Courage, The Cowardly Dog

           Courage, lives in The Middle Of Nowhere,
                "there's something wrong here" — 
               the dog eats pancakes at the table,
         a Bagge over monsters, lap full of love, his Muriel

Premium MemberRobert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Photographs and Memories

A familiar voice sharing the past,
Remembering a place that didn’t last.

Sifting through ashes of another life,
Searching for beauty amongst the strife. 

Anguish surrounds me, a constant storm,
Cold and darkness, wanting to be warm.

Deprived of love, empty inside,
Shattered dreams, life denied.

Unresolved injustice, mistakes and fears, 
Yet I mourn those lost years.

No peace in silence when I’m alone,
I reach to hold you, but you’re gone.

Pain causes me to isolate,
Chaos in my head to medicate.

Photos are fading, music grows old,
Lyrics and melodies pierce my soul.

All I have left are these photographs and memories.

Premium Member700 Years - Dante Alighieri

Divine Comedy written by the famous, Dante Alighieri
A writer, a poet, and a philosopher with his own theory
Still hard to understand after 700 years
Listening to it in Italian brings tears to your eyes, that’s clear.

It took thirteen long years to complete
As you read about his first love, Beatrice Portinari, so sweet
Went to her grave with his love unrequited
He understood the love he held for her, which ignited
A poem, a line, he saw a lake under his feet

Midway upon the journey of our life is where he started his poem, so rife
They say the first three lines of this work are so well known
That even many who have never read it can recite them - it has been shown.

Life is true
Life is brave
Death is but a stage
So break a leg

Premium MemberSoulmates in Death

Death's cosmic cryptic child Edgar Allen Poe
Whose spirit danced and was drenched in woe
Words were his secular style shields 
Sugar skull sentences steam today in forever fields 

Virginia Clemm his beloved beauty wife 
A flowering fruition museum muse by his side
Alas, the silver scythe slid
With devouring disease, she succumbed to the soul pyramid

Premium MemberHaving A Ball


The illustrious Lucille Ball
For Ricky, she would fall
Left the world a little better
For everyone who met her!

I Love Lucy, the hit tv show,
With Ricky as Lucy’s Romeo,
Survived through many years,
Despite the creator’s fears,
Lucy would stir hearts in her shadow.

Lucy became a favorite performer.
She certainly wasn’t a benchwarmer.
Her heart worn on her sleeve,
Caused viewers to truly believe!

Premium MemberLudwig van Beethoven


Melodic ingenuity of Ludwig van Beethoven
raised music to the realm of art, cadence woven.
A piano virtuoso, he turned into a composer unique,
initiated the romantic era in coexistent classical music.

He infused momentum in symphony,
sonorous in the ninth with harmony.
     A few love affairs he had,
     but remained bachelor sad,
lived amidst failed romance in agony.

A romantic, he had a strong personality,
struggled heroically with deafness silently.
Despite affliction caused by leaded wine addiction,
composed transcendent music of designed perfection.

Premium MemberTALLEYRAND

Silk stocking filled with mud was Talleyrand.
With the future of France held in his hand,
He played kibitzer-informed cards with skill,
Maneuvering a Congress to his will.

There once was a Marquis named Talleyrand,
Who loved ladies and a fine sarabande
Smarts from ladies gained as a teen
Helped him escape the guillotine,
Surviving four regimes as he had planned.

Vested in priestly garb this backslidden Bishop
Chose diplomacy over baptism and hyssop.
Though Talleyrand walked with congenital limp,
He was never known as a diplomatic wimp.

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher 
thought no one could match her.
Her hair was laquered, never a mess;
she bought her knickers from M&S.

She did as she wanted to do -
and love her or hate her it's true -
she thought she was right,
ignoring the plight
of millions in the dole queue.

The poll tax was a big mistake;
her name was hated in its wake.
Replaced by Major, 'No,' she cried.
Some even partied when she died.

Premium MemberSugary words of lying dudes

a millionaire richer than the king,
with innocence he is but masking,
that he is out to ruin the country,
in process will fill his own pantry!

he kicked out Boris to get to his chair,
the damage was too much to do repair,
now claims he grew up without Sky,
this lie has caught him open fly,
we know! though he speaks chocolate eclairs!

We want a leader honest and true,
such leaders in the UK are but few!

Rats and moles are dressed up as Lions,
Think of Uncle Scar by J Irons?

Premium MemberRepresentative Marjorie Taylor Greene -- from Georgia



Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
would love to rip out your spleen
if Trump’s not the center of your world.
Her radical convictions she has loudly unfurled.

That she’s antisemitic is true
and, it seems, white supremacist too.
   She has praises for Putin.
   For some murders, she’s rootin’.
Certain Democrats make up this queue.

She speaks of family values and her Christianity,
then spews out venom. That hate is wrong, she cannot see.

Here’s one conspiracy theory that thrives in Greene’s head:
JFK Jr’s death was a Hillary “Clinton murder”~~that’s what she said!
