Premium Member We Learn From Trial and Error

Fixing our own mistakes can be quite a vexatious trial
Laughing at our errors often brings us a humorous smile
Asking others for assistance is not a sign of weakness
What it shows is a humble nature known as meekness

Because of our human imperfection we get things wrong
That doesn't mean our resolve and patience is not strong
Seek to find the solutions you may have known all along
It just takes some trial and error to go that extra furlong

Procrastination is not the answer, for it will only prolong
finding explanations for problems that gather in a throng
Get to it! It's as simple as stabbing meat on a fork prong
You will be elated with your life and singing a new song

Don't digress. Be determined to dissuade dense denial
Upon a first reflection, no human achieves perfection
Even following direction, we still need some correction
Fixing our own mistakes can be quite a vexatious trial

Forbode of Wilderness

Deposited, held in Amazon's Adonis arms
    Hidden inhospitably stashed, kite shadow 
    Curled furtive, stairway stupefied windshield
    Hallucinations lag languished in amusement


    Monkeys freeze, screech scamper scratch 
    Egg smooth roof unscathed cubby abode
    Jagged gaps hang fur curtain climbing mates
    Swung carefree in cramped homecamp humid 

    
    Aghast lopped log rest exhales raggedly 
    Snapped propeller askew salutes defeat 
    Wing bent lungs transform fortitude into fuel
    Crushed accordion bodied anaconda swivels


    Lock jaw latch tight to jungle gym frame 
    Liquid flow flanks scale, giant slug glued
    Fork tongue tastes rain drip following day hope
    Fangs prong Coconas sour tomato gold codicil

  
    Cluster juice burst berries, bittersweet bulbs
    Knobs of Contreu twisted tangerine vitamin
    Fibre feeds faith indispensible, thin torsos entwined
    Fight against forbode of abandonment, exhausted 




                  Anonymous Minor Survivors

Blizzard Bitter

Ache in soul, O prophet?
The world is horrid hell.
Tracheotomy Tophet!
Suffering a-swell!

Gale, crash with titanic force!
Roil the ocean bad.
Ship that I'm in, blow off course...
That will lurk, O lad...

Horror, thou art with us.
Volcano, just explode.
Mayhem, madness, ornery cuss.
Bitterness, fate, ode...

Cry of a dying warrior?
He must have got hit square.
Poisonous and on the pour!
Blessings, be thou bare.

Grim and grateful, hoary, high.
Machine on the move.
Doom and Death, deliver! I?
What have I to prove?

Clash of giant armies?
O warlocks, bombs away!
Never mind the charm! Cheese?
Just dessicate and flay...

Pray, O poets, not too long.
Come on not too strong.
Best to stay where you belong.
Potentate, thy prong.

Song of banshee, sirens, wail.
Never end, O tale.
Hollow, are you, garbage pail?
Blizzards contain hail...

Premium Member From Slashed Paper To Melancholic Smell

Issued paper fibers mirror those of the straw bale,
The waters of the great canal through the morning sail.

In spite Venezia was tied, the chairlift was jostling,
Twisting its way through the small calli in haze whiting. 

It's safe to say man has a qualm, despite his skin tone,
The Earth spins around, put your location out of zone.

Informal suburbs have been overrun by strange walls,
The laws of the rulers, custom breeds devotion calls.

It's amazing how people fall for lowering strife,
Then residents achieve bad habits and lose their life. 

Identity loss roots our quiet closed eyes, curdle,
Teams were the source of hatred for every step hurdle.

Its clogged and stuffed bowel burst, the young boy died of filth,
They stole his liver, kidneys, and heart, killing his health.

Idle boy's heart beats in a guest's chest; mom's tear-soaked veil,
The boy is dead or lives couched in flesh tombs as was frail.

Its tearful child asks his dad, "where does sorrow stem from?"
The sorrow you get is the kid of joy, if not some.

It's not just the sun's rays that draw forth the elixir,
The Oceans create clouds and those clouds from storms austere.

Isn't the fragrance that lures butterflies, but the same scent,
The flower that would a lover pick for his content?  

It's not the light shining on your flesh in the mirror,
The light chases the reverse side's shadow to shiver.

It's when you're glad, know that it cost others happiness,
That you're enthralled recall it's someone else's sadness.

Individualism fails in vain, that's a grouse word,
This may never know how your fault brings oddly well-augured.

It opens endless doors to be tough, profound, and strong,
Though no book or teacher can teach you a complete prong.

Premium Member Helena Thinking About the Skies-

Helena's Torment - The Villanelle Of Skies

Helena couldn't stop thinking about skies
They were just so strong and long
But she could never forget the rise.

That morning, Helena was shocked by the device.
She found herself feeling rather headstrong.
Helena couldn't stop thinking about the skies.

Why?

Later, Helena was spooked by an arise
She tried to focus on a crowd
But she could never forget the rise.

flies

Gabriel tried to distract her with an enterprise.
Said it was time to start thinking about a pong
Helena couldn't stop thinking about the skies.

Why?

Helena took action as an advise
Skies were like a toxic prong
But she could never forget the rise.

Helena demise was otherwise
Her mind became dangerously wrong
Helena  couldn't stop thinking about skies
But she could never forget the rise.

Premium Member Bloody Men

The blade penetrated the flesh
like a prong to a pitted plum
he had played with war
toyed with war
yet the gun
well the gun didn't have balls
Not for him the sterile
three shrouds removed 
expunging of visera with a gun
sissy pistols
pansy takers

Stick um good
part the seas of red
wake and feed the hounds of war
plastic pop-guns shatter beneath the heel of Mars
Man UP, raise the staff
and shove the pig sticker into mother's child

Oh man, war, Old Man War
do you visit him each night as you enter 
what should be the path to love?
Have a poke little man
just remember, all that was is ...
and will be born again.

Dedicated to a constant friend and inspiration Chris Aechtner
Inspired by his write "kids use toy guns'

I Will Be I

I wanted to be her
So that everyone will like me
I decided to hold my guts together
So I can be the bird set free

I tried and tried and tried
But no one appreciated
My own soul became my other side
I forgot why I was created

Then one day she was proved wrong
And maybe so was I
Maybe I scraped my own self with the fork prong
And filled her in hope of something high

I forgot no matter what
I am good and will be good
I don't need to be someone I not
As long as I stood

I totally forgot I will be I
And she will be she
From now on when I look at the sky
I will wish for the six year old me

Bat Bite


    Stolen from story book disbelief 
    Leather cape swoop, hooks my veins
    Fork prong fangs drink, blood drains
    Bubble in ruby bead eyed thief


    Gurgle as furry gargoyle fills 
    Helicopter hurricane flurry vanishes 
    Clutching my haemorrhage damages
    Explosive throat, dizzying thrills

 
   Attack on this dreaded day, theorise
   Opened as old time, musty pages
   Terror in an unexpected text message 
   Dirty diseased creature in disguise


   Heroic helper - no - unobscured horror 
   Giving me a role in rancid plot 
   Grave digging past reveals rot
   Historic vampiric bombastic bother 




   Haunted Taunted
     Spooks Peek

Premium Member Weight Bells

Barren like broken coral 

	I wander the desert alone

		a nautical map in my mind

			of sand’s gristles coalescing 


Fins and snorkel thirst for wet

	suit and pursuit as bubbles

		disappear in quick sand and

			sink holes glisten and simmer


Down at the ‘see bed’ right next to

	Atlantis rings in sunken dreams Oasis

		looms and teases a free flowing spindle

			drowns hope in foreshore’s drought


		As dunes of loneliness grind my lungs and ponged prong

	remembers to chill in the perspiring heat I am ambivalent of

whether it was a good idea to trade my life buoy for an anchor

Premium Member Hidden Truths

Sprinkled over time of passing he finds legacy’s fathomless treasures

Finally he comes across a few pages of his father’s diary from the War

Loss fear survival battles a bullet here and there and grinding demise

Longing for home land and loved ones scripted in Russia’s wide open planes


		Glory Defeat Unspeakable Blood Who is to Judge

		If One has not walked in those military boots


And yet this is history a personal narrative a segment of the son’s truth

Hard to forgive but not to forget in the quest for understanding and light

He has not fled himself from chains of tanks crushing not only miserable frost

But comrades in arms receiving recompense for invasion and perpetration

		
There were concentration camps in his way what Did

		He do what Did he know and how and or what Did he fight


A belt buckle survived and the offspring wore it at Dad’s last journey

Had always believed it was the Army’s with Swastika and inscribed

With ‘Blood and Honour’ as a pledge to insanity and conquest’s decree

Tight around waist and courage for a cause thankfully fallen between cause


		Research has found a new meaning and the prong for the

		Strap had been the emblem of Hitler Youth’s torched madness


Why did his father hold that memory so dear was it pride recall un-reformed

Delusion and what other remembrance has beentaken to an uncomfortable grave
