Premium Member Whisky Moment
~the Fear of Never~ A DRINK TO REMEMBER!


   And the fire catches every time, my heart needs a sip
I bear no shame pouring, poisoned pabulum whisky down 
Lost in a place with hungry whores, ink paying  gigolos 
This night a respected gentleman...

Premium Member Butterfly Kisses
To touch someone’s eyelashes with your own
up close to their face, now isn’t that silly?
I can just hear all the virile men groan. . .
Butterfly kisses with one’s date? Really?

To tell you the truth, I’d not even heard
of butterfly kisses until one fine day,
and I...

It is the fragrant peel of Florida's fruit that comes in convenient slices.
The savory citrus that packs a punch - to my tongue it simply entices.
It is the sprightly stripe of a clown fish that says, "Look at me," unabashedly (no joke)
To read between the...

Don'T Give Up the Fight
Don't give up the fight

Vs 1
I know that you have suffered in the silence,
(but) I never knew that you would go this far...
I thought I understood your pain...
now memories...are all that remain...
now I look to the stars

Vs 2
I see in others eyes- they too feel...

To My Momma
Ok how do I do this
Where do I start
I can't remember much
But I love you with all my heart
To tell you the truth I'm really lost
I've relied on you for everything
You tried to give me the world
All I've given you is pain
Here's a shocker, I...

Premium Member Pompous Poet
So, I heard you don’t like my poetry style
Well,  I don’t give a toss
It’s water off a turtle’s tush…
(Forget the duck cos it's too cliché')

Who are you to judge what’s right or wrong?
You take pride in pointing out other's mistakes
with your mealy mouthed sarcastic...

Premium Member Have You Seen My Carflufflemoose
I wish to find my Carflufflemoose
He's smaller than a duck
With a long neck like a goose
Please tell me yes 
Oh tell me please
Have you seen one disguised as a trampolease.
He hops like a bunny
Bouncing quite high
A truly talented  Carflufflemoose
He can fly high in the...

Bertie bounced his bouncy ball by the bus stop but his brother caught the bouncy ball before the bus came.

Scrumptous Birthday Cake (For "dreamy Desserts" Contest Sponsored By: Linda-Marie Bariana)
(AKA - "Becca Baked My Birthday Cake")

Surprise!  Strawberry scents permeated the air.
Mountains of creamy pink lured fingertips.
Bewitching chocolate with fresh fruit inside, 
Luscious and succulent tempted watery lips.

Enlivened young children could hardly wait.
Tiny little fingers did not hesitate.
Dipping in the icing, a lip-smacking delight.
To...

DURING MY WORLDLY TRAVELS, I MET ARTHUR ITIS. 
   TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH HE WASN'T THE BRIGHTEST. 
   HIS GOAL IN LIFE IS DISTRIBUTING PAIN. 
   HE LOVES TO ACT UP DURING WINTER AND RAIN,

Premium Member I Was a Hippy
To tell you the truth 
In my days of youth

To put it quite mild, 
I was carefree and wild
  
A hipster by all means 
Wearing my wholly bellbottom jeans
 
Always said "Out-of-Sight" 
Sometimes, I would say "Dynamite" 
With friends, I was "Tight" 
Hey, I...

Premium Member Paradigm Shift
For years and years
I lived the curse of all women

A woman’s work is never done
That is, never finished
The more work I did the more work showed up
The To Do list was never ending
If I made a dent in it 
You couldn’t tell
 It was multiple...

Premium Member Chestnuts For Mother
______________________________________________________
It’s been ages since I cooked chestnuts for mother
Now that she’s in Heaven enjoying better things.
But each year she would ask me for her favourite 
Which always happened at Christmas.
And who am I to desist from giving her what she wanted.
