A child's first lynching

...Dressed in their Sunday best
Toothy grins
Pristine shoes
Eyes sparkling with joy
A simple family picture
The epitome of innocence 
'Spick and span' as they would say

A nice family outing

...
To thrushes’ serenade at blush of dawn
and with the blooming of magnolia trees,
sweet Summer wills the sun to smile upon
the meadow flowers scenting morning’s breeze.
Sometimes she’s mellow...

...such longing in a long sad, drawn-out train whistle
do metal objects have feelings?
this sound makes the idea plausible...

I have wanted a dog run built and it keeps getting promised
yet the powers that be have thrown rain into the equation

...I think about my life
Trying to understand it’s means
When I fall asleep, will it untangle in my dreams?

I look out of the window
And it’s all a bit surreal,
I’m not sure what I’m looking for ...

Premium MemberGlobulous Maroon

...Curdling wave of denatured purity
Milk and acid, perverted mated pair
Waltzing, obese ballroom spinners 
Twirling, breeders spun by children’s fingers 
A fleet, in concentric circles turning.

My Silent confessions were echoes retrieved,
from layers of longings, Often dreamt of with care.
My thoughts were well hidden, Lest others perceived,

There is a piece I've longed to share,
which, up 'til now, I wouldn't dare,
where courage pushes fear aside
and shackles up my foolish pride... 

To put to words, as much for me,

Sight Seeing

...From my English cottage
I can see America.
Éire sings, as it labors in my field of vision,
it's drunk on nostalgia as usual.

A great sail-winged albatross
glides across from one eye to the oth...

Feral Soul

...I'm the flicker, the flame, the spark when you can't see,
I'm the moonlight in the dark, a mystery.
I'm the rustling in the leaves, the breeze and the trees,
And maybe the wolf's howl on the wind ...

Artistic

...Pull out a single sheet of paper after burning a fat doobie.

These colored pencils,paints, and pens. 

How you do something to me.

As my thoughts are drawn out in black and shades of grey.

A short walk from the road
you are deep in forest. 
Tall mountain ash form 
pillars that hold up space 
and keep a cathedral 
of shade within its walls.
High overhead, a canopy
of leaves cur...

How Shy I Am

...Stay in my house
Five days straight
Perfectly glad.

I have good food
With good coffee
With good music.

Good internet
Cozy chill place
Read few good books.

Fav shows to watch
I have no...

Dawn raises night’s ebony shroud 
Drawn out is the grey screen of cloud
Sunburst rays descend with tinged flair
Dispersed sequins spread hues in air 
Bright pearls of dew sparkle and glow
