Premium Member Rainforest


            Oldest living ecosystem
            forms rainforest on heavy rainfall.

           Tall evergreen trees spread thick canopy
            Sunrays are hardly allowed
           to penetrate at ease.

          Rainforest enjoys tropic zone.
          Solar energy in high tone.
          Blessings of environ.
          Bliss of rain-showers all year round.
          Perennial trees to astound.
                                 
            Verdant verdict of 
              Green Revolution
              Sometimes soaked  soil 
               emitting strong petrichor.
    
                             Fresh foliage , Feral flora 
                              flourish in fervent fervor...
                                    gorgeous green to glow

Premium Member A Parent's Love

Memories lie strewn like scented petals
Emitting sweet fragrance, they tickle my senses,
Taking me to the time, when after a long wait
We got a gift overdue, lifting our joy to excesses.

Into our nest a birdie came, tender and treasured,
Chirping incessantly, making our dusky days bright
My first born, a baby boy, a late arrival 
Who altered my life and made me soar like a kite.

Another came after three years, 
As a late-night guest, giving us added joy
Excitedly we watched our little boys run and play 
As our house rang loud with laughter and cry.

Elder one was bossy, still they were true brothers 
Grew up to be our pride and joy, bringing cheer
No noisy brawl as the younger was obliging
They rarely quarrelled, preferred to be together 

The ash laden cinders of our heart blazoned with our sons’ arrival
The elder one was hyperactive and was quite inquisitive
He would ask- “Why rain always falls down and never goes up”
Questions- making the answers less by definitive.

Once when l was holding the little one in my hands
The elder asked- “Of the two, who do you love more”
I could see a trace of sibling jealousy flashing on his face
I fell silent, but knew it was a question I couldn’t ignore

Drawing him closer, after a pause, I answered
You both have place in my heart that no one can take
When you win, my heart sings in joy, when you fall
I come to lift you, when misbehave, my heart, you break.

If you stay a sweet child as you are now,
My heart will have equal space for you and your brother
With all doubts cleared, I saw a glitter glimmer in his eyes
He nestled closer, with no more fears to bother.

Premium Member The Noise

It was the quietest of hums deep pitched
that appeared to be surrounding me.
It did not have the sizzle of electricity
and was not a light or the fridge.

Hunting high and low trying to make sense
of where it was originating from.
A few hours later and still no wiser
I sat back and pondered on things.

Next I tried turning off the power
which made not a smidgeon of difference.
It was still there quietly emitting sound
I knew what I needed to track it down.

I got out a stethoscope and placed it
first to the walls and then to the ceiling.
Ah now I knew what it was, munching away
slowly demolishing the whole of my house.

Feasting away, leaving behind a clue
a small pile of very fine wood.
Yes I was infested by a very small grub
commonly known as a wood worm.

Premium Member I'Ll Grant You This

They don't make 'em like this anymore
In this age of fast paced life style
Cary Grant was the epitome of debonair
Gals swooned at his beguiling smile

Exuding pure charm from every pore
A warmth that invited us in
To taste the warmth of his loving heart
Revelling in charisma therein

All my dear sisters who numbered seven
Would've gone ga-ga for a chance
For just a moment wrapped in his arms
Thrilled in a seductive trance

Was surely a different time in the forties
Of elegance, of sophistication
Gals seemed a lot more feminine then 
Emitting their sexual vibrations

Don't make them like Cary Grant today
Now it's raucous rock and roll
Flamboyance and flair assures success 
Instead of inner warmth of the soul

Premium Member Oasis

Impressed upon those desert dunes 
that stretch back o'er the years, 
my lonely prints hear fading tunes 
as sand seals wind-swept fears. 

A fervid gust comes whisking past, 
disrupting settled pains. 
Warmth enwraps my heart at last, 
emitting torrid rains. 

No fair mirage could conjure this 
I taste from deepest springs. 
No cactus thorn could pierce this bliss 
that hearts at risk can bring. 

This arid wasteland starts to thrive 
as streams of ardor flow. 
No dreams of grace must I contrive 
for blooms of love now grow. 

A splendor-realm from 'twining roots 
has breadth beyond this land 
where passion's sky-borne geyser shoots 
erupt from burning sand. 

A beautiful oasis shines 
where barren ground once laid. 
A set of footprints now defines 
the melody that’s played.

Premium Member The Poison Ivy

Silence………A solemn hush
   except  
      for 
         insects
               running
amongst the jade green grass
and the large invasive vines.

Large cypress trees, 
       stately and tall,
throw shadows around me
as I wend my way
along the lonely lanes
of moss-covered, musty-smelling tombs
careful not to touch the poison ivy
or admire the wisteria vines.
 
People do visit here,
for look, bunches of flowers
adorn the place,
emitting scents to try and nullify
the staleness of the resting place.
 
Headstones obliterated by the wind,
makes me wonder who lies beneath.
Was she beautiful and tall? 
      Ugly and short?
What does it matter now?
For all I care she could have been
      beautiful and short.

But some things do matter
in our personal short earthly time.
All that matters is
what we do with our life.
Death holds no sting, really.
   But 
     don’t 
        touch 
            the poison ivy.

'tis the Gift To Be Simple

The Valley Of Love And Delight':

An anniversary feting mine birth (date),
a plan we almost didst ditch
nonetheless the general game plan 
soared like an Eagle,
and went off swimmingly (into a dive)
hence we chose Wegman's with doll finned porpoise
minus a sue per stevedore tailored hitch

cuz the China Jade restaurant
near Collegeville Redner's
nearly felt cold as ice dining niche
as if we accidentally 
got highjacked to Siberia
where heat took precedence

verses restaurateur eatery reputable pitch
thus despite praise worthy Yelp reviewers,
whether they be named Poe or Rich
hard, earning their keep whose fingers

hut till lee diploid across 
warp and weft to stitch
together disparate threads
weaving a webbed whirled Magnum Opus
where thoughts analogous

to this aspiring paperback writer exerts,
(whose muscles twitch)
in an attempt for phalanges
tortured as going every which

way with to craft a non ode us paean
from deep within thy bowel
applying me magical diving rod –
essentially a computerized dowel

which makes a dinging sound,
or emitting an odor most fetid and fowl
unintentionally inducing creatures
large and small to howl
at the abominable cursing and swearing
using languages that lack a vowel

sound - clouding ability to communicate
to remain steadfast 
with intent thwarted by (third eye blind)
minor detour of fate

three doors down and celebrate modestly, 
NEVER thought to "FAKE" 
forgo wing NOR deferring
time to be spent with 
a gluten and MSG free 

NON GMO endearing sibling
NO whey iz she dee snide dour twisted sister
hood moost likely become irate
invested in marriage to a loving mate.

Weep For Your Son

So powerful  yet so vulnerable
So mighty but so weak
A life of grandeur and dominance
embodied with greed and abundance
is drawing to a close by its own arrogance

I could see everything from all angle
All wrapped up within  one giant  circle
Connecting the bold dots on the external triangle
 
This morning I sat on the big  fearless rock
Watching the silent river flowing in the deep
For a while everything was dead silent
And I could hear my own breath and my heart throbbing

The trees were silent too  and there wasn't a touch of breeze
It felt  like a big ceremony was happening  way out in the deep
Water flowed peacefully under the old bridge
and the birds flew to and fro the ridge, murmuring

I could sense that something sad was about to happen
My mother used to tell that silent river runs deep
and the quite ones are usually the most dangerous ones

I sat there staring in the water praying that it will remain  calm
But all of a sudden something more powerful than me began
raging in the trees  causing a turbulent commotion 
And shouting  cars  start parading up and down the street

The bird thunderous voice kept screaming in the trees
Forcing me to pack up and quickly take my leave
I headed towards the East staring directly into the morning sun
lamenting my discomforts but it had a message for me before the day began
After hearing my case  it buried itself under the thick blue sky 

The scent of fresh flowers circulated the atmosphere
And I  found   myself  in three different spots picking  flowers far and near
They  had the same color  the same smell and  the same truth

The sun came out from under the  tempestuous  sky 
with a ferocious  energy that lit up the entire sky
I could literally feel it scorching my face oh what a big disgrace
I lie on the grass in front of  the  big round pond 
watching the sun emitting its woeful verdict

King Nebuchadnezzar has boasted of  building the great Babylon 
by his own mighty power, for himself and his patrons
But he was driven away from power and lived
with wild animals and eat grass until he was humbled

I got up suddenly and stared at the water in front of me
And saw one duck swimming in big wide pond
Mother duck circled around the pond 
swimming up and down and quacking merrily around
Quack
Quack

Panther

You've heard of silver unicorns,
Of griffins guarding gold
And tales of dragons fanning fire
Are very often told.

But back in medieval times
A fiendish feline reigned,
With mystical supremacy
He feasted unrestrained.

For when with hungriness he roared
A sweet scent filled the air,
Which like a moth unto a flame
Drew prey inside his lair.

Panther (Legendary Creature) Poetry Contest 
Sponsor - Julia Ward


Under medieval belief, after feasting, the panther will sleep in a cave for a total of three days. After this period ends, the panther roars, in the process emitting a sweet smelling odor. This odor draws in any creatures who smell it (the dragon being the only creature immune) they are eaten by the panther, and the cycle begins again.

Awaiting Rescue By Good Ole Extraterrestrial Homeboys

Upon surrendering this self
hypnotized faux yes ("FAKE") Earthing,
I noticed nothing amiss
(which temporary state of transcendent bliss
twice daily meditation strives to attain),
ah...before you dismiss
a non "FAKE" claim lemme juiced

apprise ye with a very brief hiss
tour re:, how this generally outlandish
(long gush fellow) doth wanna kiss
hippy, cheeky and buddy 
UFO's (with chess
a mon bot of errant knightly -
je ne sais quois finesse,

Oh Henri Matisse -
yea artfully add a touch of Swiss
obviously predominantly
French laced politesse),
though up pawn occasion
this lousy manque non
rook key mutant doth miss

long disused subtle social cues, cuz I still
feel asper (in) a human aberration
always felt like an outcast in an alien nation
even though born on Mars,
(a distinct honorable station),

yet resided on third rock from the sun
what seems like forever damnation
yours truly experienced abolition
against supposed invaders from outer space,
and essentially targeted, kindled,

and bullied on par like an abomination,
no surprise while attempting
to escape being walled din,
and trumped "illegal" accusation
crackled, snapped, and popped with abjection,

your honor (forgot to mention
earlier got picked up mistaken as invitation
from outer space by a kid prized
as some sophisticated surveillance drone),
within a sketchy section

of town, and must avoid acquisition
by mad scientists (employed by NASA),
who will undoubtedly take immediate action
and disassemble me (carefully as if dismantling
Bono fide atomic bomb), hence activation

must be established pronto against administration,
sans powerful GMO firearm, emitting disinformation
(mine defense of last resort)
will definitely signal to nemesis
furthering my aggravation,
and Putin this webbed, whirled,
and wired woebegone wysiwyg at risk.
