Oi Oi Hoi Polloi

All aboard the bizarre Farage barge.. 

Unless of course you are from abroad..
.
Narcissist catalyst.. old school fraud..discord twist..

Can't resist.. staging the raging red mist.. 

Fist of Mob rule tryst does persist..  


Depraved raves..insist..craved faves..

Won't save slaves & knaves..

Hellbent they are sent..

To graves under the waves…

Foolish votes for ghoulish gloats..

Seedier media leaders lying..

Defying the dying..


Folks crying..ghastly ghostly boats..

Crude jokes delude..lewd masterstrokes denude..

Corporate rascal castle debacle floats..

On dank murky murderous moats..

Scuffles.. muffles ruffles & kerfuffles

Pokes & provokes just for bank notes..


The ubiquity of inequity

This poem or tome..

Every face…race should be.

Free to roam..

In this place..

We all call home..

Cup of Tea

A glass of milk, of water, and wine -
Which one that suits you best? 
Which do you prefer to drink? 
Me? The first two are my faves.

There on the center table stand
A cup of tea and a cup of coffee -
Take your pick and sip, 
As you enjoy watching TV.

A mug of liquor, a sachet of drugs, 
And a pack of cigarettes -
Are you going to seriously damage
Both your health and wealth? 

Listening to the sound of music, 
Painting, or writing songs of love -
Whatever is your plan of activity, 
Make sure it pleases the Lord above.

I'll vow to fear the Almighty, 
I'll depart from the road of iniquity; 
Intensive obedience to His Word
Is my cup of tea.

She's Just a Girl Full of Life and Adventure

She's a girl with fashion and passion 
Full of life and adventure
She loves her shoes and bags
She loves her custom jewelries 
She loves to accessorize her outfits 
She loves jumpsuits and long dresses, they shape her taller and flow nicely
She has a passion for nail arts
She loves to paint her own nails 
of course to rhyme whatever the season may be
One particular season is her best 
... Summer... because she has a passion for the out doors
She loves to fish and ride on her boat
She loves the beach and the ocean
She loves to run and take long walks
She loves to eat summery foods 
A chill white wine just tastes better in the summer after a nice long day
And while she's mesmerized with the transition of Fall
She loves to fall back and appreciate
the enchanting beauty Mother Nature display 
She loves to go apple picking 
She loves to cook and try new recipes daily 
Winter is the best for pot roasts and soups
But there's nothing more comforting than sipping on a hot cocoa watching the snow coming down beautifully 
Although she's afraid to drive in the snow
But she would love to learn how to ski 
She drinks red wine all winter thru spring 
It keeps her warm and relaxed
She loves cherries, they're her faves
And while she suffers the spring's allergy 
She just love the blooming of flowers, they're the most delicate beautiful things 
She's just a girl full of life and adventure 
She's all about living the moment 
For tomorrow has no promises... 

            Smile

Fly Away

Fly Away


“Seagull, you fly across the horizon”

Parallel dreams and sifted thoughts
on an amber thread, thin as the beliefs
once found as hope, now falling
beneath sorrowed wings, gliding


“Into the misty morning sun” 

Through hazy eyes and broken hearts,
tarnished memories flow within this dawn
as you fade off in the distance,
soaring ever higher, disappearing into the east 


“Nobody asks you where you are going”

Silence fills the maze that is your mind, leaving you
staring at dead ends and fractured turns,
as the realization that you didn’t matter
forms on clouds of whispering truths…no one cares


“Nobody knows where you're from”

And in the end, you are not sure yourself
from where you once came, a blotted image
on empty shorelines of tangled debris
which you easily have forgotten, as you as well will be


“And you fly away…”


Written with the help of lyrics (italicized lines)from Bad Company's song “Seagull”  One of my faves.

Premium Member Speaking of Flowers

Flowers speak
the Gladiola is never sad
says words with a smile.

Tulips are the pun
not one but...
sound it out, you'll see.

Daisies reveal secrets
she loves me,
she loves me not.

Buttercups
lay it on thick
compliment everyone.

Carnations rev their engines. 
Express themsleves from land to land.

Freesias 
my personal favorites 
blow a fragrant line.

Sweet Peas, 
are still babies
they're still learning.

Patience wait
as long as they need to
before they speak.

Snapdragons 
can fly off the handle
but please forgive them

Orchids tend to fib
are they adults Or .....!

Bluebells sing 
a soulful tune
and I love the blues.

Paper Whites appropriately 
recite their written words.

Roses bloom 
the most beautiful
of words.

But the best flowers of all
don't need to say a word.
With love you gift them 
a bouquet of their faves
as they gently kiss your lips!

SOMBRE SOLILOQUY

The journey lasted for not more than forty glorious and blessed years
Before your smiles gradually faded as you journeyed to a land far away, 
The hearse swallowed you into its belly, while hearkening not to our fears,
It sirened off with the streams of our cries flowing far beyond our doorways,

You were interred in that hot harmattan afternoon of November 
With no winter to wither the sombreness of our soliloquys, 
But surely for many more years to come, you shall be remembered,
Tho' it is certain that one day, we'll meet again by the heavenly quays,

As long as the tears of the skies wet the earth and the stars still continue in the sky to twinkle, 
You'll forever be loved, even if the tears that flow in our hearts make our cheeks appear dry,
We'll just keep keeping in touch with you in prayer even after our skins completely wrinkle,
Tho', no matter how bitter our heart is, your goodness can't be brought back by our earthly cry.

But the shares of conviviality you doled out will always be there for us to appreciate, 
A quintessential celestial reception for you, is what we, on your behalf, will daily apprecate,
May the almighty God compensate you for the goodness, everyone knows you gave,
May God count you worthy of being chosen as one of his beloved faves.

A Visit To the Met

With temps and the humidity
No longer off the chart,
We made a visit to the Met*
Since we’ve been starved for art.

A Winslow Homer show would soon
Be packing up and so,
It seemed to be the perfect time
For us to up and go.

The hordes had not arrived yet,
Thus the galleries allowed
Us time for a relaxing look
Without a pushy crowd.

Before we left, we stopped to see
Our faves – Cezanne, Monet,
Van Gogh and several others,
Making it a lovely day.

Although the Covid variant
Is here and on the move,
It’s time for us, museum-wide,
To get back in the groove.

Premium Member Daffodils

Daffodils
By Franklin Price
03/06/2022

Yesterday I was returning 
From my first ride of the year
As I came into the back yard
Blooms of daffodils appeared

Don't think that they were blooming
When I left to take the ride
They are my Barbara's favorites
I stopped then, and there I cried

The tears were ones of happiness
For they're also faves of mine
God had made them bloom from her
And I took that as a sign.

My Barb is up in Heaven
And she's watching over me
She's wanting me to carry on
To be the person I should be

The daffodils that were there blooming
Were sent by God, who wears the crown
Barb asked if He would send them
For  she's in Glory looking down.
