Premium Member Locked Away POTD

Peter Perkins loved tasty pumpkin, in pies, in puddings and etcetera;
Which filled their house with tempting smells, so said his wife, Elena.

Beloved Elena was a splendid cook, to which fond Peter could attest,
With hand over his crimson heart, like rouge sun dyeing in the west.

The Perkins had a bouncy pet rabbit; and they called him 'Scamper,'
Like pretty, fall leaves forever flying, in hues red, purple and amber.

Frigid days had turned fragrant, and the friendly friends came calling,
And flirtatious, warm breezes flitted, over emerald fields, sprawling.

Finite, foggy dawn had vanished, when flattering rays flooded noon;
And fave, forever family came for visits, at the onset of mellow June.

They lived in the house of sweetness, and of delicious desserts, daily,
In the times of sun glazed windows, looking out on pretty, pink daisy.

Twilight, sapphire skies glorified stars, on their scenic, sunset street;
And they took daily scent strolls, to smile at fine people they'd meet.

Nonnegligent nature was naturally beautiful, when neighbors visited,
In noiseless, green hours of dulcet notes, and pink robin, uninhibited.

'Slime' lily's long tresses were curling, awaiting silvery drops of rain;
As 'true blood' roses lay wounded, and 'spiral' aloe soothed their pain.

Peter and Elena were planning a trip abroad, their fare already paid;
When Peter suddenly reinjured his kinee, ruining the plans they made!

As the doctor advised only limited walking, a trip was unwise for him;
But, he couldn't keep Elena from her dream, based on a fateful whim!

Their tickets were nonrefundable, and he would miss his wife dearly;
But Elena would have a wonderful time, as pretty, fall leaves do, yearly.

Elena bought a curio pumpkin house. Its rosy panes seemed to smile;
And placed inside her small photo, to stay close, across distant miles.

Whenever Peter gazed at his gift, it brought smiles, rather than sighs;
Like the last gasp of vermilion sunset, afore the silver, moonlight prize!

'Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife but couldn't keep her;
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.'

Words: Use the following words in a poem. Pretzels, shout, threshold, pine, now, sulfur, ladybug, percolate, cap and lamp

Let’s give a shout out
to the one who eats hot
salty soft pretzels.

Who holds a pine scented
lamp that sputters and flares
in the darkest night.

While they watch gooey
black tar percolate from
the bowls of the earth.

A cautious ladybug creeps
across the felt cap of
 of the pretzel eater.

Now is the time to swat
the nefarious ladybug
as she steels across their cap.

Smack! The ladybug is
no more as a sudden soft scent
of sulfur permeates the air.

Premium Member Age Doesn'T Matter When You'Re In Love

Susie teetered into Bill’s office, wearing a skintight miniskirt
Sat on Bill’s knee for dictation. She was an outrageous flirt
Soon Bill was smitten and couldn’t resist her ample charms
He forgot about his wife and kids and fell into Susie's arms

That was the lusty beginning of their clandestine love affair
Young Susie is a man-eater and calls Bill her "Honey Bear"
Bill’s wife discovered his deception and asked for a divorce
She’ll keep it out of the media for a huge settlement, of course!

As soon as his divorce was finalised he made Susie his wife
Susie’s only twenty. Bill wanted a carer for the rest of his life
Bill’s eighty-five years old and Susie stroked his thinning hair
and denies her attraction to him is that Bill’s a multi millionaire!

They say age doesn’t matter, especially when you are ‘in love’
That depends if you’re the ‘secretary’ who's married to ‘the ‘guv’!
Within a year Bill was dead and Susie worked for another VIP
I've heard she takes dictation while sitting naughtily upon his knee

Premium Member Iowa Monster of Van Meter

My friends were discussing the cyptids of their home states.
I kept insanely quiet, for my own experience left me shaken.
You are mighty quiet agreed my friends, both of them Kates.
I hesitated to share my story, of when I was almost taken.

I was eight at the time, so it has been fifty-nine years.
This in no way dispels my qualms or my fears.
It was an August Iowa night, with moon on the corn.
When a man-shaped bat like creature appeared, all forlorn.

I was instantly paralyzed with fright, seeing his abnormal light.
It came out of his head, and it lit up the cornfield that night.
If that light alone had been all there was to the Monster of Van Meter,
I would have been more likely to have forgotten this masticating eater.

He was gnawing a small animal, there was blood in his teeth.
A noise came from behind him, it sounded like Satan beneath.
The end of the world, I felt, pretty certain.
For my family it might mean the end of this world's curtain.

The creature made eye contact with me, this man-shaped ugly bat.
I was so frightened, I could not move in the least, so I sat.
The searchlight that was coming out of his head
Pretty much insured me I would soon be quite dead.

The Kates were waiting, but I chickened out and did not tell.
I am still scared of this cyptid, sure he was from the bowels of hell.

eater of light

he is the eater of light
 he will consume your soul
and
         your mind
stalking inside you nightmares

he is the killer of dreams
crushing all hope and desire
weakening your will
and
       your might

he is the fear running
through your veins
his rivers of darkness
flow strong
       flow-with robust might

he sends shivers up your spine
tightening the knot
 then call it shame
 as you curl up and hide
inside anxieties shadows 

his screams echo through your brain
a chorus of the insane
living inside your mind

he is the hands of idleness
the procrastinator of time
breathing ice
      and exhaling the same

darkness his true delight

“Amazing tradition. They throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can’t come.“   
Quote by Jeff Goldblum.





 

JOHNNY SPICER
In this tomb are the bits and pieces of the butcher Johnny Spicer
Got distracted whilst cutting meat and fell into the meat slicer.


JAMES.D.BOWLER
In this crypt are the flat remains of James.D.Bowlar
Tripped crossing the road into the path of a steam roller.


FREDDIE ALBRIGHT
In this grave is the head of surfer Freddie Albright
It was all that was left when he encountered a great white.


JIM BYRONS
Buried below are just the bones of hunter Jim Byrons
His rifle jammed and his body eaten by lions.


THE COMEDIAN
Hear lies Sid the comedian who thought it was funny
Kicking the bucket and owing the taxman money.


WILLO THE WISP
Lying below are the charcoaled remains of fire eater Willo The Wisp
Who drank too much petrol in his act and was burned to a crisp.


EMILY GRAF
Interred in two pieces is the magician's wife Emily Graf
Something went drastically wrong, and he sawed her in half.


PETE THE BUILDER
Above this grave is just the statue of the builder Pete
Fell headfirst into a cement mixer whilst mixing concrete.


JOE McNAIR
The loud crackling you can hear in this grave is of the killer Joe McNair
Too much power was used when they executed him in the electric chair.

Premium Member Ovid-20 - Social Flocking

The morning was breaking and sheep were awaking,  
which was much as the sheep all expected to do 
But this morning's arising was far more surprising –  
a mask fairy had brought them all something new
 
And the fairy remained and to them explained,  
"The times now ahead will be tricky and fraught," 
The sheep were all puzzled, bemasked and bemuzzled,  
but guessed no-one else cared a whit what they thought
 
At the fairy's insistence,"You must keep your distance,  
the folds are unfolding so sheep have more space. 
Sheep breathing is shedding a virus that's spreading  
and that's why you're wearing that mask on your face. 

“Your communal eating, your breathing and bleating,  
endangers the rest of the sheep in the flock 
The virus arising is uncompromising,  
so all sheep are trapped 'twixt a hard place and rock. 

“The spread we are blocking through good social flocking,  
do not be alarmed for the rules are quite clear: 
We must thwart or confuddle a sheep's urge to huddle,  
you can flock all you want to, but don't flock too near! 

“There is no strict mandation for sheep isolation,  
but two metres distance, at least, you must keep, 
If you find this troubling, then you can try bubbling,  
but you can but bubble with one other sheep. 

“Though if you are eating, not breathing nor bleating,  
devoting yourself to the one grazing task, 
You can distance one metre from each other eater,  
but if you stop eating you must wear your mask.
 
“It is most consequential, the mask is essential,  
to live through this crisis, YOU MUST NOT FORGET!"
 
They did not forget them, but thoughtfully ate them,  
and that is as far as sheep wisdom will get.

Premium Member ''Lolita'': a Poetic Study In Seduction

*(A lyric on the sweet seductions of a lovely, vampish nymph and man-eater named Lolita.).


With a body so fine and rare
     like a lover who comes afresh
with a glow that's both sleek and fair;
     and lovely in her fine, smooth flesh;
she sways me so with not a care
     as we slowly combine and mesh.

With expert skill that's hard to find
     and deft and not so innocent
(and with her hands and unchaste mind),
     she unzips my rising discontent.
She pleasures me: I nigh go blind 
     (as her deftness makes me potent).  

With focus and seductive powers 
     she peers into my fettered soul 
and frees me from my iron trousers  
     which crush my sex and spirit whole.
And in minutes, not even hours, 
     I'm under her swift, sweet control!
