And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings?  Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?
No...

And the others are conceived in my mind like a flash

Or host you whole to my being 
Only then 
Only then would you fathom the wreckage

Or come watch me redeem...

Premium Member Cindi
Cindi! Cindi!
Wipe your tears, Cindi!
You’ve been given no rights.
Somewhere life made a wrong turn.
Your heart is made of glass.
Your reputation shattered,

But that's too much to be

Working Herd
My pride is not of presidents
their monuments or halls,
I’m proud of the nation’s people
the working class with balls.

Owned forever by the bank
with interest rates so cruel,
looking in the showrooms
at things that make them drool.

Clothes are...

Premium Member Sheep With Attitude
Sheep with attitude did the cha cha cha

These two  arrogant ninnies take themselves too seriously
Their faces are always staid and staunch, I said deliriously.

It's odd that I just noticed
It is the thirteenth day of May
The day is also Friday
It's unlucky some may say

Watch out for all the black cats
And those ladders off ...
