Premium Member You Kissed Him In Front of Me
You didn’t notice my tears.

As you both kissed each other
like two lonely plungers
who just escaped from plumber’s solitary confinement,
your eyes open and wander up.

You didn’t...

Containment of quarter moon identity

Spring Contrasts
The Gorse and Broom now spread a cloth of gold
Robe hillside thus in pristine Spring apparel
With garlands: snowy white, hedgerows enfold
Paired birds that now reprise...

Premium Member The Elephant In the Room

Devilish grins
Slapping Karma’s bottom,
A quarterback’s misguided win

Liar’s prophetic retinas glaze
With metric, disciplinary ruler

Yes, please

Whisper indoctrinated dialect
Upon my harrowing song

Place it upon my oblivious palm

As if we’re in a Sadie Hawkins...
