Premium Member Balance
Balance this please! I'm on my knees. Misplacing tens of thousands of people. Legal tax paying people with families, Across the seas. Balance this please! Businesses left to float, While others begin to bloat. Balance this...

Premium Member Lies
Lies, lies, lies! Nothing about but lies! Cannot tell a lie, Then nothing is believed as the day goes by. Hearing a lie vibrates in my ears! Rattles my brain just past my eyes. Fabulous Forty Lies, I've...

The world turns, Another country went away. Not dissolved, Just to disappointed to stay. I am embarrassed, To admit where I travel from. Fellow travelers all say, " It's not you personally that turned away." I feel responsible...

The Beast is in the yard. Says he's a vegetarian, But I wonder at the blood. He has a verbiage that means naught! As a Beast, He eats a lot. My neighbors, friends, and workers disappear! Their wives...

Premium Member The Hunt
It was a strong opponent, it fought against us very well. Many of us were slaughtered before it finally went down. Again and again it tried to run, but we chased it down each time. We will never give up the hunt. We will always persevere. But this one had surprised us; it flashed its hardened steel. It cut down many of the pack and deflected...

Premium Member The Storm
The storm is rising. Dogs shiver with the thunder. Cats hide in lightning flashes. People lose their way. The tide is coming. Sweeping away hopes and dreams. Families struggle. No food or shelter to protect the vulnerable ones. ...

The Sea Remembers
The sea remembers all it cannot keep, Each wave a story, crashing into shore, Its secrets held in silence, buried deep. A sailor's prayer, a widow’s dreamless sleep, The driftwood echo of a lover’s lore— The sea remembers all it cannot keep. It sings of storms and treasures lost in sweep, Of shipwrecked years and voices heard no more, Its secrets held in...

Spools for a day. Wound up with what they say. Tighter and tighter. The insanity won't go away. A year or two marinating. Chaos has won. Then the spring becomes undone....

In the mountains, lived a special pup He was gentle, kind and so amazing His antics were true, never made up My meals he was forever appraising He often seemed to be star gazing In the hills, where this guy was born There lived a kitten with dark gray fur He often felt her exasperating scorn His life went by so fast, it’s...

Stardust on Autumn Leaves
pale yellow shards of brittle glass shatter under my feet as I stroll along this grey patchwork of concrete and if the world stutters precarious on its spurious axis, I pay it no mind the ice of my pupils melts into inky lashes that bleed cold down my face and in my head, I conjure a universe where every contradiction, every illusion you...

A living hellish nightmare
A living hellish nightmare... only just began early today November 6th, 2024, when my eyes frightfully espied glaring headlines bespoke horror conjured, portended and yielded worse fate than being gratefully dead after the polls tallied up the votes beaming none other than pudgy hugely crass blimp as the forty seventh president of the United States of America. Before delving into worse case scenario regarding the...

Premium Member The Banshee
Where legends lurk And dark tales abound, This killer wails ... A horrible sound She cries and cries Still, none ever see, The creature they call The old banshee And if you hear her Late one night ... You will not live To see daylight Some say she drifts Over castle walls ... Amid Ireland's hills Letting out deathly calls And some say this ... She is but, free, To roam and...
