Blood is the elixir, the potion,...

Premium Member Sunny Afternoon
There we sat, a sunny afternoon The barbie lit, not quite enough flame Her father fans it, wife tries to explain Happy families. Two language game I’ve nothing in common, forgotten their name. I let myself go, release my sarcastic mood We’re all inane smiles personified polite He’s waving at the barbie dust on the food My wife hangs on to her rage...

Premium Member Barb Wire Fence
Barb wire fence ---I stand in front of a barb wire fence --- As they taunt as always, from the other side People who have returned with the dark clouds Thinking I will stupidly try to cross the fence You still haven’t learned, I suppose you never will Pathetic words spewed about, echo in fierce wind Blowing, just as you need...

Premium Member Rouge Barb / Spring Sours
From within the frost-frozen, bare-boarded, shed within its loosely hung zee-braced door agape the spring light peeked. Warming the woodsheds King’s pine planks toasting the ten penny nails popping the planks to a toe-stubbing height. Door slamming dashes through the obstacle course of cord, tinder, rake and hoe; to the semi attached outhouse. Draws half down, butt bitten by March’s wind; the two holer waits,...
