Premium Member Spurned Love
She awoke
to a blazing sun,
brightest orb,
day’s lover.
The moon, jealous of her love,
cried for the night’s loss.

She, sleeping,
missed the soft caress,
silken touch,
palest rays
that beckoned her to waken
and taste their sweetness....

Premium Member Limerick: Once a Mom Tigress Spurned Her Lame-Born Cub
Limerick: Once a Mom Tigress spurned her lame-born cub

			for Commandant Cousteau’s son

Once a Mom Tigress spurned her lame-born cub 
Wild Life Champ admitted cub to his club
Took cub under his wing
Till she could wildly spring:
Club members now learn to swing the knobbed club.

Spurned
There was a courtly gent name Hearn.
Who was fastidious from stem to stern.
He showered morning and night.
Kept his teeth pearly white.
But couldn't find a wife worth a durn....

'spurned Date'
Guess what...I got her number,
I exclaimed in my slumber!
I woke up all excited,
believing love would make us united!

So I asked her out for a date,
knowing her reply would seal my fate!
She spurned my only request,
I gave up my dream conquest!

Wish she would understand me better,
I...

Spurned
Flopped like a wilting weed
Wedged in an arid crack,
Gobbled up the spurt of seed
And floundered on the back,
Spurned and cast away,
Swallowing with glee,
Begone, I tell myself,
As quick as you can be.

Flopped like a dying bloom
Dumped on a garbage heap,
Gobbled up in ashen flesh
And compost ridden...

Premium Member Spurned
God sent his Son, so long ago,
To take away all sin and woe.
But many hearts were closed in sin,
The Holy Gift could not get in.

Thus we still have unholy wars,
The greed and shame our God abhors.
He sent His Son to bring us love,
Fresh from the...

A Gift Spurned
A Christmas gift spurned 

In a busy Christmas street, I saw her; I was sure it was her,
the way she walked, I could sense her perfume too.
Ran after her, touched her shoulder said halloo, she turned
I had been wrong and said sorry.
She smiled and said,...

Premium Member Spurned Love
Oh wretched heart, that beats with sorrowed sighs,
And mourns the loss of love once held so dear,
For thou art now the object of despise,
Rejected by the one thou held so near.

Thou art the fool who loved with all thy might,
And gave thy soul to one...

Strelitzia reginea is utterly pretentious!
Its claim to fame is so contentious!
For it is not a bird, that's absurd!
As sinner impenitent, from paradise it's spurred....

Premium Member We Spurned Their Love
We were off to school
  and oh-so-brave
We spurned the love
  our parents gave

But now that they
  are in the grave
Too late we find
  their love we crave...

there was a young cad named O’Byrne
who dallied with the lasses and then spurned
till one day he tangled with Molly
who wouldn’t put up with such folly
and poor ole O’Byrne got burned

April
I can feel the gentle push
A yellow hue claims the blue
And I’m looking directly at you
At the end of April

Sunlight streaks down my neck like bugs
As they crawl to my back
Sifting their juices on my pale skin
Turning me red with embarrassment 

It hurts when you...
