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...

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"



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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Imbues the ideas
Imperil sanity
Impinges as an arrow
Inflictes invisible 
Irritation in soul
Imprints an excrescence
Influencing feelings

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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
