Premium Member I Miss Billy the Kid

I feel and hear these old bones creak
every time I pull myself out of my seat.
It seems my youth was just here yesterday
and now suddenly it's so far away.
I miss Billy the kid.
The times that he had. The life that he lived.
I guess he must have gotten himself caught
when his innocence got lost.
I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the kid.
I used to take a walk in my neighborhood
and all would say "Here comes young Billy and he's up to no good".
I'd always find one to be the butt of my jokes.
I pulled many a prank on many an unsuspecting folk.
I miss Billy the kid.
The times that he had. The life that he lived.
I guess he must have gotten himself caught
when his innocence got lost.
I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the kid.
His life was always so joyful and bliss.
I remember how in awe he was when he received his first kiss.
He approached everyday with everyone
with an attitude of having all day care free fun.
I miss Billy the kid.
The times that he had. The life that he lived.
I guess he must have gotten himself caught
when his innocence got lost.
I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the kid.
The past chapters of my life are now distant memories
of a youth now long gone when living life was care free.
In the hereafter I hope that my youth will be relived
because I truly do miss Billy the kid.
Yes, I miss Billy the kid.
The times that he had. The life that he lived.
I guess he must have gotten himself caught
when his innocence got lost.
I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the kid.

Premium Member A Mere College Prank

It started as a joke, a mere college prank,
the fraternity house having a good time;
far too much alcohol the pledges drank.
With all the young men being in their prime,
no one considered the likelihood of crime.

Around midnight they were having great fun
laughing and shouting without any cares;
with more liquor to drink they were not done.
The night was jubilant; they were putting on airs
‘til one drunken pledge slipped and fell down the stairs.

After smashing his head on the stoop below,
he lay motionless on the cold, hard ground;
his life was ended by the vicious blow.
They looked in disbelief as they gathered ‘round;
they stood there in shock without making a sound.

They waited awhile before making the call
to make sure they all had the story straight
so no one would be made to take the fall.
They said he was in his room, drinking late;
went out for a snack, slipped, and met his fate.

Their story was tight but cameras don’t lie;
it was there on the tape for all to see;
the videos shot down their alibi.
They went before the judge and bargained a plea;
got ten year’s probation but allowed to stay free.

But the family of the pledge who met his demise
feels justice wasn’t served and it’s not fair
to be left without answers and tears in their eyes.
They must live their life with their sadness to bear
while the brothers go free without any care.

Premium Member A Run In the Rain

walking home, moods surly as the sky
why, I don’t remember
then we were caught in a sudden shower
not cats and dogs
but more than a drizzle
a middling rain

places where we could have taken shelter
but we kept walking
angry at the day, at each other

then it came down harder
we broke into a trot 
cursing the sick weather
most expletives censored by the raindrops’ clatter

plowing ahead, but not moving as fast as we could have 
through the blur of perpendicular water

by the time we ducked 
into our apartment building, we were 
a fluid mess of sodden clothes and plastered hair
raining on the lobby floor

and laughing like stupid teenagers 
who had just pulled off a high school prank

and the wet 
had seeped into my memory

No Scary Clowns Allowed

There have been many sightings
of scary clowns stalking kids
even in broad daylight;
who are these psychopaths 
causing panic in every town?

They could be your neighbors
or strangers from miles away;
they even call your home
to make a prank call to scare you...
Halloween won't be fun anymore!  

Be safe kids, stay home this year, 
don't go around for trick or treat...
these scary clowns are really bad
and may harm you and frighten you;
if they ring your doorbell, don't answer!

Why a scary clown is not that one
found in a circus who does tricks
and makes you laugh until tears flow?
Times have changed, innocence 
has been lost...danger is real;
scary clowns have bad intentions!

Stay inside and enjoy your Halloween Night,
if a stranger dressed as a clown
rings your bell, call your mom;
tell her to put a banner on the entrance door:
" No scary clowns allowed! "

Premium Member April Fooling Around

April Fools is on the new horizon 
When the next time the sun rises 
There will be innocent fibbing and lying 
Is it a prank, a joke? 
Or just a forum for one to stand up to insult? 
It is a whole day dedicated to giving 
Laughter an opportunity to make a better living 
Hopefully the day will be relaxed 
And nobody will face the issue of being sacked 
Beware of the pen 
With the exploding ink it could send 
Then there could be an alluring call 
That rings inside the working stall 
Look at things closer 
Especially if the reading is off the informative poster 
All in all a good little spook 
Could end up as a romantic hook 
And as time carries on 
From the flirty spring fling con 
He could walk down the aisle to say ‘I do’ 
Allowing her to reply, “April Fools on you”

The Jacket

It still hangs there,
		     there on the back of my door.

“Wa d’y lev ut thur?” I can hear you say 
in that Chatterley-esque accent of yours,
rippling through me.

“It’s so I can smell you” 
I’d reply if I could:
a waft and scent of your neck,
hair… whenever I’d leave the
room. When I’d enter it. 
If I just pass by.

I’d tell you that, at night, my arms
loosen their flesh and peel on the cotton,
a needle sews blood afresh into my seams.
At night, the zipper puts my chest back
together and holds my knocking heart in 
place…. my ribcage ivory buttons, poached.
My beard grows longer to the left, matching the 
lopsided drawstring I pulled in a prank. At night, 
the frayed knitting weaves its way into my arm hair.
The smattering of chest hair that made you laugh is now 
indistinguishable from where a sewing machine once clamped 
shut. At night my fingers become the tips of each sleeve – just out 
of reach of your hand 
       
  but forever trying.

“It still hangs there” I’d tell you, if I could,
					     “there on the back of our door.”

It hangs there, it hangs there
	          		        still

In Autumn

In Autumn

In Autumn pumpkins hang out in 
hedge mazes, corn visits wreathes in
Finland, spices go to 
music festivals, photos of 
chestnuts do 
the splits, marsh mellows make 
prank calls, haunted houses tailgate 
tourist buses and 
fire trucks and 
ambulances, porcupines stop 
thinking, umbrellas talk 
24/7, squirrels read 
encyclopaedias, jam people pretend 
to be dead, candle people pretend 
to be deaf, scarves wear 
boots, maple syrup gurgle 
nursery rhymes, hens learn to 
play the 
banjo, chickens lay 
cell phones, cherries chase after 
bunnies, cupcakes plant 
trees, wallets take out 
the garbage, and
mittens dip themselves in 
cream cheese.

Covid-19; Hunger-20

Covid-19; Hunger-20 (A duet)

Wems Henry Temmy

If money can turn the wise fool
What will agony be to bones that suffer calcium? 
If death is a pleasure to watch a game on stool 
What shall bring fear to the heart dwelling in crematorium? 
It is true "money is the root of every evil" 

Faith Anthony

If lives can be bought at the market of greed, 
Of what use is the force driving the conscience ?
Humanity has long been lost in a vain pursuit of Power 
The protests against all the evil and violation of our soul
Sits inside of us,  waiting to tell the truth

Wems Henry Temmy

Plague beautifies the world in deceit
Humans' petals flowered its garden 
Many falling petals are mistreat 
Received  enough support but garden isn't pardon 
All to the honor of your pleasure, we forfeited 

Faith Anthony

Deception permeates the entire region in a steady order 
It is now a clash of Money and Power 
And being subdued in fear,  She(Africa)  had to bow 
Pledging allegiance and made to Cower 
A soul sold out,  defenseless without a 'why'
And silence becomes her only hope

Wems Henry Temmy

Gardners have an awesome merry go round
To watch out others in disguised anticipation 
Whereas, their harvest bloom and abound 
To the mess of Hunger-20 promotion 
A scope of care "stay home" is well propounded   

Faith Anthony

An enemy has surely done this! 
The gardener suddenly cried 
An enemy has sowed tares in the garden
Stay at home is the new Creed
Keep social distance or risk going six feet Below

Wems Henry Temmy

It isn't a prank to joke with for all reasons to insanity 
Though it seems they had make workers go days starving denizens 
Keeping a lot of grains in store for themselves and their cousins 
While this is a threat to humanity 
They claim to still cherish the welfare of the citizens

Premium Member Day In The Life Of A Donkey Part Three

The town which oozed the plain and lacklustre held them in a judo grip but by the same token itself seemed to become slyly going into step by step morph contraction.
“Donkeys are symbolic to a vast extent.
They exude such, indeed much ken.
Are they guffawing at us?
But just as you and I had our first encounter as children when on a short trip with our parents.
It was one of the few  forms of entertainment available in this mystery shroud of a spot.
Where disposable income might be too easily disposed of.”
Both Nigella and Nigel found that ever since they met  whilst nourishing the donkey, this donkey, its Mise en scene, its portentous presence had this uncanny knack of pursuit of both of them.
The strangest coincidences.
Idioms, expressions, the way people interacted, the synonyms for donkey in this town created a situation where the word donkey and a donkey’s environs, and other creatures in the habitat had this hypnotising invisible secretive yet insidious skulk.   
“Have you even sensed, Nigella,a disconcerting shift and shunt  this isolated district, the size, there has been a slow exit to boot. On boot.
Does it have its own booty?
We both smirk at that one.
Even as we interact  there is this intended or unintended prank simmering….somewhere. 
As if we might be shoehorned into a loosely scheduled drama.”
Nigel and nigella  often mused and bandied about  words  asinine and their variants.
But  devoid of concrete proposal or narrative  life pulse  in this strangeville of a town that was now a drift sand  physically and in terms of folks who no longer existed resembled an abstruse puzzle when it shouldn't
