End is near for Ben's career for having a mere beer

Fear does appear might be the last tier of Ben’s career
Not after Ashes nadir but dafter going out for a beer
Pundits in press pulpits confess we should be severe
Rafter of Puritans cheer stress ECB do make it clear

Fans feast on our beast from the North East a panacea 
Won't forget the reset no more regret Bazball engineer
Our brigadier bringing up the rear all singing pioneer
Our white knight up for the fight bright light chandelier

Tarnished but varnished players’ peer friend puppeteer
Plucking for our swashbuckling and rucking buccaneer
Scaling new heights orienteer & trend bucking cavalier
Our bombastic and iconoclastic fantastic bombardier 

Not chipper our ripper skipper do hold dear will be a tear
Done like a kipper for being a sipper now team can’t steer
For argy bargy with rugger bugger nipper who did sneer
Wokery no is jiggery pokery by a seedier media profiteer

We're getting a clue there maybe a coup is all very qu*er
Fans ire spiking as us all forever liking that Viking veneer
Baz and Key let Ben be for it is his team to commandeer

A Prince didn’t always convince still wince at Shoaib Bashir
Out too late mate no Cinderella slipper so fall on your spear
Not for the Ashes clashes nadir but lashes for a mere beer
Souvenir in cellar is this the end of great fella’s stellar career?

Premium Member As Lovely Mannequins

Iconoclastic lots of marshiest beauty

Clenched sublime altruistic nature bore –
Morals indefatigably humbled, reasoning in bondage –
Bondage of the highest periphery
Blessings encountered in watered chaos.
Blocked nuts with scanty feelers,
Inducing mere bouts of euphoric impasses
Rarely a gift of fatherly nature.
Hay filled tubs called but heads
Preferably a misfortune 
To their worthless masses.
Maevius a reader’s delight be
In the fumbling fold
Of this rowdy rendezvous.
More ore less classy oddities
On deferred pedestals
As lovely Mannequins
To display for sale.
Now Hyperion his burning sword behold
None to hear Triton’s call to arms.

Premium Member My Title: See Below

Perhaps my title should have been determined first --
but today I differed and decided to think of it last,
tacked on later, a mere hint to what appears below:
a clumsy broken flow of simple comment from
my head and hands.  
                                               I have framed
few statements which together could find,
perhaps, entrance to a heedless mind.  Or not.
So many now prefer a different course and,
in opposition, I and others are shut down.
But at 80-plus I have no need to heed
nor ear to pay them.  My rusty words will
still emerge, heard or not.
                                              The weather lately
(that universal topic of concern!) has been strange.
Whether climate change be true, or not, is contested
by iconoclastic protestors, as though vocal
opposition could make the earth cooler
or hotter, could affect the frequency of floods,
droughts, hurricanes -- or even quakes, fires,
and imminent eruptions of volcanoes.  
                                              Ice ages loom.
Or all will melt, and we'll be again a water world.
Who can deny we seem in danger of extinction?
A simpler strategy, useless or not, is to
bet on the proverbial "worst case scenario"
and to prepare, effective ultimately or not,
as conscientiously as possible.  
                                             Such is our nature.
Because, as we all are taught (true or not),
"Hope springs eternal." Ah! 
Finally. There's my title!
                                             And here's my disdainful ending: "Hah!!!"

Premium Member The Clown

The clown

Circuit circuits
moving round in circles
swings and roundabouts
junctions dead ends
living closures and 
beginnings

The fool wise man
woman child in all
posits mocks
understands the world
beauty horror
misgivings paths
ahead and gone
retrieved adventoured
learned felt inspected
long gone present 

Re-chisseles
comprehends in 
jest and wonderment

The jester
foolhardy
and foolproof
scribes in stone
and pencil
when fool’s gold
is just enough
where paradise
develops based on
hopes beliefs
and inner truth

The clown speaks
joy in face
of darkness
insight desperation
inspiration sweating
away the clouded
skies of dogma
digma paradigm

A joker true to
juddered jibes
jewels miracles
astonished tunes
informal charters
melodies and scented
wordings
bridges schisms
buffering the madness
infinite insanity
impoverished delusion

A senseless idiot 
giving idioms
meaning iconoclastic
impromptu impropriety
making sense of what 
there really is

A bubble blower
whistle blower
soapy gentle creature
carbolic and pugnacious
peaceful warrior
observing pulchritude
a journeyman

The circuits circle 
circuses' loops 
and rounded
loopholes spirals
intervening interweaving 
fabrics
tapestries 
makes 
the clown

Premium Member Gladys was Grandfathered in

Gladys has an iconoclastic personality
a beatnik, hippie, nonconformist to the max
her yard does not fit into this posh modern neighborhood
it is colorful with reds, greens, blues, oranges
an assortment of mushrooms, frogs, windmills and such
she has not had to comply to the four approved color schemes
the homeowners association cannot oust her
she was grandfathered in, “as is”
a stipulation for selling this land to the developer
her monkeys, gnomes and faeries thumbing their noses
at neighbors who are not allowed to paint their doors red
or add an ornamental rock without permission of the association


Winter Spell

"Winter Spell" 

It’s always Winter here
I sleep to dream 
of waking

in my dream
my soul is shaking
my body locks me in

I am 
a frozen limitation

Premium Member Urban Sonnet

Surrounded by two rapid running shores
a concrete chain of buildings fill the skies
strong pungent scents compete with rapid scores
of pulsing sounds and screeching, crowded cries
iconoclastic beats and muted sighs
the City always wakens sleepy eyes. 

We hail a taxi from a dirty curb
while subways rumble, sweating underground 
and ride the hustle through the shifting herd
torrential rains quite suddenly come down 
they slap and streak the windows all around
as raindrops distort faces that surround. 

A plethora of sights spread like a feast 
from Broadway shows to High Line paths that span
Hudson River’s architectural peaks
roof top restaurants, a classy jazz band
we disappear into museum land
then fall asleep, a true, devoted fan.

To venture into life’s mosaic streams
is to taste and embrace all that it means.

Jihad Donald Trump Style

The glory of America, 
now heats up
with agitation poised 
to strike on the brink
sans legislation incites humiliation,
which goads desecration
 
as fete accompli chink
in armor of Democratic rubric, 
constituting capitalistic
ethic, generic iconoclastic, 
and jingoistic logic,
nor budging an inch 

when mandating masses 
swallow his drink
what huff huck – 
this belligerent, dominant and
fervent hellraiser doth 
bungle in the jungle

decreeing tacit Marshall law 
fast as a shutterfly eyewink
as his cosmic crotch grab 
doth put Venus under his sway
with his Mercury hill temperament
pitches the orbit of planet Earth 

tubby comb out of balance
infected by hiz anti Jew pitter 
damnations, excoriations, fulminations
Huzzah sing how whiz derriere 
didst Sat urn simultaneously
crushing crucible as an Uranus

indiscriminately plopping 
two hundred fifty pounds of flesh
doubling down humming 
his favorite Neptune
that dost affect Pluto hoc crass sea
repeating a self coined motto – 

I yam almighty, therefore no fink
simply commandeering the reins of control,
a one man military intelligence groupthink
hut triad and true dyed in the wool 
rip pug in ant guise zing rogue
rejoicing tuff fool, governing and hoodwink

king the die hard fans of dictatorial, 
linkedin and monarchist ink
cube bus thriving on 
wielding indomitable aggression
practiced in the Art of the Deal 
incorporating an unanticipated jink

iron fist rule reigning down 
vis a vis pro pens heave lee 
and prop hen city
flashing hiz seal of approval, 
which scribbled signature
doth not smooth arctic monkey
 
serve hay puzzling kink
boot his frenzy to bulldoze 
catastrophic, formulaic, and illogic
spells these United States 
of America will become hell
in a handbasket worth repeating 

with nary a trace of the grit of link
kin, the sixteenth president, 
(whose ruggedly pioneering frontier existence)
found him steady and strong, 
plus soft hearted as pelt o’ mink
the epitome of this forty fifth 
elected commander in mischief.

Premium Member Stoic Path of Virtue

Written: October 28, 2023
              _________________________________________

Among the living is where perfection is found.
Stoicism is a path of life that acts as dull ground.
The advice is to focus on the bright side of life.
Dispel the negativity, and let vanish all strife.

Inciting people to enhance their morality
To foster resilience in the face of adversity.
Strengthening your resolve and impediment
Beat iconoclastic wits for a fine pediment.

Grasp of the overarching rationality
Sustaining integrity even amid adversity
The Stoic Path is a philosophy of such depth.
With wisdom and tranquility in your breadth

Life taught us to persist in the face of hardship.
To sustain balance while still preserving worship.
Maintain calmness under challenging conditions.
Surmount your inhibitions and avoid suspicion.

And to welcome fulfillment with dignity.
Handle highs and lows with stoic sympathy.
Stoicism, truly, provides solace and calm.
A way of living that allows us to fully qualm.

How? By concentrating on our inner proclivity.
And shedding our bonds is an act of loyalty.
We are liberated from the bonds of conflict.
And accept a promising, significant life profit.

The Stoic Way is a philosophy with lofty stature.
steers our deeds into an improved, sound future.
Integrity and prudence in the face of misfortune
To mold ourselves and have a vital life and fortune.
