Skating upon Saturns rings,poem for a contest
What’s to love about skating?
Maybe it’s the feeling of being as free as having wings?
Escaping the world that held’s the blades of ancient kings
The norm that causes the destruction of art
And the deterioration of mankind’s heart
What’s so wrong with skating upon Saturns rings?
Wishing for something without the feeling of being tied to strings
There’s so

In Flight For a Contest
High up they all went,
Made with nylon and broomsticks,
Attached to a string,
We'd see whose could go highest,
It snapped and we chased along.

The Essence of Poets:Not For a Contest
Tis not I that shall reveal one poet for promotion
Have mercy on this fledgling for having that notion
Equally, I admire many with awesome devotion
Everyone I've met has been so friendly and kind
Singling out just one? To do that, I'm not inclined
Simply put, Thanks to all those who come to mind
Encouraging me until my poems are

A Relish Cake-Not For a Contest
What a horrible thought it would make
to think a pastry chef would ever bake
a delicate confection we know as cake
with chopped pickles...Oh, what a fake!
I prefer relish on a juicy hot dog in a bun
but not a relish cake. No, thank you, hun.
Not even a taste if you held a loaded gun.
That's all I

Lyric Poem For a Contest
"Outside the city where the pomegranates grow..."
In solitude, my soul bloomed alone,
A spiritual journey I pondered on,
For the world, I saw a giant pond,
I prayed for blessings, with a magic wand,
Deliverance from our virtual Armageddon,
From then on, I was not alone,
Collective blessings bloomed at home,
Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
In solitude, my soul bloomed

World Prayer - Not For a Contest
Why have the birds stopped singing
What is causing this restraint?
Why is the air full of gunsmoke
Why can’t the politicians get it right?
Why are good people dying
Where will it all end?
When will the word PEACE have a meaning
Will we have a sign from heaven?
Why is the peace sign round with no corners
With a semaphore of letters

In less than ten minutes for I'm on a rented text.
I feel I'm losing in this fight.
The clock is ticking and the time is tight.
Just one more line and

Story From the Angel...For a Contest
Released from hell I’ve finally been,
So many memories repressed,
The universe has lifted them away,
And now in silk I’m dressed.
I recall that moment before my soul,
Was arrogated by certain death.
Thou eyes were sealed, suppressed of life,
I believe I actually saw my last breathe.
Within that second all I saw,
Was a flash, a burst of all my past.
And

SUCCUBUS
kiss my neck,
bite it through.
watch it bleed my love for you.
suck it up,
lick it clean;
i watch from above,
deeply in dream.
and then i think,
and now i scream!!!!!!
(woke up(thank God!))
