Premium MemberHarbinger Row

I took a long drive down to Harbinger Row
Where the grass is all dead and the flowers won't grow 
Where the people and their pets are now long gone
And an icy cold wind whispers till the dawn

On certain nights you can hear the spirits cry
Under a pale-blue moon or a blood-red sky
They suffer and anguish

Lady Hope, harbinger of bliss

When Mr negativity comes and you open the door,
you find his friends along with him occupying your mind.
Mr. Negative, Mr.Despair, Mr Despondency all are thieves
They steal happiness and peace and make you a pauper,
You feel like dying

Always make lady Hope your best friend
she will bring her friends Positivity and Peace along with her
Create an armour

Written: March 4th 2024

Whilst waiting patience is a probity,
swifter straddling startled savvy scare
strong for people enduring anguish
trope for enthusiastic people, 
too lilliputian for those who cheer. 
Those who love recognize time as ethereal,
gifts of love are treasures to share
employ time

Premium MemberHarbinger Birds of Spring a Resurrection of Spring Life

With the incoming sounds of spring, a resurrection of life,
the chilliness flees. Quote _ by Poet

Ready for a new season, Spring birds
Shake off winter; embracing
The bonniest warmness weather,
Babies born, and color of nature's crowns.

Scarlet Tanagers chatter, flying round,
Feasting on caterpillar's slowness
And beetles boring away that are found;

whilst

Eternal sunlight reft through sturdy limbs
And myriad leaves of

Behold the harbinger of your ascendance,
A messenger of perfection, I commence.
Attacks are pointless, shortsighted, and weak.
I hold the power to bear you face defeat.

Oh harbinger, foretelling of your rise,
A beacon shining in the darkest skies
Perfection sought, your ascendance near,
But agnize that your attacks are pointless, I fear.

Shortsighted, blinded by your own might,
You cannot comprehend the

Harbinger

Misconstrued actions replayed,
Misinterpreted words sung,
Unspoken hatred nurtured,
Anarchy is inevitable.

Harbinger of Life

The season the tillers earnestly await,
The thirsty and parched celebrate,
The dead are awakened,
The weak are strengthened,
An envelope of life and beauty permeate.

Premium MemberSoul's Harbinger

A giant pearl, haunting the sky
Shimmering with a glow
That reflects a beautiful smile
A glimpse of forever
Found in your light

Silvery moon, walking the sky
Where will you shine your light tonight?
Romancing the earth with your easy
Way of gesturing to the stars
Where will you fall across my heart
In peaceful dreams, pausing

A giant nugget of the sweetest hue
Beckoning to

The Harbinger

Cast by a shadow
            So dark and fierce
       As the cavern below
           Pulling its course rapidly



          Of spirit vent

Premium MemberGentle Harbinger

Musing on this life of mine
Alone I wonder if it's time?
Robin sings in my heart
Fluttering wings like cupid's dart.

Have been hurt, no doubt caused pain
Hearing robin's song again
Before I journey who knows where?
Know angelic wings will take me there.

The time has come and gone again
I'm stoic now what's left to gain
The universe will keep me

Oodles of Robins Harbinger of Spring This Brutally Cold March 5th 2021

Oodles of robins; harbinger of spring this brutally cold March 5th, 2021

Turdus migratorius -
otherwise known as robin red breast
jabbering Kon'nichiwa i.e. honorable guest
gather materials to craft nest
their beaks poking soft ground
regarding persistent quest
to sustain diet of worms
twitter amongst themselves with zest.

Every square inch
of greensward awash
pinterestingly enough said essential
(avian) loungers - brash
to get first nib (bulls)
