Best Peter Out Poems


Premium Member Phillip Buster
Written by Gail DeBole

Phillip Buster could fluster a room -
Full of men whose anger ballooned
     When came his turn to speak,
     Congress snored for a week,
All dreaming he'd peter out soon.

The Golden Sun By Satis Shroff
THE GOLDEN SUN (Satis Shroff)



Through the cloudy veil

Appears the golden sun,

Changing the silvery North Sea

To a golden and crimson horizon.

The waves adorned with rich colours

Of yellow, orange blue and brown hues.



A fascinating play of colors,

Unfolding before your eyes.

Even the man-made Buhnen glow.

As you trudge on...

Unquotable quotes: Olympic Antics – XXXIII

Why do Judo-kas bother to wear anything at all since all they do is to try their very best to undress one another before hugging themselves on the mat?
Wrestlers at least take up perverse **** positions right from the start.
Besides,...

Going to get a “haircut” today
Actually getting all of them cut
Cutting just one would hardly be noticed
Now I'm being a silly nut

There's many other sayings similar to this
English is overloaded I find
Wanna hear some others I've discovered
Well stay tuned it'll blow your mind

“Keep your nose...

The poems have been flowing like a river

Must take advantage while it happens

I think they say, “while the iron is hot!”



Other very familiar idioms like...

“A bigger bang for your buck” sure has sexual overtones

“Take the bit between your teeth”

Again, do they all have sexual overtones...

The Extrreme Higgledy-Piggledy
A well-known saying that states
The truth is a proverb,
Obedience is better than sacrifices,
A proverb makes it known by all,
Paying attention when you are corrected
Is a sign of wisdom,
Stupidity it is,
To overrule corrections.

Open thy eyes and thy ears,
To see the evident matter that troubles
The entire world,
For...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 23
sometimes you have to look after your sanity
and try to understand the laws of sequence
where before and after absolutely must preexist
perhaps consciousness cannot access its source
but we're not automata and we've come a long way
through lunacy and habit and clutching
to the point where we have...

Flying Top Gun
He took flight into the runway setting sun
Knowing he had avoided his last medical 

And as the tumor burst
Rendering him comatose 
So he couldn't eject
He knew
He would never return 

This was an end of duty
But a noble way to die

For a Pilot who was listless...

Talk Therapy As Fulcrum To Leverage Psychological Ills
Oh...and hello
to you, some hours past, I
returned from counseling,

     albeit beastie boy 
     figuratively basking
in fading afterglow)
great kickstarter session,

countless moments ago,
sans treatment plan,
she facilitated emotional airflow

First Appreciable Healthy Snowfall 2022 Occurred January 28th
First appreciable (healthy) snowfall 2022 occurred January 28th

Virgin whiteness blankets terrestrial realm
bajillion snowflakes tumble out of sky
atavistic fascination awakened
agog at ice crystals stinging each eye
while I strike open mouthed stance
relishing tasting frozen water molecules.

No matter yours truly witnessed
countless winter wonderlands
since completing lxiii orbitz round the...

Lonliness
Friendship such a precious thing
 Someone to stand by on your wing
 A giver of all and good times  to bring
 Oh it is such a wonderful thing
 
But oh love eludes me still
 A hole in my heart nothing can fill
 A friendship...

Anticlimactic Mood After February 18th 2021 Snow Storm Subsided
Anticlimactic mood after February 18th, 2021 snow storm subsided

I hate spoiler alert
regarding weather forecasters prediction,
especially when meteorologist
wannabe spouse doth blurt
out impending blizzard
which never materializes.

Yours truly humbled and enamored
when Mother Nature
singly and/or nsync with old man winter
looses propensity to wreak havoc
and/or blankets landscape
I fondly think back
remembering '96...
