Premium Member Cocoon

"Cocoon"

They say...
a New World 
traces over the old,
leaving the unaware,
erased, far behind 

the old unaware, 
left far behind,
crawls the walls
in its web of lies
spinning suspect 
strings of silk 
in the air

glistening diamond nets
slick and sticky...

Premium Member Plane Crashes Fate Takes Over
It was Christmas Eve and I was at the airport,
Not a soul in sight, almost deserted, it was 10.00 pm,
Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

Premium Member Territory Trample
Headlights messaged through midnight windows 
Curtainless glass unable to subdue the urgency 
Car obtained in street nearby was theirs temporarily
Three hour drive to ship leaving island next morning

Two sixteen year old girls barely registered surprise...

Premium Member Rum N Raisin 4 - Homer Lone
Rum was feeling playful so he went to find a mouse
He looked in every nook and cranny right throughout the house
But all the mice were sound asleep for it was dark outside
And then Rum saw...

Everyone Poops
I am playing with my dollies
And my princess pram all pink
I'm nearly 5
A big girl now
No more nappies
Or plastic pants
I think

I outgrew the potty
When I was only three
My mum says it's because I am brave
Now...

Premium Member Cat 5
I saw a cat quartet within my dodgy dream,
Sorta started worryin' that I'd gone off the beam,
Really began to wonder if my mind was gettin' weak,
They had their own language that only they could speak.

While...

Premium Member Believe the Facade of a Narcissist-No More
Mirror, mirror on the wall ~
don't let me fall for a narcissist's words
for fear I'll find myself tangled in the web
of silk threads cunningly spun to lure me in. 

You might take those words to...

Premium Member The Defiant Giant In a Robin Reliant
And the beanstalk fell and the giant as well
And the giant lay there dead
I swear to you I thought it true
It seems I was misled 

Though the giant bled he raised his head
And said I...

A leopard found a shepherd who was looking after lambs
The shepherd had some sandwiches with different flavour jams
The leopard feeling peckish thought he’d steal one tiny sheep
So he snuck behind the shepherd and that’s when...

Future Archeology
Perceptions of a ragged space,
all that was left by the human race,
there's not a lot left to see at all,
as their carelessness was seldom small.

Let's dig around 
in that frazzled ground,
for that's where there's bound...

The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas my loved ones gave to me,
And a plate of turkey butties.

On the second day of Christmas my loved ones gave to me,
Two girly books,
And a plate of turkey butties.

Premium Member The Art of the DOGE DO-D-GE
DOGE DO(D)GE is a game:
Accepting praise - never blame.
It's a dodge all right!

DO(D)GE shifts Left - then Right;
Disruptive through winds of change.
It's a dodge all right!

DO(D)GE bans brains and skills;
Destroys the best in its wake.
It's...

Kiddies Bedtime Story With a Happy Ending
It was my wife, my son and me, we were at home one weekend
While she played with my son, I was giving a cupboard a mend
They were running around laughing and playing
I was up stairs...

Chaos In Laos
Looked up and down, right and left
Wondering why life suffers a theft
Subtracted beauty from my chin cleft
 
If I deserved and preserved the best
My love could lavish to attest
Why my love passed a preset test

I walked alone by moonlight as I lived in fear of the sun,
Blinded and burnt once too often by her false promises.
Left thinking everyone only ever saw her loving warmth,
While I sat silently crying cold...

A Shy Shiraz
They say Cabernet Sauvignon pairs nicely with steak
Pinotage, they reckon, for cheese
Tempranillo is the choice for Mexican grub
But, I'm somewhat easier to please

I've tried a fair few "Reds", on a weekend night
While chilling to some...

Committed To What
Your promises don’t inspire me,
they seem insincere
Always floating, shifting commitments,
the details are artfully dodgy
Arranged in such a way,
they might as well be confirmed by a ghost
And those serpentine friends of yours
are snake whisperers 
Subtle and...

The Ledger
In smoky halls where echoes groan,
they carved the truths in tempered stone,
yet none recall the scribe who wrote—
a chap in boots and mismatched coat.

His quill was plucked from harpy's wing,
he’d hum while making corpses sing,

Faffing About On Facebook
I’m faffing about on Facebook
Been avoiding it for years
What began as curiosity will
Doubtless end in tears
Hear no speak no see no
Evil learned in conversation
All that knowledge lost in
Two dimensional translation

All my...
