Best Imperil Poems


Premium Member Song of The Jaguar No 2: ABBA

Inspiring, crescendo ... the ascension,
of myth and legend as Yaguara,
or "Death in one leap" the sleek frame, Jaguar
as if it's from another dimension.
Leopards bit spotty, but Jaguars take
a rosette form, tell-tale signs like water
that natures them. As a jungle squatter,
prey, and time of hunt, don't discriminate
their mettle. Domains--mine alone; moms play
dads too, tongues play teeth too, cubs play adult
as hunt molds age. Overcast shades result
in a Black Panther coexist display.
Imperil: human expansion collide,
... imagine our continental divide.

Church Had Us Over Barrel

Church Had Us Over Barrel

Church really had us over barrel,
Heard choir sing Christmas carol;
Terrible sound,
All around;
Ended up in danger and imperil.

Imperil means to bring into peril
or endanger.

Pulmonary

"Pulmonary"



Revelations burn pulmonary
when all the bees no longer roar
life drowns in blue-green

Clairvoyants dance in time 
with prophets to flux events
Light folds Dark inside out 

Lizards Popes and Politicians
tread water in their black oceans
looking for an open door

Revelations burn pulmonary
when all the bees no longer roar
life drowns in blue-green

"Dance of the Clairvoyants" (Mach I) / Pearl Jam
https://youtu.be/xJwuP5wPCLQ




“You don't need an ocean to feel like you're drowning. 
You feel it, between your chest and your throat, 
the weight of it stretching you outside your self, 
like a dead fish on the shore.”



“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, 
then man would have only four years of life left. 
No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, 
no more animals, no more man.” 



“The bird, the bee, the running child 
are all the same to the sliding glass door.”


Rev 8 (NIV)
Zeph 1:3 (KJV)

An Unholy Mess

Why do they hate so?
They expound forgiveness
But malign half of humanity
It is the gravest sin
That they do not wish to know

The human race cannot exist
Without a mixture of men and women
Men crave priority
While the woman is meant to follow

Through ignorance and machismo
They delete themselves from posterity
The creed of embracing all that they preach
Forgotten when selecting the gods
That inhabit their one sided hierarchy

They court and woo controversy
Discriminating on a grand scale
The X chromosome
Must have only a reproductive role
Of no spiritual worth

A selfish message they send
To future generations
Today will be tomorrows past
Spitefulness will be all they have to tell
To a more liberal generation
Who may think ; what the hell!

The stain of no sisterly love
Does imperil
The hard fought for longevity of a church
That for some is the centre of society

Stifling female advancement
Is a wanton disregard for the maker
Who created all in his image
We are told that
He loves us all
No matter if we wear pants or skirts
The soul it seems has no sex

Side-lined for their femininity
Traduced for being as god created
Women are second class in a world
Where acceptance of the divine
Should outweigh gender dog fighting

A shaky foundation is today’s Christian ethos
The lack of understanding and
The ability to forgive
Has reduced respect for a beacon of society
A grievous and irrevocable manoeuvre

The male domination of the soul
Is but a wilful and audacious folly
The human race will not exist
If women are thought of as a bother

To look at the future of the church
Is to gaze into a cloudy ball
The smoke of destruction evident to all about
Except the Don Quixotes
Who stubbornly fight the inevitable
Bolstered by their own ill will

The health of the church
Is paramount for its survival
The acceptance of those who believe
Irrespective of their genes will extend
The work on earth of Christ above
Let us worship and serve god as one

Premium Member Photon of Light

A photon of light enters this dented room
Screaming past my phase of a seared existence
Light escaped through the cracks of imperil doom
Shelled by the dull pounding of acquiescence
Opening the door to times external glow
Beams of light digress extremes that are below
Life increases with virtuous tender flash
Expressionless blinds my every fabric sash

Russell Sivey


A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol

Our minds and brains must be microscopic
Allowing things to happen that are catastrophic
Which cause so much sorrow, suffering and pain
While world and lives become filled with bloodstain. 

What is it that will stand and stay in the way?
Destruction and destroying put on display
And to think, other way they want us to look
Just sit there still reading our Bible Book.

God said let actions speak louder than each word
And also to you has it often ever really occurred
Blessed be a person by actions that they take
Not make many excuses causing hearts to break. 

James Serious Mysterious Horn
Retired Veteran

PS. Instead of all our lives being imperil
Could someone sing us a Christmas Carol?

Leeches In Life Waters

God made the earth with life waters 1
For ages, waters flowed in each spring
Each human had his own spring
Respected was the neighbor’s spring 
Up and down ran the waters

At the start life waters were pure 6 
And humans desired their lure
They wanted to taste the liquid 
Just for the waters were limpid 
Strange rains brought parasites 

The leeches have stained the life waters’ color 11
They caused the waters generate odor 
Still thirst pushed men to drink dirt
Their first need was to quench the thirst

At that time each man had his own life wells 15 
Families fetched unpolluted water peacefully
Now as pits have hosted unsafe caterpillars
Men’s longing for that water has grown incredibly
Many still want to drink of it without suspicions

Today life waters are vaguely shared 20
Men are thirsty and want to drink 
Of the water regardless it is infected
With bare body, they also vividly swim and sink
In the life sea they suspect contaminated

Beware of leeches spread in the ocean 25
Do not imperil your life for immersing
With no swimming coat for protection
But enjoy the innocuous soaking and swing
In your home’s safe pool for endless emotion. 29

Poem by Mugisho N Theophile

Cohen Sang Song

Cohen Sang Song

Cohen sang song which was a carol;
Now they have Trump over a barrel;
He started new cult,
Called sexual assault;
Not only that presidency is imperil.

Never Return

Never return
13/08/2018


Cumulonimbus gathering,
Clouding my judgment .
Rain drops pitter pattering
Acid down my cheek.
Resolve is growing weak.

One slip all it will take.
One deadly decision,
The last I will make.
Eternal mental damage
And ruinous thoughts banish.

Wanna score myself an ounce,
That’ll kill these troubles.
And never leave the house.
Wanna drink and toke a bong,
And just be left alone.

Troubles they still remain.
Welcome to my world,
Here we go again.
Welcome beautiful pain,
A world filled with disdain.

I won’t let this become
Reality as I know it.
Too far now I’ve come,
Way too much to lose.
Strength to myself I’ll prove.

Why I’m still here today,
Amazes me in many ways.
My kids, my girl, myself.
Life experience my wealth,
My happiness my health.
A new belief in self.
Regaining touch with spiritual,
Breaking thoughts habitual,
Imposing strength on physical,
Meditating on the mystical,
Living along lines ethical,
Waxing all things lyrical,
Probing thoughts metaphysical,
Travelling through the ethereal,
Change has been gradual,
Exercise a new ritual,
Living a life minimal.
My life I’ll not imperil,
My world is now imperial.

Premium Member And So I Am

I am
the warmth in the comfort and contour
of sweet tones and gentle voices

I am
the color and design of exquisite joy
and the contrasting balance of dark and light

I am
the shelter of enduring silent spaces
where hollow ghosts reside in unseen places

I am
the soil of prime expression sown with seeds of strength and grit
to toil within the fiery house of passion

I am 
the lengthy stride that drives my direction towards my fate
while deep caverns of doom and failure imperil with craters of strife

I am
the infinite treasure and outcome of endless novels of stardust
the start to all beginnings the end of all ends

I am
the primary and infinite force in the acceptance of all truths
the core of compassion within the confines of my flesh

I am 
the fundamental verity of all things known within change
the supreme element that answers the intention of the universe

I am 
The ultimate perfection
I am love

Who Would Want Trump

Who Would Want Trump

What Trump said puts us into a stupor
Is party pooper and things are a blooper
With Hillary items are always tangible
His hair is orange and unmanageable.

Trump does end up putting us imperil
Would be best if his mouth was sterile
In my Hillary and Trump comparison
She is friendly and us he is harassing.

From difficulties Hillary will be venerated
Idiots like Trump have him incinerated
And her actions are always amenable
Can be changed to becoming commendable.

On many fine points Hillary has deliberated
Trump's mind needs to be rehabilitated
By a bunch of fools is now surrounded
Problems are now profusely compounded.

When Hillary speaks she seems so eloquent
Trump takes us for granted being complacent
And foot into mouth does continually plant
Why would we want him to ne our President?

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

Dig this. Just got my hair cut Saturday. Her
name was Hillary. Asked her if she ever had
been to DC before and what did she remember.
She saw some guy sitting in a big chair and
enjoyed feeding the squirrels. Prime example
of people living here in Brunswick County, NC. 
This is really true.
Yesterday, I was on the Democrat Committee
to make sure people had registered to vote.
Cashier said she could care less who wins
and has never registered. Wow!!!

Premium Member Disinformation

Disinformation
Miracle man
5-5-2022

Much of what I see I deem disinformation,
some is fashioned to part me from my cash.
Currently there appears to be no cessation,
so I delete things that imperil my stash.

Now Congress sees need to set up a commission,
how ironic, since much untruth begins there.
But like most things it won’t come to fruition,
and disinformation our thoughts will ensnare.

Laskrizon , 6

I am truly concerned
as i leave my Laskrizon
but,it is a three day's journey
my next black moon destination

I trust all will be well
in my absense
infiltrater's are persistent
Ahpla and pack more than capable

A dreary journey thus far
wind gusted blackened skies
bring stinging rain

Comfort come's from
my two traveling companion's

Nev,an enormous blackest black raven
unseen in the shadows
flies above,or,perches atop tree line
.....my eye's in the sky
appear's to be serious
a misleading perception
his humor keeps us loose

Noila,a proud Puma
her alert ferociousness
scout's perimeter
quiet but deadly in her wisdom

A combined effort
our future's imperil all
only by such collaboration
can unifying forces succeed

" Agemo ! " caw's Nev
immediately I scan the shadows
Nev is a stealth expert
as soon as I spot him I respond,
" yes Nev,you have new's "

" I do indeed,Noila will rest and wait
  for us to catch up ! "
a bit frustrated by that comment,
" what do you mean,catch up ? "
Nev now in cackling laughter,
" I told Noila you were dragging
  your tail as a rudder in dirt ! "

" that is not funny my friend,
  how far her distance ? "

" about a quarter day's sun
  at your pace " more laughter...

" relay to Noila,be there shortly
  I'll run as the wind "

Suppose some would find 
wise cracks annoying
the laughter keeps light hearted...
