Premium Member East Coast Hype

(A Blank Verse Sonnet)

At fifty-two, a new career is launched
in beauty firm installed on eastern shore,
to aid all those who live with problem skin.
As sales increase, adventure swells; she wins 
awards, free  trips, new friends, and diamond rings.
With pride, she dons the pen for “Be a Ten,”
and coast to coast arrangements spell her norm.
But, friendships wane on jaunty trips, the trek
becomes a stress which brings her less and less
content to show the aloe glow as proof
that older skin need not begin to wear
a shriveled face, but wear a youthful tone.
          And yet, the spark with eastern hype instilled
          a drive to stay the course throughout her life.

Premium Member There's a Virus

There’s a Virus

There’s a virus! Let’s go mental quick
Lock up your valuables they might get sick
There’s a virus! The media’s gone crazy
You'll lose your hair and you'll become lazy
There’s a virus! Let’s all run for the hills
Grab your coffins because they say it kills!
There’s a virus! Abandon the schools!
That’s brilliant the government likes fools!
There’s a virus! Please give it a rest!
It kills the elderly if they don’t wear a vest!
There’s a virus! It’s just like last year
But the media love it because you're filled with fear!
There’s a virus! All right! crawling on all fours!
I’ll live like a hermit and won't go outdoors
There’s a virus! Well I’m ready to go!
I don't believe this over hyped, media show!
There’s a virus! But it’s now on page ten
There's something new and it all starts again!

Premium Member Super Bowl Li Hype Rocks Houston and Viewers

Super Bowl LI Hype Rocks Houston And Viewers


Superbowl LI promises to be one helluva game
With the Patriots and Falcons vying for championship claim
Houston will stage the uplift off this Sunday, February 5th
As a global audience watches the fireworks on the field rift 

QB's Brady of the Patriots and Ryan of the Falcons square off
On the field as field generals igniting the rockets to blastoff
With head coaches of the respectful teams inch to lighting the fuses
Belichick of the PATS and Quinn of the Falcons also threw darts to amuse

Pregame banter to wit, Belichick said the Falcons never beat us
Answered by the Falcons saying stop throwing us under the bus
To the fans perspective let's get this baby settled on the field
With Falcon's top offense versus the PATS top defense, let's see who wields

As much as the fireworks on the field shadows the game
It will be the commercials and halftime-show heightening the flame
Lady Gaga and her Tiffany brand headline the halftime show
As the Budweiser, Skittles, Snickers, Buick ads to name a few try to woe

Who ever knows the outcome of this game should be in Vegas
But it's fun to listening to fans proclaiming which team is the greatest
One thing for sure the day should be festive of good cheer and food
As the rites of passage, Superbowl, is television's most viewed

To the winners, million steps they be dancing in the moon light
And to the losers, millions of tears drowning their sorrows of slight
This should be a fun game to see if the PATS, being top layers
Can fiend off the the Falcons, yearning to be dragon slayers

Hype

So many of us will sell ourselves for the "hype"
Just for a moment in the limelight 
Selling their souls for minute of fame,  just to see their names  in the big bright lights
It can't be easy living in a lie 
 You can't pay your bills but you wear million dollar hairstyles  and name brand shoes just to maintain the "hype"
The Bling Bling life and the social media likes that's all in the "hype"
Driving a Range Rover and you still paying rent. How does that spell sense ?  Just to be in the" hype " in the limelight 
Fame must  have an expensive price 
You sleep with Dick, Tom and Harry just to be on the arms of man that the media calls a star 
Yes,  the "hype " has an expensive price 
You sell your values for a moment of fame, all in the name of a" HYPE "
What an expensive price to pay for moment of fame.

Premium Member Hornet Hype

Headline News:
Cross the Seas Arrival
Killer Hornets Near

Relentless force of steroid nature
Buffed hornets in out-sized wing chanting
Swarm-buzz of aggression
Predators to hapless honey bees
Poison stings like silver arrows.
Venom shrapnel from combat incursion.
New fodder for Hollywood flick diversion.

Part of a new fear landscape
         in pandemic turmoil.
Forest peace destroyers in what 
         flies, lurches and stings.
Fear in re-jigged planet living cringe.

Media bursts of unending dread.
More psychic danger than real threat?
Time of apocalypse reckoning?
Nothing here to sooth your nerves undone
Even so, in a biblical plague,
         shield your eyes,
         and run!

Premium Member Whatever We Is We Are

Whatever We is We are 

Whatever We is We are . . . and have no doubt of this ever. 

Whatever We is We are is something that should never be
denied. Why? Why Not?

Whatever We is We are speaks with a devout degree of both a
singularity and plurality in our human world with its simplicity,
complexity, and contradictions in both truth and honesty that
shape and define each of us, by fate and destiny, in the course
of our lives.

Whatever We is We are suggests to each of us to tell who we
really are without all of the metaphoric hype and subterfuge,
and the common notions of jiggery-pokery that, at times, does
pervade and corrupt human nature even in the best of us, no
matter how grand and great our intentions and actions may be.

Whatever We is We are . . . and have no doubt of this ever.

Hype and Reality

they prepared the study
we wished all American to know
that common solutions
to everyday problems are the
ethics of the American resposiblity.
meaning all people in America ought to be afforded
the right to heighten their credt worthiness by
buying credit onsite, to improve their credit score
to be able to buy large purchases. these purchases not
to be defined by their price: but by what the purchase is.
extending credit worthiness, by buying volchures to improve one's
ranking for the sale of
a vechile or home. Purchasing credit (as inhouse)
to be able to buy a car, or any lage item over
$$000.00. Extending credit to show on the credit report as purchase paid in lapsing entro)
meaning the one time payment is fazed into a payment by the saller
to seen as a extending line of credit that has been paid, over a lapsing time period) it will be apllible credit that is paid for up front.
and billed as credit extention, and shown on your credit score as such( in the buyers favor)
(say.. the buyers credit score is 550, the purchase would increase the score to 700, so that the purchase can be made and credit can be extended. upon 9 payments (in a timley fashion)
the score would than reflect the improvement, at the addition cost to the buyer. this means more tax revenue for the government and more power to the struggling people of America!


THE CREATION OF THE GREEN-CLASS....THE ETHICS OF WORTHINESS!

The Hype of 2012

With all the hype on 2012
Are we heading towards our hell
The calendars predict, a drastic change
They coincide, now aint that strange

Should we believe that this is the end
With signs all around, that we can’t mend
Or do we believe in something good
A loving God and brotherhood

So many theories on the .NET
Bring confusion, toil and sweat
Which one do you believe 
That’s for you and your reprieve

Could it be, the coming age
Where man excels and turns the page
Or will it be that we shall fall
And God saves us, one and all

Will it be cause and effect
Where we pay our karmic debt
Can we rise above it all
Becoming strong and spiritual

Some believe will meet the dead
Here on earth, that’s what I read
Our loved ones pass the golden gate
To talk with us, and to relate

I heard, a planet will collide
With us from the outer side
Or could it be, a huge black hole
That tosses the earth to and thro

Some say, will be hit with meteorites
Causing people to lute and fight
And what about the financial status
Economy breakdown in the papers

Floods, pollution, famine and war
Global warming, terrorists and more
There could be a catastrophic event
Sending shock waves, to our sense

We could be invaded by UFO’s
From outer space, alien foes
What happens now, be on your guard
Cause December 2012 at large

With all these signs and revelations
Will it break, our civilisations
All our books seem to agree
The end is near! But we shall see!

Premium Member Nothing More Than Hype

Coronavirus is nothing more than hype
from somebody  who drinks Corona while smoking
But doesn't know how to type and has a gripe
With people who never even use a pipe-
perhaps in retribution for either Syrus or Sinope
and perhaps Asopus

A belief is nothing if nobody believes
and a belief is all that Corona Virus is
regardless of Tonic water and fizz when 
combined by a chemistry whizz

Premium Member Pave the Adirondacks

They told me, "Leave Brooklyn, find the green,"  
"Head upstate, change the scene,"  
Nature's arms open wide,  
So I took that long Amtrak ride.

I knew there were bobcats, I knew there was bear
So I took my pit-bull Chewbacca, any bear would beware
His last victim was a carjacker on the lam.
Teeth clamped on the guy's arm like a giant clam.

In the heart of Adirondacks, fate took a bad turn
We sat on star moss, and admired a fern 
Chewbacca sniffed at a critter with predacious design
But it was a badass porcupine

My dog's nose looked like a pincushion of quills
He ran off howling into the hills
I ran after him and into a swamp I fell,  
Green goo in my shoes, oh man, what a smell.

Covered with slime, then came the stings of black flies
Already I wondered if the hype was lies.
Yanked my way out, walked on bees in the ground
I thought bees were in trees, but nature had to confound 
  
I say pave the Adirondacks, let concrete reign,  
Nature’s wild, and slightly insane.  
From swamps to thorns, bees on attack,  
Brooklyn’s rough, but these woods fight back.

Off the trail, stumbled through deer remains,  
Leaned on a tree but found only pain.  
Thorns from the bark, I couldn’t win,  
What did I do to deserve this, can't recall the sin!

(Bridge)  
I ran screaming, poison ivy on my socks 
Twisted my leg among diabolical rocks
Crawled back to a trail, where help was found,  
A hiker gawked, said, “Bro, you’re hospital-bound.”

(Chorus)  
Pave the Adirondacks, let concrete reign,  
Nature’s wild, and slightly insane.  
From swamps to thorns, bees on attack,  
Brooklyn’s rough, but these woods fight back.
 
Now I'm back in the city, but nature wasn't through
Doc says I have Lyme disease, I wish I could sue.
Nature’s beauty nowhere near the beauty of a bar
I'll stay on the mean streets and drag race my car.

So pave the mountains, pave the trees,  
Brooklyn’s jungle is enough for me.  
Nature's call? Just a John Denver song
Here with the homeboys, I can't go wrong.

Pasquinade

Sweet is equally sweet to all mortal tongues, 
Choice morsels sate all men's starved pangs; 
Brilliant sights of plenty charm every eye right, 
And friends against foes for shinier spoils fight.

Why then do many in want of fine things stand; 
Or, how come keenest mouths on gravel feed? 
What alters those picky looks on life's shelves
That tell the greatest from the blandest breed? 

Sheer wishful cravings for tasty bites alone, 
Can't tear sumptuous meat from obtuse bone; 
Nor can mere oglings turn fate's mulish thread, 
That pins all sojourners on the hardened tread.

Life's fortunate farers got loads of apt swag: 
Maybe just a weird tooth for plaintive rhyme, 
Or a bankrupt itching to benefit others' souls; 
Artful ploys to outshine the sly guiles of dime.

Prized strokes of luck eschew the clinical type, 
And smile on stony folks immune to their hype.

Bad Side of Media Hype

That's one thing about Media Hype:
A help to the The Low - Rated Type,
An unseeded challenger ripe
For a show down with Champion Tripe,
Who'd him not spare blows like a snipe, 
On yielding flesh taking a swipe,
Blood permitting rush from slit pipe;
On challenger's body Christ's Stripe...

Many rimes Hypes have struck sad blows,
Blood on River Nile as it flows
Several times brought in stark pestle 
For some chap to with it wrestle...

Face of one denied Media Hype
A parade of lines that could gripe

Hype

hype
by Michelle Morris

don't believe your own hype
you were built up from the ground
no matter how rich or famous
you'll always end up down

because no one lasts forever
we are mortal and we are frail
all we have is our legacy
and how much good we created

history is never perfect
so many stories are creative, not true
feelings will always fluctuate
as people perceive the news

money and power might buy you
honeyed words that drip with false praise
the media might love or hate you
but it's all part of a ratings game

so, don't believe your own hype
all that counts in the end is your soul
is it pure and filled with good works
or did you sell it for fame and gold?

we live in a fickle world
little minds that seem like big names
so often the truth is left behind
and egos rent labels that claim

ultimately you live and you die
there's no getting around that one
don't believe your hype; stay humble
and leave love and light behind

a tad complicated
