A Candid Rainscape
I watch the water trickle down my blank canvas,
The whole world is crying today...

      Nature has water-washed the Earth green, 
    The land looks fresh, as if awakened by a magic touch,
  I trace the cold...

Fat Santa sneaked out of the shop
With bags full of sweets and a cake
The salesgirl screamed out: “Call a cop!
That man dressed as Claus is a fake!”

Smile You'Re On Candid Camera
In God's image we were made, and to God all the Glory
Thus lucifer became dismayed in not liking this story
Of the angels he took a third coming down to the Earth
And because all of this occurred we have Jesus's Birth

Just one of many worlds that...

Premium Member Candid Lines To a Septuagenarian's Lonely, Lovely Lass

Food, ale, smoke, sleep, and solitude—
     these are the things which I live for.
Provide for me lamb barbecued, 
     and I'll demand of you no more!

O lovely lass, whatsoever's the matter—
     why so...

Here are some fun things that happened
On that classic Candid Camera show
A man walked backwards on a sidewalk
People copied him, wouldn't you know?

A man wearing only tighty whiteys
Asked the hotel clerk for a room
A street cleaner starts cleaning the gutters
With a broom handle but missing...

Candid Beauty
Candid beauty made of gold
True, your beauty never gets 
old,
Many stories have been told
By so many,you've been loved,

True,your eyes elate my wish;
Oh....Your kissed, lavish
Levitate me to my dreams;
Nothing really what it seems

Only you is my dream-wish

In humans narcissity, indifferent continually partly?
Caring effacing cursing raving 
In-continuity..' Maybe? Am I trite? 
Light entertainment;T V trials expose's
Speak of sensuality, tease by promiscuity
In a questionable proximity a proxy place
An invisible divide.. Presides rabidity 
This is a worn; worm eaten valuless society
That only wants the...

Premium Member Candid Capture Trimeric
Not quite the version of real time,
caught calm in a candid capture;
At once the art fades away,
burned from memory into a filter;

Caught calm in a candid capture;
A  moment ago you were boiling,
finale fireworks on the Fourth of July;

At once the art fades away,
left in...

A funny thing happened on my way to work
Was stopped by a down and out man
Asked if I could spare a ten bucks for a coffee
Ten bucks could buy a whole damn can!

Said he didn't want to keep on bugging me
Every day when we met...

Candid
Every poem,
Is only worth a damn,
If it captures my genius.

So rare,
So demanding to do.
My genius knows no limits,
So many poets, 
With so obvious limits,
Could not hope,
To capture the purity of brilliance,
That is me.

The oceans, skies, clouds, emotions
Sensations,
That I am not feeling,
Are not worth exploring.

A Candid Doormat
A Candid Doormat 

By Elton Camp 

Welcome mats are usually a lie
There’s another version I’d try
Rather than “Welcome,” It’d say
Simply and truthfully, “Go Away”

Especially those who “drop in”
Be they relative or “friend”
“I guess I should’ve called first”
“Yep,” under my breath, I cursed

“No, I’m real glad...
