Tale of Two Citizens

The pair of bi-sexual two-timing women left the duplex, too drunk to board the Twin Cities 2:22 .

Double crossed on the two way street, the duo fled New York, clutching the Tale of Two Cities....

Poem 2 for the teamwork contest

Where is the light that lived within 
Why has the flame of doubt appeared 
The trees bend slightly in the wind 
Towards darkness now have you veered
 
Focus on the things dear to you 
Where is the light that lived within 
Your day will come before it's through, 
You that...

Some have jobs that are creative and such,
Me I'm a wannabee, a hasbeen so much.

I like sittinrounddoinnuttin best of all
Waiting on tomorrow for da next phone call

Don't like the idea must be twelvelines or less
Just a couple when describing da mess

I do think its nifty for a one day challenge here,
But it dontfit da lifestyle...

I See Beyond…

I see beyond the damp, moldy roof shingling
I pay no mind to the stray cats on the stoop mingling
For I know that behind that chipped painted door 
Is a not just cape cod cottage but much more

A young girl in a dress runs through the kitchen tearing her stocking
Mother yells from the window...

Within this rhyme there hides a key I have encrypted,
Find it if you can crack the code that must be first decrypted,

Look upon a poem called "Caesar's Cipher", which I wrote,
And within it you'll find a key to unlock the following nonsensical notes:

The Toymakers Toy

I thought once Pinocchios strings had been cut, 
his wooden body turned to flesh 
and he became ‘real’

Yet, I have been cut loose from my strings, 
only to be left feeling numb,
and raw? 

I feel as though I have landed, 
like a twig that’s been thrown by a child. 
And am now, Just...

1984 or 2017 (For Contest)

I ran as far away as I could
It predicted we'd fail, that all would ...
We humans revolt against "ought" and "should."

Orwell knew better - O well, you say!
In 1948, as one War seemed to give way
To a quieter, colder one, he penned away

We are all equal, but some are more equal
Between...

I entered a contest the other day
Waited patiently for it to be judged
Oh drat - I’ve got yet another N/A
The ‘glowing comments’ I received were fudged!

So I thought I’d change my poetry style
To see if a new strategy would work...
ANOTHER N/A's added to my pile
Now I feel a complete and utter jerk!

Guess now I’ve got...

Where is the light that lived within,
Why has the flame of doubt appeared.
The trees bend slightly in the wind
Towards darkness, now have you veered.

Focus on the things dear to you,
Where is the light that lived within.
Your day will come before it's through,
You that have, not died, with sin.

Deep in your soul, you seek therein
The pleasures,...

For every person, there can be a desire
It is to touch and hold that beautiful fire.
Rageful though it can be, it can be tamed,
Even then, for destruction, it might be blamed.
It is really our fault for the destruction it caused,
And the huge fires can not (shortly) be paused.
Some people think there are deities of fire,
And...

Her heart stirred, she smiled
                                             looking at the face she loved.

Love from two ends close and fix themselves into a monolithic bond.

Jesus the lover, the helper, the saviour,
Gave his life so we'd be forgiven. 
He died for us so to repay him,
In harmony and peace we should live in. 
He loves us no matter what,
And so we should do the same. 
Towards him and all our brothers,
if we did, there would be no maim. 
He made...

on the roof
cookie crumbs
unnoticed

in the snow
long sleigh marks
excitement

joyous laugh
from window
boy and girl
