Premium Member Enjoy Yourself
You work and work for years and years. You're always on the go. 
You never take a minute off, you're too busy makin' dough. 
Some day, you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire. 
Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old...

The Dragon and the Unicorn
One day Diaz the Dragon was hungry, but too tired to hunt
"Hmm, what's good to eat, I've already had a lamb, but he was a runt!"
In the woods he spied, Alessandra the unicorn. "Hmm," thought he,
"Why if I ate her, I'd have the strength of...

One Man, One Woman
“One man, one woman”
My father will sternly warn me
And severally, oh! Severally
Will he repeat in my hearings
Loudlier than ever saying
“Son will you take on too many woes”?

“Oh! My father” of what do you speak again
My tender heart skipping a hurdle
A firm handshake erupting
Between my pounding...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Design of Inhuman
The journey began from birth
 Since presented out into this life,
 The brow beating experience,
 Gloom besetting this vagabond soul
 Are harrowing like the trail in front,
 The ancestors had proclaim the future
 To be bright, baring all retributions
 Encounters in life,
 They have spat...

Why
Why go to sleep?
When we are the ones that have missing things.
Why take a breeze?
When I am the one that needs zephyr.

Why cry until you are satisfied?
When you are always dissatisfied.
Why go and feel contempt?
When we only need respect.
So, why do you expose yourself?
When you...

Premium Member Gossip Here, Gossip There
Gossip here, gossip there - best to steer clear.
If you do not, you can pay for it quite dear.
This applies if you're in the west or east,
For you don't want a brittle bug for feast.

Gossip here, gossip there - best not to do.
Doing so can...

It Was a Setup
IT WAS A SETUP

In the beginning the was word
And the word became flesh
It was a setup! When a virgin was with a child
And the little child shall lead them.

Et tu, Brute? Et tu, Brute?
In exchange of your brothers blood for the kisses of death? Oh!...

No Cross Surrogate
Such is your 'No' phobia, you repeatedly bite off more than you can chew
     Stuck as a broken record on yes, you agree to things you don't want to do 
     sign up for things you hate

Premium Member An Idiomatic Chicken Tale
An Idiomatic Chicken Tale

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,
you may bite off more than you can chew.
But if you do count, make sure you have
a bird in the hand rather than two in the bush.

When counting don’t put all of your eggs in one...

Unsure of where poetry ship is moored.

Distinctly from every ones due accord
We are looking forward to reading Ward

Of what we call the jovial Julia navigator.

Look forward to having her poems around

Zoo
Are you blue because the place you live is like a zoo and you don't have a clue of what to do? Your spouse is acting a louse, kids driving you mad, you feel you're in the monkey house.

So you grab a cold brew to...

Stop Spending
You always do this to me
spend money on things we don't need,
stop spending more than you have
you act like you're filled with greed.

You are always biting off
more than you can chew,
we would have more money
if you would stop buying booze.

Twenty dollars here
and thirty dollars there,
stop...

Premium Member Everyday There's Something New 2
Everyday there's something new 
What can I do when my sky  is blue. 
Everyday there's something new 
Now I wish I had a better view 

Everyday there's something new 
And there are some things I never do. 
Everyday there's something new 
And some things...

Inside Myself
Inside Myself


Inner strength,
Bring me peace.
Cover me over,
To be released.

Beauty inside,
Reveal yourself.
Find within,
The forgotten wealth.

Determination,
Prove to me.
So I don’t fail,
Or cease to believe.

Forgotten glory,
Shine again.
Return unto thee,
My heart to mend.

Veiled character,
Remain unstained.
Remove the dust,
That still remains.

Tampered spirits,
Revive your song.
Sing once more,
To whom you belong.

Unnamed splendor,
Rise again...

Premium Member I Am a Beast
I'll never hide behind words of God.
I'm standing right here, not blocking my blog.
I've been dealt many blows, by better than you.
Bring it on Rocky, you're a paper champion to.

You float like a butterfly, but you don't sting like a bee.
You fall to the ground,...
