Premium Member Silent Echoes of Her Tongue
It's always those who reside in our hearts,
whose words, like lightning,
electrocute our soul,

and in each pain there is a lesson.

Her life was like a room without a view,
those 'rainy day' eyes, 
could have formed a deep river,
but no ship sailed upon it,
to carry me to...

Tongues
Steady it wags
needing to know
more, about the
the very thing that
causes wars.
peace and pain.
I study my tongue.            
Much has been said
about the tongue yet
how has it pertained
to my own.

My tongue has delivered
and served, it...

Words Roll Off My Tongue
How easily the words roll off my tongue
when decisions become too hard to make.
Even then, I only admit them to myself.
Sometimes I get confused, indecisive, 
and hesitate in moments filled with doubt.

If only I had more confidence in myself
I would trust my voice not to...

Premium Member Shackling His Tongue
I am frustrated and annoyed by his ticking,
or perhaps it should be labeled the 'tocking'
By the never-ending tongue wagging clicking
in the language better known as 'clocking'

Must Grandfather Time command my life?
He so rudely continues without a thought
that his hammer yammering rhythm of strife
mocks the beating...

Premium Member Poetry Won'T Hold Her Tongue
Poetry won't hold her tongue
When desperate times
The little men they breed
Would counsel silence.

     She bursts instead Athenalike
     From out the wearied brain
     Or grows painfully from every vein
     Like...

Premium Member The Tongue
It slays without drawing a drop of blood
   In an instant, turns reputations to mud
Its eloquence sets the innocent free
   A serpent's weapon, resides in you and me

Guardian of a treasure trove of words
   Pink slashing plasma, mightier than...

Premium Member Tongue Twister
Come hither, Mister Delicious Sir.
Satiate my craving for saturating kisses.

Read these ready lips like romance fiction.
Practice your best parched desert depiction.

Slurp up this mist smorgasbord to savor
cherry chapstick and cinnamon disk's flavor.

Caress love's breath, pressed against companion lips.
Twist with saliva's textured slides and slips.

Play tongue...

Tongue Twister Time
What I know...I think

This is what I think I know or what I know I think
Dust upon a windy sky will cause my eyes to blink
Roads that lead to nowhere find there’s nowhere else to go
This is what I know I think or what I...

Tongue Twister Time
When you're wanting to bet
   On a racehorse, don't fret.
   With this tip from the stable door.
   Pair Wunwun with Tutu,
   A double that's for you.
   It's a wager you should not ignore

Pretty Polly picked a pen and pinpointed Peter Pan

The pink pinpointed pen pinned and...

A Thanksgiving Tongue Bathing
Tender pats of a grateful mum
Saved from deaths door and sure scorching
The heat and ash were so close to overpowering
When a savior reached out and lifted us to safety....

How can I say thankyou, you are my hero?
I have not words but an overflowing heart

Power of the Tongue
All 
your 
Armies
All 
your 
fighters
All 
your 
gangs 
and 
All 
your 
soldier.

I 
see 
a 
boy 
standing,  
all 
alone 
with 
a 
stone
soldiers 
standing 
with 
guns
Armies 
with 
guns 
as 
well 
facing 
the 
boy..

In 
his 
eyes, 
i 
see 
the 
sun,
in 
his 
smile, 
i 
see 
the 
moon.
And 
i 
wonder,...

Slip of the Tongue
I was a city born and city bred young fellow,
whose shoes had mostly only touched concrete and tar.
Oh yes I had seen grass, but out on a footy ground
and my entertainment was drinking at a nightclub bar.

As a city bred young bloke I had never...

A three-toed tree troll
tried to trap a leaping leprechaun
with a black claw bear paw trap.
But he stubbed toe three in the trap in the tree,
Snip snap toe three was gone.

The two-toed tree troll
tried to trap a laughing leprechaun
with a black claw bear paw trap.
But soon...
