Surfing the tides of life
Surfing the tides of life I'm still riding the waves duck diving my way through Or occasionally having to ask for a hand and toe in when I need to, Sometimes I'm amped and pop up and ride a perfect ten without any hassle, I can make it, I'm charging, it's as if I'm a...

Premium Member The Barrel of Little Monkeys
"The Barrel of Little Monkeys" Gorilla warfare took a new turn, when the children like chimps, followed the voice of their Overlords; they adored them once, but then, some things can NEVER be forgiven. The number like www drew their parents in first, and then, what’s worse, it drew them in, those little monkeys out of the barrel, shotgun Candide Diderot. ‘24 ...

Premium Member In a Barrel
The Poconos was not the premiere honeymoon spot. The delivery, not far from the rushing rainbow knot. Not anywhere, near my entrance, when love calls. I might have gushed out, in a barrel, over the falls. Could I navigate the canal, the Erie? Where do I land? Amidst the history of bible hacks and medicine - withstand, as generations were...

Bottom of the Barrel
Imagine a standard barrel of crude oil – 42 gallons. The barrel unit of measure dates back to 1859 When Pennsylvania oil wells were first drilled And the wooden ‘tierce’ wine cask Holding 42 gallons and weighing about 300 pounds Was about all one man could maneuver. Today, a barrel of crude oil sells for about eighty dollars, About half the retail...

Songs From a Barrel
I’m a ‘bar-back’, I stack, I pull up the crates, unpack and rack. I hump boxes of glasses in, then I hump them out again. I roll barrels into a hand-cranked elevator, then roll the empties into the club cellar where they now lay stinking. The dude who’s supposed to hose them out, has skipped. In this town a citizen was chopped up, and left...

Premium Member Sharing Laughter and My Barrel of Blue Monkies
I am drawn to your form -why is it yours? Perhaps just a chemical bond forged in youth life's true mystery, You and I.. the errant sleuth. Decided now, no perfect moment -now or hereafter without one in yours.. no finer mind, no brighter laughter.. Spill out my barrel of blue monkies on your floor -you remember, don't...

The Last Barrel
Like wine, these older days are vintage Aging, as each days number declines Ripe in the tannin of what remains Rich in the sweetness of time now past The vines to wither —in memory lost (The New Room: May, 2021)...

Hazy, Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer
Hot, humid, hazy Weather's driving me crazy Making me lazy Need a draft of cool To rejuvenate this fool Roll out the barrel No draft of cool air Roll out the barrel of beer Draft of ale my dears! So my health won't fail Lift up your glasses my friends Toast each other, cheers!...

I guess that I could bring myself to become grateful, for those nights when the moon would shine brighter just because of you. Maybe I should even pray That one day you may receive Everything I wish you would have given me....
