Premium Member Devilment is Afoot
Leaves of the oak trees congregated in clumps of whispering soldiers A devilment was afoot; the fey felt this and scurried to the meadow. Someone was dragging a heavy sack into the darkest shadows. The night shuddered, recognizing the evilness of the scoundrel. Perfect place to hide a body, most agreed. Those who were brave to look. Others hid behind...

Evildoers Afoot
Look in the chamberpot There you will find Some agent of darkness The Foul Fiend left behind The sordid element The secrets they keep And the dank crannies Wherein they do creep There is no sin so scarlet That they will not partake They would pawn their own mothers For foul pharmacy's sake Note that these scoundrels Have fallen from grace Even beasts of the field Loath the sight of...

CORONA'S AFOOT; GIVE TO THE POOR Before Corona there were rich and poor, Developed countries and developing ones, Individuals knocking on fortune's door, While others were her daughters and sons. On arrival, Corona ransacked the space, Shattering with baton in hand! Every economy she would deface! No language did she understand! Wealthy countries were hardest hit, While the most vulnerable better fared. No nation had a...

Premium Member Hawaii Prepares, Hurricane Afoot
E'er so oft the presence of breeze displays, Through fluttering leaves of trees and branch sways, A course, whereto, not set by the seasons, 'Tis the calm fore the storm being its reasons. Days fore this, unbearable sweltering, Heat intensity, felt so blistering, 'Twas shirtless men and loosely topped women, It hit every locale, all was smitten. In the distance, churning and swirling...

Premium Member What's Afoot
A session with my chiropodist Is an occasion not to be missed. We speak of recipes and cruise ships And other folks' relationships And pension plans and how to lose weight And allergies and things we hate And Christmas plans and hip replacements, And politics and financial statements, And things from childhood we remember, Like scaredy cats on the fifth of November And what it...
