Yo Parents So Strict
My curfew according to my mom is, “before the sun goes down!”
She never gives me the time to meet with friends and hang around
My dad on the other hand lectures me in Korean
He still doesn’t realize that I literally cannot understand him
He might as well...

Premium Member No Reason
The rec was where we dug sandy tunnel dens 
in danger of collapse.There I fired my catapult 
on a group of three children some distance away 
as I hid behind a willow tree 
not far from the passage leading in. 

The straightness and speed of...

Things I Miss
Nostalgic Nights.
The smell of gas in the vintage moped I drove an hour to buy, 
Driving down that small-town street at night,
Lit by the dim bike light on that streetlight-less street.
Mixing gas with oil and lighting puddles afire. 
It was light in the dark and...

Remember the Days
Remember the days 

Remember the days before mobiles, 
Laptops and Internet not born, 
Made up our own entertainment, 
Today, our youngsters would scorn. 
 
Without Xbox or Play station gaming, 
What would our children, do for their fun? 
I played out, all kinds of weather,...

Premium Member My Baby's Room Is Empty
The movers came to clean out my house,
And said to one another
“Let’s remove ALL the furniture!
The baby carriage and accessories
have served their purpose.
That old stuff is nothing but clutter now.
Don’t let the mother see us
take everything out.
She might want to save her heirlooms:
uterus, cervix, tubes...

I have seen lines
all sought of lines
I have seen de horizon
under de sky, a sun ray as it plays-
I have seen majestic mountain ridge
with there geometric scribe
I have also seen 
a cloud silver line as it smiles
these represent creation finest

Man's thirst for riches caused this unnatural disaster....
Innocent creatures and the environment paid the awful price.
Prevention not reparation must rule endeavors.

Increasingly Palindromic Seasons
Spring's luster is dewed anew each morning
While Summer moods doom fear of Winter's cost.
'Til Fall, the redness sender gives us warning
That soon Winter's spider redips its web of frost. 

Spring's flower is a sire wolf fang piercing ground.
Summer's sunburn warming is a sign I'm raw.
Fall's...

Sounds of Prison
The constant rattling of chains,
Has been known to drive a man insane.
The steady clink of closed cell doors.
Voices filled with rage echoes down corridors.

Guards using night sticks banging off bars.
Menacing eyes looking out windows wish on a star.
Crys are heard into the night.
You can hear...

Premium Member foolish things
I do foolish things
when I'm blue
when I'm sad
and missing you

I do foolish things
like dancing all night
foolish things
drinking everything in sight

foolish things
shopping til I drop
foolish things
somehow, I cannot stop

doing foolish things
when I'm blue
when I'm sad
and missing you

I do foolish things
watching ‘parks & rec' all night
foolish things

Don't buy one, to save the species must all do our part
But must confess, on my rec room wall
A collection of oddities not that small
Of weird Walmart shoppers' that I recently disarmed...

Tucked away in his pants, 'scaped detection --
