Premium Member At Naught

At... locations position in time scale in order pure
Naught... Quantity of no importance complete failure this I am sure
For you ride into the prisons gold
Bent on passages that's already been told
We are slightly above Angel's seven aged old
We dream in Technicolor dreams believed, this we will achieve
Now the four corners of this world
Houses just one ceiling and 4 floors
Masterminded your screams
Caught up in dreams, eating desert drought
You sought, you drink out of a dirty cup
At naught, your presents is not found in the covenants
And whose line is it that I must, trust
I prevail at naught canvas not always a campus
You see a "sea" not always a'C" anything tangible doesn't always feels
Caught up in my dreams this is so real, surreal
You've gotten caught maimed stealing from little children
Got caught no trust in you fellow brethren
Now you rest your laurels against the buildings
At naught, AT Naught revealing
No man, no one hands me juggernaut, yet no
You threat watch you sweat who you gonna test
Not your student or you pet
In still in prisons of gold still on passages of gold 
Above angels of multicolor rainbows who can I trust, I must AT Naught

Did You Know They Exist

On the side of a dark green mossy rocky
Mountain I came across while walking an
Actual rock head sticking out of an aperture.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when it said
You have now meant one of the prominent
Creatures
That live here in this mountain on your 
Adventure.
I couldn't help but smile his voice was filled
With such merriment.
On the side of a dark green mossy rocky
Mountain I came across while walking an
Actual rock head sticking out of an aperture.
Are you the daughter of Mother nature?
Yes. I am here to talk to you about 
Co-existence
With other creatures.
Are you an amateur?
No. I have experience.
On the side of a dark green mossy rocky
Mountain I came across while walking an
Actual rock head sticking out of an aperture.
Are you a connoisseur
Of how rock people have a permanence?
I have been informed about you wonderful
Creatures
And your amazing culture.
Your Eminence.
On the side of a dark green mossy rocky
Mountain I came across while walking an 
Actual rock head sticking out of an aperture.
Who turned out to be a delightful creature.

Street Walker

She was only a whore they said
Just a druggie on the game
Most of the papers couldn’t be
Bothered to correctly spell her name.
Just an illegal immigrant tart,
Part of one of those foreign mobs
Over here to claim our benefits
Ot take over all  of our jobs.
Not one of  your high class call girls
Who service the Commons and Lords
Free of the general approbation
Such elevated status affords.

Not your enthusiastic amateur
Who put it about for free
Or one of those who’ve made it 
By appearing on reality TV.
Not your free loving aristocrat
Hopping gaily from bed to bed 
No, just a common street walker
Who unfortunately ended up dead.
Having so dehumanised her as
Just another lump of dead meat
Who earned herself a living by 
Selling cheap sex on the street 

This allegedly Christian nation
Doesn’t  really bother anymore,
Just turns to the sports page
For the latest footie score,
Or, the very wealthy 
With no real material cares,
To financial pages to check
Returns on stocks and shares.
Some mother, father or child 
Who won’t see her anymore
Are suffused with pain and grief
Even though she was only a whore.

Premium Member Me at 60


As I get older
And as I amble and imbibe
The wafting of the aroma of roses
And as I get older
I still rock (just not in a chair)
And I roll with the lingo
Of the younger generation
I think things are sick
I try not to throw shade
I think somethings are fire
I am stupidly blessed
(and I say in my Hampton Orphanage drawl)
One hundred percent
As I get older
I find (as Ben Franklin confessed)
That the God of Heaven
Governs the affairs of mankind
The good, the bad and the ugly
And as I get older
(I said older not old)
I am a work in progress
According to the Lord
And as I head to 
The autumn of my life
(The words of my Army buddy
And amateur sage Jack
Echo in my mind)
"People say 
I am in my own little world,
That's ok, 
at least everyone knows me there."

Premium Member A Harvest Moon

A Harvest Moon

An autumn moon pregnants the crown,
Love sought fumbles in broad daylight,
Crumbling nightfall as it bears down,
Lovers swoon passion neath twilight.

Amateur all recite blunders,
An autumn moon pregnants the crown,
Leave the invention to wonders,
Adding more verbs than any noun.

First time at love, do not back down,
Or pass the chance for your first kiss,
An autumn moon pregnants the crown,
It sets the scene, for lover's bliss.

As two are drawn, face slightly tilt,
While their lips touch that goes around,
Kindred souls are solidly built,
An autumn moon pregnants the crown.

Posteriormente, el título será abandonado, solo para reaparecer en otro luga!"

Premium Member Cameo-It's Not Cricket

T20 is its new name
a  fast action cricket game
Now, has  world-wide acclaim-
An evening sport of my youth
Re-packaged..in truth ..long -in-the-tooth

NOTE:Twenty overs a side cricket,under lights, is set to rival soccer as a 
spectator sport,was played in the early 'f'ifties as an amateur evening league 
after work,lasting approx two hours,in May thru July before the evening light 
faded.Nothing new under the sun,except for marketing men! Watch out this could become as popular as soccer now is at female level in parts of US ....might even compete with baseball at pro level !Now that would be something!

A CRICKET vignette

mid-summer,evening league cricket.
Fifty years fade from view
they’ve labelled it
Twenty-Twenty & think
of it as something new.

Premium Member Going With Guns

GOING  with  GUNS 

                                                                
                                     Being an amateur photographer,
           Off and on I use Flash Gun.
           In photography, I am veteran
                                     and taking nice snap shots so far!

           My little grandson
           owns a small Toy Gun.                           
            He plays with it under Sun,
                                   continuously chewing cocoa wafers.

          To water pot plants using Water Gun
          my wife enjoys with great fun.
                                      This technique of watering, she prefers.

         That man has hobby to hunt
          wishes to give a stunt.
          Flock of birds he aims
          Tranquilizer Gun he claims
                                      He happens to be my chauffeur.                        
                                          
           I knew a terrorist, ready to fight,
           always arrogant, roaming at night.
           He used to be out as clock struck eleven
                       carrying A-K Forty -Seven.
                Later he had to abandon
                        the dangerous Gun
               and started to spread slogan
                   for Peace, his only concern,
                                               turning a polite Philosopher.

Dear Temporary Bliss,

I Sense a Shift Amidst
When I No Longer Crave Your Embrace or Your Kiss
Reaching For The High Hanging Fruit
Wet Behind The Ears, "Know It All" Youth
Suspicion Birthed By Intuition
Mercury Retrograde Enhanced Mis-communication
What A Situation I Have Found Myself In
Barely Hanging On to the Rope of Tolerance
Patience Account In Overdraft and Fading Thin
But The Wife In Me Will Surely Win!
Silence is Loud When Truth is Eluded
Fruit Picking Like an Opportunist to Opportunities
You Can Fool Them, But You Can't Deceive Me
For You See
The Crone in Me Knows The Truth
Her Flaming Torch Will Be Your Retribute!
The Lord Who Came First Has Long Departed
Leaving Behind an Amateur Who Can't Grasp How This Situation Started
Masked Grandeur In A Truth Parade
Is It Me or Yourself You are Trying to Persuade?
Sorry, Not Sorry!, I'm Not Drinking Your Sour Lemonade
Your Version, Illusion of Love Has Left Me Bored
My Time, My Energy and Sanity You Cannot Afford
No Regrets At All for The Time Invested
It's Just That You're Not My Type and I'm Not Interested!
