Premium Member They Hang Horses, Don'T They
Once, a strange structure appeared in a barn yard
difficult not to  notice, a scaffold to hang horses
for throwing their masters
Dumb and never protesting they were led up the ramp
built like a stairway to heaven
With never any last minute salvation
No 'Pegasus' wings that sprouted from...

Home of the Hang Man
Home Of The Hang Man

The children are so full of doubt
No one is allowed to speak
No one is allowed to shout
Opinions are driven underground
Seems that every time they do it wrong
Always been the same old song
Never get it right
Never allowed to speak
Never allowed to fight

It’s...

Premium Member Hang Ten, Poets





         Don't think like an ant for a tunnel to hide.
         Imagine yourself a surfer.
         Hanging ten!

Premium Member I Do Not Hang On To Bodies
She’s dead they said!
She I thought. Who is she?
I stared straight down at a frumpy old thing.
On the bed, a lump, so dead.

Was that me? I asked my spirit guide.
My guide laughed; he always loves it
That it takes me a while to recognize my flesh...

Premium Member Hang Over
Just beneath the throat is a hot porridge
the body knocks down but still operate
heat all over, jump into the nearest fridge
sight shivers in its domain so temperate
morning light is covered by one big ridge
aches and weariness don't want to separate
from the stomach to the mouth...

Premium Member Don'T Hang Your Dreams On Me
There's no use in hanging on to something that's not yet real
So kiss me, baby, say goodbye; you know the way I feel
I'm not ready to settle down,but I  know you'd like me to try
So don't keep clinging to me, girl, I'll only make...

Premium Member Let’s Hang Upon A Star
Let’s hang upon a star 
     my friend 
And travel upon roads 
     that have no end
For today I peered upon your face 
     and reclaimed forgotten dreams
Then whitewashed memories

A Reason To Hang Around
Well you haven't given me much of a reason these past

relationship...well I need to know if you still love
me or not...I Need A Reason To Hang Around I don't 
know what you expect from me anymore...

Hang On
When life is filled with pain, hang on,
for tomorrow may bring comfort
and who knows joy may come your way
don’t despair, life is uncertain.

Be it a greater hell, believe
When life is filled with pain, hang on,
And if it doesn’t, don’t despair.
Times not right for surrender.

Give time...

Hang On a Lil Longer
The green
Marlboro light in her fingers
Smoke shifting in the air
The wind blowing through
The combini flags
Waving surrender
We stay quiet
In the dark night
If one of us speaks
A single word
Everything will overflow
Endlessly
Nothing can stop
The tears
The truth
The taste
From flowing
In our mouthes
Keep on pretending
Just gotta
Hang on a
Lil longer
Have a
Lil more...

Premium Member Hang In There
Without a doubt, there'll be an end
What it was like before is hard to comprehend
Imagining our life
Before this strife
Like night and day, good times well spent...

Hang Myself In the Sky
Hang Myself in the Sky

Hang myself in the sky
The sun is shining
It is frightening
The sky is blue
There's no clue

Looking for secrets
You gave me pamphlets
No matter what you say
I will say “nay”
So you’ll say “nigh-nigh”

Hang myself in the sky
The sun is shining
It is exciting
But, I am...

I Hang My Painting
I Hang my Painting

The people walk on by and look 
My life is hanging on the hook 
Every look they find  an angle 
Nothing simple, life a tangle 

A life, the process that we need 
From time to time it leads to bleed
The shadow...

death is very clear 
                 not like blurred reality 
               where snags just appear

Premium Member Boobs Hang Out In Pairs
Boobs are usually found hanging out in pairs
Seeing one without the other is really quite rare
They're kinda quirky
Brown noses so perky
Hanging so proudly smelling the fresh air...
