Tatters

His clothes were tattered, in vivid shades of red blue & yellow
he wore leatherette shoes blackly polished and gleaming with shine
Red fiery hair that  summoned like a fire hydrant and a big fat rubber nose that honked when it was squeezed. 
He had a polka dotted hanky that protruded from his well padded suit,  
and a kangaroo pocket in which he kept all his most precious belongings.   
Aside from the fact that those big blue eyes of his were undeniably sad, 
every part of his retinue screamed, "I am funny, I can make you laugh"
People came to the circus to watch his goofy antics and  
to forget their worries for a little while.  One day while he was blowing up balloons for the children, he died of a massive heart attack.
In heaven the angels took Tatters to the children's room.  Sitting on a big shiny 
red stool he was asked to make balloons for every child in God's creative nest.   
His eyes were never sad again for he knew that here,   
he could make a child smile and never grow old, or ever be sad again.  

The End.

Growing Up Brave Is Growing Honest No Room For Fake

The thing with psychology is it darkens the human 
when you’re no longer guessing or sat there assuming 
the intent of a pattern inferring the action 
a shade that people would name as the black one 

There’s more bad than good 
mostly misunderstood 
the way they were raised 
the lack of the praise 
but mostly relatability that never took place 
somebody else out there in the same place 
relating to struggles you currently face 
to take you away from the lonely embrace 

And families do matter 
the man and the master 
the lady and daughter 
what went before ya 

because the greatest mothers have never been boys 
only a man knows what that path deploys 
and I can not understand females in puberty 
I’m on the outside that experience protruded me 

So try to be thoughtful and engage your brain 
engage it like pride when you know it is shame 
because shame has a lining that’s silver in shade 
growing up is reliant on honest and brave

I've seen eye-catching blossoms elsewhere, but I need not look further than my front yard. Take the IRIS blossoms for example. Why, she's always 

beautiful and robed in purple, but, although I don't think she's selfish or anti-social, she never stays for long. The white blossomed ROSES are beautiful 

and plentiful; the pink ones are most beautiful and stunning, but not near as plentiful as the white ones. Across the walkway, the two distinguished ROSE 

plants produced outstanding red blossoms this Spring. They were several years in coming with such a 'mother lode', but this year, they spoke in 'show 

and tell fashion', loud and clear. My eyes never cease to adore a one-foot CATCUS from which protruded 4 beautiful blossoms. A sticker, but beautiful.

Premium Member Finishing the Dream

As I tried to pull her along with me and our eyes started adjusting to the darkness, 
we realized that she was not suffering from some sort of paralysis.  Instead, a pair 
of large harry hands protruded through the sidewalk and were each wrapped 
around one of her ankles.

I am not sure why, but I unzipped my pants and started to urinate on the hands.

“What are you doing”, cried my girlfriend, full of fear.

“Our urine is like acid on their skins”, I answered, not really sure how I knew this.

She stared at me with a quizzical look on her face as if she, too, was afraid to ask 
how I knew that – fearful of what my answer might be.

As the skin burned off the large hands, my girlfriend was able to step free and we 
started running down the darkened city street.

Off in the distance was a barely perceivable blinking red light marking the 
destination I was heading for.  Even though it felt like we were running in place and 
in slow motion, the red light grew larger and larger with each lethargic step.

Finally, we reached our destination.  It looked like a domed baseball stadium 
hovering five feet off the ground.  I approached a door-like structure and 
yelled, “Permission to enter the ship” – only the sounds that came out of my mouth 
were strange bleeps and blips. 

“No humans allowed”, boomed from the spaceship in the same bleeping language 
that I had just used.

“It’s okay – she’s with me”, I responded.  My girlfriend took a step back, stared at 
me with terror in her eyes – eyes that then rolled back as she started to fall in a 
faint.

Just in time, I stepped toward her and grabbed her before she crashed onto the 
ground.  Her weight and momentum took me down with her in a soft landing with 
me cushioning her fall.

It was then that I awoke to find my girlfriend on top of me having somehow aroused 
me enough to be pleasuring her in my sleep.

"Oh, you feel so good", she moaned ...only, it came out in bleeps and blips.

Another Day At the Office

White Ted looked flat; 
that hair and pyjama bed smell.
She was getting heavier

My bleary eyes trying not to sleep.
Bone protruded from flesh, 
blooded the seat and gearstick; 

leaning in best I could
to cannulate, set up drip by torchlight
as Firefighters started cutting.

She smiled and tightened her grip; 
I kissed her forehead
still feeling the bitter cold.

Fluorescent coat bulkily hindering
as cracking metal sheered; 
dressing the open bloody carnage.

Suddenly toast popped up, 
"Have a good day at school" I said, 
fighting my tiredness.

The mangled wreck still lingered
as I put my daughter down, 
heading for bed, another shift tonight.


Animals and People

4/9/17


Vultures circled overhead then swooped in
Towards the remains of a human
Nearby an outcrop of rocks that protruded

Another morning filled with fog
A frog sat upon a log
Of which he was fond
Inside a pond full of fronds
Within a bog
Located way beyond


A horse named Cork participated in all sorts of sports
Involving some kind of course
Holding its own head up high, while it continued forth
Even when the winds blew with force
From the south, east, west or north
Close and far from any wharf
They won so often that there owner bought a porsche
And new home with a beautiful porch


A cat that was a black
Attacked a rat
Then ate it as a snack
Rather fast
In a patch of grass
Before it groomed and scratched
Then sat in the back of a shack
Nearby a hat rack and took a nap
At last

Out of town
Across a field that was recently plowed
A brown cow sat down
On the ground
Below a sky with little clouds
After it had some chow

Before, during and after it haled
A person had a few too many pale ales
Then went off the rails
By pulling off a chick's ponytail
And getting caught with a scale
Next day woke up in jail
With no bail
And realized they had failed
In their own coffin another nail
Eventually was released and got home to bills in the mail
And nothing but bread that was stale
So they inhaled
And focused on how to prevail
Throughout the trail
Before seeing boats in the distance with sails
Soon after flew by a flock of quail
And then far away towards the horizon, water spouted from a whale

The Twilight Zone

Docs words repeated over and over in his head,
“And then I’ll cease to exist, I’ll… be dead.”
He shivered as he lit up a smoke, 
The news seemed like an April fool joke.

He looked back through the glass door,
As he watched his son of ten, playing on the floor.
He turned away when he felt the pain under his vest,
From the cancerous wound that protruded from his chest.

It made his world begin to indiscriminately spin,
His legs shook violently as if his spirit tried to break out his skin.
He dropped heavily to his knees 
And looked up saying “Not yet, God please”
“Give me a little more time with my little one,”
“To explain it to my son”

A white light for a split second flashed around him
From a flying object up high that shot out this beam
He was stunned for a short while
Then suddenly felt his chest and began to smile

The cancer was removed from his chest
“I’m healthy and strong like the rest”
He turned to tell the happy new to his son
But instead he didn’t see anyone

Opening the door, he called for his son and his wife
Suddenly he was hit by a man carrying a knife
The intruder was a soldier or that’s how he dressed
As they wrestled the knife plunged in his chest

He screamed, “Please don’t hurt my son John,”
The intruder’s eyes showed that something was wrong.
And what he said was stranger still
He called out “Dad is that you?” which gave him an eerie chill.

The intruder said “But how can this be?”
“You went missing 25 years ago you see”
“One minute you were smoking out side the next you were gone,”
He gasped for air as he lay dying on the lawn

The stranger looked up “Please God, I can’t loose my father all over again!!!”
But this time there was not light
as the 
life 
began 
to 
drain….

My Longing Creature

Crack! I lay, beneath me creaking
Hath it taken from me? What to give?
Mayhaps yesternight another seeking
For not many there is to live
It approaches, shaking, floors creaking
To thee I will never forgive

The black, slender arms reach
It thrashes! THRASHES, thrash–
Follicles, it pulls, off me, I screech
With many a fang, I faintly see a gnash
 Holding me, gripping such as a leech
Of my being, will you bash?

Desires faintly protruded, of a glare 
I wanted to feel an embrace so warm
Instead, I long, gasping for air
Of my strangled state, you aware of enorm
Thirsted for love, endearment not there
Just us, our state one described deform

Despite conditions, not a sound shall hang
As I know we are bound to meet again
Bound, bound beneath thee embrace and fang
Thy body, slim and slime, gets off now then
You’ll return, but you go with a bang
As I am left to wonder when

Premium Member Thunder In the Night

The thunder pounded in the night,
impending storm, a tension felt.
The darkness trembled with delight
as clouds protruded like a welt,
and air with trepidation dealt.

The thunder pounded in the night,
and lightning flashed across the sky.
The anxious night was glowing bright;
anticipations running high
as lovers gazed into their eyes.

The thunder pounded in the night,
and rain came pouring from above.
The room was heavy with storm’s might
as gale force winds gave pair a shove
while yielding to this night of love.

The thunder pounded in the night;
their bodies now as one conform
with passion burning, fires ignite.
But now a calmness starts to form,
yet calm is just the eye of storm…..

A Night Ride

One dark night takes me on a ride to an isolated hill where I inhale unpleasantness ..
Wide gleamy monstrous gate opens as the mighty wind blows,
creepy ferns crawl all over the floor.
Eerie garden awaits the lost lover's presence;
There stands a haunted home with a grubby porch at the entrance.
The magnanimous door welcomes me unwaveringly;
To the right there's slaughter hall polished with blood stains.
On the wall, hung portrait of a lady wearing a long red gown with a silver hat and a golden rosette stapled; 
Beside protruded, a yearning window decorated by cob webs;
To the left led staircase ,as I step on railing, it crackles like hatching eggs; Carefully I manage to reach the first floor and confronted a quiet room occupied by constant whispers & spine-chilling whimpers...I slowly move inside and envision nothing strange,but I feel something moist dripping on my cheeks from the roof above.
When I look up, the entire strong ceiling collapses,
disembodied spirit arises,floating on air,observes the decaying house from a distance.
