How Can Deep Folly, Abject Blindness Banish Hope, Part Three
How Can Deep Folly, Abject Blindness Banish Hope
(How Easily We Are Deceived, Hope Lost)
I recall darkness, creeping edges of power
ease of entry in that first forlorn hour.
No worries, as it entered with its soothing host
aye, but with one true goal, my soul to roast.
Thinking back, my guard I had foolishly let down
enters...

Banish Me To the Bookshop
BANISH ME TO THE BOOKSHOP
Chain me, so I can roam. Lock me away in this bower.
Banish me to the bookshop - i’ll enjoy this affair for hours!
First editions recline behind smudge-proof glass.
Lock-and-key lick of lips, but I can’t afford the brass
ring, the covet of unopened leather, so I’d dance
through each unshielded shelf, illuminated romance,
the touch...

Must keep reminding myself every single day
Thinking positive is absolutely the only smart way
The results will be astounding
Your heart will start pounding
Negative thoughts will vanish without delay...

Trump In the Nether Nether
TRUMP IN THE NETHER NETHER
If irate American born Mexicans were to rally together,
Around the world, they could perhaps cunningly tether,
Possibly calm, an uncaring, inhumane disliked leader
Maybe curb the actions of this Mexican bleeder,
Or, banish him forever to the land of nether, nether!

Banish Down Under
You cannot teach happiness.
It’s not attainable when being sought for.
Everyone’s on the lookout, but everyone’s missing it.
Where is it? There! Where? In front of you.
She told me, “Remember when I first met you? You we’re the happy girl, with the giggles and had a fit of smiles on your face. What...

Banish the Hate
Banish the hate from yesterday.
Don't carry it around; let it go away.
Grudges are held if you let it stay.
One way or another, your antagonist will pay.
Inside of you, hate will grow like a weed.
Bad memories are something you don't need.
inspired by another member's poem

Time Is the Thief You Cannot Banish
"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
He had a fast pace that, I couldn't figure out
he spent perks with me and made it memories
he made me regret many things
he made me realize not to waste him,
he showed me that change doesn't change
he taught me perks of living
he made me old and told me stories
he...

Banish From Spanish Was Outlandish

Subject Can Their Bad Kings Banish
Subjects can their Bad Kings banish:
Their Lords that image tarnish
By being decisive and mannish
While proving them a clannish
After bribing schnapps of the Danish
And deceiving wine the Spanish!
Subjects must the details furnish
Of the wrongs by Monarchs to banish
And if they wish some garnish
Or the entire narrative varnish!
Subjects should Terrible...

I Want To Know In Advance
If I saw the sign,
That my life is going as it should,
Then I would know exactly how
Find what is called a treasure trove.
I'm afraid I made a mistake,
And that there will be an explosion in,
Fate flashed and disappeared,
Slightly opening the future for me.
I am surrounded by eternal darkness,
And I'm afraid I won't see the way.
Although...

Religious Wounds
Don't dare joke with their doctrine
Nor raise it in a latrine
Like had tried Goofing Kathrine
Now melted like margarine!
Their Doctrine not in bathrooms:
Bathtubs never living rooms;
Their camera can scenes zoom,
As one body choose your doom!
One they won't mind battering
And one's tressure scattering;
No rowing of one's bought boat
No testing of one's new coat...
You they shall...
