Heart And Sole Complaint
Tho' they may display legs to best advantage, observing the constraints, begs the question, 'What's afoot?' Seems to me I had a bee in my bonnet about women's proclivities and passion when compelled to write this pseudo-sonnet about their footwear fashion. Some are bonkers barmy as bedbugs, daft, dippy, daffy, (with) bats in the belfry too, it's far beyond my reckoning, as I...

A complaint
If you don’t like my poem, just close it tight, It won’t harm me, I’ll be all right. History itself will judge, not we, Who stands tall, and who’s lesser, you’ll see. I write my verses as my heart desires, My only demand is truth that inspires. Better to cry out and die for what’s real Than cross to the other side...

Premium Member A God of Pain
Oh Lord, it seems to me, You are a God of pain without which some people say there is no gain. There is only so much that we creatures can bear and it’s sometimes I wonder if You really do care. Throughout the world You’re generally loved, hated or feared and there are certain times when You are very strongly...

Premium Member Complaint the Form
CONTRI and DISTRI Someone somewhere decided English needed to be changed. As usual with our copy-cat world, so dire an unthinking band wagon has spread as a forest fire. An academic,typically verbose, wrote 'why use one when two' could sound more up-to-date and new! Thus the 'double prefix' was conceived and sadly like a Topsy grew. Contri and Distri have wrongly become the norm...

Friday Night Check-ins The days have been calm and collected. The guests have been happy, content. The weekday staff scurry out from the hotel To avoid the upcoming event. Weekend receptionists tremble As the Friday night check-ins approach, Fearing the tsunami of wrinklies On their three-day excursions-by-coach. The first vehicle’s brakes squeal their warning As its door opens up with a sigh. The girl at the...
