The Unlikely Alliance
The unlikely alliance

for me you need not be clothed
I understand your fragility
of which the edges are like krill
To you I disclose my being,
for only you I rehearse my songs.
From the truest vestiges of the heart,
where the rumbling of the soul
and electric current making multiple zeds...

An Unlikely Romance
Unlikely
this romance between
Miss Cricket
and stodgy
Buddy Biddle, so stagnant
set in his ways, stuck

While Cricket
eighty-nine years young
dances rings
around him
full of impish energy
mischievous antics

He proposed
but Miss Cricket won't
marry him
knows better
she's outlived countless lovers
and won't be tied down

She's having
way too much fun- so
fancy-free
no one to
boss her, tell her what...

An Unlikely Friendship
Note about the poem: I am 10 and this is my first time writing a poem. This is about making a friendship with a dragon. I got my inspiration from the movie "How to Train your Dragon".


Those spiky scales across your back;
You walked along my...

An Unlikely Pair
An Unlikely Pair

Two animals were flying through the trees.
Happily singing were they, a bird and a bee.
Effervescently fluttering like magic fairies.

Before the sun had risen very high,
Iridescent wings beneath the sky
Raising their bodies each one spry.
Delighted wafting on the wind two fly.
Soaring as new heights...

Premium Member An Unlikely Prison
As a young girl, my innocence was
taken away from me.
I was defiled by someone who was
supposed to love me.
It went on for years until I screamed 
no more.
The one-act caused me to hate myself 
through and through.
I didn't love me, how could I, I thought...

An Unlikely Duo
Watching her board bathed in fog at the station
Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose
Usually a blur, not in this situation
Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows

Lugging a satchel in high heels and cotton
In her left hand rests a statue that grins
Such an odd...

An Unlikely Duo - the Sequel
White Cliffs of Dover now sponsored in daydreams
Reading each billboard that rusts on the sky
Checking a map though it’s for the wrong city
She sends a smile to the wink of his eye

Overhead cords hang to signal a stopping
Pulled like a kite that is fighting a...

Unlikely Coincidence'
Seperate generations of loyal fans
music charisma outstanding bands
king of rock....king of pop
Elvis and Michael were #1 chart tops...

Both had a flare for entertaining
all the girls screamed their daydreaming
gyrostyle hips with moonwalking bluesuede shoes
both still selling music and still in the news,
...deader than dead,worth more dead...

Unlikely Love Affair
With a rough tug.
Pain transcends through my body,
Like an angry hurricane.

A black hideous mark.
A trace of recurring agony.  
Left permanently to remind me.

Falling to the floor. 
A thud to my sides.
A soft cry of hurt and laughter.

A swollen limb.
Marks the end of every day.
Sleeping...

Unlikely Friends
I was wondering what you thought of me
Because lately I've been wondering such
I don't recognize that girl in the mirror
It's not the same feel nor touch
Her face, once defined by purple-ish lines
Is unrecognizable behind her mask
And trying to stay in loved ones lives
Has proved too...

Unlikely Friends
Friend, find solace next to me.  
Let me be a warm embrace.
Share your troubles and be free.
Our silver linings, we shall trace.

Let me be a warm embrace
when your sorrows chill to bone.
Our silver linings, we shall trace,
your tattered heart, together sewn.

When your sorrows chill...

An Unlikely Scare
If 'tis a fright, you so desire
Then I shall give thee words most dire
It's of a group that's filled with ire
Towards the common thrift-shop buyer
For what these shoppers do admire
Is lower cost, and not these higher
Prices that plague the attire
Of this group we deem a...

Premium Member George Gordon, Lord Byron's Unlikely Lament
I longed for a love pure like driven snow,
     untouched and vestal in the spring years to come;
the years came, and were gone until my woe
     over love now lost filled my present autumn.

Virgin, and never a...

Premium Member Most Unlikely Couple
She could not sew a stitch
In her wiring a glitch
Perfect stitching he didn't miss

She~a good business head
He's gifted knows good thread
Amour now does exist 

A wedding in their plans
Soon a gold wedding band
Differences makes for bliss

An Unlikely Husband
Some say men give you sanctuary 
others deem them sedimentary. 
My cousin claims they’re alive to cheat 
anyone and everyone that they meet. 
Yet some can’t help but fall in love 
saying he was their match; the other glove. 
Some blame the syllables of adoration...
