Premium Member Prequel To the Horses By Edwin Muir
It was not a decision taken lightly When we found that our free servitude Unrequited was by our chosen masters With their metal monsters they had fallen in love Growling,roaring and spitting fumes Our nostrils filling with the smell of burnt sugar Until that became an acrid stench Drowning all the sweet sounds and scents of nature In the raw Our fields they usurped While...

Edwin I Writ You a Perm
He came 'floatin' down the river on a truck tire tube With a rag round his head that was dipped in Lube Hung sunglasses on. . . held back by his ears Then he picked up a pen releasing the tears! Of all the ' Boo-Hooing' I confess he's the best Jerking...

Premium Member Whore Edwin Hofert
Whore Edwin Hofert Sure I'm on the right track both eyes set dead ahead. The big threat to my future came from back behind instead. Many of the ones I loved had launched their own attack. You see the ones I trusted had a clear shot at my back. I sat alone two years on end so broken up...

Premium Member Edwin Van Dusen - 1831-1903
