Premium Member Couplets On Life
Couplets On Life Miracle Man 10/11/2024 Life is like an episode of ups and downs, it induces smiles but sometimes frowns. Unknown to us, what each day will bring, so we seek God’s help to absorb it’s sting. But whatever comes we must seek resolve, any mistakes we’ve made God can absolve. But we must ask of Him, in faith, believing, before His forgiveness we...

Mixed reactions to Mark’s beckoning As they face their...

A Poet For All Seasons
I am not the perfect poet, you and I both know it, though surely we could share, our time with rhyme and reason, springtime, snowdrop, couplets, summer days of sunshine sonnets, autumnal skies of falling paper leaves, winters filled with warming verse? Perhaps I've been too scared, to tempt, or fraternise with fate, now having taken too long, and having left it all so late, to...

Premium Member Couplets Retro Curled
Imagine if a couplet traveled the world, gaining an accent before moving on; Repositioned from front to back twirled; An old rhyme harnessed and hurled, finding a backboard to bounce upon; Imagine if a couplet traveled the world; Tangled consonants mixed up and swirled, still holding it down prose's guardian; Repositioned from front to back twirled; Keeping every dialect preserved, poetry similar...

March
March is a soft conversation as I look out the window. March is the front lawn after shaking off remnants of snow. March is a sunny day and in the next a touch of rain. March is a branch swaying in the wind as it waits for the first bud. March is a kite on a string as it learns to dance. March is a...

There's A Monster Watching TV With Me!
There’s a Monster Watching TV With Me! by Lanier Thomas I know there is a monster watching over my shoulder. I wouldn’t think that if I were only a bit older. I feel it whenever I watch cartoons on my TV. I think it enjoys each and every one as much as me. I’ve never seen the monster, at least I...

Premium Member Hell
Hell Where will you go when you die? To hell I hope I have no doubt. The girls down there they do put out. The boys can party all night long. Drinking beer and pulling their shlong. The demons there are quite contrite. They swing their whips all through the night. And when I want to have a gas. I’ll kick the devil in...

Premium Member OFF THE BALCONY - Anacreontic Couplets
Roses spread with lace garter; Boutonnière and charter. Green meadow eyes clung to lass. Juliet was upper class. A shepherd was he, with crook. All gentle men, she forsook. Under the willow, the wind Warmed petals with no rescind. Tempo was slow with his bride Deep smile, a groom could not hide. Underneath his ruddy beard, “Reverie,” the garden cheered. How lucky was a poor man To find...
