Premium Member The Ballad of Prospector Pete
Prospector Pete had roamed the hills fer years searchin' fer gold!
He and his faithful burro, Fred, were both growin' weary and old.
He'd looked fer color in many a mountain and stream in Colorado,
Lookin' fer that mother lode, that elusive vein, his own El Dorado!

Oh, he'd...

Elicit Illicit Lucid Dreams -Contains Nudity-
~JSLambert does not (currently:) use, or encourage hallucinogenic drug use.

    Telepathic psilocybin prescription erasing elastic depression. Competition 
wanes, just when nocturnal emission drains. Lifted poetic wing clipping. This 
party only makes sense to those encrypted with unconsciousness. Scalpel in 
hand, methodical break...

Santa Daddy
It seems that daddy loses ground
             when that old Santa comes around
For with his smile and apple cheeks
     caught by the glimpse of one who peeks

Excitement roars its fluffy...

OBSERVATION

Every town
I mean town or city
Has one
And it aint pretty
There’s this old, red brick building
Nothin on either side 
No place for a dealer or his junky to hide
Hell no!
This wreck’s been boarded-up for years
Everything all round’s been torn down
Once in a while some truck’ll ...

Premium Member Linda Alice
A poetess named Linda Alice Fowler
Chose the spirit animal owl for her
avatar and muse, and who
doesn’t worry ‘bout bird flu
with all her power, no not this prowler

True to herself and has keen intuition
If she appears in your dreams, pay her attention
It’s well-known symbolism
Embrace change with...

Premium Member Santa Jack
With Christmas time coming
It's time to call Jack
Sears needs a Santa
to get the Families back

They look for his number
It's no where to be found
They look in all the drawers
Managers buzzing all around

Then almost like magic
Who walks through the door
Sure enough it's Jack
no need to search...

Premium Member And Just Like That- TRI
Through the park I walked, alone 
As the moon reflected off the lake 
I made a wish and tossed a stone 
A sleeping owl, I did awake 

As the moon reflected off the lake  
Echoes chimed from the owl's hoots 
Distant sounds- train's whistle...

Premium Member My Thunderous Wondrous Electric Toy Train
It was shiny and bright sitting under the tree.
There were other things there, but that's all I could see:
a Lionel toy train on a circular track!
The caboose was maroon and the engine was black.

And to top it all off on this fine Christmas day,
was an...

Premium Member Public Nuisance Number 1
Dragon made the papers for that very unfortunate Church event, toots sweet.
Then Dragon, suddenly, decided to finger-paint billboards, all over the town.
He’d discovered painting was sooo cool, and wanted to, spread his joy around.
It wouldn’t have been bad, but the Mayor was on them, and...

Wind Beneath My Wings
Here's a good question - What would YOU do
If a plane you were sitting in, travelling to
Some hot sunny beach or a swimming pool blue

Suddenly started to shake and to shiver?
Making its passengers tremble and quiver?
I know what I'd do 'coz it happened to me!
I...

Fall-Ing In Love
It started out as a harmless flirtation
Nothing serious for three week’s of vacation

But Fall’s cool breeze must have blown love in
For we instantly connected, our souls akin

Soon we were spending all of our days together
And I knew he wasn’t just strutting his feathers

He liked me...
