He is her knight in shining armor in all angles and sight…

He has all the courage to go and ask her hand,
From the woman’s father who’s well-known as a noble man;
Words of humiliations, he swallows them all,
He is a commoner but his love for her is so true and pure.

Despite their opprobrium, he keeps fighting for his great love,
In a humble way, he begs for her parents’ blessings
knocking their wooden heart;
Bowing before her father… he implores…
Making faithful promises to keep forevermore.

His heart of gold and few hectares of land
enough dowries he can give,
all for his dearest one.
For she’s their only daughter,
their lovely princess
very  precious,
and so pretty-she really is.
The suitor’s words are passionate, fervent and firm,
The man is so adamant, he still refuses him,
His words continue…spewing cogent powers…
Finally melts her mother’s heart---
His struggles to win her and be both blessed will soon be over,
He’ll surely conquer for his love is so great proven to last forever.

Abundant Autumn-Palindrome

Abundant Autumn


Cooling air with colouring redder skies
Fooling landscapes upon marram lies
Fuelling frosted with dewed sunrise
Ruling leaves falling from revver highs

Deciduous trees succus leaving nectars
Mellifluous winds creating rotor sectors
Ambiguous pigments in sexes of hectares
Conspicuous colours within noon reflectors

Brown yellow pop orange magenta & blue
Countdown waiting Hallows Eve to Boo
Around hanging monsters of kook stew
Gown dressing ghouls amidst tenet view

Pies of pumpkins with evil olive inside
Skies Autumn puff up stretching wide 
Prize setting sun top spot forever eyed
Rise blue heavens for we few of pride.




...much to my surprise, this Autumn Palindrome poem can be read backwards lol
...extremely difficult to compose, because of the restricting Palindromes



1.marram – a type of grass
2.dewed – past tense of "to dew", meaning to cover with dew
3.revver – someone or something that revs (an engine)
4.succus – any of various liquids excreted by animals or plants
5.rotor – something that rotates
6.kook – a crazy person
7.tenet – a belief or principle

A Palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same backwards as forwards.

Radio free State of Deseret 3 July 2118, 6 PM Salt Lake Time

International news first.

27 Zionist terrorists leaders were beheaded in the Caliphat of Palestine yesterday after their failed attempt to establish a third state of Israel in Jerusalem during Rhamadan.

One of the last two remaining members of the European Union, France, decided to secede after the other remaining member, Germany, forcibly annexed neighboring Austria after a surprise attack last night.  Experts think the attack on Austria was to gain thousands of hectares of undepleted uncontaminated topsoil, and to find a place to deport all the refugees Germany has taken in from the Kurdistan-Turkey-Syria conflict.

After six months of street fighting, Anglo-Canadian forces finally captured the last of the Quebec Libre forces in Montreal.  Surviving members of the Libre forces offered only token resistance, as most were near starvation from the blockades.

Several promising oil fields have been identified in the Amazon River Valley of Brazil.  Indigent natives had already left the area after the last of the rain forests had been plowed-under to grow sugar crops to make ethanol for fuel.
Venezuela and the Latino Free State of Texas are competing for contracts to drill.

Regional news.

Tomorrow marks what would have been the 342nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the former United States of America.  It also marks the 42nd anniversary of the simultaneous nuclear attack by North Korea and Iran on 7 major coastal cities of the USA during America's tricentennial celebrations, which precipitated the schisms in North America today.

The Deseret Volunteer Guard and Air Force successfully defended the kingdom against a new wave of attacks by gangs, pirates, and sexual deviants that tried to infiltrate via Las Vegas into what used to be Zion National Park.  

The Prophet's Safety Council wants to remind all faithful member-citizens to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, to always carry your portable water decontamination kits and air filter masks with you, and to compost all plant materials and use your compost in your sheltered Victory Greenhouses.

Keep the Faith.  Radio free State of Deseret signing off.

The Golden Stool

The Golden Stool

 Offer me the sacrosanct golden stool
 To rest my bottom,
 Cursed! And of course abominable it is
 The Asantihene possesses it,
 I will rather then be banish from being;
 And become a bottomless bottoms
 A riddle riddled with contour,
 It is uncomfortable anyway,
 I will rather seat on an armchair
 Listening to the howling wind from Elmina;
 Telling stormy tales of the beginning,
 Of million sunk soul ancestors departed;
 In ocean-farer Columbus minute sail,
 Neither I examine buttocks of Homo- erectus
 With magnifying glasses,
 Nor listen to naked maidens cuddling calabash;
 Filled with soft breadfruits
 Strolling on marble tarmac roads,
 But to virgins with unripe chest mangoes;
 Dancing and queuing at my hut stepping,
 Listen to mothers mingling backed urchins
 Hoping in hope load of sacks;
 In uncountable mileage
 To dispose and bring back joy of cowries;
 Labouring farmer hue mounds in hectares,
 Rose in a grunt
 Nostalgically, looked hazily back and future;
 I must do a little bit more, more and more,
 Mounds, until I reach tip end of the earth;
 The hunegred yawns must be fill.

Premium Member The Little Red Panda In a Yellow Starred Bandana

*I believe I've awoken the little red panda
donning five yellow stars on a crimson bandana
spreading hectares of jaded Jinping propaganda*

*She lives in a land of dragons and Maoist oppression
I think I'm becoming her latest star-spangled obsession
Sad, she'll probably never breathe sweetened air of the free
or feel warmth from the torch of Staten Island's fairest lady*

*As she tap-taps away on her communist keys.
Careful not to say anything blue about her chairman Xi. 
She knows with a slip of the mind -one twitch of the teeth.
She'll be chum to the yellow sharks of the South China Sea...
I hope someday she has the means and courage to flee.
Sing a song for old Hong Kong over sweet cups of green peace*

* If you ever make your way over, don't tote any echo locators. 
Unless it's a pod of democracy dolphins-they tend to be voters, not haters.
They'll batter yellow sharks if you drift from the star-spangled breakers.
God bless your journey -I pray that you stay safe and finally make it.

Vanity

Rich.
Poor.
Rich enough to buy hectares.
Poor without a plot.
Possesses many mansions.
Can't even afford a block.
Six feet for everyone.
Vanity.


Find Others

To everyone who found himself,
Found himself by looking for the good in others.
The more you try to add value to others,
The more you add value to yourself.
The more I try to plant my SWAP in you,
The more my hectares of farm of SWAP enlarges
And the more I see more about myself
I never saw when I never started.

Saul enrolled for the Gulder Ultimate Search
To search for the lost donkey of his father
And then he found himself
As the first King of Israel.
David laid down his life to be the Fulani boy
Of his family, even though clearly neglected.
Yet, at his duty post he fell in love with God,
He wrote love-letters to God,
Expressing his psalms feelings to God
And also expressed his might
With lions and bears as specimens.
Also, Goliath as his great spring to greatness.

Whatever you can do to refurbish humanity,
Do it with all delight and someday
Your light will so shine before men
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father which art in Heaven.

The Clearing

Hopping, jumping, running…
threatened species fearfully seeking shelter
in native woodland and scrub
Evacuating the hectares of the clearing 
Whilst a petrified baby koala clings to his mother tight
between massive cut logs, which yesterday were thriving trees.
Two centuries of deforestation and now nearly fifty percent of the bush lifeless
For beef cattle production, to export.
Where the destruction affects the animals leaving them homeless,
Where the circle of life is broken due to the wickedness and greed of mankind,
The children gasp for air.

Premium Member The Mentoring of Tumors

Lately, I've cut away hectares of tumors.
That engulfed confidence, happiness, self-worth, and well-being.
With surgery, a bit of the good stuff was sacrificed:
A few shallow laughs, some adventure, and mostly harmless mischief.

The mirror is filled with scars of the heart, excoriations of spirit.
Along with other, yet-to-be-discovered damage.
Though somewhat deformed, I like my new look.
I feel tiredly refreshed.

The scalpels are dull and quiet for now.

There's work to be done.
Some of the newly homeless tumors are mentoring new ones.

I'm no fool and fully aware that I'm also a tumor to others.

Emotional Leak

On goes a beep , the emotions start to leak , 
suddenly they just sneek 
 I am not a sensitivity geek 
  I cant define the moment , just feel the kick ... 

  Everytime a little bit more daunting ... 

The feelings are so rich 
    Hectares of overwhelming hitch 
       Reactive Glitch 
Desire  of the stitch 
 of two realities 
   
  Where within a flick I can divert 
          to the island of reassembling breeze . 
  To seize the incoming sneeze 
  of overthinking fear trees .....

Even Love goes on a leap 
Yet afraid to let go of it too deep ... 

All afraid to feel the feelings ,
 As they overlap ...
 Yet so Aware , In these dealings ....
  sometimes feels like a trap
   All matters is the way the feelings lie 
     In many ways we can always fly

Stratva An Octahedral Octave Wow

When and if a dribble quaver bears an octave and stands on a score one must elevate sound to ninety-eight beats a second for to succumb to a moderate tempo is to work oneself into a crescendo. Wow. Work of art then. Tinkling interludes and a big bass drum. Pointing and pouting at musicians with a seventeen acre stick in the air does not create a vastness. It merely creates a pantomimed action. And seven hectares means an acorn shaped accordion so don't wear a piano pin to a rehearsal. Trample not a trombone. And behave appropriately at a waving weaving web of musical performances. Ding  lang a loo loo then. Wow. Fantastic froggy frees frameworks. And a misted multiplication in a single key. Laughing. Hahahahahahahahaha and now spin around. Soup style. Interesting isn't it. But an octagonal orifice of an octave is an operatic theatrical octopus. Dig no shrine under a melodramatic bus then. And fashion is not a fable nor a fragmentation.

Premium Member Old Macdonald's Great-Grandchildren

We are old MacDonald’s great-grandchildren
who help him in his fields during weekends,
We gather chopped hays and feed his chicken,
then watch him works with his farmers and friends.

We love working in the fields together,
We ride ponies and horses…we’re cowgirls!
We greet his hardworking farmworkers who’re there
while they cut rice straws with their sharp sickles.

Our grandfather owns large hectares of land,
Ranging from the foot of the blue mountain 
 to the spot where we, three sisters stand;
Tour around freely! Ride in his land train!

Beyond grandpa’s rice fields are big orchards,
And behind are gardens with vegetables
where we’ll immensely enjoy afterwards;
Healthy foods will be on our long tables!

Our grandpa is so happy to have us,
He says, “ With triplets grandkids, life’s so nice!”
So, when we go back to school he gives cash,
buys new dress, pair of boots and hair bowties.

All In All

Turn round around
Get me astounding 
Wait for me 
Do not disagree
Let us glue
Traces of you
Superb memories abounding 
Which keeps funding
With kindest emotion
My hearty devotion 
Playing thy guitar 
But we are
Not to share
What duties ensnare
And the honor 
Of great Connor 
Shining so bright
How cognizance ignite 
Like the TRUTH
Mixed with Vermouth
Land massive STARS 
Yielding flavored hectares 
Humans march upon 
Earth's free cons 
Awarding less duties
To foreign beauties
Pleasing young hearts 
Praised enchanting arts
Teasing loyal minds
Eyes open blind 
Lurking safe trip 
How loyalties gyp 
In fearful journey 
Trading scornful honey 
Dark souls morn
After trust warns
To savage peace
In lovely teases
With pretense borrowed 
I rarely kowtow
With watery words
Keeping young birds
From eagles gazes
Forsaken reasonable promises

Together

France went into the first world war
because it had no choice 
the allies won the war
with a population of thirty-eight million

Eight and a half million were mobilized
five point three million were killed
4 million hectares of land devastated
6 hundred thousand buildings destroyed 

20 thousand factories destroyed
nobody wins from the wars
Iran and Iraq keep fighting 
Palestine keeps fighting, your buildings 

Now down around your knee's 
your children die your people flee
you let anger rule your lives
nobody wins from the wars

you fight to promote your God
But with his power, he can do anything
he doesn't need your help
he does not want his children dead

Nobody wins from the wars
thousands of missiles fired
thousands of people bleed 
thousands of insults taken

nobody wins from the wars
you build your missile silo's 
more nuclear bombs do we make
until someone makes them fire

nobody wins from the wars 
the planet then empty and broken
you destroy what your God created
nobody wins from the wars

but if we join united
with money invest in new jobs 
your smiling children's faces
can win forevermore

In peace, we can work united
to build the crops that we need,
bring water out to the desert
build lush fertile ground that is green

Invest in desalination
bring water from pipes to the land
build jobs for a world united
with arms that love people we see  

With time we could fertilize deserts
build lush growing crops and new trees
we can build together new cities
where children have lives and can read
