Premium Member good ideas only come at night
I tore the page from its binder and ripped it to pieces, not wanting to be associated with the scribbles I had left on the sheet. To call that abomination 
'art' would be an insult...

Premium Member My Biggest Regret
He was only a sheepdog
But his death has bitten 
Into my soul ever since.
As a pup we brought 
Him from his home
In Ireland
Where supernumeraries 
Are drowned
No small   farm needing 
More than one mutt.

His...

The Last Purple Pixie
Once upon a time, Prunella
dwelt amid a magic wood
a dainty pixie most rare
whose temperament wasn't good

Last one of her purple line
in that dreary, dreaded glen
where beasts ever feared to tread
and mankind had never been

For purple...

Russia, my lovely

Why do I remember this now on a Christmas day 
galley boy on a tank ship that was old in 1956
as the youngest of the crew of mostly middle-aged men

Ode To Spring
Fair Spring, a lady, palely loitering,
    Whose brow is decked with flowers and with dew,
Whose bosom births youth’s essence which does bring
    Unto the barren glades, a glory, new,

The Winter Blues
Robert J. Lindley 

Winter blew in with a scant little whimper 
Fall skulked away with hardly a peep 
Deep cold, blowing winds fit some's temper 
Yet others they sadden enough to weep!

Blues For Rafaa
We worked together
in the airless cubicle gulag
on the surface of the moon
during the last ice age

Diligently scurrying under
the bright artificial lights
composing odes to poverty
with great purpose and poise

Dodging the executive ghouls
who skulked the narrow halls
Lon...

Hatred
You skulked down the hidden backstreets of rationality, 
peering through the keyholes of human decency, 
and crawled in through the sewers of thought, 
to whisper your name to the unsuspecting innocent, 
filling them with the...

Old sins have a long shadow
The old gnarled woman spat
You will see punishment
In a year and a day as a  matter of fact

Into the gloomy night with a full moon
I skulked away with much...

The Fox turned and looked at me
And skulked away sheepishly
Through the woods I walked
All quiet as breezes stalked

Branch to branch birds play
For my ears they sing the day
Amidst the trees in golden bands
The sun it...

The Laundromat
In another lifetime, I was there
As sudsy clothes, a’jumble,
Went round and round until removed
In damp and twisted tumble.

Into the dryers they would go
While I just sat there, reading,
To help the time go by so boredom

The Vampire and the Lady of the Night
There once was a vampire called Vincent
Finding true love was his main intent
As he skulked through the night
Causing women a fright
Biting necks was how he chose to vent

One night Vincent met up with a lady

Premium Member Incisors
The portcullis skulked up and down, with incisors twice.
Welcomed in victory; treachery was his victor. He’d sink low.
Rose petals bow under carriage wheels of friend, now foe.
To kiss the crown, the betrothal princess, he paid...
