"When millions playing tennis,became champion I,see,

Then I didn't asked God why me",

Premium Member I'M Doing An Online Mental Age Test and So Select the Tab, 'I Reject All Birthday Parties'

the greenland shark can be seen around greenland
and the brain begins to slow at 24

my brain fully developed in primary school
but my face has yet to do so

toxins in the air juxtaposed with the fermi paradox
rivers of mercury and winston churchill's parrot

i want to move to monaco
where all the mitochondria gyrates

the school don't ask me...

Select Correct Object

here is her object
provide books we should select
which has been correct

miracles marry
in Dolly Partin Library
home books can carry

conflicts need to face
we will want a for certain place
with much style and grace

communion not serve
they sure have a lot of nerve
threw her for a curve

after a great search
find a place where God does perch
He is in their...

………………………………. the idea is to aver the overt statement
appear somewhere ……… even if it stultifies…
in rarefied realms sophisticate
………………… tuck the image in wayward
by all means deride the rhymer
………………. as the pen buckles under the eye's
squint-eyed callousness
some cribbed unfinished line

……….. a well-named bird say thrush
leaving its claw-prints
…………………………………… clear
……… perspicacious 
…………………… on early-sprinkled snow

Select Animosity That Is Abject

Select Animosity That is Abject

Trump selected animosity  that is abject;
On others wondered what was the effect;
Many did bother;
Mother and father;
In his own mind would be always correct.

Glad I Met You From the Select Few

expanding in nature
not waiting for time
yearning for beauty
glad i met you

wanting to set myself free
not waiting for the right moment
yearning for new experiences
glad i met you

the colors of all colors seem to
coexist in a peace only understood
by the most observant

the vibes of all vibes seem to have
a true understanding of the true essence 
of life...

Select A Character

I’m dressed for battle. Sword in my hand, shield covering my weak chest, my lungs heave. I stand, inexplicably tall and brass. Vision barely focusing on the girl in front of me, her pigtails are lopsided and her school dress wet. She looks up at me; our eyes meet momentarily and it feels like all...
