Flammer me gimbels, me trimbels and dromies,
Whenceforth I caminal scrabbit thy foamies.

Awake
AWAKE!

Forebear I beg if I am found obtuse
Not turning from the indigent I see
Should I aver egregious a view
They be ascribed a sloth delirium

My comments here may seem not delicate
Yet if I choose travail  to consecrate
Would you in intercession mediate
Bring those in need restored...

Premium Member My Family Tree
Explorin' the branches of the family tree can be rather dicey.
Some ancestors could be famous, humdrum er downright spicy!
With bated breath I decided to take the risk and check around.
I wasn't all that enthralled about some of the dudes that I found!

Seems that in the...

A Trip To the Zoo
People come to stare at animals there.
With no time to spare, they rush everywhere.
Moms and babies share as she gives them care.
Elephants declare their presence with flare.
Critters with long hair jump to trees midair.
Dangers anywhere, zoo signs say, “Beware.”
Alligators pair; together ensnare.
Flamingo welfare wades near...

Extravagant Love
Why do they come to call
Those men who lack in passion
Why do they bother at all
If their blazing fire be rationed

So piercing so radiant
The fumbling for words
An intimate clumsy rhythm
Lyrics sweet melody unheard 

Captivate my heart with exaggerated life
Like a summer wind playing in my...

Exploring the branches of the family tree can be rather dicey.
Some ancestry could be famous, humdrum or downright spicy!
A feller I know decided to take the risk and check around.
I'm not so sure that he was all that pleased with what he found!

Seems that in...

Uncle Jack
Uncle Jack 
Was in the army 
We have the photographs 
To prove it 
Although the S badge 
Attached to the band 
Around his peaked hat 
Suggests blood and fire 
Rather than guns and ammo 

I should have realised 
Unlike our common forebear 
Scottish Montrose 
None...

Premium Member Their Kind
In Japan the small is much revered, 
transformed within the womb of heart and mind
to grandeur never gained by those who fear
what is unseen, unsaid, what’s left behind.

A leaf, a sheaf, a treasured grief in kind  
becomes a shrine the living must repair, ...

What is in a name?  If you were an arid desert rose in bloom
A flourishing garden would be transformed in my womb
Weaving greenery of verdant emerald green whom
Embraced by Love’s profound budding existence will groom 
Fashion Buds not of the desert or garden in...
