Premium Member Skinny Girl Cat Suspects Something is Amiss
Skinny girl cat was horrified When she finally realized She looked more human than cat, her reflection was petrified. How can this be? She asked her ma who lied. No idea, her mother said. She knew her husband and preferred to not be dead. Why you look more human, is odd as lead. We really do not know, her daddy said....

Premium Member Thirteen, amiss peripheral, beyond
Elevator! Take me to thirteenth floor! I'm sorry, Dave! I'm afraid I can't do that! Indeed the panel lights skip a beat, Beyond the limit of what one hand can count. Off the precipitous cliff into the valley periphery, Into the shaky, rebellious and withdrawn teens Between childhood, tears and grown-up years. A baker's dozen, a boost to some! Or the...

Premium Member Amiss a World of Violence
Amiss a world of violence with hate and greed strong I withdraw within my earthen mound refusing to belong Evil's ugly face embedded into men's souls the wickedness they gleefully in pale they hungrily show Mutilate children and wars for profits greed those who speak against it are blamed for the deeds A new world order for the richest one percent paid...

Premium Member Something Was Amiss
I strolled upon the crests of darkened hills reveling at the fragrant aroma of daffodils Suddenly, stardust glittered in a nearby field Its enchanted power was amazingly revealed. A single sunflower towered at great height Shadowed orb wide open, unusual in the night Its leaves sparkled, but could a star cause this? An unlikely occurrence ~ something was amiss. Was I imagining the...

Premium Member On Becoming a Dog
I'm starting to feel that some thing major may be amiss, when I asked myself this am where is my water dish. I truly love dogs but currently own none. Could it be possible that I am turning into one? I enjoy my exercise and like to eat alot. Some days I now pant, especially when it's hot. Most mornings I'm...

Premium Member Something's Amiss POTD
I was a successful, scientific explorer, traveling to the remote, distant lands, Bettering noble lives of many, like budding, green spring which understands. And every day held fruitful discovery, as when the autumn colors are flying, Or when milky stars begin their twinkling, before a hued sun's done sighing. My friends were also unwary explorers, and in saffron days...

Something Amiss
My life is always in a mess, Something must be amiss, I'm not living the ordinary, Things happening contrary, It all began when I was young, A better life I always yearn, Nothing seem to add up, All my life is ed d up. Left right and center, Every place I enter, All I get is a blow, When will my star glow, I'm now fit to...

The Fool Has Said
THE FOOL HAS SAID...... A human who believes there is no God And we were made from nothingness Cannot be thinking straight at all Does not know he is amiss To start with, how can he say That humans, stars, and flowers Were all the result of pure chance And not intelligent powers It takes a huge stretch of human mind To think that...

Sun Won'T Go Amiss
S-un won't go amiss, H-e will come up again; A-pril fifteenth Saturday, N-ight cold raindrops E-nd. A-n early sun won't go amiss, L-etting the light warm your heart; C-hill of the wind is over, A-s the shadows depart. N-ew dawn has broken T-o erase the haze and mist; A-fter the twilight is gone, R-ising sun won't go A-miss....

Something Amiss
Rose pink glow back on that clear face, Oranges and reds reflecting on space, Starlight bouncing on cotton fluff, Just one of those divine stuff, Swinging gently to and fro, On my swing I thought, Everything is beautiful though, Then why this sudden drought, My heart dry for some reason unknown, An indescribable hollowness sown, Chirping birds and beauty celestial, Still I am missing something essential, What...

Premium Member Be Reborn Amiss the Lotus Tree
Lo! if I Could just Just catch a breath Another chance at the tree of life Atop the Lotus tree To be rendered with remote reshaping To catch the breathe From God lips To embrace the winds. And see all the horizon Embrace me O heavenly skies Kiss me with thy spirit soul eyes Winds and clouds all see the horizon Embrace me while alone with God Breathe...

Premium Member Something Amiss
Our hopes sky high, we drove along the coast We'd ask our folks their blessing for to wed The bridge was out, perhaps the first signpost Yet neither of us felt the slightest dread... When we arrived, we felt something amiss Our parents' faces ashen, gaunt and long -- No more to thrill to love's expectant kiss ~ Our different...

Premium Member Uh Oh Something Is Amiss
There is yelling and crying Good. There is screaming. A loud wail. Great! Uh-oh. Dead quiet. I creep up, quietly To spy on them Knowing something is Up. They are four, six, And eight, Only quiet when they Are up to their most Dastardly deeds....
