Premium Member Marrow, Mud, and Loon Lake
What's the espresso this evening, Rubicam?
My random access memory will light upon it
As I riffle the files of my brain.
Pulling out something fresh,
I burst out with words to cover the enigma.
Bones
Bones are the fare--
Stewed bones with marrow deep inside.

Cracking the bones of the chicken leg,
I...

Marrow Strain
I believe that writing is like spilling blood out of the carotid
Onto a canvas of sponge
This sponge can never be satiated
It takes generations and trillions of miles of neurons
Just to make a stain
My marrow is strained in such a glorious fashion
In attempt to produce even...

Thus says the Lord [Eternal] God to these bones: See! I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life. Ezekiel 37:5

When facing adversity 
Struggling hard through life
We sometimes feel like
A heap of life less bones

So many responsibilities
Demands
Placed upon us
By career, Family and...

The Marrow of a Lifetime
Painted Delilah's,
scarlet sirens, 
apples and bloodshed-

all these,
a breathless, 
quilted extinguisher
to save my soul

Temptation, danger, 
damnation, anger,
a shade of shame;
a reckless taint of hell.

But I'm not a red woman,
I don't go looking for Red,
don't invite it for a sleepover
or rent it a room in my soul

but...

Mystical Marrow
Mystic marrow tells the time but an ashtray rarely ponders. Hard to receive constant delivery of smoked ash and waste. Wish not a coat filled to the brim with gym shoes then? Well that simply will not do. One must be attired appropriately for all...

Toad Marrow
Toad marrow

Look about the day is near,
the evil ones will interfere,
importing labor cheap, 
visa, tainted lies,
30,000 needed special guys,
she snickers in her sleep..

Toad marrow she sits upon the heap,
cheaper labor cheep cheap cheep,
greed glitters in her eyes,
all workers are despised,
the evil one's don't weep,

The Marrow Thief
My gardening proclivity was widely recognised,
A gift to which my friends would all attest ;
A nuance of distinction in the flavour and the size
Produced a crop a cut above the rest.

A sorry saga started though when carrots disappeared
Then lettuces were strewn across the ground.
And in...

Blissful Marrow
Morning rays
Ebbing bays
Harlunger of
A fruitful phase

Butterfly flutters
To unidate a morning chatter
Unfurls its wing
A heel of rainbow
Sits on the cup
Share the nectar sip 
A touch divine 
Ensures you are fine 
A flutter of joy
O! that
Blush on cheeks cay

A journey of love making
Initiates convulsions rainy
Shower of Love
O!...

Ideas
or wordcraft
There’s times
you must choose

The style
or substance
Which one
left askew

One choice
or the other
Becomes 
zero-sum

Delivering 
prescience
If words
—on the run
