Word Hoard

They say if you don’t use a thing for a year
It’s time to get rid of it, just to be clear
Feel free to sell it or give it away
But to get clutter free, just don’t let it stay

So, I checked my garage for stuff I could lose--
and found hundreds of words I simply don’t use!

Lilliputian and Sprightly stood on a shelf
Elbow-to-elbow with some wry little elf
Bucolic and Bumpkin were squirreled away
Beneath a big bale of bright yellow hay 

Garish and Gaudy were in a glittery box
with Trinkets and Baubles set with fake rocks
Surreptitious and Unobtrusive tried to avoid being seen
But I caught 'em sneaking off with Clandestine

Beyond these loose words, which filled many a bin 
Lay whole turns of phrase like Much to My Chagrin
I held up to the light a Gossamer Veil
Then dumped it in a Perfidious Betrayal

An Ethereal Cloud, glued to the ceiling
I scraped off with an Ambivalent Feeling
I rolled back the rug to see what I'd missed,
There before me stretched a Yawning Abyss

Into a huge crate, these big words I did toss
Bobbing on top were Flotsam, Jetsam and Dross
Fatigued by these labors, I took a short break
But that little respite may have been my mistake

Soon I was deep in most Pensive Reflection
On how Assiduously I had built this collection
In crept Myriad Doubts about so brash a move
What if I meet some Cad I need to Reprove?

What if some Craven Cur should Incur my Wrath
But words fail me due to this Ill-Chosen Path?
Well, soon that old crate was quite empty once more
And cluttered again were bin, shelf, drawer and floor

But one thing has changed, this is Palpably Clear
My Leviathan Word Horde I now Deeply Revere
Intrepid and Dauntless, I sling without fear
Iota and Mote.. I dust off once a year!

Pesky Poppycock Payback Please Prepare

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied
piper pitifully peppy pornographic potato pealing,

parsimonious paradoxical protagonist, proposing
preposterous panicky pacification plots, prioritization
pertinent penultimate peroration, perhaps perceiving
perjuring, perplexing, perverting puzzling pronouncements

projecting pulsating pixelated pulpy pinball pinging
packets prompting pacific, poetic, phlegmatic purplish
psoriasis plagued, plumbum pallor pallid, Paleolithic
protuberance pronounced, psychosomatic prohibitionist,

polarizing perfunctory peculiarly progressive, patriotic
postmodern pathologically proud paternal panache,
peripatetic panaceas portraying prescient perfidious
puerile president, predominantly proposing parochial

principles, plenty public parking, purposefully
promoting pharisee phalanxes, pilates practicing
paragons, perennially peaceably proficient protesters,
profitable polygamy, pugnacious pitbull powerball

players, pandering polyandry, propagating professional
palindrome pensive peeping people, peddling,
proselytizing predicating prostitution, proliferating
phenomenally, populist persona promulgated peyote

phased physicians pioneering prescription promoting
paradisiacal pricey photographic pictures, placating
phrenetic physical perturbation partaking place
purchased (paid paltry pennies) por palatial piazza.

Betrayal

Great were the old times
When we first met eye in eye
Green was the grass everywhere
Sorrows we had not in our minds
For memorial stories we shared
Our hearts beat with entire joy

Now as dreams have evaporated
Life has become acrimonious
Worries have grown in our hearts
Great has been the created distance
Between us yet we are close
Sleepless nights we spend

Nobody knows but siblings think
Our bond is mounting naturally
Yet love is virtual as lies hamper
Now broken are these weak hearts
That no more beat for each other
And so both our feet are wobbling

I feel hugely let down for
Surprisingly that gipsy guy
Has stolen your striking sight
By creating perfidious smiles in you
And his unwise sweet words
That make you feel mine bitter

It is hard to digest that disloyalty
Making me lose my only paradise
My land with a limpid well between
That used to quench my arid thirst
Evaporate the cold in me
To keep my body and soul healthy

Although you no more hug me
But let me die of cold dreams
Fainting to kill your emotions for
Unrealistic promised untrue worlds
I am certain when the day wakes up
The sun will shine for true love to revive

Musk is a Farley's Rusk

Demagogue not pedagogue

Aghast & agog

Perfidious insidious fog

Reeks of the past

Slog through the smog

Musk seeks to flog

Earth & its serfs

Downed & drowned

In his dystopian bog

Even starry nights

Elon’s neon satellites

Seedier media perch

Utter nutter besmirch

Thriving in the gutter

Conniving depriving church

Vex "X" & Tech T-Rex hex

Or next bogus Rogan

Bogan slogans prevails

Alpha male tales derails

Sod the planet’s scars

Cruise trips to Mars

Odd bod driverless cars

Spawn a fake Tarantino 

Remake.."Musk till Dawn"

Devil may care lair..

Loads of lies..skies chock a block 

With spies...all eyes on the prize

Everyone Everything Everywhere dies

Let's not parley with gnarly snarly

Musk...takes the mickey & the bicky

In the dock for running amok

Time guys he did finally own up

To being as grown up..

As a Farley’s Rusk (a British biscuit/bicky for a wee kiddy)

Premium Member Defining Moment

they say forgive and forget

remember and hold to account

seems to be frowned upon

and memorable events take a while

to manifest digest and process 

narratives change with the core

at every reason and heart


‘everything is wrong and it is all your fault

what exactly you will have to find out yourself

I will put our relationship into a drawer

and possibly open it again once you …’

have changed to her wishes?

relinquished any meaningful part in the drama?

conceded to her perfidious pantomime?

are totally broken?


‘you claimed that one cannot talk to a depressed one

but were you not projecting your discontent?’


years on the metaphorical couch

like a spider in a cobweb of distrust

attempting to just pull one string

breaking at rock bottom

with someone else throwing rocks

from a fortress of a glass house

accusations lies silence pretense of innocence 

and turning children against him

he walked a difficult path

many a time running on empty


but eventually it turned out to be

the best thing that could happen

and he found new love

made peace with his offspring

invested in kindness and compassion

now lives with his lover and soulmate


chapters however can only be closed

when the epilogue has been written

when the spine of the book

stands upright in truth


for years he maintained that she

could not have done any better

did not cope with her own crisis

and he absolved her from further critique


the protagonist eventually found his voice

He has become I and I lay to rest

my memories of that evil malignant

and greedy  you chose to become

it was you who tore me apart

and watched with satisfaction

when I became vulnerable and depressed

discredit where discredit is you


it is not about settling score

or spread sheets of retribution

simple honesty will do and

I don’t have to be nice

because poems understand

and refrain from judging the writer


but deep in my soul I do not care

that you have turned lonely and bitter

because while I am privy to 

exquisite satisfied pleasure

you made your bed 

and that is empty for a reason

trying to hack out my eyes and essence

made me spread my wings joyfully

and you are an old haggard crow

merely feeding on crumbs

Storm Inside the Brain

She was beautiful like the rainbow. 
Her fragrant smiling words of luminance. .
Unleashed adrenaline into his mind..
with tactile thoughts of proximal paradise.
His five senses collaborated a screenplay. ..
with billions of brilliant tangled neurons.
He imagined... .the fantasy of being in love.

But deep in the sky of his heart..
Gathered dark chasing clouds.
Storms of rain, snow, sand, fire..
swirled up the grey matter. 
The trident crooned,... "Probably","Possibly", "Surely"..

Temperature rises to drop the pressure..
A storm breaks inside the brain.
The folds and crease immerse in chaotic squall. 
Pulverises the pernicious clouds. 
Thunderstorms rumble loud.
Sparks of lightning flicker. 

Perfidious friction is now visible. 
Resonance of sight and sound.
In ledger of brain transactions drowned. 
A sullen algebra of equations..
with iterations of sixth sense
convolute a restless nexus of unknown variables. 

With fearless freedom, the brain breaks and shakes..
A hurricane of frustration. .
A tornado of desperation. .

Yes..He endured the disruptive baritone storm.
It crashed him hard..
He muttered, " It's just a passing crush ".

A thick blanket wraps and obscures the windows of his eyes.
The impending rain peacefully waits for the sun..
for the beautiful rainbow of true love

Hidden Agenda

HIDDEN AGENDA:

It's on record,
Stripping naked in a rainfall. 
A prelim lost of freedom, 
Heddled by a downfall,
Highlighted with boredom.
The journey is so wrong, 
And the prelim wants to hold on.
His soul is crying 'oh Lord'.
Time to time feeling appalled.
The challenge seems so tough.
He wish his life is prolonged, 
So he don't demise too young.
The mind is guilty at a cost, 
Yes, the prelim is terribly at fault.
But the time is gradually passing out,
And still can't breakout,.
Pressurised by pals,
For him to join their camp,
Indeed he joined them at last.
Later he's realised it's bad,
After the wealth he has amassed, 
Can't satisfy his life.

Sacrificed the one he loved,
Only to succeed easily and fast.
Now that the deal is done,
He don't feel so fine. 
Surrounded by numerous restrictions,
Gradually getting him diminished. 
Always saying he's been foolish.
Figuring out he will soon perish.
Non of his family benefits from his wealth,
As the family's state is not well.
No one understands that tale .
It's a secret that has failed,
Tagged with a notion,
Described as the paramount conclusion. 
Surrounded by his cohorts,
Who are also in the same pot.
Hooks up loose ladies,
Uses and troubles them.
Plans carnally to chill at unqualified columns.
Gestures he shows, he ahem,
Anytime questioned about his solemn.
Since he showcases a stealth.

He acts strange,I can tell.
Even his own people,he can't gel.
And their insinuations about him can't be dispelled.
Never doubting words regarding his spell.
This perfidious act proves who he is,
Someone fastened to mortal sin.
Lost from good morals, backslidden.
He didn't get it forbidden. 
Buried in devil's riches, 
Fifty-fifty sooner die or go mad,
Traded a good soul for vanity, so sad.
Drastic move,Damning not a canard.
A reality to pick a lesson,administered.

Hiding From Existence

How easy it is not to be sought or seen,
hiding from existence,
missing its eloquence...
when feelings resurge
to question the misery of what has been. 

Why does one choose 
moods of loneliness
and turn into a lurking shadow,
then rest under a solitary willow?
Why be the friend of solitude,
instead of sunshine on spring days?

That's what made me hide, 
not living fully and loving happily;
avoiding sunlight, awaiting darkness
and fall asleep on a cold pillow
to emit sighs of painful sorrow.
Did I ever think how beautiful it was
to hold hands and smile while 
moonbeams inspired fantasy?   
No, I hid from the beautiful moon of midnight
denying myself the sweetness of gentle words
spoken by lips that had the sincerity of a true heart;
how I regret the unwillingness to share those hugs! 

Be warned that hiding from existence
is another form of perfidious pretense:
to go unnoticed and not being loved;
are you willing to pay the same price,
or choose to love like the ones who failed twice?
Learn from them and share their joyful world!

Premium Member Perfidious Love

Summertime remembered 'twas when we met
By banks of Avon where water runs deep
Burnt into my heart how could I forget
So now your indifference makes me weep.

You ignore me while you flaunt new passion
Why am I discarded so ruthlessly?
False love, you pledged you heartless assassin
I now plead guilty to credulity.

My eyes are dry all my tears have been shed
Was lost for a while but now I am strong
Heart wound not mortal nonetheless I bled
perfidious lover silenced love's song

So, spinster for life is what I will be
No handsome gallant on his bended knee.




This is a very basic sonnet. 10 syllables per line, rhyming scheme 3 stanzas and couplet ending. Iambic Pentameter eludes me at the moment.

The Debate

“Devoid of decorum and dignity”
Is one of the quotes that I heard.
To know it relates to the POTUS debates
Is as awful as it is absurd.

On one side, a bully whose bluster
Would get him suspended from school;
With no self-control and a hole in his soul,
He’s a pompous, perfidious fool.

On the other side, he who’d replace him
Wants to pacify, help and unite
Yet in making his case, what instead he must face
Is a nasty below-the-belt fight.

In the middle, befuddled and helpless,
Is the person who should be in charge
But when things go off-track, he can’t stop the attack,
Like a substitute teacher writ large.

We watch, feeling sick and despondent,
In shock at how low we have sunk
And that outrage and shame, for which we have no name,
Lingers on in a nightmarish funk.
