Premium Member The Wheel of Fortune

The wheel of fortune has spun our way,
we’re on Spring-break for 8 more days!

The transition to leisure was as smooth as oil,
without classes, he’s just a guy and I’m his girl.

For three weeks we’ll have had the suite to ourselves, 
it has all the amenities, it’s like a hotel.

We’ve never been together, alone, for so long before,
it’s so deliciously heterodox, it’s like a reward.

Peter (my BF) observed, “This will be a reality check.” 
Yeah, he’s a hopeless romantic.
“Sorry sir,” I said, “It's my policy not to cash reality checks.”

Premium Member An Idea Sprouts

An idea sprouts
  a heterodox notion
Sweeps 'cross my radar ~
  atavistic wave on the ocean...

Can there really be
  in this metaverse evolved
A concept so novel, so fresh
  it gets people involved...

Sharing My Political Opinion
for 11-22-2019
By: Tom Wright

I find socialist thinking,
to be quite heterodox.
 But they, in turn, must believe,
they’re smarter than a fox.

Each proposal would be paid for,
with a new wealth tax.
But most couldn’t care less,
just who it impacts.

They’d bring this financing,
into the government coffers.
Where they’d gobble it up,
with other hungry political scoffers.

Thinking that the government,
could much better disperse.
When they can’t agree on anything,
because both parties are adverse.

They seek to win an election,
by promising free stuff for votes.
Then stuff their own pockets,
as the national debt bloats.

Many are elected with little,
and soon become millionaires.
Thinking they’re now superior,
and voters, well, just squares.

Pierced By Providence

My heterodox heart abandoned and impaled,
By such beauty where kisses have been jailed…
Marooned by your love and escaping has failed,
Decomposing with my last breath echoic exhaled.

Imprisoned by lachrymose of your lascivious lance,
Intoxicated by illicit lust as we started our dance…
Exciting erotic illusions within their eternal expanse,
Derelict desires a victim of calamitous circumstance.

Cupids arrow a venomous violation as to perforate,
Entangled by blind love of a felonious feverous fate…
Entombed by a hellion hole where demons dictate,
Castrating condemns of constructs that consummate.

Engraved is your name like mutilated cattle as to bore,
A disintegrating disease puncturing to my inner core…
Be your love a germinal genocide of a groveling gore,
Erupting excretions executed by the sinister spore.

Premium Member Spider Races Fox- -

When I thought of the fox he just escape out of the box;
The spider laughed while running on his hands;
It was heterodox insect with eight legs eating dark chocolate;
There stood a theistic hovercraft
They are perfumed from unseen spacecraft

Much I marvelled the propellant comet;
I am shorn of my vomit yet I sprew up the bird nest;
Somewhat louder than the grommet;
While I pondered, antinomian and palmate;
~
Run on little red fox
Run on don't watch the clock
Choose next line from the options below
Kayaking and kayaking with my chuck
Death shall bring hares

When I thought of the fox he just escape out of the box;
The spider laughed while running on his hands;
On a track the spider chases the fox

If These Shoes Could Talk

The streets are chilly cold on rubble stone
The sky covers me for the wind has blown
The stars my guest within my humble zone
My shoes rest the night for they have sewn

Two pairs hanging in my homeless throne
Take one if you are less than me a bitter bone
Walk proud my fallen friend so we may prone
Under the heterodox heavens as we walk alone

Paradoxical Premise

Stands on the land of heterodox
Who's the mightiest God of all?
People live and die on their equivocation thoughts

Those who exclaimed about the God who never fall
Inversely proportional to what they always do
Who's the mightiest God of all?

Seekers, believers, heathens and philosophers with their point of view
All still seeks for the truth and uphold one they call peace
Inversely proportional to what they always do

Compiling the ideas piece by piece
Who are we without all these idealism?
All still seeks for the truth and uphold one they call peace

At the end world leads to anarchism 
They failed to adhere what they create
Who are we without all these idealism?

The idea of God and religion become skeptical trait
They failed to adhere what they create
Stands on the land of heterodox
People live and die on their equivocation thoughts



*This poem inspired by the contest that held by Richard Lamoureux, which I failed to join, but somehow I come up with this idea. Thank you for the inspiration :D.
