******((Army of love))******

beautiful mattress
hot and riled explosive gift
nature at her best
************************

***((Gone with the wind))***

the music
listen to the moaning wind
biting to the pain
*************************

******((Over & Over))******

the rainbow
fingertips touch a few drops
kiss of dew

*****((Midnight Cowgirl))*****

Texas scat, scat
puts it in, in the muddy hole
Cowgirls get it on

Premium Member Portrait of a Public Servant
It is 3:00 a.m. on an icy cold winter morning.
A piercing alarm shatters the silence at the station, and
he is sped away on a flashing red vehicle, horns blaring,
to respond to the emergency.
At the scene all three floors of the tenement are engulfed in flames...

THE LADY WHO BATHES IN PUBLIC

Premium Member I Just Hate Using Public Toilets
I hurry to the ladies toilets
Because I need to use the loo
But all the cubicles are occupied
(There’s a stench of rancid pooh)

I stand there with my legs crossed
And I do a little ‘dance’
Oh hurry up and vacate the stall
Or I’m going to pee my pants!

I...

To Thong In Public...
To wear a thong in public...
Not much chance of that...
Unless your the type...
That gets invited back...
For unlike the summer months...
What's there to show...
I myself...put it on the shelf...
As like most you know...
To thong in public...
That's a life time ago...
A little more to hide...
Even in summer...

Public Speaking


Public speaking made me nervous when I was in school
Getting up in front of class, I always lost my cool
I memorized my speeches and really knew them well
But between my brain and lips, things just didn’t jell

Here are a few examples with embarrassing details
“Saving...

The fear of Public Speaking  has been with me always
but never like it was on that June evening so many years ago.
I still get gut wrenching panic when I think about that time,
it really seems like only yesterday....

A late bloomer, extremely shy, it was...

Premium Member Public Speaking Ritual
Public speaking fear,
Relieved by a beer,
Can lead to audience loss,
You are filled with dread,
Words at mirror said,
Make you seem like you are boss.

Tell a short story,
Of me - no glory,
Make them laugh real good and loud.
Forget the content, 
They’ll think you’re bent,
Self-comedy wins a crowd....

Premium Member Discretion : Not For Public Consumption
It's a public forum,
you should be discreet
and not divulge everything 
to strangers you meet.

Some things should be 
left to imagination
and not detailed
for the entire nation.

Your feelings are hurt,
you feel betrayed.
Too late you regret
the comments you made.

Think before posting 
is my advice to you.
Once it's on...

PUBLIC TRANSPORT NATION


AH..the joys of public transportation
The “T”, the “El”, the “Tube”
short trips through hell
wading through the masses of humanity
clinging to the subways lack of sanity
sleeping men and women – homeless
sprawled upon the benches,
the less fortunate among us – “bums”
redefined as “monetarily deficient”.
“Elderly” – strap...

Premium Member Public Nuisance Number 1
Dragon made the papers for that very unfortunate Church event, toots sweet.
Then Dragon, suddenly, decided to finger-paint billboards, all over the town.
He’d discovered painting was sooo cool, and wanted to, spread his joy around.
It wouldn’t have been bad, but the Mayor was on them, and...

Premium Member Notions of the Poet-Sage
Random thoughts flutter across a page
And take shape in verses of expression
Reflecting the notions of the poet/sage.

While the actor repeats upon the stage
Phrases acting out playwright’s impression
Random thoughts flutter across a page.

Both painting portraits of love and rage
In concise words, the writer’s profession,
Reflecting the notions...

Premium Member Created Me a Circus
Big top three-ring-circus ferris wheel and sideshow freaks
Ringmaster draws your attention to the center ring
Presenting the bareback rider with a graceful fling

Silly clowns riding tricycles
Fierce animals and lion tamers
Elephants waiving their disclaimers

Cotton candy and merry-go-round
Trapeze acrobats dangling high in the air
Walking the tightrope without a...
