Premium Member Diminishing Comps

They try many things to get you down
to this gambling Mecca of a seashore town.
In many directions, the management of these places will go.
It has all been carefully designed to get your dough.
Free meals, free drinks, free rooms, and more.
However, they are not as generous as they were before.
Those houses are now in a precarious situation.
Other gaming places are popping up across the nation.
You would think they’d be upping the ante with their offers.
However, they don’t easily open up their coffers.
Business will not be so glorious
if they continue becoming more parsimonious.

March field
       snow patched scars
       deer forage
       green stubble flirting
       the ground parsimonious
       its fast food scarcity

Deer raise their heads
       regard my presence, murky
Their eyes clear, deep, almond round
       shaking something in me
       solemnizing freedom

Nature's rated stature
       flecked streamlined beauty
       compact torsos
       triggered taunt launching

A thought that trophy room plundering
       could cut nimble hoofers
       complicated narrative
       the jagged edge of hunting

Deer holding my fixed attention
       that slips from boxed corners
       making space for reconsidering
       to forego what's crushing
       a blend to nomadic tramping
       competing urges

Rippled cues of wishing
       to know life in rhythmic movement
       to singe bits of living
       blurred escape
       like deer in hurdle leaps
       to flee,
       light flickering vanity
       that craves invisible spaces

Test Cricket's posthumous Lazarus


Natural talent Jimmy’s heir apparent melodious

Line & length strength swing seam harmonious

Taking over from dream team still parsimonious

But Olly could be a wally & yet seemed oblivious


Bit podgy not fit enough blips and cantankerous

Dodgy quips off the cuff guff just all a bit vacuous

Gruff flips energy dips pace slips hardly valorous 

Indolent & insolent temperament shamed odious

Thrown under a bus for Gus.. named cadaverous

Splendiferous famed career appears posthumous 


We were savaged biblical ravaged plague of OZ locus

No respite Ashes debacle fanfare did blare rancorous

Ridicule the losing & boozing puss oozing pustulous

Anger that was clanger not banger completely bogus

Riff raff suss boys were all faff & fuss and so do cuss

We see wheat from chaff all naff Bazball hocus pocus


No fight just sh*te is playing for England too onerous

To our health the blight of this plight was hazardous 

No focus Baz & Ben must choose real men the onus

ECB let them & Key get off scot free is very generous


Flowering again after long winter our towering crocus

To bring vertiginous rascal back not really scandalous

Not still languorous skill metronomic can be imperious

To harvest the county bounty for Test best ironic bonus


The big plus that Ollie actually does look like one of us

Which is why we fell for this fall guy & are still amorous

Learn did earn return for which we yearn not ludicrous

Annoint the sky high release point our humorous chorus

Astronomic wicket laden maiden from Cricket’s Lazarus

Eluding My Ressurection

Eluding My Ressurection

Eluding the proposition of more work to be done 
Prelude to the inquisition that is blocking out the sun 
I can only conclude that the ammunition was hard fought and won 
While the interlude for the intermission has only just begun

Statutory situations from behind a judges bench presiding 
Defamatory imitations that aren’t worth justifying 
Auditory insinuations that see a person testifying 
Crematory conflagrations that are somewhat death defying 

Intercontinental ballistic missiles heading for a major city 
Coincidental trajectories on the inside that are the opposite of pretty 
Environmental projectiles that leave humans loitering in complicity 
Developmental officials that stunt the growth of those without pity 

Acrimonious altercations that leave you shocked and stunned 
Parsimonious purification that has men reaching for their guns 
Disharmonious communications that make you feel inclined to run 
Sanctimonious salutations that remove the laughter from the fun 

Aberrations of contemplations that leave my thinking incomplete 
Abdications of compensations that keep you working on your feet 
Complications of innovations that seem to be headed for defeat 
Combinations of annotations that keep your words strong enough to compete 

Augmentation of technological conversations altered for their privilege and stature
Conflagrations of mythological consternations that have people waiting for the rapture 
Insinuations of psychological manifestations that make you feel like you are captured 
Constellations of astronomical configurations that engender awe and enrapture

I’m hoping that the tides will flow in favour of my direction 
While eloping from the slides that show my wanting predilection 
For downward sloping motions that grow upward in their redirection 
As they live while coping in the know of my resurrection

Limitations of Poetic License

According to the dictates of Suzy Berlinsky, 
a Hello Poetry sibilant chargé d'affaires 
female equivalent, sans Grand Poobah
aye surmise she deems my preference 

favoring lower case, especially taking 
a figurative page from thee poetic play
book of e.e. cummings, (not to be con-
fused with Elijah E. Cummings, thee 

American, and United States Democrat
representing Maryland's majority dark
skinned precinct of Baltimore County 
seventh congressional district), whose 

shadow of fame diminished, but flagrant
flapping flaunting Puritanical principles
tantamount to in traducing taboos up- 
ending ala revolutionary lampooning

his trademark imprimatur guilt frisson
faculty of his to delve into controversial
material blatantly candidly devotedly ex
pressing thoughts, sentiments, and re-

flexes skewed asper an irreverent teas-
zing exuberance flouting orthodox re-
finery by playfully making mince meat
of long cherished, fixed, and insulated

mores as shock treatment technique to 
exhibit parsimonious, opprobrious, and
noxious malice lobbing fondness for 
writing without heeding thy fondness
 
NOT CAPITALIZING the first person 
singular pronoun, i, an upside down
exclamation point, whose dot eye see
clearly despite the fierce maelstrom!


Premium Member weather report

a tempest gathers on my horizon
with limited purview and cloudy vision
encroaches quickly on my unsettled mind
my true soul and nature is threatened
by downpour rapids and torrential rain

blighted foreboding develops as 
the parsimonious option
a rainbow in doubtful reflection
so wished for is  yet so far away
half-conscious daydreaming becomes a nightmare
powerful stallions of gloom dominate the scene

the thundering deluge encroaches on my resolve
to see the light and illuminate my spirits
a level of discontent with the inevitable
penetrates determination and purpose
pierces the persona of happiness and freedom

my neurons are wet from tears sweat and the sky
which opened with such vigorous spectacle
that all kaleidoscopic lenses mist up with distortion
of reason emotions gratitude and serenity
therefore I have not the foggiest idea what to do

in prayer and meditation I appeal to good fortune
to let go of self-pity resentments and fear
remind myself that sunshine may soon reappear
put a wax-coat over my trouble and
wellingtons over my struggling feet
to anchor myself in itself and the Universe

Higher Powers grant me an impermanent reprieve
and yet the moment is just long enough
for a craving towards living and joy to imagine
that every cloud could be lined with silver and peace

Premium Member Outlaws

The best artists are outlaws
Vandalizing our sanctity,
Our sanctimonious freight trains,
Our parsimonious neglect.

The best artists are culprits
Chiseling our school desks,
Scraping our bathroom stalls,
Doodling our notebooks.

Graffiti spray paints the struggle,
Scribbling defaces the pretense,
Defilement arrests the complacent,
Disfigurement sullies the platitude.

Defacers embody the dialectic,
The opposition to conformity,
The betrayal of uniformity,
The rebellion against authority.

The best artists are pariahs,
Trashing our temples,
Tossing out our moneychangers,
Driving out our shysters.

Premium Member No Signs of Stopping

Here is another gullible fool in a bad situation.
There she was plunking away the money in this casino nation.
The player was hoping to hit it big with this machine.
However, it sadly concluded as an ugly scene.
She showed no signs of stopping.  She just carried on.
Before this woman knew it, her money was all gone.
How about comps?  How parsimonious could the house get?
With only a few bucks, the player is full of regret.
Can she buy a cup of coffee?  She does not have enough.
This turned out to be a night that was rough.
As any other loser, she gets in her car and departs.
However, she will return.  The habit continues after it starts.

Authenticated Addressed Partial Letter Circa 1970 Part Two

He ranked as de facto semiprecious,
tremulous and unanimous scapegoat
bullied by a bumptious, callous,
disputatious hippopotamus of a brat
infamous bruiser later in his life to become
forty fifth president of UnIted States.

Though documentation incomplete, the un
named subject referred within torn shred
recovered included signatory couching
ambiguous references to a tenebrous,
unscrupulous, and vicious wiseass initials.

Dee Tee quickly intuitively assessed
as one inhumane specimen, whose pugnacious,
pretentious, and pestiferous, persona characterized
impetuous, adulterous apprenticeship appetite
for erecting phallic skyscrapers.

This once pacific pilloried pupil, whose grown
son (myself), now recalls father's misty eyed
anecdotes dripping with acrimonious, curmudgeonly
grouchy, grizzly and crotchety old sorries,
viz refashioned abominable kamikaze
psychological sorties.

I can vividly recall (how painful unto his old age)
oft daddy's repeated quotidian taunts, whereby
that bad ass, acidulous, avaricious, contemptuous,
enormous, and grievous big boy trumpeting
bruiser exuded devious, heinous, libelous, and
parsimonious tightwad, though born into wealth.
