Premium Member Silence of River Styx
In the shadows of the Montezuma mountains there lies an ethereal river
Ancient Greeks knew of it, and wrote legends, many which are lost.
She is the River Styx. Where your soul travels beyond flesh death.
It is a silent river; no words are exchanged. There is a...

The Ocotillo Invasion
Utah cringes as hacked Ocotillo turn carnivorous,
spitting psychoactive pollen into the atmosphere,
dusting entire subdivisions.

The victims wander,
searching eagerly for where sunlight is strongest.
A part of their backbrain
gets tickled by the sun
at an angle our old pituitary glands
have relearned to sense.

There have been reports that
the vision of...

not ours originally,but ours to maintain,

Premium Member Montezuma's Revenge
Must stay close to the WC

Senior Montezuma is laughing hysterically

Thoroughly enjoying his revenge at my expense

Didn't drink the water but it made no difference

Been back home for almost a week now

No relief in sight

Getting skinnier by the minute

Looking kind of emaciated and if you believe...

I Have Read
I have read about the destruction of jerusalem
But i do not think the mortality was greater than  in Mexico
When Cortez heard
that Monteczuma was approaching
Speaking through Malinche he hung round emperor montezuma´s neck a falze 
necklace
And he attempted to embrace him
But the scort composed of...

The Marching Band Played John Philip Sousa
The marching band played John Philip Sousa

My daddy held my hand

Lining the streets elbows to my head

My daddy put me on his shoulders, where I could stand

~

The marching marines stopped in front of us

And in synchrony stomped boots our way

The men sang in perfect harmony

Daddy...

What Makes Me Happy
What makes me happy?
Sometimes I wonder if anything makes me happy anymore,
But then I think,
There is something.
Several somethings.

I love her, my cat.
She may not like me too much,
But I love her more than a lot of things.
She's my baby.

I love it, my tv.
Comedy shows make...

Demons of Our Better Angels After Yeats
First were the clowns
Shadowy angst of the Deplored, 
Lurking at the periphery of our vision;
Then in the darkness, the stars wheel and weep;
As the hard words of hatred fly,
Let the Jews flee to Jerusalem.
Send the seed of Montezuma beyond the walls.
Cries from the shadows,
All hail...

Trees
The birch’s leaves seem to glow silver in sun’s light
While the trunk is ghostly white
The tree makes for nostalgic sight
But its beauty dazzles with delight

The willows crown is like liquid sunshine gold
When it tells ballads of the old
Through its boughs magic doors will unfold
When its...

The Godly Hand of Love
Under   
the bridge 
of Montezuma

homeward 
passage 
folding
 back 
upon itself

lost and found 
through
wasted caverns,

smother smeared
with dark despair,

find the solace,
earthly halo,

silver coated 
 light of dawn,

comes the maiden
of the mountain,

comes to lift you heaven 
mannered

comes to shine your face to 
angels

comes to spare your...

Premium Member Old Glory
Do not debauch the banner--red, white, and blue,
By waving it above traitorous insurrectionists’ yell.
Old Glory was “so gallantly streaming” in 1812,
It has stood the tests of time tried and true
From Iwo Jima, the Japanese sulfur island hell,
And the Halls of Montezuma, on history’s shelve.

Proudly, she...

You are telling them to leave to go wandering in the street; you are telling them to leave when there's nothing in the pantry to eat. Their ancestors have journeyed across the red sea when the pharaoh pronounced the annihilation decree, they had one choice...
