Premium Member Putin's Great Blunder

Putin said he wouldn't invade, but then he's known for his lies
So when he sent in his murdering scum, it came as no surprise 
It will go down in the annals of history, as Putin's great blunder 
And if anything it's united Ukraine, and not tore it asunder. 

American President Joe Biden has now found a way
To make that despicable war criminal, Vlad Putin pay
To Ukraine he's sending lethal predator, and reaper drones 
That will help to build stocks of dog food, of Russian bones. 

Russian soldiers are not human from what we have seen
You've read and seen the evidence, so you know what I mean
They're gutless and have yellow streaks all down their backs
And scurry down to the sewers when Ukraine counter attacks. 

Russians fire from a distance and let their lethal missiles fly
At hospitals, nurseries and any innocent civilians passing by
They only kill unarmed men, women and children, who pose no threat 
But Russia, the civilised world is watching  and we will not forget. 

Red flags are what the Russians are using, to justify a crime
But the world is not stupid and it can see through the grime
A Russian town on the border was shelled so they could blame Ukraine 
Then used it as an excuse to inflict, more misery and pain. 

Every Despot who commits war crimes will always pay the price
Putin the war dog will be put down, Ukraine will not think twice 
He'll have to surround himself with thugs and be lucky every day
But an avenger will only have to strike lucky once, to make Putin pay. 

No tears were shed when he lost his flagship, in the black sea
It is one lethal weapon less to use, against that war torn country 
The west thought sanctions alone would bring this war to an end
But it hasn't really worked, so more arms the west must send. 

The battle for the Eastern Donbas region is well underway 
And for those brave Ukrainian defenders, we must all pray
They're fighting to defend their freedom and sovereignty 
But only military aid from the West will ensure their victory. 

The horrific scenes we've seen on the news of towns reduced to rubble 
Are because Putin knows he's not winning and that he's in trouble 
At his forthcoming military parade, he's hoping to announce a victory 
But if he was an honest man he'd tell his country, that he's failed miserably.

Premium Member Yarrow

The yarrow is a show stealer,
       a charming wildflower and garden plant
                    that blooms perennially 
                    around June to August.
Beautifying nurseries, greenhouses and waysides;
           it comes in many hybrid of colors;
                                white,
                                 red,
                             pale-pink,
                    and especially yellow.
             Captivatingly striking in yellow;
        it's golden parasol glows like the sun.

           A flower of remarkable versatility!
       It can be used for seasonal decorations
                and has large flowerheads
                      that are also used 
         to flavor a variety of culinary dishes
                     It can be cut, dried
                  and arranged in a vase
            without losing it's gorgeous color.

                 It is a sun's best friend!

On Alabaster Wings

I dream of taking flight with you, around Saturn's rings
If only we could soar above the clouds on alabaster wings
Over mountains we'd fly until we reach the brightest star
I'd never tire of starlight dreams if that's where you are

"Elusive" is a word that never describes what we share
I know when I close my eyes, I'll find love waiting there
In your arms I feel a soft blush, warming my complexion
Our kisses grow passionate, igniting the flame of affection

An elliptical embrace, amidst the seducing central sun
Within stellar nurseries, where our love has been spun
Just like binary stars, exchanging solar sensual flares
Our love strengthens as we climb the seraphic stairs

As we sail celestial seas, I have your heart by my side
On alabaster wings, what an enchanting rhythmical ride
The universe our playground as we frolic through with ease
Your touch, a Supernova bliss breathing in a botanical breeze

We cling in love's embrace, once more circling 'round the moon
fearing the rising light of dawn will separate us much too soon
But each night I'll be with you when I close my eyes and dream
as we take flight amid the stars when moonlight is all agleam

War

WAR
Senseless killings
Barbaric and animalistic desires
Necrophilia and sadomasochism
Blinded by nationalistic pride
All out war
So babies have no where to hide
Drone attacks on hospitals and nurseries 
They bury their corpses
In cheap boxes
Bombs and guided missiles
Strike targets from the sky
The innocent are murdered
So I ask why 
Technology is pushed to its very limit
Seals fire shots with laser that beam it
With accuracy and precision
But what is yardstick to politicians’ decision?
Resources are channel to produce victory
The masses are slaughtered 
So again we repeat history
Both sides of the wall commit atrocities
The resurrection of man’s innate beastiality
Collateral damage caused in every surgical strike
And then we face reprisal
Explosives on trucks and even on a bike
IEDs!
So watch where you are stepping
Women are foes too 
So be careful with who you re helping
Suicide bombers looking for soft hits
Same was the 1960s and the 21st century is a repeat 
Nukes and ICBMs 
Delivery is eminent
Annihilation of the subhuman race
And to put our names in history’s place
Dooms day arrives
See the markings of World War III
Orbital bombardment from attack satellites 
But all you see is
Red light
Blue light
Then we are consumed by fire
I shall live beyond this day
So the devil is a liar
A million boots put in harms way
And with their blood they shall pay
Love ones wish they could stay
And pray not for that day
Torpedoes launched from submarines
Tomahawks fired from cruisers
The battle for oil and land
But we are all losers
War!

Kindergarten 101

A special place a kinder garden where no one know's hearts that harden                               
no burdens no worries be looking into grace filled eyes see starting                                  
full of questions to know you more lets play a game catch thee adored                               
a puppy never can compare to these little one's stares no one's bored                             
little ones smile as they sleep no more test when answers are deep                                
planted from above a true light not a sigh as they open eyes aright beep-beep                   
the way forgiving forever love no doubt a kindled flame no one can blow out                       
where a foot against a stone heals kicking up breathe's that only fill love shouts                     
an Uht-Oh is a bread nourishing the nursery a boo-boo is perfect drink no one thirsties        
thorn pricks only to fix death’s gone bye-bye mending all hurts no tears betwixt nurseries      
where the strongest tree no longer stands alone a home the only place to roam abiding          
a forest to play the lion riding cheek to cheek gently holding on to his mane flying              
to other garden’s where children lay hands opened wide receive the day                               
as the Father has freely given waiting for the new land of the living hooray                            
sons and daughters out love the other and come to me is the only suffer

Distorted Discourse

alcoholic actors age artificially
frustrated feminists fornicate fiendishly
clever cops cripple conspiracies
nervous nannies neglect nurseries
morbid ministers murder martyrs
jealous judges justify junkies
lazy lawyers liberate lunatics
paranoid pimps pacify prostitutes
emotional eccentrics execute evangelists
gullible gangsters glorify graveyards
horny hypocrites horrify humanists
impotent invalids inspire incest
scorned schizophrenics sabotage sanity
disgraced diplomats destroy democracy
tormented terrorists terminate treason
reformed revolutionaries regret redemption

Premium Member Tireless Universe

Tireless Universe
                    by Odin Roark

Time defies denial,
Knowing well its empirical presence
Will never be of absence.

Dense as its surrounding matter,
Its aged archives remain
Forever fortressed beneath passage and growth,
Like termite mounds of tunneled journeys,
A labyrinth of cosmic dust
Forever of remnant coatings
Upon endless bell tolling posterity.

Here within the maze of stellar nurseries,
Time’s infinite presence passes through our microcosm
As we attempt to aggrandize selfhood 
Beyond its limitations.

Like the beam of a miner’s lamp,
Our import seeks to impact the void,
While this depth of immense profundity
Reveals our illuminative essence
As more akin to a spark of flint
Confronting the revelation of existence.

Perhaps…

Somewhere beyond our consciousness,
Smiles mix with duration’s yawn, 
Humoring the metaphysical malady of rest deprivation.

After all,
Like time,
Existence has never slumbered.

Such a tireless universe this.

Premium Member Who Is Happier

Different generations 
Different life styles
From deficiency to abundance
From neglect to care
From basic education to higher education
From man monopolization to women arising
From single income bearers to both parents working
From self-raising babies to baby sisters to nurseries
Different generations
Different perspectives of life
Different hazards
Different confrontations
Who is happier
Man is always curious and greedy
They always make problems to be solve
Like pollution, wars, bribery, disputes,racism
Who is happier
Finally they will lean to religions
But who knows God is not to be bribed
God will only help those who help themselves

Premium Member Beautiful Spring Flowers

in my city of Canada ...
   the snowdrop flower ... welcomes Spring
      growing through the melting snow
         the flower contour is a snowdrop
    even a single is impressive
        snowdrops are a symbol used in poetry

       ~ soon garden nurseries are selling
pansies in a wild rainbow of saturations 
       that can survive our still cold nights ~

       and then come the petunias
     that cheerful garden favorite for window boxes
in a multitude of hues and configurations
            I love the type that grow like a wave
        for my hanging baskets ...

~ some of the names for petunia varieties 
      so poetically named are ... dream, magic
  cascade, horizon, fantasy, and more ~ 

but, my absolute favorite Spring flower
    is the tulip ... a jewel-like beauty
         that only blooms for 3 to 7 days 
           to create sweeping beds breathtaking ...
     in every tint and intensity imaginable and guise 
the spiritual meaning of a tulip is love, reflection, 
                 forgiveness and 'new beginnings' ...
        
        ~ a bit of history-  in 1945 Canada sheltered
the future Dutch Queen Julianna during WW2 Nazi
      occupation and in thanks the Dutch sent
 thousands of tulip bulbs ... and still do  ~

a single perfection, a ruffled, a striped... each beautiful

Flowers For Emma

The nurseries wake within their field,
as the Liliums lift and liberate.
Rise oh children of heaven,
for Emma speaks to you of joy…
She dances with Daisies,
amidst the diminishing dawn,
Pleasantly prancing ~
within perennial pastures;
The Gardenias gather amongst the mist,
for Emma quenches their thirst.
The Oncydium Orchids orchestrate,
symphonies of love…
She then gives compassion,
to the ruling Roses;
For she caresses them one by one…
Making the Peonies jealous.
The Dahlias are in disdain,
Spreading their colorful cluster,    
with exotic efflorescence;
The Violets are vigorous,
while the dormant Daffodils dream…
She then dines with the Delphinium,
And thus enters the court
of the Chrysanthemum Queen;
She cares for all her children,
Each a jewel from heaven…
Where Emma now resides.

The Walking Trees

The Peepal timidly peeped
From amid those tiny cracked bricks
Seeking the warm sunlight
It spread its arms wide

The rain water tenderly seeped
Nurturing this sapling that bravely sticks
Its head out into the foreign light
Against the crumbling wall’s side

The sapling grew diligently forward
From a young to a mature tree
A haven for chattering mynahs and singing koels
That feasted on its berries

These airy messengers when lifted upwards
Carrying its seeds and flying free
Until perching here or there they roll
The sleeping seeds into nurseries

The mighty Peepal now strong and tall
Viewed the green kingdom of trees
The wind carried its proud call
To spread the magic of walking trees

The Snow Has Come

The snow has come, 
everything is at a standstill. 
Everything grinds to a halt except, 
for the little children sledging. 
A little snow and the schools shut, 
The nurseries close down, nowhere 
to send the children. Ah, Grandparents" 

Must get to work, big project on, alas 
when I get there they too have shut down. 
Car stuck in the snow; how do I get it out? 
No shovel! "Heh, can I borrow your shovel?" 
"Not mine it's his but sure you can use it." 
"Thanks for the use of your shovel!" 
"Ok, can you give me a shove?" "Sure!" 

Back hurts, slipped disk, oh no, not again. 
Go to hospital, no staff, where are they? 
"Didn't you know, we had a snowfall today, 
no one turned up. I am the only one here. 
Never mind love, if you sit in the waiting room 
I'll make sure someone will come and see you. 
It could take three or four days but hang in there!"

Pretty flowering plant
Often seen at Christmas,
Indigenous to Mexico
Now available at nurseries
Showy scarlet bracts,
Each surrounding yellow flowers
That require much attention
Throughout the season
In order to re-bloom
And delight next year.

Green Turtles

Green turtles are listed as, endangered
and are mainly found, in tropical and sub-tropical sea oceans
they are one of the largest sea turtles, to have ever embraced our oceans
 and are the only Sea Turtle herbivore, and a great sea ocean mentor

Green turtles graze on seagrasses, that helps maintain beds of seagrass
and when they have digested, going to the dunny release’s vital nutrients 
for many species of plants and animals, as they thrive with stimulants
and seagrass beds are nurseries, for species to amass their social class

Sea turtles need beaches for nesting, but humans are encroaching
and they harvest their eggs, and hunt the adults for greedy investing
Coastal development, vehicle beach traffic, and other human activities 
are destroying sea turtle nesting, and climate change is male declining

Haiku Series - Desert Sands

the sand creeps
sand dunes grow... gaining ground
marram holds all together

desert mountains... dunes
imperceptible movers
yet always growing

on a windy day
a mile long sandy beach
not a place to be

sandy beaches
here one day... gone the next
hungry oceans

ripples in the sand
saltating grains form ripples
sand dunes nurseries

creatures of the sand
reptiles... insects... birds... mammals
oasis wildlife
