Premium Member Elvis Aaron Presley
The legendary teen idol Elvis Aaron Presley
was criticized for his gyrations, expressly.
And yet, this shooting star went supernova,
morphing into a teenage Casanova.

When this Memphis boy began to croon
he'd wildly grind his hips to the tune;
and flashing his ice-blue eyes,
he'd generate tears and sighs; 
while making...

We Sisters Three
We sisters three
Do so decree
That these men
Know their sin.

Reaz, you mortal Fool
Illy was your sacred Jewel.
How could you endlessly cheat 
And lead her on with such deceit?

We sisters three
Do so eloquently decree
That these foolish men
Never ever hurt again.

Lamar you are a lazy bum.
To crack you...

Hear ye, hear ye: Listen to my timeless presentation
If you'd like to conquer anger, irritation, or vexation.

My name is Emerson, Ralph Waldo if you please,
I founded Transcedentalism, creating a fresh breeze
Which elevates and fortifies an individual's will and spirit,
To withstand provocations intended expressly to smear...

School Dazed
Stress is an
Understatement when it comes to the
Mine field called school.
Millions and millions of children and teachers
Expressly waiting for the last
Ringing of the school bell

For the year.
Understanding the price of the diploma; but, wanting
Nothing more than that "hot break"....

Sun and Moon Flowers, 1890
I know belamour means lover;
but a flower too is defined.
Webster puts it undercover -
a flower, who knows what kind?

Gertrude Stein penned famous words we've heard,
"A rose is a rose is a rose."
Smelling a rose, our minds are stirred,
but a belamour? no nose knows.

Meet the artist...

She's Some Kind of Poetry - -
She's reckless and cautious

     in the same breath,

sensibly abstruse and uninhibited

       elusively in your face,

introspective in her extroversion

  expressly shy when she wills to be,

    rapture in the mist

Cloud's Layover
Reality is a ***** of a mistress
  everyday feels like a negotiation,
should be like a babbling brook
  over silken-like pebbles instead of
      sucking acrid marrow's gritty pith,
hardly expecting smooth sailing each
   day nor Disneyland phantasmagoria,

MAGIC IS THE MIND 

Poetry is to poets a fantasy world,
You can say the truth or be absurd,
You can travel to Venus if you like,
Go by rocket ship or merely  hitch hike,
Anything is possible in poetry land,
Fly a kite or play in the sand,
Go...

Singletary Hill
Expressly of my hopes and dreams, the passion in my heart
These words I now declare to you, a token for my part
I’m saving all my kisses up, just one dream to fill
Soon I will deliver them on Singletary Hill

One day I will marry you under...

Ablaze - Part Three
[Continued from Part Two]


The elder took no notice of risking life and limb.
Hither, thither ran the children, glancing up at him,
while indulging mindlessly in each impulsive whim,
with no apprehension of the future looking grim.
Their chances for salvation seemed increasingly slim…
That aged man’s deep compassion filled...

Premium Member Do It Now
The night I sat at the bedside of a dear friend's dying sister,
A poem was conceived in my heart and mind, unlike anything
that I had ever experienced. Words of inspiration were being
formed inside of me in the form of words coming from the heart
and lips...

Premium Member House In the Storm
The storm wages on within the dark sky
Dark grey clouds have erupted there within
Rain does spurt downward nailing the soft ground
Damaging that of nature and my skin

It’s hard to see ahead to that old house
With just a single dim light on upstairs
To frighten those onlookers...

~WOUNDED~


Please forgive me...


Sometimes th' hardships of life,devour Th' Lamb within
Strife n' cares of this world,often render me carnal
Pain and past failures,exhume hideous expressions of hate
Animosity it seems,pacifieth these insurrections too surely


Pardons are non~existant,in these upheavals of melancholy
The abandonings of my love,leaves my soul segregatious
Reckoning runs...

Premium Member A Reassessment of Differing Views
Some feel that Bible verse conclusively
Describes all life explained through liturgy.
Some feel that evolution holds the key
With science leading forth explicitly.

Positions juxtaposed perceptibly:
A purist view of Life's conformaties -
A prescient view of Life's complexities -
Could one more view assuage disparities?

What do papyrus texts in fact...
