Common
From beneath a veil, A shroud itself hidden, Anonymity It's masquerade. Tired secrets languish, Benighted by nature, Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade. A sough in the head, Of their tepid maker, Whispers nothing, wholly unaware. Crafty camouflage, For the crafter of secrets, Who never knew they were there. The irony aroma, Stagnant blood without pressure, Metallic, unmoved, unaffected. Averse to sense, Illusory marionette's, Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected. And the...

Draw the heart
I draw the heart alone on a wall, I draw the heart on the night. Wanted to draw my heart on a heart, but it always kept itself out of sight, never appeared like the endless common tales under the sun, rain or the moonlight. (23.04.2025)  ...

It’s no accident that dentists, grave diggers and proctologists all share one thing in common: filling holes, teeth, and an occasional bottom. ...

Your Highness
25.04.08 Can your Highness give more promises? So much more that they can be broken, Minute by minute, day after day for decades. Can your Highness stay away? So far that I can't see your face, That will really make my day. Can your Highness make me blind? So blind I can not see any lies. Can your Highness make me deaf? So deaf I...

THE WELL OFF AND THE COMMON
There I stand before you, And then serve you, With all my efforts and joy, Which you do enjoy. But my works are erased from the pages of history, Could you tell me the reason for this behavior filled with mystery? I might not be a CEO or a manager, But I too am a human with emotions such as joy, grief...

Premium Member She gambled
She gambled on you She walked a bridge too far You didn't feel it true It was too high a bar She could have tried talking That way she would've known Behind your infatuation Real affection hadn't grown She thought there was a bond A mystical dream But the wizard lost his wand You were just a prop in...

Common Folk
Wonder how long it will take them to see I am a famous poet. See it is nice to see what other poets are doing to help others. If you aren't helping as a community then what are you doing? The answer is nothing, put the pen down, and go be lazy elsewhere. If you want proof, tombstone, “Say...

Premium Member Fanfares of the Common Man
At the breakdown of ages man disappears and reappears In the form of an easy-to-use scheme Over the last half-century, man has been replaced By technocratic ideas of what a man is But the real man can no longer fit into these forms, which have shrunk like old clothes. At the breakdown of ages, man is left to himself. Politicians and their...

Oy vey iz mir, one day in the life of a common house broken schmeckle
Oy vey iz mir, one day in the life of a common house broken schmeckle..., who did pötschke and squander many an opportunity to become a mensch instead he became persona non grata condemned to a history of misery, not unlike Doctor Hyde and Mister Jekyll, where friends, Romans countrymen did heckle. After all said and done, I best have stayed safe and sound in...

Premium Member Common Words
That rainbow, the colors, the shimmer and glow! But what do I know of light refraction? This Medical Illustration Man has been drawn with only nerve and bone. He's got a lot of nerve! A dandelion here on the edge of lawn has broken up, separated herself from the dance troupe, taken a bow. This gray elephant, ready to stampede...

Clinking, clinking I heard the clinking in repetition what could cause whatever object this is to make this clinking sound. Clink!

Premium Member Common Vocabulary
I could use common vocabulary, but to be honest I never liked it; The dictionary or the library, a scavenger hunt I’ll gladly commit; Buried within a myriad of books, or a placement on some forgotten list; Oh, the poetry that a word unhooks! Without that piece it’s so easily missed; Recalibrating an old phrase with flare, rearranged letters liven up the line; Describing the...

Premium Member The tip of the iceberg
I went to see the wounded boy in the hospital bed He knew not who had shot him nor why they wished him dead. His cousins sat nearby; I asked them for a clue They proceeded to tell me all they knew. "He flew in from Spain, wanted to go to MIT. First, he seemed...

Common Sense Returns
The country spoke in numbers strong rejecting notions, we knew were wrong. Porous borders against our laws, defund police, those thoughts are flawed. In regards to the letters, DEI and CRT return to the alphabet where you should be. Retail theft, okay with them no consequence, they steal again. Gender care or mutilate, once its done, it's too late! Men compete in women's sports, dashing hopes and wins...
