Premium Member Elves On Strike
Santa was in his sleigh waiting to go
But the elf loading team was a no show
A strike had been called
Santa was appalled
The elves taunted him saying ho ho ho...

Santa muttered and swore under his breath
Warned the strikers they ain't seen nothing yet
Called his friend Bill...

Premium Member Craze During Football Game
CRAZE DURING FOOTBALL GAME

Up yellows; greens; reds and blue,
tell me! Tell me, who is through?
Passes. Crosses. Headers. Shots.
Volleys, blasters, more scissor kicks
tell me! Tell me, whose on the spot!

Ninety minutes with some overtime
eleven players playing in the field
each one targets to be World Champ!
The strikers...

Premium Member The Women's World Cup
Ponytails
Swishing madly,
Hurdling across the pitch.
Beads of sweat
Spraying in spirals
As fingers point,
Shouting directions
To strikers, wingers, and defensemen.

Defensewomen, really.

Get back!
Push it!
Don't lose form!
Take the shot!
Grazing past the clown gloves.
Concaving the thick nylon.
Back of the net glory!
Now run around like giddy school girls
For exactly 8 seconds.
Now mark your...

Premium Member The Chicago Haymarket Riot of 1886
It was in eighteen eighty-six in the streets of Chicago,
where the greatest miscarriage of justice people would know
transpired in an infamous labor-police rendezvous.
Albert Parsons led eighty thousand people on revue.
The strikers marched down Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.
The Knights of Labor were sponsors for the work stoppage...

Geometry of Life

Circle
I mean
One circle
Encircling you and me
And some other bigger and smaller circles

Let us draw some quadrilaterals of different sizes
Place those quads in and out side of the circles
Now you can see
The house
We live
In

Here
Right here
You are just a Carrom man 
Strikers are busy with you
Playing the...

At the Emirate
Excited voices like smoke choke the nest-like stardom
 As waves of hands in unison swim med through the summer sky
Blue and Red flags stood opposite with hostile winks
Forever green was the Emirate ready to swallow all assaults 
Songs of still-born victory banged the doors of...

Dragonfly
Jet,
yeas, it is mean clearly full ahead,
helicopter,
well, another oddly iron Robocopter.

But look for dragonfly
for his camouflaged flying
when he chased the flies and mosquitoes
and others supersensitive and artful pilots.

He is moved absolutely disorderedly
and unexplainable,
full ahead and full back
and topsy-torvy,
with instant accelerating
and the same deceleration,
from great speed
to...

Tear Gas Ticket
TEAR GAS TICKET

Gotta get home.
Comin' on night.
Notta time to roam.
Air tastin' fight.

Me, jump on a ride--
toward my town.
Tout, he says with pride--
‘Best bus around’

Next guy says to me
‘Drivers start strike--
We just have to see
What this ride’s like.’

Strikers kiss their stones
To Throw them straight.
'God please get...

Why Turn Against Each Other
Why are we turning against each other,
especially when we need each other most?
We kill, we shoot, we lose innocents
but why are we killing those who have done no harm
instead of those who have?

Why are we turning against each other?
Police officers shooting down teens,
people shooting down...

Fate Placed Me In Africa
Fate placed me here in Africa
Application I did not write
Now I love Africa, I serve Africa

I do not wish
to be British, American, Russian
I do not tell others to be African
Let Whites be Whites, Colored be Colored
Let Blacks be Blacks
Do not convert me too your thing

Another Type of Californication
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind’s elation
In time for the big election of the king of civilization
Why’d I have to win, I wanted retirement and a vacation

Well, time to go to Hollywood for an infinite adjuration
Give someone else the job ‘cause tomorrow...

Premium Member A B C Poem To Rev My Engines
Alabaster annoyance 
Blatantly breathes bulbous brightness
Cadaverous comedy caring 
Daintily during delicate delivery
Exciting elderly enigma.
Furious fiery feeler
Gregariously greets
High-handed hustler
Ignoring imaginative immediates
Jauntily jeering judiciously.
Kangaroo kisses kibitzes
Leaving luxurious loners
Merrily masticating mincemeat.
Never-do-wells needing knowledge
Ostentatiously officiate on orange orangutans.
Precariously polite Pomeranians
Quietly quiz querulous quoters
Reposing rapidly ruining
Still sassy strenuous strikers
Turning toward...
