Premium Member Wait For Me Darling

You know I am in the ether, darling 
You feel my presence, though we have not met
Do not settle for anyone less, wait for me.
I promise I will be worth the wait.

I feel you in the garden, tending your marigolds.
I see you in snapping fresh peas in my mind’s eye
We are worth the wait; do not settle, please.
Who am I to you? I am your future, and you are mine.

I come alone, with my hands open, my arms widespread.
I plead you wait for me. You will know when I arrive.
Do not settle. Do not be in a rush. We are meant to be.
I can see us cuddling and bundling, warming each other in winter.

I ask only one thing. Wait for me. I come alone. With open heart.
I am not there yet, but you sense me. You know I am close.
Please do not rush. Follow your soul, wait for me.
I am close, and I come alone.


Premium Member The Twelve Puns of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas
Take Advent age of Xmas countdown

On the second day of Christmas
Holly was a thorn in the side

On the third day of Christmas
Ivy was a real creep

On the fourth day of Christmas
They got a frosty reception

On the fifth day of Christmas
Three wise men proclaimed it was crackers

On the sixth day of Christmas
Who is Mary Christmas? Why Carol’s cousin of course

On the seventh day of Christmas
Yule be getting excited – it’s Claus and effect

On the eighth day of Christmas
All presents present but bah humbugs in Christmas stockings

On the ninth day of Christmas
You snow it won’t reindeer on Christmas day

On the tenth day of Christmas
Time for silent night so sleigh bells

On the eleventh day of Christmas
Coffee-loving Prancer and Dancer are Santa’s Starbucks

On the twelfth day of Christmas
Let’s eat cold turkey and peas on earth
Ho Ho Ho!

Spice and Vegetables Feast

AZAFRAN  dances tango well
           SPANISH IN ARGENTINA.
           Divinely harmonized
           in the vinaigrette, onion, pepper
           and tomato ... it's the joyful sound
           of the barbecue music ...
           In phenomenal pas de deux
           the carrot  and rice ...
           When alone, the tomato is whole
           BLUSH in FLASH ...
           Peas drummed on the plate
           waiting for the skewer of
           strange dance of forks ...
           Potatoes are made COCKTAILS
            when from POMME DE TERRE
            are announced ...
            It's gastronomic festival on the tables
             and in salads ... or in the Chinese pagoda
             of "barges"
             Festive dance of dancing vegetables
             at its own party ...!

Someone To Hold 4

I almost lost my balance,
But you rescued me before I fell flat down on the floor
We, in unison, dance
You are the harmony of my symphony...your empathy is what I adore
You are someone I was looking for,
That awesome open door of endless opportunities and more  
I'm alright without sleep at night
But you worry that I won't make it 
But it's all black and white, darling angel 
Your encouragement and you're looking-after-me motive turns me on...now, it rings a familiar bell
I must tell you, you are a heaven, not much of a hell
You are the rare gem that I will never in my dreams sell
You tell me I sing better than Adam Levine and Adele...
Put together...
You are like no other 
My future is clear to me now, it ain't no blur and I'm no longer unsure
What lies ahead is meant to be
I bet it's gonna work out with you and me 
You and I I meant to say
I don't care about grammar, but whatever...I'm so cra-cra 
Odds are that you and I are two peas in a pod
Evens are that we are pleasing to the sight of God

I can't imagine a day without you and every time I think about your absence, I cry myself to sleep and I fear that I'll lose my glow
As Selena Gomez says in her lyrics, the heart wants what it wants...yep, I guess I coveted you a bit
I'm fired up by overwhelming vibes when I am right next to you...it's my fault for letting you go with woe in my heart and my anxieties swing me to and fro
I don't want to waste away your time like I think I do...I expressed my deepest regrets and secrets to you, so DON'T tell a soul or I'll have damage done to me in the darksome pit 

I write this poem to you obvious
I hope I don't seem oblivious 
I want to hold you and you to hold me back 
The aftershocks of being under pressure made me avoid everyone...I'm sorry I am foolish and thoughtless, left to be that lone magazine in the rack 

I hold onto these hardships and feelings on my back in a sack
It's like unpaid debt and homework in a stack 
I need to get back on track

 I need to strengthen all the weakness,
But I need help to make further progress 
Hold up, I missed what you just said
Say that again? Am I alive or dead?

Premium Member Seaside outing

In the summertime if the weather is fine,
Families let the train take the strain
To make their own sunshine.
Set for the coast and the Ocean Beach funfair 
Chasing dreams, memories to be made there.
Two hundred minutes by train will feel slow,
“Pick up the pace - come on - let's go!”
A family day at a seaside town,
like a carousel ride, will go up and down…

Lots of smells and lots of noise,
Teenage girls and lynxed-up boys.
Boys bare-chested, girls in crop-tops,
Dad’s in sliders, mum’s in flip-flops,
Neon shorts and denim mini-skirts,
Uncle Barry's after-shaved midlife flirts.
Nan’s sitting out, “I'm minding the bags”,
Glittery vape has replaced her flags.

Waltzers spinning, ghost ride screams,
Long queues at the van selling ice creams.
Raspberry sauce like strawberry laces,
Ice pops melting, sticky faces.
Red sugar dummies and bubble gum slushi,
Fish chips and peas - the type that's mushy.
Kamikaze wasps that helter-skelter
Sue’s on karaoke singing out a belter.

The chlorinated aqua of the outdoor pool,
Sheena’s tankini-ed, hoping for a new fool.
Slippery slide is well splashtastic,
Dolphin bins in bright blue plastic.
The triumphant arrival of the unicorn inflatable!
Dad’s in charge as children scramble,
Splashing eyes in sibling combat,
“We agreed as a family - no one likes that!”
Getting changed after, gets out of hand,
Loss of a sports sock, knickers in the sand.

All too soon, it's time to head home,
“-but I've got a token left”, one child moans.
A helium balloon that floats away
Triggers tired toddler tears
Of a vanillary day.


Premium Member Ms Contrary's Soup Garden

Round and round writing prose,...
she will stop, who knows where
helping him, helping her, helping all of us grow ..
Debbie's poetry hoe has been sharpened by time 
She tills the Soup garden, with verses and rhyme..
Planting a rose, where the verse needed flow
Her crops flourish ripe, with a talented verse
and takes out a moment, to help you, of course
...
I wouldn't label her poems, as sweet as a pea...
She doesn't shy away from tidbits of some controversy
If you've read D. G's poems
You'll see they don't fall flat....
She is gifted with excellence....and that is that!!

Her poems aren't too mushy....they are filled with the meat
Of wit, and thought....not meager sprouts
Some need to be read again and again
To quite understand what she's all about
Like peas in a row, they will weather the rain
There are Imps in her garden, who like to munch
They turn over the leaves, page by page
I have a hunch...she's an Imp herself...
She is never content...to sit on a shelf
With those contests quite clever...to help us write better, 
We will grow our own....from the seeds she has sown...
As we reap from the harvest....it is easy to see
Adding peas to the pot....adds some spice to the plot
Being contrary......our Ms. D.G. stirs the Soup family !!

Premium Member Bytes Out of the Old Apple

My youngest son is forty-six years old

A chip off the old block as they say

I take full responsibility for this young fellow

Scott is his name, silliness is his game

Proud as punch of that boy

'Why grow up' has always been my motto

He has certainly accepted it as his as well

Like two peas in a pod we are

Poor dear wife Cathie

She is tested daily by us two extreme characters

She deserved some kind of an award, a medal

For endurance under extreme comedic conditions

The word 'serious' does not exist in our vocabulary

Life is one big hoot

And why not... the alternative sucks

Did I say I'm proud as punch of this fellow

A successful computer guru

Heading up the Creative Services Department

For a large company servicing the pharmaceutical industry 

Did I say I'm proud as punch of this fellow

I'm repeating myself aren't I

He's the apple of my eye

Ironically, we are both Apple Computer geeks!

We're both bytes out of the old Apple

Pete and Paul

We look both the same how could this be
Two peas in a pod that's you and me
When we were babies we both dressed the same
The only thing different I suppose was our name.

I was called Pete and you was called Paul
Time went so fast we grew very tall
We're much older now but still look the same
Two peas in a pod with a different name.

I remember one day when Paul was at school
He did something wrong he broke the school rule
The next day came but Pete got the blame
Two peas in a pod they both look the same.

Paul had a girlfriend she was so very nice
But when she saw Pete she had to look twice
She said Pete are you Paul, he thought and said yes
She gave him a kiss so he had to confess.

I'm sorry Pete said I think your confused
I'm not really Paul, she wasn't amused
You're like two peas in a pod you both look the same
Who am I dating I'm going insane.

Premium Member Flash Mod With Black-Eyed Peas

Black-eye peas
Name for a group
Not some kind of luncheon soup
Had hit go to the top

The name of it is
"I Got A Feeling" stop
Oprah had them on today
For an audience of 20,000

Off the stage
Hired 20 professional
Dancers , see ,who trained
800 more to dance for free

They preformed a routine
Called A flash mod
Largest group in history
To do such a task

This sight made my day
Really usually don't care
For this very much but
This revered my motor up

(Oprah Winfrey's opening today featured this group on stage outdoors in Chicago.  They led 
20,000 people in a dance routine which I don't know what it was called or if it had a name 
but what happened is called a Flash Mod, if I understood correctly. It was uplifting.)
