Premium Member After the Interim
She met him in the interim,
 that space between endings and beginnings;
                                 a...

Silly Self-Talk
Silly Self-Talk

I had a conversation with myself, as many of us often do, 
I asked myself a question, and expected an answer too.

Did you ever take time out, to let your imagination run wild?
As you walked in the sand, bucket in hand like an innocent...

A Lazy Day
The sun beats down on this hot Sunday,
So under cover, I think we will stay.
Our dogs on the tiles are dozing,
We too, are relaxing, eyes closing.
Too hot for flies, to dry for mozzies,
A dip in the  pool for us in our cozies.
A cool breeze...

Premium Member Solstice Cycle
Solstice,
sign of Summer’s 
steamy red-hot realm of
searing sun and pool-side fun. Yet,
even as the heat waves strengthen, each day’s
shadows slowly lengthen, sowing
seeds that grow to snows that
coat the coming
Solstice,
waves of Winter’s 
stark cold kingdom coming.
Yet with subtle signs of hope for 
Spring. For even as...

Reflection of a Limetree Beach Paradise
I see the image of a white sandy beach,
Caressing the beautiful blue green water.

The tall palm trees randomly rooted along the shore,
Protecting all who walk there, keeping them cool on a warm day.

The cabanas on the beach, excellent shelter from the rays of the sun,
The...

Crush

> Kelvin:
I met her in party
By the pool of Oloika
The figure she was
That caught my attention
Despite the large crowd
And the many beautiful faces that filled the pool side
But the smile on her face
Made a big difference
Won't say she was the most beautiful
But most...

Summer's End...
No more pool side fun,

     As summer draws to an end;

          And leaves start to fall…...

Confrontation
Is it pulling too much?
Telling you such a lie
Rose petals no stem
Burning within your eyes
Cousin no kin
Parasite blemish
Demise
Is the telescope focus
Television choking
Tunes in disguise
Is it lyrical?
Down right a miracle
Taking pills 
Down throat soaking goodbyes
Is it ridicule?
Betraying backstabbing
Captivating surprise
Is it digital
Film making pitiful
Under rated 
Under aged...

If We Only Knew
If we only knew!

We are on the other side,
From when you lied,

If we only knew

That you were there to hide,
All the way on the other side,

If we only knew

When you’re going to make the big stride
To be my bride,

If we only knew

That you would leave...

More Than a Little

Two cotton heads Dixie Babel talking,
prickly said,
Darkies don’t know much of nothing

They got empty skulls
full of careless, tropical lazy
Coconut bodies just laying around tanning and slumber planning

Perfect slave tools
for us pyramid builders to use 
in erecting a cold, New World society

The two covetous, Egyptian overseers...

Local used bookshop, an easy energy
      comforting shelves crowded with tracks of wisdom,
      literature, philosophy, religion, the sciences  
      even graphic novels, saucy and weighty

A Pointed Bank Note
A bibliographic oceanographic espionage is merely a tidal titan in a mesmerising swimsuit sipping tequila sunrise on a pool side sun lounger on a large eighty foot yacht. Tactless men who smear defecation in print are quite often timely reminders of the inportantance of inner...

Premium Member Christmas Kind Of Love
When the warm nutmeg spirit of generosity
moves you year round,
a Mrs. Claus heart fills your smile.
It's a Christmas kind of love on
any given day,
it has you singing, "Joy to the World,"
with your Yuletide soul soaring 
pool side in the middle of July.
It's a Christmas kind...

The Leech
the tea glass was within his reach
his call for help made the people screech
put the tea glass in my hand
at pool side he was ban
for being a plain old, lazy leech...

Premium Member Aliens Confused by English Gibberish
What is that gizmo on your head?
Little doodad his son quickly said
Is it a whatchamacallit or a rinky dink?
Whatever you want Daddy, whatever you think.

The pool-side aliens who had been listening were trying to decipher
Words that made no sense, like vacuum, dust, and diaper
Gizmo? Doodad?...
