The Impermanence of Memory

Late: The square?holds its panting between
?the last bus and the first argument.

Nowhere / ‘online’ - @someone is ‘winning’..?
A face, a flag, emptiness trending; always.

We desired a just world -?rights, dignity, ‘progress’; doors?that open to merit.

Enlightenment still flashes warning
from the distant rocks - through darkling fog.?
The doors? Gone.

?it will not be alright.?
it is cold.

?the square waits: quiet, tense.?
you are here,?
so am I.

Premium Member LIFE OF ARNOLD SCHARZENEGGER

Living in Austria
Migrating to the United States
Devotion to the sport of Bodybuilding
Intensity training
Contest winning streaks
Track record of Bodybuilding meets
Change in career into movies
Hercules in New York, Stay Hungry, Terminator and much more
Movies roles after movie roles in action thrillers
Leverage into Politics
Once was the Governor in California
A name following a famous name
Accomplishment after accomplishment
Astonishment at the end
Mr. Schwarzenegger still exercises, but not the bodybuilding way
Lean and firm to stay
Mr. Schwarzenegger now promotes Bodybuilding and upcoming stars competing in the Arnold Classic on Ohio held every year
Keeping Bodybuilding alive with encouraging aspiring Bodybuilders to preserver
All bounds covered
Sensation in appreciation
What Mr. Schwarzenegger started being artistic posing became a creation from the start
Bodybuilding being the mark
I met Arnold Schwarzenegger doing his bodybuilding stunts, and he couldn’t say my name, but now he can.

Premium Member Benedict Arnold

Benedict Arnold 
took a bride
who batted her eyes,
and said, "which side?"
"the Brits?", he slowly uttered -
knowing which side his bread was buttered.


Premium Member From the Benedict Arnold Trial

"One if by land, two if by sea". 
That's what Paul Revere said to me.
But my memory's just no good, 
and sadly, I misunderstood. 
Anyway, Paul was just a spy,
and I like eating shepherd's pie.

Premium Member We Love the Nanny

We Love the Nanny

Promise me. Not a word to anyone.
I think I'm in love with the nanny.
She's young and vibrant and dark.
I'm blooming in her midnight garden.
My wires spark. My heart's ignited.
Keep it secret. Not a word to anyone.

Terminator Terminates Trump - No 2 Sides To Bigotry Nesting Doll

There is a video the Terminator - Schwarzenegger - made
Republican Racism met its match in Trump's America
U must grab hope by its peaceful TAIL; this video will give heart!
My own despair: Canada cops kill First Nations women almost daily now!
Please share this video by Arnold. He writes a two minute speech for Hitler2

Scented Leaves

When bluebells drench'd with dews of summer eves*
open their eyes, she slips from my embrace,
frowns, looking at her watch, puts the long lace
black gartered stockings on and, scented, leaves
my dreams… I wonder why she never wears
a dress. It may take neighbors unawares.

Premium Member The Arnold Red Honeysuckle

The Arnold Red Honeysuckle
Written: By Miracle Man
9/19/2018

The spring of my life was like the scent of honeysuckle,
Each morning, zephyrs brought to my nostrils, its aroma.
But now, it’s dormant and my knees begin to buckle,
And I contemplate the bestowing of my life’s diploma.

Honeysuckle, to me, was a temporary sigh of pleasure, 
While God saw a heart that was hardened as stone.
He began blessing my life beyond my ability to measure,
After bringing things to bear that caused me to atone;

Hollie Arnold

Hollie was born with no right forearm, 
In Lincolnshire on June 26th in 1994, 
But now resides in Wales, Hengoed, 
To train at Cardiff Metropolitan Uni. 

The F46 javelin category suits her, 
And she discovered herself one day, 
At a Star Track Athletics sports course, 
During one summer holidays, short. 

She competed in Beijing and London, 
And won many medals as a junior, 
So in Christchurch at the IPC Worlds, 
She took home a bronze to rub bare. 

Then in 2012 at the Euros, Holland,
She moved up a notch to win silver, 
And in Lyon at the IPC Worlds, 2013,
She threw 37.45m, a PB to win gold.
 	
2015 Worlds, and she made 40.53m,
To retain the gold and top the board,
And at Rio 2016 she found success,
When she recorded 43.01m, a gold.

Legacy of Arnold Palmer Limerick

Legacy of Arnold Palmer

What a great golfer he had been
At or below par hitting ball in
Always something about Arnold Palmer
You played more steady and were calmer
On day in heaven will see him again.

Jim Horn

Eddie Arnold At Two Am

My fingertips are black now
From the picture in the obituary
It brings me back
To the day before thanksgiving
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there at the end

My cowardice runs deep enough
To hit my bones
This town isn't big enough
To hold all of my ghosts
So lets spend tonight
Singing along to warped 45's
My sins would kill you
If you were still alive
I used to have these secrets
They ate me up inside
Now we're out in the open
A pale fires replaced my bright eyes
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there at the end
It all ends in tears anyway

Clerihew-Arnold Shwarznager

Governor Arnold Shwarznager
Pumped the iron and starred in Terminator
Lived the high life and married a queen
Shame on you now sad and mean!

Premium Member Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Was California's governator.
Should have stuck to acting
Political savvy was lacking.


Arnold Schwarzenegger
Muscle-bound terminator,
Cheated on his wife, Maria.
Waving good-bye, she said, "See-Ya".
