Premium Member Today's Weather Forecast: Severe Wind Warning

Due to growing Nimbus clouds of oppression
an area of low pressure has been building
Rest assured, it won't lead to bouts of depression
but rumblings of thunder have now been heard,
foreshadowing the bombs of fury soon to come.
Be advised: the ripping winds will not be deterred.

To counteract and neutralise any negative vibes
this Poetry Souper has been on a strict vegetarian diet
of lentils, cabbage soup, curry and beans; re-fried
They have been consumed in copious quantities.
Take shelter from wind gusts. There may be a riot!

Steps are being taken because many have died
from the expulsions of a toxic build up of gas.
It's predicted to be tornado level turbulence
emanating from winds blown out of my a s s
Anatomically referred to as expelled flatulence.

Blowouts should be considered as lethal blasts,
and not to be taken lightly, ignored, or scorned.
This is a public service alert of severe wind forecast.
The approaching storm is of gigantic proportions.
Gas masks are advised. You have been warned!

No Pardon For Severe Crime Done

If is committed a heinous crime
God will catch at the right time

The whole World will come to know
His real anger God will surely show

He will give a perfect check
For that unholy, dirty trick

Punishment He will heap
Adversity one must reap

Frauds deserve great penalty
As the intention is faulty

Never will God offer to forgive
They can never peacefully live

Always there will be a threat
Happiness they can never get

They will be strongly beaten
Until their bodies go rotten

In their chest, God will kick
Due to fear, they will go sick

God will strangulate their throat
Like humans cutting a goat

God will accept not any apology
And will not fall prey for eulogy

Premium Member Severe Wind Warning

At seven o’clock this morning
I farted without any warning
Blasted out of bed
Ouch! I bumped my head
Tum’s upset before day is dawning

 

Excess gas sure makes me feel ill
I swallow a black charcoal pill
From the break of dawn
I toot like a horn
I’m lucky hubby loves me still

I had a blast writing this fictional poem!

Severe Suffering

All I ever did was love and take good care of you, in return you took a knife and slice my heart in two
I became very ill after I put your happiness in front of mines, you were never worth fighting for after these horrible times.
The good life I have always tried to help and you did get caused many nights of extreme pain, I wonder to myself why did I care  for someone that was trying their best to drive me insane. 
One day will come when my heart will be very strong and not weak, then is when a taste of your own medicine for surely will bring an end to the tears falling down my cheek.

holding some writings near
the winds caress the evergreens (at least I can hear)
the war stories, oh my, oh my, oh dear
tangy peaches to eat
- then she sheds a tear
soul searching, 
the lack of clarity - now clear 
while 
wearing 
blankets 
worn 
by heroes
untold unsung
awe-inspired

Mother's Love

Saddened words too often heard
Been long enough left withered
Never knew what once hath done
Though, loveth heart of others before its gone

I laid blissfully beside gazing at her
For she missed her love, hadn't been there
She'd poured her love that always been
O, Etched my heart for what I'd seen

Why sorrow has been so tough?
For them life's been so rough
As I, to hide sorrows and live confined
But couldn't help tears hushes behind

In this despondency and dearthy sphere
Love become hatred:Human become severe
Yet, they thirst for love in distress 
Alas!!! Everything enters into emptiness

(I wrote this poem about the dog, who'd been aborted. She feed someone's puppies and care with love and affection even with knowing that they are not hers.)

Severe Weather Predictions

Severe Weather Predictions...
Professedly Plagues Psyche

I do not watch, while
     feigning to sip ale,
nor listen to Wail
ling Jennings poor
     imitation by prophetic
     local aborigines scent
     ting ancestor trail,
while plucking their

     Sing song ukulele
national anthem (tip towing
     thru the dale
lie la of hybrid tulips)
     hearty and hale
     Climatological headlines,
     more like a puffed up
     magical dragon exhale

ling nothing boot hot air,
     comprising a renown folk song,
     and/or futuristic tall tale
that usually pre
     dominate every airwave scale
ling the gamut of
     every frequency 24/7, rail
ling dire warnings,

     and no need prevails,
     particularly for those
     refusing to evacuate,
     and become sitting targets
     like quail caught
     in the cross hair
     for me to know
     onset of biblical pro

     portioned sized debacles
     (since joblessness thy status,
     cuz social security disability received),
     but more pertinently
     dire forecasts rarely manifest
     into monster mashing maelstroms
case in point
     being this predicted

     "three sisters of all hurricanes"
     Florence, Light
     Ning, and Gale,
found this storm chaser
     disappointed, cuz monstrous
     banshee's utter deplorable show
ranked as utter dud at least
     (in my book), they did fail

to wreak havoc
     falling far short
     to flatten every tree,
which limb mit
     to flash flooding
minor inconvenience
     forced every to sail
guy did by those freed from jail.

A Severe Beauty

Why is it all like this?
Such a mixture, such a mess?
One man only answers and makes sense
Beauty is for the looking
truth for the hearing
if you will
Love will lance your poison
drain the darkness
declare heaven
like a dandelion clock still telling
in the teeth of a gale
This severe love is no sweet tale
Life and death don’t play games
but love embraces all
with a driven heart like driven nails
Draw near, stretch out to hear
for only one thing matters
and all will be made clear

Severe Judgement

Torn dress in my hand 
Day old mascara running down my cheek
I whisper help to a stranger 
but no one hears my cry
The moonlight dims behind a cloud 
Darkness is all that I see
The road is cold and damp, but I keep running
Running from the shadow 
There is no place to hide
I sense his presence near
I have to pray to keep him away
He only wants my sins
Lord keep me safe from his hell
I was waiting for a miracle to come
Don't let him take me
I close my eyes to feel God
I shout into the night sky
only you are welcome here
Silence is broken as he takes my last breath.

Winter Seemed So Severe Again This Year

Winter seems to be so severe;
Had tormented while it is here;
Spring is now and am impressed;
Up things seems to be all dressed.

Another new year did reappear
While my horse thinks it is *****;
Each flower has began to bloom;
Swept leaves away with a broom.

Remained alone in my room day by day;
No longer on earth will remain and stay;
In heaven beloved God would receive;
Behind all of my loved ones did leave.

A severe thunderstorm is currently passing through
Our Golden is hiding behind my LA-Z-BOY on queue
A scared-y-cat pooch
Needs some hooch
To help her get through without dropping a poo!

A poem form with severe limitations

Add many stringent applications 

Does one write with intellect

Oh! Heck, incorrect!

'Tis shot down!

Decked! 

So this clown

Will just disconnect

Don't worry 'bout that aspect

Whoa! Just do total aberration

Severe Nostalgia

whilst bored as ****
sitting in front of the 
screen, wanting to 
remember better days,
wanting to feel like it
never ended, wanting to
feel young again, wanting
to have the heart stir,
wanting to feel the ears
pang with noise,
wanting to sway in the crowd,
wanting it all to 
seem better again &
alive,
oh, so alive---
s/he turns to youtube,
wonderful, blissgiving 
youtube,
who stores the footage of said
favorite bands of
yesteryear &
s/he starts to watch & relive,
watch & relive,
pondering how back then
in such a wonderful state of awe,
s/he really didn’t know a thing,
s/he had no idea of just how quick
it would all go away &
becoming jealous of the wandering
youth of today &
becoming spiteful, bitter &
with all those horrible flooding notions,
s/he gets angry at her/his favorite 
band, who,
like her/him,
has rotted away as well, 
sold out, disappeared & then
pathetically attempted to resurrect &
reinvigorate,
a corpse that was no longer relevant or
energetic, to say the least &
with a 1000 tears blistering inside,
s/he mutter to her/himself in the
deep dark seclusion 
of a night spent home in front of the
screen,
“this, is how i want to remember them…yes,
this is how i want to remember them,”
knowing all to well that
“then,”
is all s/he wants to remember.

A Severe and Constant Struggle

From the time of Washington to today,
We have been in a "severe and constant struggle"
For America to be America again.
We have been hindered, but not stopped, 
Chained but not bound,
Beaten but not killed, dying, but we live;
And in afflictions and many distresses,
In prison and in much necessity,
The Souls of Black Folk refuse to die;
While there is life, there is hope.

From the time of Washington to today,
We have had a "severe and constant struggle"
For a generation of possibilities.
We have been sorrowful, but always rejoicing,
Dishonored, but always honorable,
Weakened, but always strong,
Poor, but possessing all things,
And with tears and many fastings,
With infirmities and watchings,
The Crisis caused faith to draw nigh.
The noose vanished from the rope.

From the time of Washington to today,
We have been in a "severe and constant struggle"
For rights and privileges without his compromise.
We have been ignored, but now recognized,
Defamed, but now praised,
Disapproved, but now commended,
Cast down, but we're lifted up,
And in patience and in the quiet,
In the power and in riots,
Let the Trumpet Sound with a loud cry, 
While the Talented Tenth break the yoke.

From the time of Washington to today,
We have fought the good fight;
We have waded and walked on water,
And we have overcome!
Because we give a "severe and constant struggle"
For America to be America again.
