Premium Member What Evil Promise Did His Time Bring

Demon in disguise with captivating dark-brown eyes,
He is gentle and focused, for you are his prize. 
Hypnotic smile across his lips, with thrust of hips and eloquence,
He has broken your defence with confidence.

His trophy, your heart, he has won!
Candlelit dinners, flowers, romance
Passionate sex, holidays in the sun 
Rings on the fingers you are now one.

Traditional promise and a couple of kids 
It's all that matters, they have first dibs 
A home, a car, and a dog, 
Your life has begun as one hard slog.

Welcome to your life's routine 
You are no longer sixteen
Are you still his queen? 
What evil will his time bring?

Compliments ushered out the door 
What are you thinking mopping the floor 
Wiping up vomit, stumbling over toys
Is this what life is with all its joys?

What evil promise did his time bring?

Sex is a job, no longer a pleasure, 
Your kids are precious your life's treasure, 
He is always late, arrogant and rude, 
You thought it was your fault for being such a prude.

So you take a few drinks to feel better, 
While is off on business like a trend setter.
He is always failing at what he does, 
You have lost it, the incredible buzz.

Venomous insults, frequent and rapid they leak 
Like a demon possessed allow him to speak
Scarlet embarrassment paints your cheeks, 
He has become an uncontrollable freak.

When the kids get older you promise to leave, 
In order to feel better, your lie you believe, 
you think he will change? are you so naive?
It is only yourself you begin to deceive.

A few nightly slaps, and a couple of bruises, 
When for no reason his temper he loses.
The demon in disguise has brought about a promise of hell. 
Nowhere to run to, no one to tell.

Aye Miss the Trials and Tribulations of Expectant Fatherhood

no emotionally ecstatic experience compares 
   to the seminal instance 
   whence spermatozoa 
   (from profuse ejaculation) beget

the miraculous propensity 
   to procreate despite the steep odds 
   female fertility fosters potential impregnation 
   fusing the hereditary debt

of feral, fiery, fomenting friskiness 
   fueling fancy free footloose fornication 
   prior to seminal fertilization union 
   sans ova doth induce fret 
full ness in tandem with 

   diametrically opposed exultant sensations 
   (biologically, embryonically, microscopically, 
   et cetera) seismic shocks inject  
when deliberate intent arises to disregard 

   applying prophylactics choice 
   plying reproductive roulette let
which analogous fruitful uterine plain 
   bastes the "cooking" egg omelette  

which impregnation upends cessation of "self" 
   first and foremost asper desire to breed
wrenching role of "me" as operative 
   of webbed world de jure upon 
   consummating that most miraculous deed 

necessitating yet for the fecund female relief 
   from messy menstrual cycle 
   she becomes temporarily freed
that perhaps a novitiate (or even a gal practiced 
   in the euphoric family, she instinctually 
   abides prenatal signals that heed

without feeling debased, harangued, lectured 
   pedagogical, polemical, puritanical, et cetera blast
assessing copulation enjoyed gloriously, 
   ineluctably, kinesthetically 
   lectured by elder, especially cast

in thee reel life drama, that nine months 
   til offspring utters initial whimper 
   elapses exceptionally fast
emitting a radiant golden halo wishing 

   to bottle confluence of hormonal secretions last 
ideally fully awake to the birthing process, 
   when juiced the first stage of maternity past
cuz every moment thee inconsolably 

   (perhaps colicky infant) 
   gets first dibs to suckle, 
   which round the clock nursing 
   consumes moments many vast.

Premium Member Weird Wood

Some people don’t hike through the wood,
especially on All Hallows Eve.
Ghosts of boys and girls of good
float at the campfire, if you believe.

Elves and pixies dance through the trees, 
with taunting, mocking, and leering.
They swing and sway in the brash breeze,
their faces frighteningly jeering.

What was that? The crack in the wind
unleashes demons and banshees!
Their hideous yowling will send
even the bravest to their knees.

Ghosts and goblins arise from their graves,
harmonize in a cacophonous chant. 
Don’t try to hide in the darkened caves.
They’ll find you in their raucous rant.

They’ll steal your bones with giggling glee
and make toothpicks with your ribs. 
Quickly now, turn. Run, and flee
before they find you and call out “Dibs!”

Premium Member Winter Carnival

It is Winter Carnival time, everyone in a double 
bustle. Christmas Night, as emotions bubble; 
kids full of mischief getting into trouble.

The whole carnival is decked out with Christmas décor! 
Swelled faces with joyful spells, sounds of bells, and so much more. 
A whole new winter world waiting to explore.

The clown's face painted in white paint, 
fiery orange hair, a big mouth in red taint. 
It snarls a show of teeth 
all covered in candy Heath. 
Each evil eye of three glaring while I'm underneath. 
A red ball full of tea rose, for a nose that disposes out like a hose; 
you won't want it to be near your toes. 
It wears a ruffled collar satin clown suit and walks with a toot, 
half red the other half white and big black combat boots; he's so cute.

Kids run around the clown hand in hand like a chain 
trying to get first dibs on a red candy cane. 

It is Winter Carnival everyone in a double
bustle. Christmas Night, as emotions bubble; 
kids full of mischief getting into trouble. 

The poor cranky clown wearing a frown 
ready to put himself down 
where he dwells in his night gown 
when the sun goes down.

Yeah she here

Strident Ritardando

 The Stuck Duck Oboe Song
-----------------------------------
by Cantar Word:Blurter 
------------------------------------
This is what was said when I asked him to explain to me why he refused to date. He said this instead of telling what a modern relationship really is."Dibs" is often used as a lighthearted, social mechanism to avoid competition between friends, 

she used her ability to attract men
as an equivalent to her friends 
unattractiveness.
her friend on the other hand
having fewer romantic distractions
allowed her to be more effective when it came
to business.
while her friend could find it easiest to
be more of herself at the same time
accomplishing things  to attract  and be
is most natural to her.
Are they really friends when someone
her the attractive lady say
don't listen to her as she views herself
from a disposition of unworthiness
cause feelings of envy or insecurity
is seen and is a divisive strategy
where it appears that one person 
is picked over the other.
when the phrase " kurwa" was
spoken the attractive lady became insulted
while the unattractive woman to had been
referred to as "kurwa' making the gentlemen seem
like a.misogynistic **** shamer.

Truth is due to the way a relationship can turn into
it is often best not to commit on a work in progressing
type relationship.
In order to remove one's self from a situation
might mean finding someone to replace the one who
needs replacing.

Premium Member Shadows Calling A

Leaking through the worn, gray boards, like a trickle from a dream. Where gentle thoughts raised prayers through the loft, tiers spilled out tears, remembering the quiet moments before. Yesterday, when the silence was broken by gentle moos and squealing pigs, squawking hens beating away the cats from her nibbling brood of dibs. Remembering the truth of a summer quivering, the trembling of rain falling on a tin roof, lulling away the afternoon beneath the tender song, breathless as daybreak and just as whimsical.

It was here, beyond the barn’s yawning doors, that my heart learned to appreciate the simple things. The still, cool pulse of twilight, the discreet brush of hope – soundless as light, pouring out over the soul who knows that God’s breath flows in through those moments, those charming moments, when the heart hears only the sound of His music, softly echoing through the beautiful.

Premium Member Garden Apartment Redemption

I solemnly received my first toilet auger
As if it were a knight’s well-tempered sword.
It meant I’d passed my ninety-day audition,
And seemed to me a suitable reward.

And so began my tenure working maintenance 
In the nasty nitty gritty of a toxic circumstance. 
But I’d scored a small apartment, living duty-free,
So, it was time for starting over’s second chance. 

A thousand plus apartments needed tending.
When a work ticket printed, I called dibs.
Seventy buildings built of brick and dreams.
I was privy to the skivvy in all those skeevy cribs.

I’ve encountered many silent tribal totems:
Hindu murti, Christian chi rho, Muslim script.
But no matter the religion of the trouble call,
For every useful purpose, I came suitably equipped.

There were feral cats, roaches, and bedbugs 
Infesting hoarders’ floorspace wall-to-wall.
I dealt as best I could with the detritus,
But my biggest stress was over-night on-call.

While paying the price of complete independence
I may sometimes have hammered my thumb.
Though I may be a hack in the handyman trade, 
I conducted my final campaign as my army of one.
And I came off a winner.

On the 4th of July

Today, they’ll fire up the grill
For burgers, hot dogs, ribs 
And hungry guests will gather ‘round
To point and claim first dibs.

I will not be among them,
Though I’ll not be too forlorn;
My husband mashed potatoes 
And made chicken and some corn.

At night there will be fireworks 
But we will not attend.
We’ll watch a Netflix series
Where we’re almost at the end.

We might hear firecrackers boom
When we are close to sleep. 
I’ll think of Independence Day
And hope we’ll somehow keep

The promises the founding fathers
Set in ink back then,
But fear those words will not be honored,
In our lives, again.

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for every greedier 

Rhymes with banker


Sleazier golden geezer visas 

Accept any offers to

Fill their many coffers


Brokery.. jiggery pokery 

Immunity without impunity 

To the unity of community

Profanity of their vanity


Insanity of their depravity

Clarity...disparity not charity

Tramples ample wokery


Our amazing landscape

Instead becomes their escape

Coined..after all they’ve purloined

Jolly jape…no red tape


Not being rash

But it is a rash

Debunk the gunk & funk

Forsaking the avarice 

Taking the pis*

Bliss abyss monk


Crass..brash..flash git

S***k a chunk of cash

From their balderdash stash

Making..a complete hash of it


Fake elite on the take

As they see fit

Billionaire boys ploys annoys

Replete yet still cheat 

Have your cake and eat it


Our government just envoys

For a small fee..sweet

Deploys the swanky..w**ky

Yankee all about me

Time to flee plea


They lit the fire

Liar & denier

Dug the quagmire


Piety for impropriety

Moolah Messiah ruler

High flyer pariah

Crueler society


Who when the s**t 

Does hit the fan

No fibs..his nibs gets

First dibs on cribs


Outlier masterplan zen..know 

Then where to go


Can always hunker down

In a spick & span den

Their Queenstown bunker


Amen
