Premium Member The Hero Code: Decoded
I was enthralled by each panel 
     a world in my grasp.
Comic books whisked me 
     beyond time's clasp.
Starlight's soft shimmer 
     on planets unknown,
Myths spun with heroes
     on...

The Silent Code of the Animal Farm
The tricky question of how many animal farms we have
May be more complicated than most of us think;
There are at least some fifty-five animal farms in the world
Where wild mammals play and eat and drink.

And although there lightning is feared more than law,
These farms all...

Premium Member Rewrite Your Code
“That’s just the way you’re wired”
Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box 
But most adapt over time to the environment 

Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive
To try to get our needs met and gain connection 
In order to not...

Code Red
Syrupy smoke leaks from her corner lair 
Ruby red lips lick your name in the air 
Short skirts lead any man’s mind straight to sex 
Probably any man’s instant reflex 

a Black short dress covers something in red 
Back widow spiders share this fateful dread...

Premium Member 'Doubt Is Not the Dress Code'
Don't slip into the habit of doubting yourself again
You got this far
You worked your way through stuff
Not everyone was a witness to
Tearing down walls
Setting those boundaries
Necessary ones at that 
Not everyone should be privy to what drives you
Don't doubt who you are in a world
Where...

The Success Code
Here goes the success code.
Be fit and never lose your feet
Choose your speech, keep your guard
Do not go on your knees except unto God.
Always give them your fist, 
Else you might just lose your seat.
That is my operation mode!
It is the real success code....

By thoughts at the office too lewd
So it seems normal

Make casual Friday all nude...

Dress Code


Black pencil skirt
Black pants and black shoes, black blouse that’s the dress code here all black.

To a Macys employee our dress code identifies you and where you work-Macys.

I interviewed for a job at a nearby Macys department store so….
I get a nice email saying...

Premium Member Code Talkers
My soul rejoices
For its metaphors,
Those pure and mixed;

Transforms symbols,
Veiled into Light--

We are literary:

Our stories, lives,

Encrypted by the Maker,
Deciphered by
Men and women
With ears to the earth
And eyes to the sky--

They have never forgotten
The Great Plains--
Its deep thunder of buffalo;
One with brother eagle
Respectful of thermals
And winds
Shared a...

Premium Member Some Thoughts Come In Code
When unsurpassed greed's uncontrolled
King Midas' story be told!
The steps to his stash
Cast his daughter for cash
She's an allegory of gold


Author's note: I had a vivid dream a few nights ago.  Part of it included a feeling that I needed to check my personal stash...

Morse Code
i send a message 
in a dark passage 
repetition pulse 
genetic impulse 

you do repeat back 
via a small crack 
repetitive tone 
you begin to moan 

all things stop and start 
skin not far apart 
a very hard code 
release a soft load
