From the National Poet of Slovenia In a Language People Understand - the Ruins of the Ancien Regime
Farewell, then, AUKN boss,
The next this year makes three.
By the time they find a substitute,
Slovenes will be at sea.

He tried to cover his behind;
AUKN boss of bosses,
As every week, balances grew bleak:
He weighed merits and losses.

With all this he'd no time to eat,
And round and...

Pet-Sit Panics
***Crazy Menagerie***


I definitely bit off more than I could chew,
when I came a-running to my friend's rescue
He said it was no big deal, a real snooze actually
to just please, please look after his cutie menagerie

He said everything was pretty much self-explanatory
just feel at home, and...

The Flies and the Bees

The sun has risen and set; another season has been resolved
and many acts of aggression that might never be absolved
No podium will be awarded for the deletion of kick the can
Unfortunately, we all now see, the true measure of that man

Tear It Apart
Go on break its heart, don't be shy, ask it why
was it said in that way and not another?
Or maybe why the hell you even said that anyway?
A poem enters a boxing ring
gets beaten up, yet in the end
the loser is a winner,
the pummeling has...

Premium Member Possessive Perspectives
being number one
wiggles underneath the rock
a spade descends

being number two
hides behind the rock
a foot falls

being number three
lays on top of the flat rock
skin to stone

being number four
perches atop the rock
shells crack

being number six
flies over  the rock
guano falls


*who are the beings [do you see them...

Premium Member Monument To the Old Me
Lurking amongst shabby, impenetrable, undergrowth,
cloistered effigy is sheltered from casual view,
languishing, neglected, forgotten... but content.

No longer possessing a name; no longer serving a purpose;
whatever inscription once etched thereupon is
long-since faded, lost to the whimsical wisps of time.

In bygone years, its bronze cheeks would be flushed;
embarrassed,...

The Adventures of Enea, Part 9 of 13
Points Above and Below the Line
(Enea Canonises Catherine of Siena)

It's not a thing we go for any more, 
that hierarchy malarkey, but in fact 
the medieval mind set mega store 
by stairs and ladders. All things interact, 

and therefore can be neatly classified. 
(There's endless...

Got to get that cheese pronto

Those that talked guano

Got hit with an uppercut combo

mano a mano


I had a dog named Bronco

And landlords named Helga and Poncho


Knew this lady that lived in a condo

And worked at Costco


Cargo

Being shipped worldwide, even garbanzo



Jane and John Doe

Still trying to...

Sonnet To Carlsbad Caverns
Antibacchic Meter

Deep cave, stalactites, stalagmites adorn thy black hollows where
flowstone with cave made gems lie like pearls placed by far sea oysters.
White colored calcite runs grace thy walls, limestone tubes yea show here.
You seem sphere alone having wetsome ever present old moistures.
See thy huge chambers...

Premium Member Sylvia's Surrender
Well Everyone, My Arch Nemesis Sylvia Has Blocked Me, 
so I in return have done the same with she. 
As my good friend Amy said, "Let her wallow in her own guano." 
Now that makes sense to me.

Sigh, I'm going to miss you Sylvia ...
