Premium Member Back To September

A dash of red
In the leaves,
Points ahead
To old long sleeves

Makes us smile
If only a few,
For mile after mile
A brilliant view

Most welcome sights
And darker darks,
Set off the brights
Like scattered sparks

A change begin
Simply excites,
Takes place when
All orange ignites

Back to September 
We need you here,
One to remember 
Year after year.

Sonnet 2: The Ghost of the Crest

A single surge of emerald
and gray
Comes sweeping from the 
dark, untamed abyss,
To toss its silver crown of 
salty spray
And greet the shoreline with 
a freezing kiss.
It carries all the secrets of
the deep,
The weight of ships that
never found the shore,
The quiet dreams of fish that
swim and sleep,
The ancient storms that
shook the world before.
It curves into a perfect,
hollowing ring,
A fragile that shatters 
into light,
A passing king without a
court or king,
That vanishes inside the 
shifting night.
The water falls away to leave
the stone,
And walks into the 
wilderness alone.


Premium Member brilliant bumbling boos

squeamish squealing supernatural shroud
lightly lingering by a light pole, in no way loud
brilliant bumbling boos briefly bent and bowed
showing happy Halloween hijinks to the child-like crowd

Premium Member my potential is frighteningly brilliant

I could be a prima ballerina or a semi driver
could rename myself McCellihouti or McGiver
could become a psychologist, biologist, zoologist,
anthropologist, or an ultra-mologist.

My therapist stops me.
What is an ultra-mologist?
It’s a person who trains for every position just in case.
In case we get to live under the ocean or outer space.

I am not discounting any ideas, for they are all great you see.
Might even become an explorer and discover an unknown sea.
I could be a pirate queen and make others walk the plank.
Could become a wayfarer like my Uncle Hank.

I am open to any profession, for I am great at everything.
Can dance, knit, work on car engines, what will my life bring?
This might seem braggadocio from another.
But I am brilliant and talented – just ask my mother.

Life cannot put any limits on me, you see.
I am confident and wild and wooly and free.

        butterfly glitters with storm

brilliant coworker
exceptionally silent
never has to brag

quiet employee
morbidly unassuming
outshining others

Premium Member Perfect brilliant stillness

When heart sings the song of our soul,
meaning that no thought forms arise,
in time stretched silence, we feel whole,
delighting in offered surprise.

We feel within, magnetic heat,
when heart sings the song of our soul,
drenched in bliss mists from head to feet,
reclaiming joy our ego stole.

To entwine with God, is our goal,
Who leaps forward to embrace us,
when heart sings the song of our soul
and we embark on love’s bliss bus.

In staid silence coming undone,
beholding truth scriptures extol,
we feel with the universe one,
when heart sings the song of our soul.

Maxims

We're surrounded, or so it seems to me,
by some strange and stupid sayings,
as examples, here's but three...
Altho' outdated, 'How do you do?' is one,
and, if so asked, 'How do I do what?'
my response would be.
Another such, 'It's stunning!'
'Incapacitating' perhaps?
I think not, something there needs shunning.
Also, 'It's brilliant!', is another,
and, my thoughts about it,
'Sparkling, shiny at twilight time?'
I seriously doubt it.
But why are so many Brits compelled
to repeat these inanities, and who thinks them up?
More importantly, I'd like to apply for that job,
as I could conjure up even worse insanities.

Sherlock Holmes

When Holmes ejaculated,
'It doesn't take a brilliant detective
to identify many of the people
on this planet are damaged or defective,'
Dr. Watson was heard to observe,
'Never a truer word spoken.
Most we meet, at 221B Baker street,
are utterly, if not completely, broken.
Psychologists reason, 'Conditioning's the cause
for them to follow such absurd routines,'
but it's my considered and confirmed belief,
insanity really and truly runs in the genes.'
'pon reflection, in the blink of an eye,
quoth Sherlock in reply,
'All the King's horses and all the King's men,
couldn't put Humpty together again,
and the same goes for those we know.
But if I'm wrong on that, I'll eat your bowler hat,
or my deerstalker chapeau.'

She's the Rizz

"Cake and Jingle"
Written by
Aria Sooth wants
And
"Groovy"  A. Staves


She's the "Glam"
Gotta say she's glamorous
Soothing and sexy
Charismatic
Yeah she's got charm

She's the "RIZZ"
You know what I'm saying
With style and class
With main character energy
I love her smile
You know she ain't playin
attractiveness
We all agreed 
she got that
Type of  popular appeal


The soft launch
We got something
Going on
New to you
She and been dating
For sometime
Is it delusional
To say I am
Her only one
Am I crazy to say
I am her man

Brilliant White

The crowd drew close on the mountain top
Jesus is coming to preach once more
He entered upon the water He walked
They were anxious at what was in store
Angels surrounded the massive crowd
The people roared with joy and delight
Jesus has come again that's true
He entered clothed in brilliant white

ATTRACTION

This lady be causing 
Commotion 
Whenever she step in the place 
She's the controller, always taking control 
All eyes on her, she's attention stealer.

The way she dress
The way she moves
The way she does her things 
She's differ from the rest
I think she's the best
None can contest or compare.

In this conquest
She's the conquer 
Conquering all hearts 
Whosoever set eyes on her
She glows
Without toners, serums and more
Her skin is very brilliant, glimmering in distance.

Premium Member the brilliant sun

the brilliant sun
sending down cold rain
waves getting washed
umbrella protects
walking staying dry
