BazBull killed Test Cricket


Those BazBull bro’s kills what they said they'd save

Chill pill drills ho’s cheap thrills all traditions waive

Rave it's their fave the oldest format what they crave

Pretend that cricket lite ..might a bright future pave

Defend rascals debacles in Oz really was a close shave

Righto was sh*te say goodnight barmy tsunami wave

Did cave in hosts through thick & thin everything gave 

So goodbye to the superfly lie cheerio the final wave 

All a slave to T20 noble sort of this global sport a knave

Can't stave off woes depraved way they did play.. behave

Smarmy army hell bent heaven sent Tests to their grave

Feckless and Reckless

When will Baz..Ben & their men ken..learn

Despite or to spite the "has beens" concern

Trouble to rubble only listen to their bubble

That Bazball trite shi*e they're always right

Be true to thine self.. the cover drive shelf

Lack that knack & gift to swiftly shift back 

On pacy racy turfs where the conker surfs

Play it late and don't hit it on the up mate

Wafts of wishing fishing on the 5th stump

Down in the dump chump will then flump 

Snag trumped by the ball that did rag jump

Nicked to slip or off the glove it did thump

Rascals debacles and wickets castled slump

Head more pizzazz..razzmattazz did gazump

Smoother purer surer bravura groover jazz

Baz did kowtow to an Aussie..now take a bow

OZ's wizard of the wood blizzard was that good

Y'all we should clearly really call it "TRAV or is that CHAV BALL !

Premium Member I Dwell In Halo Clouds


I choose to dwell in frothy clouds…
with a mindset unfixed
Random instincts   spaced out 
In the cumulus mix
An expansive effusion
Far out and beyond my temporal shackles
Free are my thoughts without prompt
Closed minds shallow and 
desolate debacles
dissipate in this airy romp

On wispy clouds I dwell in…
high above I’ve risen
Here no need to reason
nor the blends of interpretation
Far away, so far from you, ascended 
From the fiery pit below
which awaits my return
Where blazing saddles shame my name
where gross gossip lives and 
bloody rumors stain, 
Ablaze are the blame games

I dwell in cirrus pillows…
The scoped hemispheric 
veils, bands and billows
Musings— using me

I chose to dwell in halo clouds
My mind with no refrains
Nothing to lose nothing to gain
A spirit free from hate 
Soley my mind
Opens heaven’s gate


Miracles, debacles, and oracles

To winners it’s a miracle,
To losers a sad debacle,
The winners win somehow
And losers know not how,
Both wish they were warned by an oracle.

Poet’s note: Recent elections have shown that all exit polls and predictions have gone wrong. Winners  know not how they won, nor the losers know why they lost. Miracle to some, to some debacle, all wish there was an oracle.

The Guardians

The master and wife
Came to disciples who pass,
The debacles of life.

Premium Member For Ever Is You

For Ever is you in my life
Two hearts inter twinned
You are the treasured wife
Two heart beats matched into a future destined

For Ever is you and I
Slaying dragons, building castles
An opportunity almost denied I
Bringing down the human debacles

For Ever is loving love you and you
Growing old watching the twilights
As seasons come and go
For Ever is eternity with you.


Premium Member A Warm Future

Mined and burned fuels that are fossil
Create debacles colossal
Large profits some got
But when nature gets hot
It will make past disasters seem docile

Time

Time

Time is like a unique magician , 
That can be seen throughout life of our own soul as sprite;
Time is an esteemed one, 
If thou don't avail it carefully or right. 

Time is like air, bumfuzzed with thy feelings
Travelling a hundred miles than borders
And margins  ;
A time can be of debacles, 
But don't yawn until thou become evanescent. 

Time is a game ( hardship) to play, 
Thee jump upon time to clutch it
But thou lay , 
Being weary at the effort and thou quit 
Time can be caught once if  you are a xerox, 
Of the cunning fox .

Airy Syllables Amputating

lousy lips laced
with gaunt gaze
projected per peacocky
enchanting pull pulsing
retracting reels rumbling
muffled messages mumbling

damped debacles dripping
saucy strapped in
freakishly folded feelings

cusses gulping graces
airy syllables amputating
relegating oily obloquy

parted limbs leaking
jumpy jazz jolting.

Tainted Translation

severed passion bleeding
mystic mucus. Brooding
punctured passion pruning
sour sorrow's verses.
Torn tainted translation
met smothered elation

void, castrated cubicle
damped by debacles;
lofty lust's oracle

callous hoisted heat
slew per licking
moistened mystical memories

felony familiar eyes
feign vile vice.

My Pal Ms Poetry

Rising from the mightiness of my mind's eye,
Diving through the everglade of my endless thoughts,
Dancing to the tunes of my triumph stories,
She came, My love!, to be by my side.

To pull me out of the misery of this chaotic world,
To sing a lullaby amidst the roars of selfish souls,
To liberate me from the loud moans of insensitivity,
She came, My love! , to give me serenity.

She came, My darling! she came into my lonely world
She spoke, my darling! She spoke the words of love.

She hosted my success parties
She eclipsed my debacles
She gulped the rancour of my loneliness
She spread the light of courage in the darkest hour of menace

She came, My darling! She came to wipe my tears
She sang, My darling! She sang the melody of morning dew.
Meet her, My darling! Greet her in this creamy dream
She is my companion in life's amazing stream.

Neither Ostracize Nor Stigmatize

Rejoice not when her financial muscle dwindles
Gout her feet and hand joints assails
A kleptomaniac her little cash swindles
The love of her life from away sails 

Rendering her social, financial and metabolic status repulsive
When in your considered view she reeks of misery
Driving your judgment and assessment compulsive
For a victim of usury projecting an appearance so dreary 

Her bearing, demeanour and gait 
Paint an apologetic figure
Teeming with an imaginary threat
That stands no chance in the rigour

Laughing at debacles the fallen
Surf at church, at home, at work, at social functions  
Where accusing fingers swollen
With hubris mete out sanctions

According to gang and clique standards
Demanding ostracization and demonization
At the earliest excuse gang bards
Demand to promote the most evil stigmatization

Despite a river of tears
She pours from her swollen eyes
Battling genuine fears
In the midst of heinous packs of lies

She strives to fight though her stamina at the lowest ebb
Staggers
As she navigates for several hours the web
In search of elusive answers, endeavouring from her aching back to withdraw barbs of daggers.

Time To Grow Up, Time To Let Go

A no brainer, my darling, to continue playing games
Steaming hot one moment, next moment blowing cold
As though cold water couldn’t quench love flames
When like a rogue driver brave braking action you withhold

Hoping a head on collision you can so prevent
With your eyes closed and bullying tactics pushed forward
To actualize an evolutionary event
In which we reap our fair reward

But for the umpteenth time
We run round and round in sterile circles
Aiming for progress only to mime an irrelevant rhyme
Expecting to work miracles

In scenarios you poison
On purpose
As I shout ‘treason’
From the servile source

You glorify
In earnestness
Only to magnify and stupefy
The sadness

That drowns my wonderful world in a sea of sorrow
Without any relief
Yesterday, today or tomorrow
As your mischief

Heightens my determination once and for all
To brighten up prospects for joy
To return to you and I despite the fall
From grace which at our expense debacles enjoy  

Unless either you and I decree it’s time to let go
Or it’s high time we grew up
Escapades, futilities, fantasies and failures to forgo
To gulp good tidings from our lofty love cup.

Chastise Monkey Chants

Monkey chant and fake fraternity front
Brandished on the grand soccer stage
Rush Russian bear invectives to decant
Insanity and indignity rolled into ribald rage.

Monkey chant and plastic smile politics grow blunter
In post-Soviet soccer stadia. Russian bears under the aegis of cosmopolitanism
Cultivate a bilateral and multilateral blunder
In a soccer show that rings and springs up hollow hooliganism.
 
Monkey chant voiced in soccer stadia
Embarrasses the beautiful ball with blue eyes
Brown eyes regardless of the putrid propaganda mass media
Propagate to unbind spectators in sub-human sties.
  
Monkey chant is a shame on humanity’s shoulders 
On which human faces united by soccer cry
For opportunities to brush and stash aside blunder boulders
That obstacles and debacles of racism and recidivism multiply.

Novel Refuge

Locked in the pages of a book 
I find sanctuary, a quiet nook,
Where I often retreat and find
the kindest heart, the vilest mind.

Whenever I feel like getting away
From the rigors of life on any day,
I step through the portals of a book
into a fantasy world and take a look:

At the mythical realms of dragons
Fairies, nymphs, demons, gorgons,
At the dreams, adventures and magic 
of life and death purpose and logic;

Folktales of love, miracles, covenants
Of knights, heroes and revenants,
Of saints, seers, demigods and mystics,
Priests, pundits, mullahs and clerics.

A vast chronicle of betrayal of trust
of reverence, innocence and lust,
Of deceit, debauchery and debacles
of witches, vampires and oracles.

 Deeds of dictators, despots, czars
The chaotic world of wasteful wars,
swarming with malicious mobs,
fawners, snivelers and slimy slobs.

Be it poetry, mystery or tragedy
Racy romance, fantasy, comedy, 
Oh, just give me but a book any
I will forgo a damsel’s company.
