Premium Member Stronger Than We Think
We are stronger than we think
Ups and downs of everyday will never go away 
What didn’t kill us yesterday 
Won’t send us to our grave tomorrow or today

Resiliency develops over time 
We are stronger than we think 
Even when days seems like a grind 
Building...

Premium Member The Poet's Faculty Meeting
Faculty meeting. Formidably flippantly fortuitously fluffy and forgetful.
I began to write a little list of F words, because I was in the F word mood.
Frilly. Free-ha-ha. Feast. Forget-me-knots. Fallacy. Farming. Fastidious. Fun-filled.
What are you doing? A non-friend asked me. She had already broken my chain...

Premium Member Ode To Carol Brown - Redux
Consistently sincere 
rock solid.
Formidably weathering trite storms.
Carol your dedication
exemplifies
exemplification.

Whether shocked or soothed there you are
discerning
smart
shrewd
kind

You know your own mind.

The Cheshire cat's toothy grin
has nothing on you.

Inspired to repost by Giorgio's 2/5/14 blog.  Thanks, G!...

The Nana Hex
Every time I get happy
the Nana-Hex 
comes through.
A dog's canines 
change into chainsaws,
toothpicks turn into knives,
coral reefs diverge into dirty sponges,
a sandcastle into a mausoleum,
a soldier-ant burrows deeper
into my borrowed grave,
reveille trumpets tap 
a tip-toed timpani of
disenchanted malevolence;
all for the Nana-Song.

I am eleven.
I am naked.
I...

Facade
Halfway through learning life you find therein the games
Played by the oblivious and those who made names 
Then your simplicity in view begins being challenged 
As make believe is by hard facts rearranged
That society is both with and without bearing 
For the old warmongering and...

Premium Member The Grime Reaper
The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep

His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious heap
From last night’s hard work of collecting souls in the...

Premium Member Lighthouse Am I
Amidst waves with their varied intensities 

Beyond disasters and catastrophes

Contending and prevailing over calamities

Determined am I to do my mission for seafarers

Effectively warning against ocean-caused wreckage 

Fulfilling my role as good guide...

Guarding and governing toward right route

Here I stand formidably, helping save precious lives

Influencing triumphant...

Powerfully asserted by God’s preserved Word*

With heartfelt praise-filled gratitude
While testifying about His great wonders
Of triumphant awesome glory!

Built on precepts for character-formation

By the Sea
In their youth two have met 
on a playgound with swings and sand.  
Their paths were crossed many a time,  
love blossomed to great dimensions 
Till the day of recognition when he said, 
"You must be mine.
As sailors of old, they have set...

Premium Member Frantically Fruitful Freshly Free
Fruitful faeries flying freshly frightenly faraway
Flashing flea-bitten furry fireflies fantasy fey,
Faux flash-dancing flowery figs flowing flippantly free,
Ferocious fierce foursome fruit-flies flying fantasy’s flea.
	
Fast-fingered flicker formidably frugally fit flexible.
Frosting frilly flounder’s fluorescent fetish fully fixable.
Fanciful freckled fathomably frosted filly fibs flitting,
Fashionable forcefully fanatical farmhand fuzzily fretting.

Fun-loving,...

break …

my heart?
you did not break my heart
you COULD not break my heart
I utilized all the “Yous” that came before
constructing barriers that you,
in your most formidably malodorous
and vehemently vile self,
couldn’t penetrate in an eon of eons,
whether scratching away with those nasty,
nacreous nails, (that have left...

The Echo Chamber
So, the glistening aim noticeably passes by,
So, the dangerous motion formidably goes by,
So, the unknown one remains unknown for the time being,
So, one is ahead of the petty singing. 

The one and only is good-natured and well-behaved,
He is favoured and well-blessed.
Though the great Guide is...

I Will Languish
My heart has these many dwellings
such dead cold cautionary tales
long disregarded and condemned.

And then there is this secret palace
eclipsing all true loves desolation
where deep resides your essence.

A rapture of all your many graces
this mansion of your many riches
this residence of many memories.

And then there is...
