Best Inflates Poems


A Piece of Bread.
My mother starts moaning, with another one due.
She won't live to see, as she struggles to wheeze.
I never knew famine would produce skies so blue.
But no need for toilets, I forget how to squeeze.

Searing sun inflates skulls into baroque balloons.
One whining dog, dying , from...

The Village On the Water Vi
But we of the Three Tribes live undiscovered 
   In the reverberating stillness of the 
 Three Gorges...
And are therefore unknown to the warring mongol;
    His impassioned lusts -- his penchant for 
  Wanton destruction!
   If he...

The Village On the Water V
Showering white light illuminates 
  Bright-Moon Bay;
   In the overlooking Moon-Inviting Pavilion,
 Li Bai had raised his twinkling, rich amber
Coloured wineglass
    To invite the same reticent Moon.            ...

Premium Member Lovely Llama - Collaboration
A lovely Llama called Lin
Got her head stuck in a bin
She gave a shy yelp
We all dashed to help
And tended the cut on her chin

She’s got such a pretty white coat
It’s much softer than that of a goat
Her poetry is divine
How I wish it were...

Premium Member For Women Who Suffer Every Month - and Their Partners Who Suffer In Silence
Oh how I long for the menopause and end this monthly curse
I was hoping things would improve, but now it’s getting worse

I turn into a chocolate craving fiend at all hours of day or night
If someone raided my emergency supply it could end in a...

Old Friend We Meet Again
When you meet death, smile as if greeting an old friend.
The fear you feel, is the fear that death will not notice how you've changed.
The lessons you've learned, the tears you've cried, the smiles you distributed to the ones in need.
But death as an old...

Outside My Window
Outside My Window

I sit on Dad's heavenly bed as I pen this write
The mournful heart looks outside
The window which for the moment is mine
I view with his eyes and the heart inflates
The orchard is blooming ready for fruiting, but
The hedges look wild while lawn's not...

RESTRICTED DIET –
JOURNAL IX

When digestion
falters
One’s favorite
dishes become an
internal poison
The ancient is
forced to start a
restricted diet –
No more pizza,
mashed potatoes and
gravy,
      French fries

It seems all the
really rich, tasty
foods are
      Forbidden
When we cheat,
overeat, stomach’s
revenge is

Premium Member Thine Art Loveth
HARK, whilst thee singeth melody,
gauged labyrinths midst harmony,
ransom subconscious, placed thee free,
persuade possessed, heed thy purged glee,
beg reposed heart thy beating plea.
Themes prune labor to a degree,
song finesse thine assent of thee,
music quell sorts of thine decree
tune thy hearts, minds, souls let agree,
sensed voiced symphonic...

Homely Appeasements
Homely Appeasements


'You are what you eat', say the dieticians!
There is no escape from gormandising
I'm a foodie! It's aroma inflates my spirits
I once tasted garlic cottage cheese curry
In my dream, and my restive spirits unruffled 
The next day for gastronomical delights to perfection

Home made bread, nicely...

The Elders Speak
The elders speak in timeless tones to reconcile the past,
And offer truths from which we choose to fill the roles we're cast.
But though the sage will muse how well the truths can guide our way,
So few will heed and recognize the worth of what they...

Blind Justice
They say we are free
yet the laws are governed by hypocrisy
doctrines by decree
dictating to you and me

Justice is blind 
and the gavel comes down
hidden in plain sight is 
the criminal justice system

such a fine line
policy and law designed to protect you
that's what they have you...

Magnificent Frigate Bird
I am a slender looking sea bird having forked tails,
long hooked bills and a white under belly. 
My genus is marked by sexual dimorphism.
My mate tries to do so many wonderful things so that 
I would fall for him.Likewise,wonderful courtship display allows me to do...
