Premium Member Beryl the Peril
My auntie her first name is Beryl
Put other road users in peril
She mounted the sidewalk
The pedestrians squawk
and report her to Sherriff Merrill

The Sherriff puts her under arrest
as Beryl says she tried her best
But before Beryl kills
With her dire driving skills
He insisted she retakes her test

Premium Member Find Me At Six - Peril Out At Sea
Find me when you sail upon aqua seas, 
pretty Loreli the water spirit.
My haunting melody will entice you; 
I will lure you to come closer, closer.
Many sailors have perished on the rocks -
If you hear my voice, don’t try to find me!

Find me at six...

Prophecy's Peril
Armageddon approaches as
Bombastic
Charismatic characters'
Daring-do
Enlarges evil's
Fissure
Grown too
Huge horror of
Islamic
Jewish and Christian
Knockout
Linking
Menacing multiple
Nukes
Onto an ancient
Prophecy as
Quieter heads
Reasonably
Seeking solutions are
Turned 
Upon by
Vituperate voices
Wailing war who wait
Xpectantly for
Young
Zealots to enflame the world....

Premium Member A World In Peril
Life’s subjects, the human beings having fallen… 
into their own bottom wisdom of passing from being… 
now seeking a solution within the crime of themselves. 
Seeking high IQ’s found within their own natural corruptions…
great serpent spew. Woe unto the world of death’s back swirl… 
to...

Premium Member The Poets Peril
sometimes love is
a world misspelled
a cold that burns
a pain that yells
a gulp of whiskey
instead of water
besides an angel
the devils daughter
a cure that makes 
things worse
a blessing that turns 
into a curse
where cheeters get
the first place prize
and all promises
a pack of lies

how disappointing when 
the replacements...

Premium Member The Peril
It darts past then briefly hovers
picking up the scent of rotted fruit
following it to until it came to the source
where it feasts until bloated.

Back on the hunt it swoops
and dives like a bomb,
flashing its yellow and black body
a warning to all to keep away.

Uninvited it...

Yellow Peril
Existential fear, 
erected by the faceless horde;  
old yellow!
seismic,
voodoo wave,
dominating weak;
Our Territory and tenure.
Yellow Peril, in all his glory

The depths of disparity, 
neither somber or pallid;
chromaticity;
Old yellow!
Impending catastrophe;
A Permafrost wrap
Brazen
Yellow Peril, In all his glory

Hopeful Jubilation,
Bigotry 
segregation
Blind, 
Sad,
Immortal,
Yellow peril...

      with warming sun rays soft upon my cheeks

Premium Member In Deep Peril
While sailing unimpeded in the sea of hope
Sloshing over its expanding silver
Like a sailor addicted to the sea
Feeling the electric power of waves
Unwilling to be restrained
An avalanche of despair hit from behind
Shattering my Titanic like egg shells

I am now brutally ripped apart, 
Desperately clutching at...

Peril Us Aye Grant To Be Hurried Lee Read
Armageddon wold be an amazing boon
to accompany ourselves amidst others in rubble strewn cocoon 
or perchance an arid extra dry spell blows humungous dune
donning any brave soul to weather 
   fierce-some dust bowl appearing like a ghoulish goon
vis a vis via global sand...

Premium Member Planet In Peril
Our beloved Planet lies in peril...
The Lords of Passion would decree.
The weather's getting warmer
As any fool can plainly see.

But I hate to burst your bubble
As Mother Nature takes her course.
We be but a temporary infestation
That for the moment sallies forth.

The ice caps will lose their...

Animal Peril
Me with a dog,owl,and parrot 
Met a girl with a llama and horse
Out in the country beside a tree
What to do? Well, we stopped of course

Talking to my small gang of friends
I asked,"What's that look like to you?"
The dog said, "Bark!" I said, "Not the...

Premium Member Violence of Mind
Once a nation
Supremely white as driven snow,
Singularly Christian, white and male,
Purely untarnished, and aglow,
Grandeur unparalleled in fairytale.

Hence a grievance
Punitively bold as bloody hellfire, 
Potently prosecuted in seats of power,
Oppressively waged against objects of ire,
Prisms of nonwhites seeking justice in the hour. 

Now a leader
Colossally void...
