Got them off their hands
Worth the admission, a fun spot in a dismal year for the birds

Abbreviated Rant

Slander my work
Disregard my views
Disgrace my ideas
It only proves my point
Our society is set up to destroy
Not people, that would be too obvious
But people, their minds and souls
In ignorance and doubt
You can't do this
You can be this
You aren't smart enough
You aren't rich enough
Embrace the material 
Do your job
Pay your taxes
Play nice with others
Shut up and sit down
Like good sheep
Like good ants
Like good slaves
Good

Blustery Winds-Abbreviated Crown Haikus-My Own Style-

Blustery winds blow outside 
so cold. 
Minus thirty-four wind chill 
so cold. 
Fingers freeze within seconds 
so cold. 
Trees covered in ice, shiver 
so cold. 
I can't wait for the Spring's warmth 
so cold.

I am getting tired of being in this deep freeze. It's been nothing, but, cold here in the Maritimes. I went to Timmy's last nice and almost froze to death on the walk there and back home. I did, however, stay there for a couple of hours and post poetry to warm up. :O)


Blowing Wind -Abbreviated Haiku-

Wind stops for a brief moment 
then strikes.

We're in the middle of a blizzard. High winds and snow. We have snow drifts adding up, but not a lot of snow around the doors or driveway.

Premium Member Abbreviated Whisper

In brevity of time
God aroused my soul aside.
While enraptured in this moment,
Deity, had so rapidly,
Stripped away my sinful pride.

Abbreviated Irony

I have often thought it ironic
If not positively absurd
That the term, abbreviated
Is an eleven letter word
