Premium MemberBrother Almost Gets the Bid

Jewel encrusted baby fish from Beautiful Bizarre Magazine
Was gorgeous enough to suit an emperor, Miss Piggy or the queen.
How much do you think she will bring on Ebay? I asked my mother.
Not sure, she replied, better go ask your brother.

Brother bid twenty on the fish, and it zoomed up to twenty-two.
We all held our breath

Premium MemberAnother Year

A year has gone by, let it go,
Embrace the new year as it comes;
Past skirmishes, and slights, let go,
Let’s greet happiness in our homes;

Another year is upon us,
Amidst new start-ups and new hopes;
Time for us all to greet and bless,
Honest opinions avoid tropes;

One more year thus, has gone away,
Our blunders, still, are holding sway;
How have

Premium MemberMany-Hued Pubs Bid Me Welcome

Many-hued pubs bid me welcome
   As would friends on the street
And so does Cromwell Bridge
   Where long ago we first met.

I see the fields where we played
   And plucked up the kerry violets.
I gaze out over the dark bay
   Reflecting our lives as glass.

Memories live but a

Hands Bid Goodbye

An untouched cup of coffee
sleeps on the café table.

I want to take hold of your hands,
hands now clasped upon
a checkered tablecloth.

We both know it's over,
but no lies please.
being dumped
should be a fingertip moment.

Utter no pre-chosen words.
I promise to say nothing,

let the cooling,
once hot coffee, speak for us both.

Bid Me Not To Leave This Flame

Bid me not to leave this flame
This flame that burns, but ne’er consumes
Please let me stay within this smoke
Where You, not I, see through the fumes

Bid me not to leave this flame
For in this flame, You set me free
Though enter I with rope or chain
The ropes are burned; chains fall from me

Bid me not to

Premium MemberI Lost the Bid

I loved this opal ring instantly.
Began the bidding on eBay.
Thought I was getting it.
Another bidder jumped in.
Radical74.
He was fearless.
So was I.
We bid it up and up and up.
I bid it two hundred dollars past what I had decided would be my largest bid.
Finally giving it up.
In May I discovered that Radical74 was my daughter.
She had

Hail the Queen, We Bid You Ado

“Maybe in your next life “Krishna said

Because we really don’t know what happens, after your dead

Well, our president has beat the charge

our military now list him as “at large”? 

Tomorrow will still keep its Dawn

Because of a memory it must carry on


Will the criminals be allowed to rule?

And are we allowed the devils tools

Perhaps the

Splendid Youtube Accepted My Bid

I couldn't get a film career
I was very much interested
In our place they ignored me
I was helpless unfortunately

To become a film actor
Was like sheer gambling
Even if we act in one film
If it is a flop, totally lost

Approaching a director
Was an impossible task
They were inaccessible
And they were arrogant

Film institute said a firm no
When I wanted to

Premium MemberWinning the Bid

I won these at the auction she said!
They only cost me six hundred dollars!
EACH? I screeched.
“No, silly, the pair.”
“I thought they started at $38.”

“They did, but someone kept bidding them up.”
Later that day I met her mother.
“I tried to get those mermaids for my daughter”, she said.
“But they went way too high. I had to

We Bid Farewell

We bid you farewell,Oh Dear!
Farewell  Sweet Memory
Through faith We face reality.

Our God Himself descended
To his word We adhere
He held you a bit closer
and wiped away each tear.
He raised you to his land
with a loving hand,
We'll miss you Dear Uncle
We'll miss you Dear friend.

Until We meet again
In our hearts you will stand.

A hat covering white

I Bid You Goodbye

Sweet magnolia, petals of creamy white
an ornament hung on evergreen trees
Your beauty filled my eyes with such delight
sultry scent drifted upon Summer's breeze

Why do you quickly rush to blush in brown
when I've added fresh water to your vase?
Should I have left you as a jeweled crown
on the tree that offered you a birth place?

I beg

Premium MemberA Clown's Bid For Fame

Fun times,
I’m having with
bad rhymes.

They come
unbidden. They’re
so dumb.

Will lame     
lines bring this clown
great fame?

Unable To Bid Papa Goodbye

Nonagenarian father afflicted,
his body electric awry
with congenital heart failure,
before long twill bid existence bye
whose physical well being -
corporeal essence inevitably will die

unavoidable manifest destiny...
accompanied into afterlife courtesy death
envision caricature immortal grim reaper
moost ofttimes (normally leering)
brandishing trademark scythe,
impossible mission to skirt dark shadow

creeping closer along edge of night, not shy,
eclipsing former robust native son Brooklyn
once upon

Premium MemberBid Thee a Good Night

For I see thee fair maiden free,
Escape the bonds of horizons hold,
Set claim to your majestic crown to be,
That willfulness that causeth bold,
Luminescence thou has donned,
Traverse traipsing your eternal realm,
Beholden to thee cast our eyes bond,
For if I am a melody pray thee a psalm,
So that I may rest, sweetly to calm.

Bid Summer Adieu

Pastel skies bow to fall's bright tints , 
Awe struck by these sumptuous hues 
Leaves surrender their hold on trees,
Sweet musty scents wafts on a breeze 
As seasons yield to the other
I see dazzling beauty in change 
Time now to bid Summer adieu
