Premium Member It Would Be a Wondrous Thing
It would be a wondrous thing
If I chanced to see
Unicorns of ocean deep
Swimming nearby me.

Each one with a  spiraled tusk
Jutting from its jaw,
Swimming round about me; oh,
I would be in awe!

Clicking, squealing, whistling,
Swimming in their pod.
If I tried to join their group,
Would that seem...

Premium Member I Would Be a Nice Tall Oak
If I were a tree, I would be an oak. A laughing oak with dazzling shiny hair.
My leaves would twinkle and spin and prance happily in the summer.
I would watch over the squirrels with their chattering ways, and smile.
Loving the way they flip upside down...

Would Be a Liar
Would Be A Liar

Would be a liar
My entire desire
Will not grow higher.

Shower start off in
Which is best place to begin
Do what you intend.

Bare bodies were there
We put on soap everywhere
Our passion would share.

Proceeded to bed
And then heard what he has said
Glad that we are wed.

Knew...

To Leave Would Be a Sin
Watching the waves crash.
Slowly shifting shore.
Seabreeze blowing gently.
Sand ground into pores.
Matching natures rhythm.
My skin touches yours.
Vision of a goddess,
from long forgotten lore.

That Would Be a Nice Place For a Picnic
I can't have a picnic today.
The food, I can't afford to pay.
The price of gas and everything.
Even my heart can't afford to sing.

The blues are sung by yellow wrens.
And the camara's cover is still on the lens.
The joy in life is slowly fading.
As picnic ants...

Premium Member I Would Be a Fool
I would be a fool
To love you for your hair alone, 
(Though I could) , 
The unfurled flag of your femininity
Stirs my blood like a patriotic song.
Your curls are dappled clouds
That stretch like cresting waves
Across an inverted oceanic sky, 
Fall from the horizon of your...

Premium Member Life Would Be a Mistake
Your smile is contagious,
Your energy is endless,
But the most astonishing thing about you,
Is your commanding intelligence.

You’re caring and considerate,
You’re the icing on the cake,
And without your music,
The world would be a mistake....

Premium Member I Would Be a Boomslang
If I had a choice, I would be a green boomslang.
Reposing in a warm African tree,
 surveying zebras and elephants.

My back would be plastered with the prettiest
geometric shapes imaginable.
I would be six foot long, and 
scary.

If a tiger tried to climb my tree, I would
bare...

It Would Be a Bummer-Dying's Not Easy
It would be a bummer if they said you were gonna die,
I dont know what I'd do,  just sit there, run or cry.
I'm sure my thoughts would be a jumble, my head all a whirl would spin.
wondering just what now do I do, not...

Mom Thought I Would Be a Girl
Mom thought I would be a girl back in 1971.
She was surprised to learn that I was a son.
She was surprised but she wasn't disappointed in the least.
We were very close until the day when she became deceased.
When I was in Mom's womb, she thought...

Premium Member we guessed her tattoo would be a coffin
She was not a unicorn pink castle princess girl
her attitudes leaned more toward blacks and blues
she could find the horribleness in every situation
we understood this, but not her reasoning

we heard she had a tattoo, guessed it was a coffin
or a skull, or burned flesh, something...

Premium Member My Life Would Be a Riot
My life would be a riot
And my thoughts would be more bold
If my grave was not so quiet
And my girth was not so cold

I thought about a diet
But my precious life was sold
No reason left to buy it
When your brain is growing mold

I wish I...
