Premium Member The Tribute
Their mere weapon was their forbidden courage, hands barren with  no armaments, no ammunitions, marching towards the proud valley of death, dedication born from their sempiternal dreams of a free land. 

Their bare weapon...

We Must Strive For Political Correctness
By Elton Camp

It would just be the end
If by words we do offend.

There’s the devil to be paid
If we call a spade a spade.

“Vertically challenged” means short.
“Horizontally challenged,” a fat sort.

“Nondiscretionary fragrance” means we stink.
“Living...

Fly O butterfly fly in the clear and sunny day
Fly about in freedom in your haphazard way.
Fly onto colorful flowers and plants giving sustenance away
Fly as only you know how and live to see and...

Suicide of An Idol
A woman of mystery
Dressed in red
The blood of jealous women's misery
Her mouth is discretionary
Her words planned perfectly
Others fix their mouths loosely
But with her details, she's choosey
She only said
What she wants spread
Her stories are wildfire
The gossip...

That we’re staging the National Arts Month in February;
It reminded us to the king like the powerful wolf 
Who defaced the rules of artistry
That he...

Part-Time-OG-Dog Training-Pimp
Written By:  D. Collins 10/3/24



Drop your pup off somewhere around eight.
By the time you get off, they'll sit, stay, and lay.
Come out to my office, out there on the beach.
"Sunbrellas" all around connected to...

Premium Member Once Upon a Time Lived I
To nature's norms have I complied -
I laughed, I cried, I lived. I tried.

I'd like to think in aftermath 
There's more to my existence path. 
I paid the procreation dues, 
Dear offspring and their offspring...

Depression
depression, it seems to be discretionary
is it ever really necessary?
to kick yourself while you're down?
slap your head and knock off your crown?
 
is it really sadness or an excuse to feel
do you put yourself there...

Autumnal Equinox
Early morning blue sunny skies askew
 turn to white grays on piggyback 
 once light breezes that blew 
 gentle in and out the trees comeback
now race wildly out to the sea renewed.

The colors with...

Love Unspoken
What is love?

A visual reverence of well-intended discretionary words,
some ritualistic veneration of the beat of heart and soul,
a manufactured display of hunger and amourousness 
an embattled vehemence in thirst quenching lust,
the renderings of innate ensuing...

She Cried Today
The juvenile consent of being fooled
Like the discretionary power was once handed
Blindfolded amist trouble
Shadowed by trust,
Here again I landed 
This time the sword of their betrayal
Overpowered the pen
All the education that they had imparted 
Within...

Outside the pearly gates
a billionaire is refused entry by St Peter

Why am I not allowed in 

You already had a lifetime of heaven 
whilst others lived in hell

Yes I did have a fantastic heavenly life...

Premium Member Memories of the Morrow
Our doings by night and day,
Are recollections on the morrow.
Though we've neatly tucked away,
They emerge, bringing joy or sorrow.

To retain them in our store,
Would require considerable skill.
Albeit we may try to ignore,
We review each vivid...
