Premium Member Avengers

 In shadows deep where darkness reigns,
A legion gathers, bound by chains
Of fate and duty, born of woe,
To fight the horrors that do grow.

The Captain, stark with shield of steel,
His heart a-bleeding, forced to feel
The weight of battles fought and lost,
And count the devastating cost.

The Iron Man, in armor clad,
A modern Knight, yet driven mad
By demons lurking in his mind,
And secrets he can never hide.

The Hulk, a beast of rage and fury,
His strength a curse, a bloody story
Of rampages and broken bones,
And voices that won't leave him alone.

The Black Widow, with eyes of ice,
Her past a labyrinth of lies,
A deadly dance of death and pain,
And shadows that cannot be slain.

The Thor, a God of thunder born,
His hammer striking, fierce and sworn
To protect the weak and smite the bad,
Yet haunted by the wars he's had.

Together they, a fractured band,
Against the evil in this land,
The horrors that threaten to consume,
The light of hope in this grand gloom.

They fight with strength and courage rare,
Yet darkness lingers in the air,
A constant threat, a looming doom,
In this dark gothic, horror gloom.

For though they stand as heroes true,
The darkness always comes anew,
And shadows lengthen, ever-near,
In this dark gothic, horror sheer.

But still they fight, with might and main,
Against the horrors and the pain,
For in this world of gloom and dread,
The Avengers stand, a symbol, dead
To darkness, alive to light,
A shining beacon, burning bright
In this dark gothic, horror night.

Premium Member Freedom Of Speech

Silence is ever so cold  
Strong and bold  
Sending a message you better hold  
I have been told  
Close to your heart  
Playing a role part 
That cannot compare  
When one gives the deadly stare 
Powerful as a cussing swear  
Where? 
The antagonist surely would be scared
Stripping the foe spineless and bare  
From the emotional snarly snare  
My dear white knight
Respect your editorial opinionated right
Watch the bonfire burn 
Ask, what have you learned? 
About freedom of speech 
And did it teach  
Whether the message did reach  
The border or the beach  
Where many will ponder 
Those flying machines throughout the blue yonder 
Hoping no one will blunder  
While they wonder   
Family raising  
What are those people saying?
And possibly weighing  
That communication builds trust  
Certainly, it is a must 
Or the enemy will walk in
If no one is talking 
Or getting fitter 
Only angry and bitter 
Cutting the deal  
Giving it away, claiming a steal 
Land sold  
Received trinkets and gold 
Price that was rendered 
Avoiding being dismembered 
Fight back my friend  
Simply defend  
Speak dialogue honest and true 
Is what everyone should do
Liberty will ring  
Making everyone dance and sing 
Discovering the ace next to the king  
Surviving the attack  
Getting blackjack  
Seizing the chips 
Headlining all the news clips  
Since freedom of speech is not done  
Instead, well thought out chit chat is how the war was won

Premium Member Black Widow

Natasha Romanova, the fair 'Black Widow', 
In The Marvel Comis, is a superhero;
Surreptitious, specific, and snake-like deadly,
A one-woman army, when needed, self-medley...!  

Adorned with the boundless power of hypnosis,
She made anyone, to act as per her gnosis;
With super reflexes, she functioned lightning-fast,
Saved Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson from bullet-blast...! 

like Captain America, the peak strength she gained,
She turned her physique stronger or faster, unstrained; 
Resurrection was her grand strange ability,
Getting killed, she soon rose in calm tranquility...!

Like light bats or cats or rats, she ascended on walls,
Midst her marvelous jumps, she escaped any falls; 
Like Count Dracula, she could, often, shapeshift,
The mighty Mjolnir hammer she could freely lift...!

Her weakness of guilt or ego could not outweigh,
When her might, like gales or storms, made headway;
She sacrificed her life to save others, stories say,
In the Midwest, in a still grave, she calmly lay...!!!

Harsh Reality

Some say I talk so ignorant. naw, me 
im just too real for these hypocrites
the truth will set you free and me,
im filled wit dat addictiveness 
like 2nd hand smoke from cigarettes
point fingers if you want cuz 4real you 
ain't gotta feel me and nevamind da law
im innocent till proven guilty
had a couple setbacks fresh off probation
not guilty is he, live by da street code never 
talk to the D's. It's better to live on ya feet 
then die on ya knees, niggaz bleed just like us
yeah I taught dat to my seed.
So this here is Harsh Reality, dat any livin thing
can become a homicidal casualty
so question what do we fear 1st, this recession
or being gun or knifed down by a deadly weapon
the thing about the truth is you ain't gotta like it
but you will respect it and me I am da truth
I speak it, embrace it how bout you? Don't like
my slang, hard to swallow what I done, where I 
came from? But this is it, this is what freedom 
taste like, what it feels like. So nevamind da hype
of how im dis & dat, dat & dis cuz imma still spitt
gutta like hallway piss

Premium Member Dangerous Cargo - With Apologies To Hedy Lamarr

She slithered from the jungle in a Vera Wang sarong
Like some wicked juju temptress with no sense of right or wrong. 
I remember how it thrilled me, 
Oh yeah, when she shimmied in the buff;
And that first time she let loose, I thought I’d never get enough.
She hid a wealth of smuggled goods among her cargo.

I was cornered and defenseless; she was turning on the tease.
Then she wrapped her legs around me in an anaconda squeeze.
She had something sweet to teach me, 
Oh yeah, more than modesty allowed.
So I poured a gin and tonic and I let myself get plowed.
She dealt in contraband delights with no embargo.

She was primitive and deadly. I was curious and young,
Groping hesitant, yet eager, heart to heart and tongue to tongue.
I plunged headlong with abandon, 
Oh yeah, off those reckless, dizzy heights,
Spinning through a swirl of colors, shooting toward a burst of lights.
I came down withered, drained, and blank like no tomorrow.

You can run a little faster, beat the bullet from the gun.
You can run a little farther, almost halfway to the sun.
But when you run from Tondelayo, 
Oh yeah, Christ, her cargo weighs a ton.

All In the Name of Progress 2nd Addition

just the same ring
with a round of row zees
     awash manicured lawns
     with generic grass seed 

     that doth spring
to life with synthesized,
(yet deadly) chemicals meant
     to guarantee wrest
ting control might and subdue
     so nature forced

     to become nsync from in vest
ment plot purchase
     as proving grounds to test
a money bagged well paid
     laborer at leisure time

sprawled asleep in comfy hammock
     a much needed self deserved rest
whereat successful proof
     evinces "American dream"

     no matter quest
necessitates becoming linkedin
     with fast paced lifestyle
     attendant ulcer inducing "pest"
keeping up appearances,

     where younglings nest
scolding woe begotten kith
     if flawless grounds get messed
by clod hopping kids and/or smart pets
     upsetting calculus figuring formula

     determining trigonometric 
     landscaping tangential
     to maintaining perfectly
     squared off turf especially lest
the neighbors cease becoming hospitable
     and stop offering gold plated invitations
     to such honorable humble guest.

Premium Member It's Just a Game

These Limericks were written after playing a card game called Poo Pocalypse... don't ask or I'll blame it on Jan...lol


History recorded leaders in wars
Great men and women: their whys and wherefores
Napolean Bona-fart
A short French dude, a sweet tart
Whose stinky stench exuded from his pores

A female consort weighed too many stones
From scarfing down ice cream in waffle cones
Mary, the Queen of Plops
Upon her butt she flops
In the castle, her toilets were her thrones

There was a barbarian, years ago
In battles much blood was sure to flow
Nasty crap from the buns
of Atilla the Runs
More deadly than arrows from a crossbow

King from the Plantagenet dynasty
was not given time for his toiletry
That was terribly absurd
for England's Richard the Turd
It was an invasion of privacy

Troubled was the one who made great magic
There was one known to have gas... how tragic
The Great Harry Poodini
Had powers of a genie
But subduing farts, he didn't know Jack!

Peeking in windows is an evil deed
One pervert, whose weakness he did concede
He's known as 'Pooping Tom'
With coolness and aplomb
Watching people crap is his craving need

Elusive Rambling

Disarmed

Bullets fall silent
against words 
well chosen

Their caliber
muted
— the target on fire

(Villanova University: March, 2024)



Stuck In Gear

Motion
not an absolute
The world
is never still

Inertia
tries to write the law
Where stop and start 
are nil

History
at the speed of light
Consensus
in the math

But standing
here
While stuck in gear
— the notion leaves me flat

(Villanova University: March, 2024)



Before The After

Don’t bog down
in research
Spontaneity
the thing
Truth
is most elusive
And joy
a passing Spring

In flashes
of an instant
What’s timeless
will appear
Thinking often
kills the goose
That lays
— both far and near

(Villanova University: March, 2024)



Deafening Silence

Things most often named
before understood
Then never renamed
for the bad or the good

‘Particles of light’
we now know as waves
But ad infinitum
their reference stays

A ‘Tablet of Paper’
consisting of sheets
Two ‘Bolts’ of lightning
fused Franklin’s belief

A ‘Softball’s’ still deadly
 meant to careen
And ‘Deafening Silence’
— spurs wonder indeed

Dark Cloud

He is like a deadly disease bringing despair.
He won't take the hint, he isn't wanted anywhere.

He is like a dark cloud, polluting the air.
Yet he insists on showing up unannounced everywhere.

His sense of self importance is baffling considering he has accomplished so little in life.
Most people find him insufferable, even his own sweet wife.

He boasts of grandiose dreams of wealth and fame.
He is clueless to the fact that no one gives 2 shizits about his crappy game.

He will keep talking and talking, even when no one will listen.
Unaware he is a waste of space and a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

He is condescending to others but being called out gets him frustrated.
He wears a stupid hat too small for his big ugly head
and always looks angry and constipated.

He is easily upset when his ideas are ignored or dismissed.
He hates being in group settings where his butt is not being kissed.

When people aren't admiring him, he will throw a pity party and wallow.
It's a shame that 51 years ago, his mama didn't swallow.

Premium Member Deadly Game

As I reflect on nature's ways,
 a struggle goes on for winners to display.
And for those who are beat, 
life is lost in utter defeat.
A predator and it's prey,
 as the aggressor will display.
Both living in harmony and trust,
only killing when they must.
Predators can be victims in the game,
while higher orders make their claim.
Two creatures both deadly still,
neither will move, both ready for the kill.
Looking each other in the eye,
both in wait, as they lie.
Getting ready for the strike,
playing a waiting game, but both alike.
Tension hangs heavily in the  air,
Both deeply frozen within the stare.
both locked in a deadly game,
One victor, one loser will make it's deadly claim.
