Premium Member I'm The Lord-Of Sort-Of
I’m the Lord-of
Kind-of Sort-of
Can’t make up my mind

No yes nor no
Just maybe baby
Give me some more time

I’m not ready
To go steady
Can’t we stick to dating

Don’t you worry
There’s no hurry
Nothing wrong with waiting	

As the Lord-of
Kind-of Sort-of
I will not court a bride

Til’ came the Queen
Of In-Between
Who also...

Mark Twain's Retort of Sort
At odds about the undertakers fees, Mark Twain jeered:
	“There is a system of extortion going on here!” 
	What horrific prices to pay for just a box and hole
	When it's not the body we care about, but the soul! 

This clerihew is derrived from reading Mark...

The Pond Called Love: a Sort of Short Satire
Some people do not fall in love
They jump, headfirst, heedlessly
With little thought of where they'll land

Others dip in a toe and then
Either slide in cautiously or
Retreat with great haste, in contempt

Still others trip, most gracelessly 
With much unseemly splashing
And left quite without their pride

Often, its...

Premium Member I Genius, Well Sort Of
I am a genius
I must profess
I have a Doctorate in bundling
And one in making my life a mess.

Everything I turn my hand to
My efforts soon turn to dust
I'm a knight in armour
But covered in dents and rust.

I once had a date
But turned up three hours...

Looked into her eyes and fell in love

sitting in the audience watching the actors

A Dirge of the Funeral Sort
And I don’t understand 
As I lay here in bed
The words in my head
The words of the dead
As I lay here in bed

And the marching band plays 
To the rhythm I say 
In the cold of the day
The rhythm I say
As the funeral band plays

I...

Sempiternal Sort of Love-Ten Word Challenge
 We had a sempiternal sort of love. We endured nightmares of broken glass and hours of pure bliss. It seemed strange how he loved me the way that he did. See, I was always his cynosure. His daylight focal point leading him into a...

OUT OF THE ORDINARY -il  sort de l'ordinaire
When dost my heart fall prey to agony?
Only when I recall what used to be

with ev'ry breath that swells inside of me.

Premium Member Sort of a Kinda Vague Language of Ours
I kinda, sorta want to talk about people who are vague.
It’s kinda really important to be clear about what you have to say.
To ramble and sorta kinda talk all hazy will never sound o.k..
It’s better to talk in black and white than a puffy sorta...

What Sort of Sorcery Is This
a phone call
a text
a stroke on my cheek
the way you weep
your sarcastic guile
a cheeky smile
you melt me
unambiguously lay my fear
at your feet
that hat tossed about
your head
your cherub nature
a tarnished sweetness
assails my heart
sorcery, magic, the dark; dark arts
whatever that is
is you
whatever will be
is you...

Sort of a Fairy Tale
White Knight gallantly galloped 
   swiftly 'pon his black steed
 to discernibly save the day, 
  pretty perky princess 'twas awe stricken
          with the well endowed stallion, 
they trotted abruptly into the future...

Premium Member Totality
weighing the total sum of existence
is not a skill which is given to us
lying well beyond realm of human minds
even those of prophets and wunderkinds
requiring eternal omnipotence
along with very dogged fixedness
on the tracking of every single change
within unending universe of strange
perhaps why all the gods...
