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...

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...

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...

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...

Ideas Will Eventually Spread Out To Create Some Sort of Functioning Universe
Those who complained about Thor’s left-field watery dip during last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron will likely roll their eyes at the number of superfluous scenes that flutter around Snyder’s DC Comics Cinematic Universe Scrapbook. Should anyone be surprised? Probably not. The marketing behind this...

A Sort of Super Mario Kind of Affair
Every day I am leaping higher
Jumping from brown blocks and green pipes.
From the pluck of fire flowers steams this passion that I pursue So adamantly.
Question mark filled boxes highlighted yellow.
Flickering on and off.
The alchemy of white gloves, stomping and flipping the backs of turtles.
Small mushroom...

A Rum Sort of Peace
the mundane world rolls on
silently roars the silver ocean
colourless yellow feelings sleep furiously
boundless, free, spread all over

without any contour
and an essence of percolating peace dawns
so ginormous is 'His' creation
ethereal beauty prevails

of the 'Unseen, Unknown Architect
How thank...

Premium Member Another Sort of Pain
I try to keep my brain alert
By writing poetry.
I am still trying to think,
But my mind is deserting me.

My mind is in a muddle,
As is my pitiful brain
It is a constant struggle
Am I going insane?

Or have I already gone
And I don't know it yet.
Will my...
