Premium Member Sipping Cedar With My Sweetheart
And his frost-clad lips I gently kissed
So mildly radiant amid this  place--
That the silvery night grew quite intense
Until a gasp rushed from his cheeks.
While awakening to each other
       Our throbs exploded into daybreak…
     ...

Premium Member Juke Box Alliteration Sensation
One fleeting Friday Freda Foster fretted at the frog pond. She  said" This was suppose 
To be my day."
I said yeah, go on. "I've been invited to this gala affair at  THE JUKE
BOX JAM  owned by Sam and I simply have nothing...

Life is a mere dream
 A fleeting shadow that fades
 with time; awaken!

Seniors Style

 'Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest,
And all of us seniors were looking our best.
Our glasses, how sparkly, our wrinkles, how merry:
The punchbowl held prune juice plus three drops of...

Premium Member While Waiting For My Return Flight Home
"You in the military?"

I was confused at first and didn't know why the man would ask me such a question. But then I remembered my recent haircut.

"No... is it because I shaved my head, that you think that?"

He laughed, in confirmation. At the time he...

The Dino Dance
There once was a dinosaur dance,
Which was great for lizard romance.
As T Rex stole the show,
When he jived to rock ‘n’ roll,
Marc Bolan didn’t stand a chance....

Sue jived to tremendous applause 
Then pondered what could be the cause 
She’d got dressed in a rush
So her cute peachy tush
Revealed she'd not put on her drawers!!

Lost In Reason
Sitting all alone on a gym bench
A half-empty glass of punch in my hand,
The lights bounced off the disco ball
On the stage was the college band.

On the dance floor guys all jumped around
While the girls just giggled and jived;
I got up and walked towards the...

The Conjuring Nights
In the silence of night a lone wolf howled,
I glanced at my watch, it showed twelve,
 “Ding Ding” the sound of a church bell,
On spur of a moment it was blowing a gale,
Trees jived and jungle roared,
My heart was throbbing,
A sudden silence scared me to...

Swing Heil
The flit of peach chiffon skirts, 
 And seas of swirling dancers  
romped, jived, swayed and turned 
Their movements in perfect harmony 
To a freedom so greatly earned 

Her hands, fluidly frolicking 
Into the depths of the pulse 
In swaying synchrony, she plunged ...

Premium Member Heebie Jeebies Came To Play
The heebie-jeebies came by to play.
I promptly shooed them straight away.
Come on they said as they jiggled and jived.
But my long-awaited guest had just arrived.

Hey! What is happening? She asked with pure happy.
It’s the heebie-jeebies, kind of fun and sappy.
I recognize them now! She said...

Premium Member Dance
They danced as if they were the only ones at the outdoor concert.
They were challenging others to join them.
There were chuckles in the background as they "jived" up a storm.
But there were also cheers of "way to go" from other onlookers as they
watched in amazement...

Credentials
I thought these white words like seering light
That jived my brain with alien meanings
To my pain were scandalously gone
I thought I would have to find a way to speak
Using silence as my native tongue
While I mourn the longing for cadence and rhyme
Then suddenly I was...

The Cat, the Dog, the Mouse and the Rabbit Hutch
THE CAT, THE DOG, THE MOUSE AND THE RABBIT HUTC>/center>

When passing the pet shop window, I saw a wondrous sight.
The pets were having a party, far into the night.
The cat was smoking a home-made spliff she’d rolled between her paws;
The dog was sipping pink champagne...

You know the Old Lady who lived in a shoe,
She led the Autumn Jive with Little Boy Blue,
DJ Peter Piper looked suave and dapper,
The Old Grand Duke of York, *MC and rapper

The Trees of the forest turned up for the rave,
The old Willow sporting a...
