Premium Member 'Psychic Night with Karen' is happening at the local pub

It ends with the dogs of war being let loose,
Licking their bloody lips.
Karen overthrows and bestrides her enemy in the bloody fray,
Ignoring the loud exclamations of murder roared forth.

But it is impossible to discuss arrangements with 
An impulsive man who has tears 
In his eyes and both his 
Arms round your neck.

I listen to BBC Radio 4 on a Wednesday morning with breakfast -
Listeners are encouraged to meet the highly 
Intelligent, bright yellow blob,
That doesn't have a brain.

Where are you Madame Chrysanthème and your experiments?
Dirty. Loud. Brilliant.

Premium Member Well it seems to be happening '

A while ago you all might recall, I requested
Justice from the Lord.? No faith in lawfare I
Asked He take away the parasites, that destroyed
Much faith, I hear now that many are 
deceased.' Of those who hung with epstein
And on innocence did feast.' I'll recall here a saying
I learned it when young..God settles debts without
Money, always remember that my son.)

What's happening with Ben will he lead his men again


So will Ben be back to lead his men?

Stacks of hacks chiding with their pen

Question all asking time & time again!


Key and Baz hiding in their ECB den

Riled echo chamber dialled up to ten

Let us know and if not now then when!


Fall of Bazball no longer a verdant glen

Now bogged down in a waterlogged fen

Astounds as Baz all about pounds or yen

 
Folks a coup by you know who should ken

Stokes came first not the egg but’s the hen

Spicier than wasabi with his kemosabe zen


ECB on their tod as it all crumbles yet again

So odd sod the fans & their God called Ben

If is the end than ECB to hell we send Amen


Premium Member To the pred o viles, in congress '

Right now reside; millions of files, 
Where there should be no evil wiles
Yet it appears there? Is much rorting.!
Also rife cocaine snorting
With the protection; of most evil viles.!

All such in congress's  much revered seat.?
There law-takers! Are enact-ing the delete..
Of all evils; squirming like real weevils'
(To forge false history?) Most incomplete
Just, more palatable, to folk on the street.?

Premium Member Spontaneously happening

Continuity
is assumed~
before and after
framing stories
which appear to
rewrite what is
spontaneously

It Ain’t Happening

So many voices
From all over the world
Warnings repeated
But the authorities ignored them
Ignored the terrorists coming in from other lands
Ignored the man and his son
And the four guns they had
They also ignored the explosives
Luckily, they were not used
Fifteen people died that day
Thirty-eight people were wounded
The shooters even killed a ten-year-old girl
All because the authorities didn’t care
The time has come to change things
Make people pay attention
And do something to keep people safe
Because it sure ain’t happening now

Oh it's happening again

In this moment,
I see visions of bed sheet caught in slow motion, 
I see crinkles in corners of eyes and smiles that turn into giggles, 
I see screaming fingers tips up and down my skin, 
I see something new to brush my fingers through, 
I see him grazing his facial hair on my upper thighs, 
I see my new poems and problems coming about, 
I see myself saying “I need you” again.
oh no it’s happening again, 
Oh Oh it’s happening again, 
Oh it’s happened again.

Premium Member For The Story - Drivers

Calling all drivers,
does your car go in reverse?
Why are you over the parking line?
I cannot get into my car,
now waiting until you are done shopping.
For weeks,
it has been happening.
Put your car in reverse and park straight,
or leave your car home where it belongs.

Premium Member what seems happening

it's the

emptiness which

in its fullness

expresses what

seems happening

Profit and loss keep happening

Title of poem-
"Profit and loss keep happening

Sometimes silence is better, innocence is better
The foundation of some complicated relationships is also better
Why worry about this loneliness?
Why fear your own shadow?
Why break some priceless relationships?
Why get swept away by just people's words?
Life's flavor is unique, its rules are also unique
Some sour, some sweet...... some tangled, some untangled
How can you break that precious thread of patience in just two moments?
Profit and loss keep happening, don't they?"

Premium Member faerie anticipates a happening

Silent October forest
Frisky fey feel jolt of anticipation
Dwarfs, brownies, fireflies and faeries on ready alert
Something is about to happen

One tiny faerie is particularly clairvoyant and perceptive
She stares at a small fern, knowing this is where it will happen.
An inner voice urges her to keep focusing
And so she does…..

Halo of illumination slowly oozes out of the top of the fern.
Tiny star glimmers radiate from this halo.
Faerie begins to get answers to her lifelong questions.
An inner knowing reassures her, faerie godmother is here.

She knows she can return to this spot
Meditate to her heart’s happiness
And get other answers
It is more than enough
