Best Toss Out Poems


For My Children
You’re all in charge of authoring a story
Of love and humor, suspense and glory
You’re writing starts with your very first thought
And doesn’t end til your life is naught.

Know, My Dears, these books; your own
There are no cowriters; authors unknown
Flip those pages and make your quills...

 Take Out the Landry

Dirty laundry for years on the floor
finally the dirt is out the door
Quebec is cleaning house
separatists being laid to graves
like Napoleonic mouse's
bury their rhetoric too
twelve feet deep

Wrinkled ex leader with
no musket or balls
no lead, leaderless
man of poisoned dreams
nationalist and king of...

Premium Member Halloween Night
Come with us Halloweening.
We’ll frolic in the streets.
We’ll race from house to house to house
Spouting  “Trick-or-Treats.”

And eagerly we’ll each collect 
Confections in a bag.
Fellow ghouls, we’ll abandon you
If you even start to lag!

No slackers in OUR party
As we dash from door to door. 
Unlit...

Ah but what a radiant lass
Blonde and soft and born with class
Nightingale and nursing the unborn
Her heart is wrapped around all the forlorn

Loving animals
As only a Star knows
Her smile is soft and always glows
Cuddles and cwtch by the river that flows

Ah but one you see…...

Premium Member Now You Know
Why do some of us write poetry, what is it that makes us even care.
Could there be a specific reason behind the rhymes that we might choose to share.

Maybe it’s just for enjoyment, or a contest to let your words glisten.
You could be like the...

Premium Member An Occasional Chance Encounter
An occasional chance encounter
With a stranger on the street 
Can change life like a tidal wave
And lift us off our feet.
The mystery of wakefulness
Like the dance of rolling dice,
Is filled with rhythm, love and hate
Virtue, darkness, light. 
Bending ‘round from sky to ground,
Heaven, hell and...

Piles of things I need to do...

Piles of things I need to sort through,
Piles of things I'm collecting for his girls when they are older,
Piles of memories some that make me smile and some that make me cry,
Piles for his babies when they are old...

The Shed
The Shed.

The door creaks open and refracted light creeps in,
A place filled with creation, even in the bin.
Smells of shaven eucalypt and mountain ash fill up all the senses.
Planes, saws and a miriad of tools are propped atop the benches.

Unrecognisable shapes sit in the vice...

Goodbye Cruel World
Being the worlds chief of police
Is so overrated
With all that we do
And they all still hate us

We're only here 
To keep up the peace
Spread our name brand 
Of Democracy

If you don't love us
Then kindly leave us
If you don't trust us
Won't hurt our feelings believe us

We'll...

Moving Forward
Moving Forward

People are judged by their past,
No matter how clean they may be now. 
People toss out the new you, 
And focus on the old now.

Like back in '06
When you were a drug addict.
You went to rehab '06,
And have been sober ever since.

It's a new...

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

“psst…has joey been locked up
in the cage (vatican)?  has he been

Heritage Sponges
At least once a month
the stench from my kitchen
sponge gets so bad I refuse 

one more soap saturation
of this primitive sessile. 
Why is it that I can’t toss 

these replicas of marine life, 
amongst the simplest animal form, 
free of tissues, muscles, nerves 

and internal...
