The Often Awkward Nature of a Kiss

You will just have to teach yourself
one poor female victim at a time
for kissing is a dangerous occupation
for adolescents and virgins.

Angles and shapes have to be factored in
at lightning speed
before the plunge is undertaken.

The neck must be adjusted to height and
the trajectory of the pursed lips meet
as a natural occurrence
like two butterfly wings
brushing each other in flight.
On first dates
short-sighted rhino clashes
must be avoided at all cost.

Noses and teeth
will always get in the way somehow
just a fact.

In time, with much trial and error
the young will get the hang of it
and it's rather nice
in an often sloppy sort of way.

Eventually tongues are employed
in strange animalistic tasks
that they were never designed for
but in the heat of the moment
eating is often mistaken for kissing.

Go forth confidently then
you young men, but always remember
"though a kiss might be gentle
and oh so elemental
diamonds are a girl's best friend."


Premium Member Personification Is My Favorite Poem To Write

Personification is my favorite poem to write.
I can fly to my nest and feed my eaglets, 
or I can scare humans to death with my wolf howl.
Personification forces me to enter my subject's heart and soul

Not easily done unless you have experience, and enthusiasm for it.
I love this type of poem the best, for I have mastered it in some ways.
I have been a Sears catalog, a Merry-go-round, and a rabbit.
My pages, ponies, and carrot munching teeth show you this, right?

Personification makes me feel safe, flows over my dendrites gladly.
My muse gets excited and begins typing before I have time to agree.
I have been a pirate's parrot, and a Iron's spray bottle.
I have been a mountain range, and a mouse's mistress.

Once you get the hang of it, you may feel joy and excitement.
Developing more character traits like self-respect and self-control
is a mere sideline benefit. Personification. My favorite poetry type.
Come sit by me, we can write your first one together, my friend.

Premium Member Wow I got nothing

Hit me again this game 
is rigged tell that fat guy 
with the fat suitcase 
to bring my money back

my money to sleep again

Tony Spilotro comes 
to mind this time of 
year killed by the 
Chicago Outfit 
June 14th 1986
The bosses actually 
let him say a little 
prayer first .

Premium Member Anti Poem At Pinks With Little Susie

Anti-Poem – “At Pinks With Little Susie”

maybe if we hold hands the dizziness will go away 
little susie be driving a ‘62 gray pontiac grand prix 
she say driving is easy once you get the hang of it
tan nyloned legs caress the gas pedal with mettle
flying fast now she stops at melrose and van ness 
susie say she feels sick and thinks it’s the roadkill
i just hit something bad she say it ain’t alive now
maybe if we play parcheesi all day it will go away 
my problems be like sticky ants she say they stay 
susie parks the pontiac in a shaded lot on la brea
she says she wants a pinks hot dog and a yoohoo
cool guys with duck tails and taps hang out there 
their scarf-wearing chicks smoke filter cigarettes
susie thinks life is a vicious monster with no eyes
it just attacks and kills everyday and everywhere 
susie say her hot dog tastes good tastes like love
will you marry me susie i says suddenly laughing
maybe if we marry all the bad things will go away
little susie be driving home now holding my hand

You Can Overcome

Even if it feels like your world is crashing down, you can get through this. 

You can overcome
By Michelle Morris
05/09/2021

When your world is crashing down,
And you feel like you're imploding,
Stop and take a moment to 
Get your breathing under control.

It's seldom as bad as we're
Imagining it to be;
So have faith in the Universe
To set your soul free.

You are tied to nothing that
You are willing to let go;
So take stock of your situation
And let your feelings flow.

Be guided by your angels, 
Open your mind and be inspired;
Connect to your higher self,
And let your inner truth reveal the sides.

And as time passes by, 
You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure;
You'll grow in experience and confidence,
And have less times of feeling insecure.

Remember that half the battle,
Is what's playing in your mind;
Keep your thoughts good and pure,
And be blessed by heaven's timing.

No matter what the challenge,
You can overcome the tests;
If you focus on being able to do it well,
Your angels will help with the rest.

Let this be a reminder,
There are always rainbows after the storms;
And no matter where you are today,
You can always begin again.

Love and light.

Premium Member Night Flight

At night, he dons the mask, and closes tight his eyes.
He pulls back on the stick, and heads up to the skies.
The wind is whistling around the canopy.
Besides the panel light, none far as eyes can see.
His breathing’s somewhat forced, more than a little bit;
He’s told it will take time to get the hang of it.
He’s soaring through the clouds; he knows because the night,
Once filled with points of light, is strangely opaque white.
He smiles to think the fog is slowly rolling in,
For that’s where dreams are found and difficulty ends.
The autopilot set, he doesn’t fight the yawn.
Then tipping to the east, looks forward to the dawn.

Santa's New Christmas Dance

Verse I

Don't ask for presents
and check your stockings
hanging by the fire place where the log crackles;
you are in for a big surprise this quite evening:
kids, dance with Santa on snowy Christmas's Eve...
put on the best smile and hear the reindeer's bells!

Chorus:

Kids, dance with Santa and swing your legs and arms 'till you fall;
jump up, go around once, stop, jump up, go around twice,
until his tired feet ache and you laugh at his funny groans! 
Get the hang of it, dance with him he's so nice...
hold on, stay on the dance floor...see Santa's belly bounce! 
Kids, dance with Santa and sing a lovely carol!

Verse II

Don't complain like grouches, and tell him he's another chubby Grinch;
he is a different kind of Santa...he doesn't bring any expensive gifts!
Oh, no Santa is not stingy, just the oldest messenger of good cheers; 
you may be disappointed a lot, but please don't tarnish his image!
He came here to teach you the new Christmas dance with rhythm;
watch his steps and learn to dance within the allowed range! 

Ending:
 
I don't like those long faces, kids dance with Santa on this Christmas Eve;
you'll forget about your presents expectations...you wouldn't want to leave!

Relapse

Soon as you think you have it all together
A gust of wind knocks down the house of cards
I thought I was starting to get the hang of me but now I don't know which hand I'm playing
Holding a full hand only to get straight flushed down the toilet
The tissue is gone because I've been crying and blowing my nose like I'm sick
Well, I'm sick of you
So, sick I run right back to you
I can't shake this cold from the shivers of loneliness
And you're only a text away
Another road to you filling potholes with broken concrete 
Feels like my heart is set in stone because it's hard to move away from you
Even though it's better for you...
I say to myself
Well, this will be the last time
Which is what I said the last time
Lying to myself to feel better about the poison I continue to digest as if it's healthy for me
Maybe you're good for me
Lying to myself
p.s. when are you going to tell the truth...

Premium Member Unable of Late

Of late, I seem unable
To write a song or fable.
Perhaps it’s too much caffeine;
I seem to be unstable.

Now recently, I’m shaking;
My muscles have been aching.
I may be lacking protein,
Or maybe I’m just faking.

A certain strange malodor;
Those germs are all freeloaders.
Perhaps it is my hygiene,
My wife complained, I showed her.

Perhaps it’s too much caffeine,
I may be lacking protein.
Of late, I seem unable;
Perhaps it is my hygiene.

Another of the 4 stanza poems where the 4th is constructed from the non-rhyming lines from first 3 and the first line from the first. 

This one is 7 syllables throughout, so depending on the definition of a jueju, it fits that category, as described in "Dawn song".

It's also fairly stupid, just trying to get the hang of this 4th stanza as 
a summary of the first 3...

Premium Member Softball Memories

It sure took me a while to get the hang of that bat.
The grip just wasn’t right.
With a friends’ help, I swung and hit;
probably, hundreds of times.
In the end, I felt that I could,
smack a mountain and send it sailing for yards,
with that bat.

Softball was a blast, when I was a teen;
Every swing of that bat; every ball that I smacked;
swelled my chest with pride.
A dusty slide into home base; 
Jettisoned me into ego-space;
oh, it took awhile to come back down to earth.

There were, cheers from the bleachers 
and the smell of popcorn,
hot dogs and soda pop permeated the air,
like a winter fog. 
Perhaps it was those succulent scents, more than the cheers, that kept us winning.
