Premium Member Highland Lassie
Inspired by the painting "Highland Lassie" (1871) by Thomas Faed.

(Verse One; In introduction to Cailin)
Walkin' on the highways, searchin' down the byways,
Tromps a lonely figure on the Highland roads;
Peerin' from the Highdown, breezin' through the lake town,
Askin' of a question erry where he goes:
(Chorus; Cailin,...

Premium Member The Lady and Me

I met her in the wake of night.
A tiny flake of gold, 
traveling at the speed of light.

I dipped my plume, and 
used her bright white on a canvas black, 
mapped my way to her land.

Before I had another thought,
my heart racing, 
gone this woman...

Premium Member Purple Rose Flower
Purple is a royal color
Unknown to many
Roses come in many colors
Pretty flowers in many sizes
Little roses are so very sweet
Eleven is not enough~twelve is always needed.


Red roses are for love and Valentine's Day
Orange is for the Fall
Several in a vase is very nice
Evergreens makes the...

Did the bidding, from on high.' They reported of much?
Mainly fear and death and as such.' they whipped into a frenzy...

Injustice
Fight injustice, yes we should?
Morality of greed aint any good,
Petty tories take away,
Make 4 the poor, great suffering, aye!
Lying toads are understood!

A Single's Net
A single’s net is cast
A single climbs the mast
To view a sea of profiles
Catching eyes, some color-blind

Some emails are soon returned
Some senders have not yet learned
Most personals are not for wiles
Or just adult friends to grind

A match searched for past 'leven
A perfect match wished for...

Scolding Wives
Husbands are in heaven 
when wives scold not
they think they are in leven
when wives scold hot 

yet who you are
and what you do
is really not 
just up to you

when husbands 
do the dealing wrong 
we need told off 
for whats done wrong

What you see

Two Scoops
Hey raisin, shall I tell you the tale?
Tell us of where history and news failed
to share truth? Be the sleuth and unveil?

Okay then, here's your two scoops...

Believe they say in a day when God's wrath
will find his way to you? Believe in destruction
death, plunder and...

will it up
grill it up
fill it up to brimming
swill to still those silly cells
drowned in what they’re swimming

press ‘em up
mess ‘em up
dress ‘em up with practice
a hoarder in its order
and thorned as any cactus

mock it up
talk it up
chalk it up to neurons
firing with mis-wiring
