Quacking Crackers
Donald Duck Chancellor of this fowl kingdom 
wearing an upside down smile's raging hypocrite backwards 
this deranged Duck twitters to and fro as his unhinged subjects 
unwittingly applaud him onto a victory march that never appears equal 
except in his alternate universe of oneness

More Than a Crush
I first saw you at the funfair
Joy and laughter were high in the air
It felt like more than a crush.

Caught a sight of you walking at the mall
Nearly caused my heart to fall 
It was more than a crush.

Then I saw you sitting by the...

toffee apples
     tasted so sweet

Premium Member It'Ll Be Ok
Don’t worry.

The head of British Gas
will take a pay cut.
Your favourite watering hole
will never shut.
There may be acid rain
because the ozone layer is kaput,

But someday
it’ll be OK.

Don’t worry.

Elvis Presley will announce
that he is well and truly dead.
You will be given a wage
to stay in bed.
There...

I Am Who I Am
I am sensitive, self-conscious,
Nervous, listless, anxious,
Caught up in the grind of life
Its stress and its strife.

With no goal, no aim, no purpose,
Oh, just living a life I suppose;
Not sure there's a God or a soul
Or in His grand design my role.

Bitter, cynical and regretful,
Not wise...

Groundhog day 2024 or Forty one days since 2023 Winter Solstice
Groundhog day 2024 or Forty one days since 2023 Winter Solstice

Rather than be a day late
and dollar short, I opted   
to post poem acknowledging
the second of February,
where eponymous groundhog
gets his (most often male)
foretelling whether there will be
six more weeks of winter upon oblate
spheroid...

Premium Member Carousel
The funfair was in full swing.
And why not, now it was Spring.
To the carousel, Ella and me,
We tried to find a horse that was free.

Places on horses were taken by all
Except for one, it was a windfall.
Ella sat in front, holding the sturdy pole
Whilst I...

The Dazed Dingo Dance Concerto
Whether working wallabies would weave waved warm wafers or whether wallpaper would wear walls is two times a question really. It is rational to assume that an ass jacket would dart over a yak and a yam would appear. At intervals. Rotating. But rotating is...

Not Fun, Not Fair
He looked like a gypsy.
All brown curls and dark eyes,
small sparkling white teeth.

How could I resist him?
The heartbeats and goosebumps 
girly giggling betrayed

Swept up by the funfair,
Bright lights and promises of
Dizzying, dazzling, delights,

eagerly I entered the tunnel.
It turned out dark and cold.
No nurturing light there.

Only...

Chicago Spring
After the dreary, dismal cold days of winter,
Bogged down by mounds of snow, 
Chicago, the indomitable city,
Dogged by ears-flapping, bone-chilling winds,
Emerges like a blooming flower 
Fostering liveliness, sensuality,
Gaiety and grandiose funfair.

Hot, sizzling and sassy summer aside;
Invigorating spring first arrives and
Jogging along the Lakefront trail or
Kicking...

Downward Spiral
depression reduces me down to my knees,
cant seem to see the woods for the trees.
Allways on edge with a sence of tension,
paranoid thaughts to vast to mention.

Inside my head my mind runs riot,
allthough i percive a charictor of quiet,
forever picking faults with ones self,
a deteriation...

Africa, a Land of Childhood
This is a land of lands where dreams
are planted in the longing eyes of a child.
Lives are redefined for societal upliftment,
children build castles in the seashore and
watch the passage of tradition and culture
from the custodians to the younger ones. 

We speak of those tales under...

Premium Member Holiday Memories
Off we go we’re on the train
We’ve packed all we could pack
We’re both so excited
As the train rolls down the track

We’re both bouncing on the seats
Till mum tells us to SIT!
There’s rain upon the windows
But we don’t mind that a bit

We can’t wait till we...
