Premium Member Outlaw Band of Clatter

The youth have teeth like tigers or tight ropes
Abundant mess of forest hair,    d u r e s s
They charge the strings with their electric hopes
And bloody drum with battered sticks possess

(Refrain:
Tattooed wrinkles in flash pan of gray matter
In classic dress, this outlaw band of clatter)

(CHORUS OF VOICES: 
The youth have teeth of forest hair
They charge with battered sticks.)

The youth have walked in circles, find themselves
In  p r e e x i s t e n t  footprints,  m e r r i l y
Going round, and flying off crude music shelves
And plucking   h e a r t s t r i n g s   arbitrarily

(Refrain:
Tattooed wrinkles in flash pan of gray matter
In classic dress, this outlaw band of clatter)

(CHORUS OF VOICES:
Find themselves merrily
Going round arbitrarily)

B a d a $ $  at one time - a   m i l l i o n   to one
W  O  N   over   generous     v e n e r a t i o n
They wore suits as they melted in the    s u n
The-sin-of-getting-old       g e n e r a t i o n

(CHORUS OF VOICES:

veneration
                   plucking heartstrings
                                                     a million to one

tattooed wrinkles
                             under duress
                                                    outlawed by the youth

alzheimers
                  parkinsons
                                    walkers
                                                  death beds)

They wore suits as they melted in the    s u n

They wore the sin of getting old)

My Reflection

I serve my body day and night,
Breathing in and breathing out.
My skin’s pale and paper-thin,
People can see right through me.
I fill my lungs with nicotine
So I don’t have to stress ‘bout it.
If I had money and no sense
I'd use hard drugs and yellow pills.

Proteins, fats, and some carbs;
Four meals a day, and nothing helps.
My mom said when I was 16
That death looks better in coffins.

I've tried so hard to find something attractive in the mirrors,
All I see in my reflection’s lots of flaws and imperfections. Baby,
Turn off the lights and draw the blinds,
Touch my body, get me high.
I’ve been hiding from the eyes,
Now just hide it all inside.

I need someone to f*** me just
So I can prove i’m good enough.
In fact, it works, but who is up
For wasting that much of their time?
But when perverts online clicked "like”,
Shared, texted me and subscribed,
My ego reached new heights, and fell
When I stepped on the bathroom scale.

Influencers, pretty faces,
healthy food, and six-pack abs
On every screen, in p***, in ads,
the World Wide Web and dating apps

I've tried so hard to find something attractive in the mirrors,
All I see in my reflection’s lots of flaws and imperfections. Baby,
Turn off the lights and draw the blinds,
Touch my body, get me high.
I’ve been hiding from the eyes,
Now just hide it all inside.

Since I have no one to call mine,
I spend nights on my phone, so I
Get compliments and dirty “wows”
From strangers when they see my a***.
Since he said I don't turn him on,
I've really wondered what is wrong.
My skin cannot hide my bones,
And I can't get rid of these thoughts.

                                 While there is life, there is Hope -
              Hope to look forward for heavenly trophies from our Lord
          HE will grant today, tomorrow and everywhere, here and abroad.

Inspired by Francesco Gioli's Acquaiola

balance can be found in the offset
the heavy water jug your posture tilts for
      a mirror of the landscape
  sparse, endless, lonely

distant from the body
      swept up and onwards by the wind 

     all held together, poised
                hoping that's what saves you -
when you want, need, fear your knees will buckle
       everything to smash 
for  it  all  to  lay   in   p  i  e  c  e   s

where you decide you'll pick none of it up

never carry that weight again
never return to the place it all 
                                                      f
                                                      e
                                                     l 
                                                       l     
                                
    never look upon that ground
never feel so tightly held in place again
    so tightly bound
              as a means of survival

      just collapse
         and lay still a while
       feel the same wind, now as a breeze 
               feel what you held together ~ unbind 

       spin on the spot
           let your clothing flare
      take up space 

release.
every.
pent.
up.
emotion. 
that.
you.
thought.
needed.
holding.
in.

scream
    dance
    run
        sing

be free from balancing the offset
          free from the trek

roll down the hills laughing
smile whilst you
       cry-the-whole-thing-out

               let it go

stand unburdened 
don't carry it any further
you can let it go

Premium Member December 2021

Well now, isn’t that just dandy?!
Isn’t this some fun?!
Another Christmas cancelled. 
Another party undone.

I’m double vaxed and boosted.
Short on TP, but not of stress.
I stay masked and mostly distant,
Amidst a supply chain mess.

I’m stocked up on beer, wine, and whiskey.
My cupboards are filled with canned food.
I’m blessed with enough marijuana 
To keep up a good attitude.

My attention’s too skittish for Netflix.
I'm binge-watching YouTube instead.
I like the ones on power tools, and music.
My taste in p*rn is better left unsaid.

I visit Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok,
Snapchat, LinkedIn, and Zoom.
I greet strangers in the metaverse
From the depths of my living room.

I’ve done hundreds of crossword puzzles.
Built many scale model planes.
I can take a day and kill it,
Then neatly inter the remains.

And when there’s nothing, absolutely nothing left to do,
I go back to the second day of first grade 
With eight Crayola crayons in a little cardboard box.
Every color matters when there’s artwork to be made.

free form poetry and programming

discovery
let us create a mission to mars
in hyperspace
perhaps a gpt  game
where we isolate known valence electrons
these are source codes of electricity
which anonimity excludes
from detection
in p doping of semiconductors
we capture and confine static discharge
in the server and mainframing of our frame
our constitution
our coins are evident
yet outliers constantly join the angle and rebound
in economic input definitions
i postulate that economic hardship is created
not destroyed
and at the same time the law of energy does not apply here
we need this applicable law of a suppositional phrase
to turn
to turn a phrase
a bitcoin into a reduction of methods
methods used
to dissuade the mind from work
thereby creating dissolution of
of whatever paper exists in the subtext of our register

this non profitable sector in time
comes under scrutiny very often in law
and can improve with our diligence
change is forth coming
duplicate notes and false positives isolate permanent ink
fact checking of legislature in dcma is verifiable
thesis
mla
conclusion
assembly language
general assembly
peaceful assembly
pledge of constraint
removal of obstruction
so on and so forth

Premium Member -Share A Little Of You

I would really like to know more about you
If you are comfortable to share
An idiosyncrasy ,event, a talent , pipe dream
A fact about you …. you are happy to declare

Perhaps we will learn more about each other
Maybe connect with someone new
Or just be surprised, impressed or have a laugh
When we simply share a little of  ‘me and you’

So, here is something about me
If you do share it does not have to be three~ 

~My dream since l was a little girl was to be a singer
   but l cannot hold a note!

~ l once walked through a busy shopping centre in Singapore
    with a long white tail hanging out the back of my jeans
    “Yes”….a very long piece of toilet paper!!! When l got back
    to my sister she told me and pulled it off …. we 
    were in hysterics!

~l have lived in five countries as an adult


I hope someone in P.S Land is happy to share 
Or maybe this is a silly idea
Will be interesting to see if any response
If nothing ….this poem will disappear!! Haha

Premium Member Celestial Choreography

As the glistening jewels 
         of snow cascade like 
ballerinas pirouetting 
      to the crescendo of time, 
choreographed from porcelain 
      keys of your h e a r t,
delicate fingers of the 
      winter moon stretch,
enveloping forlorn footprints 
      of poignant memories, 
framed with petal-like poems 
      you've placed in the 
gallery of my melancholic mind 
     where soulless shadows still~
haunt me in holographic 
     hues through somber nights, but
If I were to rewrite the anatomy 
     of this romance with~
juxtapositions, should I rescript 
    your promises in p s y c h e d e l i c ink? 
knit silken sonnets from the 
    tapestry of scintillating 
           stars in our favour, 
letting go of all the 
         seasonal silhouettes
    that seized redolent rhymes, 
maybe, it is from pain 
    we relearn to dream 
    in periwinkle pigments to
nurture and navigate through 
    decayed gardens embalmed in 
opalescent tears and fluorescent fears 
             suppressed and 
personified within gossamer
     tales of sunflower s i l e n c e…
Quilted with questions that your 
     quintessential quill can~
reveal, in romanticised verses, to wade 
     through the abstracts of weary woes. 

So, set your stones to 
      architect cobalt grey lanes, 
to usher feathered thoughts into the 
      serenity of your scented sanctuary. 
until I find the perfect gateway 
      adorned with crystals in the 
verdant valleys, engrossed in vanilla flakes, 
where cosmic yearnings are embroidered 
   between mauve instruments
                    harmonised from 
xylophone whispers reverberating
             in vermilion s t i l l n e s s…

    You will always be the 
            clementine crown of my sun,
              the scarlet scrapes in my ink, 
zested in zealous dahlias 
     and no rain can drown 
                  this celestial 
                         c o l l a b o r a t i o n…..

The Poetry Police Have Been Called! Look Out For P.D!!!

I’m trying a new refreshing write
My blessed  Soul word out of sight 
Maybe my view should truly change
Having a good look at new poetic range

I don’t want to upset the infamous P.D.**
The one who’ll  police me in 3D
Undercover poet, that apparently is not?
If I reach for my pen, he’ll take his shot!

On the run with out my needed soul
I better hide in that deep dark hole.
As he Ass kisses all those lovely ladies
Maybe he wants to have their babies??

Taking advantage of his poetic power ;-)
I bet in reality he’s as sweet as a flower!
What horrid word’s I use without my belief 
If I get caught, he may smash out my teeth!

A poet on the run from a cop so hot?
In P.Ds eyes, a poet, that I am not??
To be or not to be, that is his question?
Fountain Pen to my head, I’ll sign his confession!

Banged up in this inspirational cell
“Not a poet” written on walls of limerick hell
“P.D waz here “ plastered for all to see
As soon as he reaches for his pen, you better turn and flee!!

(Welcome and embrace our new Poet friend
I’ll love and embrace him until the end
I trust he’ll visit my poems, and call them crap
That’s my plan, body armoured up, ........I’ll just have a nap.)

**Poetry Destroyer 

Only Kidding P.D. And welcome :-)

Obviously, i can't tell you what form this is!!

Premium Member It's An Oxymoronic World

I took my kids to the Country "Fair"
Where every price sure was not
Like five dollars for a cup of coke
Seven to ride the tea pot!

My young son fell off the pony ride
So drove off to "Urgent" Care
We spent so long in the waiting room
My mail was delivered there!

This morning went shopping at "Whole" Foods
For our weekly food need list
I couldn't buy a whole cart of food
Sure meat will never be missed.

Then I left to see my relatives
On the "Turn"pike in P-A
I missed my exit and you know what
You can't turn around, no way!!!

This sad oxymoronic nightmare
Happens more often than not
Go to Dollar Store with just a buck
Nothing will cost what you've got!
