Tattered, torn, but sturdy

 you perm and prime you shun;
You polish up your own stone;
You talk trash and jive;
You shine of uncertainty;
While yet you continually promise me;
Heller Shelter relish tones;
Cut my landline telephone;
Imprison me where you say I...

Musetime
         by Odin Roark

You are stale
Frail
And pale

Go out
Find fresh sight
Listen for hidden sound
List all you smell beneath the bridge
That place where hopelessness abounds

Avoid disturbing their sleep
Beneath cardboard...

As I scour the internet,
I want to be in the know,
about what might happen
in the here and now,
so I look into the websites,
about what could take place,
if there was an EMP attack

A Good Clean Slam

Let us investigate the process!
HOW…..HOW…..shall we make
a MUD PIE……without getting dirty???

of double entendre, tongue in cheek malapropisms,
drape...

I let it slip away,
It did not have a chance
It was a struggle
That put up quite a dance

It was a beautiful morning,
All was fresh and new
And from the moment that I got up
I was out...

Childhood is meant to be loving and carefree,
sadly it’s not always the way it should be...


The mask of misery hiding the curse
Coming from violence and angry words
A tender heart that's been broken in two

She thinks she can and chugs along where vistas dip and swell;
A rush of steam, a puff of smoke, a whistle and a bell.
Gonna buy me a haircut and polish up my boots
When that pretty...

Tromping through the trenches of life
We have to emphatically make ourselves fall in love
Over and over and over and over and over again
For we begin to fall out of it if we do not make...

Beneath a bearded tree I sat
Expecting on a gaze,
When interview a headless hat
Came whiffling through the haze.

For laffs he wore a slight of grin,

Four feathers grew upon his chin.
His steptwin was...

Christmas without Mrs. Claus
That could never be
Who would feed dear Santa
And trim the Christmas tree

Who would tie the ribbons
And fasten all the bows
Who would help the elves
Hang their stockings all in rows

Who would do the...

As this year is nearly eschew
Looking foward, I can do
Thoughts of failure are taboo
for there is nothing I can’t do
Sailing ahead with grit
to meet the New Year

pushed to the rear
Let them disappear
Merely, a...
