He is one of if not the most beautiful man, yet so brutal.
In the presence of his variants, all resistance is futile.
He's heroic in one, yet tragic in multiversal...

The Traveler Card

It could have been a jester
wrapped in shrink wrap
or a prince who danced
who spoke to me.
To go or stay
I didn’t know.
I didn’t know
as I drove to see a friend—
we’d just worked together
at a store but she left.
I followed the signs
to a new place.
I couldn’t get her
out of my mind.
Trees and parks
and rows of houses
rolled past

The Trump Card

The Trump Card
Our world, it burns in fits and starts
Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, Israel are parts
That burn aflame and tether on a brink
What do we need? A solution? A drink?
Truth be told it’s a matter of fate
Told in the stars at heaven’s gate.

A pack of cards in all the suits
Yeah we need good pairs of boots
Clubs,

Premium MemberInappropriate Advertiser's Greeting Card Image

This advertisement by ETSY is inappropriate. It depicts a greeting card of a man getting excited down there. And it crosses the line in the sand of what's decent and what's not. This picture is definitely distasteful and sexually suggestive, especially on a site that promotes its self as being family friendly.

It's like I'm visiting

MOTHERS DAY CARD

Poetry Soup Premiere Contest winner
MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025

Morning starts early, before it gets light
Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store
Teachable moments, with wrong versus right
Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door
Early bird children, are making their way
Ready to take on, another school week
So many hurdles, to

World Card Elements

From the Earth's deep slumber, ancient Gaia woke in pain, Whispering a plea to futures, a celestial rain, A trillion hearts of teenagers, called by name, Five champions arising, their destinies the same, For Gaia's love, they answered, to cleanse the Earth again.

From the Earth's rich bounty, one with grounded might, Fire's burning passion, shining

Premium MemberValentine of Mine

In the mailbox sat
This valentine of mine,
With no return address 
No name did they sign

Like my mind at the time
The little card was blank,
Who left it for me to find
… Just who do I thank?

Maybe it is best this way
Not knowing who it was,
Just another kind heart
Who put it there because 

It was February 14th,

The Only Card To Play

The sun has already gone down and there are no more places to roam
The kitchen is closed and the deal is on the road, take it or leave it even if you don’t believe it but this is the final card to play and destiny will have its way.
 
I gave you my word far

Credit Card

Put it on the credit card but pay it off quick
nothing hurts more than high interest that sticks
If you don't need it but buy it anyway
remember to enjoy it cause brother you will pay.

A Valentine Card

Style and grace
I thought I knew
Until I spent
my life with you

The joy you shower
my luck to claim
The love you flower
— my hearts refrain

A trick with a trump card

America’s next president,
Trump goes by the past precedent
And makes it not just great,
The greatest real estate,
Makes it almost a continent.
___________________
Happenings|10.01.2025| USA, humour

Poet’s note: And why not? Trump first wanted the US-built Panama Canal back to it, and then the whole of Greenland apart from eyeing Canada as the 51st State. Sure, he comes from real

On a playing card is a 
group of 
my cells whom have no 
bitter temper. They’re being gradually approached by 
the centre suit wearing 
trash symbol.
