Incantations of an Entangled Pair
	Third Draft
(c) 2025 by The Entangled Pair

It's after midnight where you are,
the show is done, the venue closed.
Four thousand miles away I read
these words that you have just composed.

"Just finished with the show now love, 
I'll write to you when I get home."
And as I sit here by myself,
I'm feeling lonely,

some of whom were more than just his 'pals'

nothwithstanding his  'ladies' portrayed so temptingly

Please don't ask me how deeply it hurt!
Her sun shone so bright, even the shadows were burning!

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

On Wings of Hope


Attempting as a neon butterly, to touch the gentleness of your soul.

To light your bright candle of love, swirling in wisdom, is my vision and goal!

Clerimerick Couplets Me

Introducing Mark Toney
The real McCoy, not phony
Works hard on accounting and income taxes
Writes poetry and prose as he relaxes

Mark fancied himself a tax expert
Cool pocket protector on his shirt
Touting tax tips he tried
Till terribly tongue-tied
Nevermore will he overexert

Hundreds flocking to Mark’s door
What does tax time have in store?
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

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

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

Ode To God's Sweet Creation Anacreontic Couplets

Ode to the morning sun 
shining til' the day is done 

Ode to the moon so bright  
giving us, Lucasta Light  

Ode to that star gazed-room  
custom built,.. God's  anteroom   

Ode to Creation Days 
made for earthling castaways 

like you and I :)
