Battle of the Sexes??

Amorphous metrosexuals haggling over who’s going to hold the bags.


Sight seeing

Never ask directions of a man standing naked in a kayak


Hick up

Whiskey never asks permission of the permissive.


So sew

Thirty-three thimbles teetered on the table top.


Knothead

He drove the nail from one side of...

Premium Member Nagacourt, Nepal 2003
The hawk lay upon the lazy late afternoon 
air currents;
Floating, circling, spiraling, ever downward.
Its wings spread wide, white feather-tips splayed.
It teetered on the updraft 
above the terraced alluvial plains
in the lea of the Himalayas.
Landing with a compression of desire 
upon the crumbling limestone outcropping,
It stood...

Fa-Lal-La, Finding Enthusiam
Singing in the Rain by fodyne




By the time 
I teetered 
on my first bike
I learned
to       fa-la-la       
sing through        life
suffering smothered
by stories in song
I found friends ...

Glory
As you waved hand on that day and said goodbye
glum dusk crashed heart. A feign of goodbye
I uttered as I watched your back
till the crepuscular  veil swallowed you.

A bit of stream dripped from my eyes
evoked the memories of our deeds;
some things we have done...

When My Well Was Dry
Gone were the days when the sky fell on the ground
It was on a sunny day
I remember, her voice strung out in my sensitivity
I rushed to her to know what brought out her worry
In her eyes, I saw the fire blazing
I picked up the necessary...

Premium Member New Horizons
I teeter on the brink of possibility. 
The sun on the new horizon glistens 
its rays on the undulating sea of change. 

I gaze a while, drifting with a squawking gull, 
or diving with a hunting cormorant - 
lost in my imagination, caught in plausibility....

Total Eclipse of the Sun August 21, 2017
Though the starry eyed corona sporting sun dance 
cosmic phenomena (stealthily slated to describe mid expanse
night during broad daylight), this astronomical event common at a glance. 

Said Hal lens neigh saying Trojan Horse 
   advancing into Troy i.e. a stealth raid
occurs once every...

A Glasgow Blow-Up
Six blocks of flats were detonated yesterday in Glasgow, 
But only four fell down and tumbled to the ground:
The Red Road tower blocks, once the tallest in Europe,
Were the place where 5000 lived without a sound. 

Five were to be demolished as part of the...

Making Music Together
With a twinkling smile and a genial tone he said 
(Joyfully frolicking across the kitchen…and pointing at the bed)
“I think some love’n is now in order…”
She just snorted… shrugged her shoulder
(in her admirable self-denial ...her freakish kink)
she stood silent, caught …and irritable at the sink
He...

An ocean of people pulled by the moon
Frighteningly stand on foundations of sand.
A word deemed unkind will cause them to swoon
And so, by their hand, all dissent is banned.

Teetered precariously on their feels,
Not thinking it strange they constantly change.
Those thought against get no court of...

A Father's Influence
Trailing behind the bunch was Her. One whose equilibrium is so far forward, she trips on
her own breath. Her head was hanging low in self-pity, luckily, her rollie backpack was
acting as the gravitational pull, keeping her pudgy feet pan-caked to the ground. She
teetered like the...

Why the Willow Weeps
From seed to sapling it grew non-stop
On the tall majestic Mountain’s top
It spread its boughs and sank its roots
Deep into it’s fertile boots
But fear it did, though strong and stout
“What if the rains cease an’ begins a drought”

Soon it sheltered friends who came,
Shared its bounty...

Waiting
WAITING

From  here  my roost is not  far
Only   fogged.  Yet  paved  with tar.
I   am  that  teetered  beast 
Loose me , Awaiting me is a feast. 
I hear that drum of my hide rumble,
And...

Premium Member Age Doesn'T Matter When You'Re In Love
Susie teetered into Bill’s office, wearing a skintight miniskirt
Sat on Bill’s knee for dictation. She was an outrageous flirt
Soon Bill was smitten and couldn’t resist her ample charms
He forgot about his wife and kids and fell into Susie's arms

That was the lusty beginning of their...
