Eve 

So much for Adam talking to the Lord.
A conversation I am sure was bored .

Asking God for a women for him to receive.
Little did Adam know his EVE will be so easy to deceive.

"Take a night cap" replied God.
By morning she will own your...

KING ME!!

"Another date you and I !!"
Sharing moments ~ "Eye To Eye!!"
Lost of words and you know why?
Your trophy is to kill,
mine's to hang you out to dry.
Testing your skill,
simmering my skills down to your level.
You play like Mr Sandman, slipping me with a sleeping...

Before Stone Cradles My Head
Praying for forgiveness
but the damage is done
still learning to walk alone 
cause who "I AM" keeps
me shunned

The doors keep closing 
in on me all through veiled
hypocrisy but what they all
have failed to see is that
I will never be anything other
than "ME".

It's true I've not always...

A Woman's Work
A WOMAN'S WORK
There's so much housework to be done,
Vacuum ,dust and sweeping the floors,
Washing the sheets, making the beds,
Do the ironing and other chores
.
Then I spy a mop and bucket
Leaning against the laundry wall,
Just waiting there for me to use,
To mop the floorboards in the...

Forbidden Fruit
DEAR STRAIT GIRL,

  Please learn to keep 
Your curiosity in check.
   When you flip-flop,
It causes a wreck.

   It's cool if you want 
To be Bi.
   It blows chunks when
You hang us out to dry.

   Leave us...

The World Is Having Wash Day
"The World is Having Wash-Day"
By Rachel H.
The world is having wash-day
And good old-fashioned showers
Have come to rub the smudges off
And freshen up the flowers.


The world is having wash-day,
And in the new-scrubbed sky
The raindrops fluff the cotton-clouds
And hang them up to dry.


The world is having wash-day
And...

Premium Member And the Day Came
he showed up at her door
without a poem in his pocket

as if half measures
would be good enough

as if it wouldn't be a crime
to hang her out to dry and break her heart

Fat Alice
The World can be a cruel place
With rigid standards of the norm
And heaven help a being who
Openly doesn’t try to conform.

Fat Alice they called her
Not exactly PC
For the person wasn’t fat
Nor willingly a she.
Gender undetermined
Was that persons choice
And it face the world with
An exquisitely powerful...

Blood On the Pane, Prints On the Sill
Kinfolk pleading with me say "John"
"Keep dancing with the devil 
And you'll wind up gone"
There ain't no need to take alarm 
I've got my brand new 
Blue suede dancing shoes on 
Wake up early in the morning 
To get the jump on me 
I can...

My Favorite Place To Write Contest

  Is by the ocean shore
   While the waves scream out for more,
    The stars signal there plea
     As the wind quietly whispers to...

Forgetting How To Breath
Weakened by the illnesses of life my body required 
assistance to breath.  It progressed to the machine 
totally doing all the work.

Life can wear you out to the point of a wringed out 
towel at times that does not allow anymore 
absorbtion.  ...
