Premium Member Our Greek Getaway
Dear friiends those who first read my poem i left an important line out in the donkey story

The first dance after our wedding,
Was absolutely exciting, intoxicating,
My darling whispered in my ear,
My wedding present to you...

Hell No -Chapter 1-
Come, Kingdom, Come
On social media, I feel numb
Covered up by the consumption of fear…
Corruption draws near…
Look into my eyes and I will shed a tear
Demons and angels are chasing after me
Are chasing after me
Are chasing...

I Hate Robocalls
I hate robocalls!

Inxs of recorded messages   
transmitted automatically 
to my telephone number 
by automatic dialing device.

I turn off damn ringer,
and disassemble (carefully 
as disabling a time bomb) 
internal workings nevertheless...
telephone still buzzes
twenty four...

Most Americans I know of are writers and artists 
who sees when a crime has been committed
alas, the US government and its politicians are held
in the grasp of the Zionist who...

A Rebel
Dress properly
Behave womanly
Walk nicely
Straight and not crooked
Eat wifely
But never too much
Thin ones are always preferred
Laugh courteously
Don't laugh out loud
How dare you speak so much
A slut or what?!
Speak politely if you have to
Else don't open that...

Convenience Afforded Microwave
Especially one courteously wrapped ably
anonymously gifted to
an aspiring gourmet Chef Boyardee
i.e. not surprisingly... revealing mystery
person none other than...
yepper namely me.

Moost anyone can show
off culinary karate chop
suey, whether schooled among
fishy creatures either
from black lagoon,
or privately tutored,

Bacon Butty Rant
Why are all these hash slingers
Constantly there on my TV?
When did the ability to cook 
Become reason for celebrity?
Eating for me is just like
Shovelling coal on a fire,
Just adding fuel to keep
Your energy levels higher.
It’s...

I Had Lost Him In the War
The sun was creeping through the windowpane
I lifted my head to see sparkling dewdrops from the rain
And in the fields, I saw someone slowly walking
He almost looked familiar, yet his face was shocking
As he came...

The Nostalgic Vibe
scents of the old pine and hazelwood sail through the damp air,
the old teak never ceases to astound a visitor.
Gargantuan its tall spread wings engulfing the whole structure.
the minute carvings and the niches in the...

Eagle
Eagle 
 
  Dalliance up above in the stratosphere,
  Sailing stead in the smooth creamy cloud
  Like the Almighty Angelic machine in Azure,
  Like the beastly Griffin running missive among
 stars.

I Sat With a Lady
She is sweet and enigmatic
Her walk so conspicuous
How dare I go there,
With all her enigma
This surely won't end well.

She walks towards me
And courteously asks to sit beside
I hastily agree
Words that fall from her mouth
Are nothing...

Premium Member The Lure of the Desert
If you have never felt the lure of the desert, 
you cannot understand why people like me
prefer to be surrounded by sandy dunes.
An inexplicable lure, that acts like a drug.....
Until I was kidnapped by four...

Note: To the tune of "Little Drummer Boy"


Come, they sold me, to Macy’s this year
The perfect gifts await for holiday cheer

I’ll push and shove my way through the crowd
Cuss if I don’t succeed, for crying...

The Poem With No Name
The poem with no name.


There is a black raven at my tail, as I walk down the street;
It foretells me my tale will no longer taste so sweet.
The end is nigh, I hear from upon...

Suffering In Silence
The sun had been courteously shining,
But disappeared progressively.
The clouds became dark and rushing;
I heard several thunderous thunders.

Small and scattered drops of rain started falling.
Then, it started raining and pouring; 
With no umbrella, I compacted my...

Out of the West
The thunder had shoved from sleep
What would the soul’s anchor seem:
So deep and falling men’s fears are
When eyes no buoyancy provide.

The trees, conspiratorially hissing,
Exhorted, it seemed, the angry
Masses of air that I knew now the
Storm...

Attention Is Important
You are supposed to stop your car when the light is red.
Drive carefully; there is no exception for it today.
A vulnerable pedestrian can wind up dead.
Injured street crossers have to be taken away.
I cannot express...

Shiiish
Shiiish

They plugged their ears
then taped eyes shut
such their lips were likewise sealed
they stayed at home
shopped online
for hats and shoes for deals

They closed their doors
then closed their minds
left all that trouble outside
skimmed the channels
perused the net
stayed...

Grass
I am that grass you love.
Green or yellow, I am.
Brown, sometimes, I am, and 
On me, your animals feed.

Greener, your life I make.
To make shelters, you use me,
To prettify your parks, you shrub me, and...

Courteously Rude
Silent- head down low
Eyes flickering away
Emotions masked so they won't show
Biting your tongue day after day

Polite smiles and gestures
Careful thoughts only spoken
Honest conversations rarely a pleasure
To keep traditions from being broken

Guilt at judgments that spill
Anger...
