Premium Member Summer Passing
Impossible beauty, summer in swell, Fragrance aflowing and fluttering around; Though now, I admit, I don’t see it well, I know – my ears! – all the birds by their sound. Heaven surrounds me, but only for now; Howling the winds that shall crash on my head; Ripping the flowers that live on the bough, Never see summer return in its stead. Perhaps...

Why am I disturbed by the sight? Everyone having a fight. Lost in beliefs they are right. Never listening to the others light. The others must be wrong. Don't look like us or very strong. Instead, we fight, ...

Premium Member Howling Wilderness - POTD
The path is lost where wild winds press, No compass holds beneath the sky— We walk alone through wilderness. The thorns of time, the weight of stress, The silent trees that do not lie— The path is lost where wild winds press. Regret is thick, and hope grows less, Yet still we look, and still...

Didn't we all become poets ii
/ "Like Open-Mic Explosions from the End of Language". ~ Chat-GPT / _____ Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle; fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble - To wit: - the half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me. Far far ready to say maybe to love; moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories. ("But weren't their novel 'dogs-of-war' and lovely...

The howl remains
Look what we've done But why did you? Look, we've done it But should we have? Why this first? To be more heard. Just because we could? We'll describe. So what about evolution? What about it? Is it not the rule? Who’s to say? Was it necessary? We’ll justify it. But in the silence The howl remains....

HOWL IF YOU LOVE ME!
It started out with one good boy, A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy, His name was Gary, quite refined, A murder floof with teeth aligned (yikes)! They dressed him up in bowtie class, He promptly bit a Swissman's—ahem—pass ;) And now the Earth is not the same, We built a world… that he reclaimed. Howl if you love me! Snarl if you care! Growl like...

Ice is a strong force of nature. Cold and gleaming from within. Held by no law or direction. Just a fanciful brain, Seemingly a twin. Reminds me of history, not so long ago. Men in brown shirts on the go. ...
