Premium Member Behind the Eternal Fringes

The unpopular 
express 
their popular strings
to the garrison, contained
within 
safe boundaries, there,
their thoughts 
pirouetting words 
hung, 
the black beetles 
shine 
like exotic 
fresh water 
pearls strung 
waving like 
green peas shelled 
nonchalantly cast 
into boiling pots 
not of their own making 
in the soup of 
the fifth estate 
boiled well,
swallowed 
and regurgitated,
muses

the pods left wide open 
floating in the nowhere
like emerald boats without sails

blinking 
internal, 
forever behind

the eternal fringes







Candide Diderot. ‘24

Stripped Down



"Stripped Down"

Stripped down
the external shed,
snakes aren’t what you think

stripped down 
the external shed,
skins hung on a beam 

overhead,
hanging souls 
and their fangs

penetrating

Stripped down,
you hear me now?
Stripped down 

inside 
outside,
upside down

Stripped down,
what you looking at now?
Reflection 

inside
Light,
outside

power

Premium Member I Didn'T Know That

"I Didn't Know That" 

I didn’t know that 
A Be couldn’t sting
Or that a Bee was not a B.
I’m confused.

I didn’t know that
I should No better
Or that Know was not a No.
I’m confused.

I didn’t know that 
A Bare lived in a forest
Or that she was Bear Butt Naked.
I’m confused.

I didn’t know that
A Foul was not a bird 
Or that a Fowl can’t be a Foul ball.
I’m confused.

I asked my lover if I could take a Peak.
She said that was Two much to ask,
“Go climb a mountain Peek.” She said,
“The Sceen would be much better.”
I’m confused.

I took to writing words
I thought were not the same.
They understood me not.
Am I insane?

Homonyms and Homophones,  
Or is it, 
Which or Witch? 
I do not comprehend.
I’m still confused.
It’s time for this pin to end.

ENJOY!

The Musks

Homonyms, closeness or likeness,
name or smell, be all there,
creates vanishing impetus,
Twit byes and scents to air.

Brut (cologne) was by Faberge,
Joe Namath modeled them,
Brit's Unilever owns today,
autistic Musk use--'um.

Kicked-up raw earth lingers...consorts
just when a mug pivots,
trigger the hounds and all their sorts,
unfeeling and vicious.

Commercial Brut Musk spray wear's off,
sure and forward sashays.
Refine defines, sign-wavers scoff,
Blue Origin tweet praise.

Like Men in Black bruises those teased,
bypass pedos and smile,
a wound-up car humming was eased,
brute Musk in Space-X style.

Premium Member A Litany of Poetry Devices

The truthful liar mesmerized no one 
Even his most fervent followers fell short.
We watched his interchanges which seemed crazy,
And his bragging and grandiose plans abort.
His love seemed wrapped up in his loving buck,

Stealthy snake-like purport with enemies he would consort.
Boom! He was on the TV. Crash! He threw out a tweet.
Snorting, chortling, boredom ripe for a big red port.
We watched him boast and brag, some disgusted be.
Formative finance foreman finds a forever fort.

Political dissonance turning our country upside down.
Misogynist buffoon yelling fake news as a new sport.
Thy vileness and thy nastiness befouls thyself,
Thy fantasticalselfishness flamboyantly galantort,
Reinforces our mindfulness that being President is just a sport.

Premium Member Homonyms

Homonyms are words with
Two meanings that we know,
Words like gross and match and light, 
And pile and park and row,

Your boat out deep into the river 
But be careful what you drink,
Because the last thing you want to see 
Is your boat begin to sink,

On the kitchen bench
Right beneath the clock, 
And the sink has been made from
A granite sort of rock,

The baby too and fro, 
Until she is resigned,
To a lullaby made of homonyms,
Like down and just and kind.

Lexophile

I admit it. I’m a Lexophile.  I’m likely on some list!
If there’s a play on words somewhere, I really can’t resist.
A twist of phrase, a brutal pun, or the turn of a sonnet fine,
Will fill my soul with childlike bliss, be it deft or unrefined.
Consonance, or assonance, or dissonance that splatters,
A doggerel mess or the good bard’s best, it really doesn’t matter.
Homonyms and antonyms and synonyms galore,
Give the plot a wicked curve and I’ll come back for more. 
It is all about the words my friends and how you make them tumble.
Make them smooth and honey sweet or ghastly in a jumble.
I’ll take them scrambled, fried or raw, whatever you may mete,
Because baby, I’m a Lexophile; a boiled egg’s hard to beat!

Premium Member Homophonium

They’re having their tea over there,
To have two cups too,
We’re going to wear our cloths, where?
I don’t really mean to be mean,
So tear your tear away,
Aren’t homophones and homonyms,
A fun a fun way to play?
