Test scraps between Black Caps and Stokesy's chaps


Leisurely walk around Lords non stop pop of champagne cork

Scorecard dork does chalk the first over from Will O’Rourke

Another flowering Kiwi tree who gets the ball to talk & fork

While towering style of Kyle with guile & wile gall fans gawk


Doff your hat to Matt who really is all that aficionados squawk

Smith another hawk with similar riff for this tiff swing will stalk

Serious talent apparent not transparent with delirious torque

Balk one last refrain from the reign of Kane the Kiwi bulwark


If it grips rips what pips seeing Glenn Phillips flips & fillips

Golden arm charm can disarm like when baby Joe in skips

With Kane masters and pastors of snips missing the slips

Nudges nurdles overcomes hurdles as fans lick their lips

Never ruffled by kerfuffles silky shuffles and wristy whips

Express bouncer nips & dips caress the ball off their hips

Finesse not largesse witness their prowess heavenly sips


Zach having been so cack defence so slack got the sack

No coming back picked from the pack Gay to have a crack

Not out of whack got the knack this season has got a stack

Trust plucky Ducky again gets lucky no vastly ghastly hack


Stokesy becomes like Wokesy bat & ball gets us off the rack 

Dirty Harry not shirty silly willy nilly hill billy flirty is like smack 

In Ashes dung Tongue among the flashes of changing tack

No Josh tosh stung with gung ho bolts flung stumps thwack  

Tongue climbs a rung with pace he brung others made us yack 

 
Golly after much flak jolly Ollie the wally again leads the attack

After scold behold in from the cold part of fold & in the black

Coz after Oz fires our tyres flat just old hat we need a new jack


If not too chatty no cheeky drag on sneaky f*g or fatty snack 

Hopefully no folly he will be fit on the track give us bit we lack

No off his trolley verbal volley Ollie could be return of the Mac

Fear

It is fear that I’m now after
Awaiting in silence... awaiting its unnatural embrace
Too afraid perhaps to finally bother
This one excitement for a triggering chase

Why are there so much in life to fear?
Alike all thoughts and reasons... its simply a choice
Are we all afraid to let go that which dears?
Or perhaps our mirroring selves are the perfect decoys

Yet it puzzles me... whence to accept
Fear which I seek, I can no longer feel
My mirrored existence, simply a shadow met
Knowing nothing more can ever be as real

We do not dare enter our own illusion
As humans... perhaps we have too much of assumptions
Why not draft anew, an unseen perception?
Than fool ourselves in our very own deceptions

Somehow... it becomes harder to feel hereafter
Lost and in dire, shadows darkening to chase
My silence spats fear no longer
Is there not a time I’m to remember its unnatural embrace?

Inspired by Will Smith in the movie After Earth

Premium Member Dream Date Collaboration

Dinner and dancing, perfect first date
Conversation flowing easily, it's going great
Breeze blowing her long auburn hair
Down towards the sea we disappear
Midnight stroll on the starlit beach 
The perfect girl finally within reach

Moonlight illuminates her pretty face
Elegance, beauty, full of grace 
Slowly, tenderly, our hands entwine
Hearts race she’s so divine
Can’t believe she is mine

My knees going weak
From her exotic mystique
My lips do shiver 
A kiss she delivers

Hand in hand 
Across the sand
Dreaming of wonderland

Two hearts
Love starts 

Forever

Overlooked

Overlooked-by Dominique Smith

Can you cry the ocean so those in need can come over with a boat? No but I ca- Can you fix a window with the scraps of band-aid? No,  But I ca- Can you burn like the paddles who can bring life back to the barren waste land?! No but I ca- Do you know the future is going to be bright because the sun will be blocking the fear of those with their eyes closed!? No but I ca- I have had enough! 

Who are you? Why cant you speak!? Can take the acid and razors to the back door so only the weak will prevail!? Can you take the smoke from a factory pull it into the lungs of the ratchet!? Can you put the bullet from a misfire to the right target? Left hand up right leg to the dirt. Have the tragedy of the unknown really come forth to tell us the last site of humanity? Can you bring the head of the insightful to tears with nothing more mere gesture of your eye? Well, no but I ca- Im not done! Can you regrow the heart lost to those who have fought? They have fought for those spitting in their homes that will never get the dired poison out of the carpet of rage?

Well? Speak! Speak! Where .... where are you? A note found on the drift of the air " I cant fight, I can't cure, I cant bring life into the dead condition of those have been washed with acid, I cant pray or study enough to bring the blood to the living in the beds of the damned. I can however love, listen, encourage, remind those who are lost that life isnt a trial for people who are

BATman and Robin


Awe & shock bowlers in the dock our warlock & glock “the judge”

Rapscallion and stallion wrangling with dangling golden medallion 

Facing the pacing battalion on our latest sinking Caribbean galleon

Our burly oracle with each follicle so curly a rock that won't budge


In that 90’s dungeon Robin our classy curmudgeon brassy bludgeon 

Truncheon fine dining on a hurly burly Courtenay & Curtly luncheon

Calms alarms and qualms delivers us from harm with stoic heroic psalms

Call to arms more like baobabs than palms those offside charms “the Judge”


Speedsters scary & lairy others wary prime time for our hairy chest fairy

Robin our pace Pontiff willow ace not a whiff or a riff or sniff of what if

Believers in his jobbing levers will go biff in any tiff that's the pith of Smith


Not just a county squire but quite possibly the ultimate Hampshire Sire

Calling card hit it so hard earned the fable label of both BATman & Robin

Hall of fame name can’t smudge hats doff to a complete one off “the Judge”

Premium Member Thomas Turkey's Lament

Thomas Turkey is trying to avoid the dreaded chopping block!

He's trying to become inconspicuous amongst the teeming flock!

As you thank the Good Lord this year for your many blessings,

Nothing would taste sweeter than Peking duck with your dressings!

Kith and kin, may I recommend, might prefer a roast of beef.

Surely, that would save my friends and me a whole heap o' grief!

Goose, roasted tender and brown, you might consider for your fare.

Instead of turkey to grace your board, how about some wild hare!

Vanity, the haughty eagles's trait, which I think is so absurd,

Is what won it the honor of being selected for the national bird!

Now, 'tis well known that Mr. Franklin wanted us for that role.

Good try, Ben my boy!   May God bless your thoughtful soul!

During the Thanksgiving Season I'm finding it so hard to relax,

As I scurry about to and fro trying to elude that fearsome axe!

You'd be dining on roasted eagle for Thanksgiving if Ben had had his way!

Premium Member Billy's Revenge

Billy Smith was poor and it did show
His rich relatives didn't want to know
They had their cars and barbecues
And howled at Billy’s worn out shoes.

Billy went for a walk and on the ground
Saw a shiny thing, a brand new pound
Bought a lotto ticket he had nothing to lose
But should have bought glue to fix them shoes.

That night he was sitting, watching T.V.
And up came the results for the lottery
He looked at his ticket, in total surprise
He had six numbers; couldn't believe his eyes.

Some twenty years later Billy passed away
His relatives had looked forward to this day 
For the funeral some had travelled miles
Wearing Sunday best and big false smiles.

He was a lovely man they’d all say
But a big surprise was coming their way
They couldn't care less about poor Bill
Only interested in what was in his will.

Three weeks later Billy’s will was read
And in it this is what the statement said
There is not one relative here today
That is going to gain in any way.

I was down on my luck you shut your door
You didn't want to know me anymore
You heard of my win, you circled around
My money I've given to the dog pound.

And here is something else that is in hand
By your houses I've purchased all the land
A sewage farm will be built that you'll see
When you open your windows, remember me.

Premium Member What Is a Poem

What is a poem if not a song
 Just add the melody 
 And sing along

 What is a poem if not a dance
 Gliding across the page
 with moves to enchant

 What is a poem if not a rose
 as words bring it to bloom
 in sweet repose

 What is a poem if not a butterfly
 fluttering of the page
 and up to the sky!
  Joseph May
                 
 What is a poem but a caring letter
 Sending love and advice
 To make you feel better
          Judy Ball

 What is a poem if not a flower
   Beautiful blossoms 
 Climb cerebral bowers
       Daniel Turner

 What is a poem, if not life
  So much emotion
 To stamp out worldly strife
        Harry Horsman

 What is a poem if not a word
   Within words, singing
     images unheard
        Darren White

 What is a poem if not a rainbow
        Adding many colors
      That leaves a glow
         Alexis Y.

 
 What is a poem, if not a voice of expression 
      many thoughts expressed, 
           in so few lines 
            Jeremy Smith 
  
 

 *If you wish to add to this poem, I will add it with your name.

Premium Member I Can'T Control the Wind

I can't control the wind

I woke up this morning, 
not much to do, I said.
So children were woken,
and into the kitchen I went. 
But something happened, as water was poured for tea.
this kitchen i said, oh my oh no, look how messy.

As my hands slipped into hot wet bubbles,
I got busy with brush and plate.
Feeling wound up, into dishes I delved 
making dishes my own safe place.
A frenzied morning before work begins
I feel so out of control,
then I remember, though shocked I was,
I cannot control the wind. 

Try as  I might, strive strong and long
I seem to be losing this fight, 
kids go left when I say right,
and I realize once again, i cannot control the wind.

Grow up strong, grow up proud, get a job, get paid,
So I push and ponder and power through each very very long day
Meetings, chats and Telegram, its all too much
stop I'll try but i realise, I cannot control the wind.

Nothing I do and nothing I say,
can I manipulate a moment to go my way.
I stomp around busy all day
and screech, STOP, I have had enough.
In a pause, a moment to breathe,
sanity slowly returns, and I realise 
I am only me and I cannot control the wind!

So clenched hands open and feet stand still,
as surrender I do, all control
to a God that knows it all.
Who smiles at my effort,
but knew from end to begin
his daughter full of passion, purpose and pride, 
cannot control the wind. 

As I slow to a stop, refocusing on Him,
I realise something so true.
The one that created the world and breathed life into everything,
It is Him and only He, who can control the wind.

The Flying Fruit of Grumpy Barnaby

Deep within the city park
stood Barnaby, a highly 
grumpy, semi- sentient apple 
tree.
He absolutely despised
when children approached
with fawning, goofy faces to
steal his fruit.
Whenever kids giggled and 
reached up, Barnaby would 
furiously shake his wooden 
branches.
THWACK! A barrage of ripe,
juicy red apples went flying 
like heat- seeking missiles.
He pelted the screaming kids
right on their bottoms, chuckling
a low, creaky laugh.
The children thought it was a
hilarious game and ran through 
the park intentionally.
They made ridiculous,
exaggerated kissy- faces just
to trigger the tree's flying fruit 
defense. 
Barnaby snorted woodchips,
launching a rapid- fire green
Granny Smith straight at a
nose.
The park echoed with loud,
joyful snorts as apples 
bounced harmlessly off
targeted bellies.
The grumpy tree finally 
smiled, realizing his thrown
treats made everyone incredibly 
happy.
