Premium Member Out In the Desert Late At Night
Out in the desert, late at night
The stars and moon are shining bright
The coyotes sing,
While crickets keep beat 
Cool night's joy, replaces heat
The owl sets out on nightly quest
"Who, whoo's my meal?" 
ever his jest
The man in the moon 
witnessed escapes
Wild dashes 
for thorn bush...

Trump and the Beaver - For Jan
Out in the woods Trump took a nap
Under an oak dripping of sap
pants to his knees
what a big sleaze
Fresh beaver still caught in his trap



*I do not endorse this message and no actual
  beavers were hurt in this poem...

Soaking You In
Out back on that old tire swing

drifting to and fro in the springtime dusk

reliving childhood memories

she swings and smiles 

free as the red breasted robin

singing love songs as she soars

from limb to limb 

in the that mighty oak tree

her hair blows silently side to side

dangling...

Premium Member Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream
Out in the sun
ice cream runs down
someone’s sad face

Fun will begin
once again, when
the chin is clean,

A few more dimes
just in time, will
buy nine more cones! 
 
Ice cream for all
as we sprawl, in
the shawl of shade

Light Into Darkness
Out of nowhere; the lights shattered
Within a moment; the darkness has filled,
My heart was no more; in a mood of lightness
My life has suddenly; twisted and disappeared.

It was like an abandon thunderstorm
Came into my life and destroyed my destiny,
I found myself in an isolated nightmare
Where...

Now Christmas in July seems crazy - I’m sure I hear you say
That has got to be plain silly - but this is the Aussie way

But in this land way ‘Down Under’ our seasons are ‘out...

Premium Member By the Grace of God
On the train that I rode today, 
into town I was on my way. 
You never know what you will see, 
out the window were clouds of gray. 




An old man came on with one knee, 
he hobbled over ~ sat by me. 
By God's...

Premium Member On Very Wet Days I Feel So Miserable
Out walking, and I need a leak
A toilet I urgently seek
There’s now’t but a bush
Oops I felt a whoosh
Wet panties - I don’t need to peek!

I contact my doctor called Emma
And explain my awful dilemma
That when I need to pee
There is such urgency
It ruins walks...

Out of Words
 Out of words

I ran out of words
so I stopped at the store
and searched every aisle and row

Pushing my cart
with a wobbling wheel
just trying to keep with the flow

Green beans and cold cuts
and dishwasher soap,
cartons of squeezed orange juice

Deodorant, hot dogs,
steak by the pound,
napkins and...

Premium Member Love's Rose
Of all flowers 
you stand out 
most beautiful 
an opening rosebud 
sweet fresh 
in blooming white
within emotions dew 

Priceless feelings 
falling kisses 
softy from 
the center out 
tasting happiness 
in sweet 
scenting petals 
one lady 
of dreams 

Fingers gliding gently 
softly touching satin 
over such...

Worthless World
In the world wide and broad 
Aborigine, distort and deform 
Out of hatred and disgust 
We kill each of us! 
Humanity dies by the hands of human 
Brutality become familiar member 
Kindness and emotions broke up with chamber  
All seems dull and dead 
No...

Premium Member My Place
I  cannot recall my very first place 
as a baby I did not know my home; 
a new baby's room dressed with pretty lace 
dad's dog was under the crib to watch~roam. 
They say the walls were all painted yellow 
the cute stuffed brown...

Premium Member The Rage
Out of the blue;
lightning bolt jabs, stabs.
Raging storm of vengeance; 
searing in the night.
I feel the horror 
of the violent tempest.

Vile angry tempest;
sky of black and blue.
A worse horror 
is a migraine stab.
It’s the longest nights, 
unending vengeance.

The eternal vengeance;
barbarian tempest;
predator of the night;
leaves me...

Premium Member The Essence of Being
Out of nothing you were called 
Molded by Love’s unseen hand
Spirit and flesh intertwined
For a purpose you are made and uniquely named
Though a minute piece, of the universe, you are,
Yet, most essential is your being          ...
