Premium Member Many silly poems potpourri
In most of my verse, my simple aim
is just sorta to enter tame.
Then, once inside ~
go completely hog wild ~
showing no reserve,
showing absolutely no shame.

For example:

"What do you think of my pup?",
I asked a cop...

Half Measures
This is how it starts
the decline of who we are, the decline of something more
the start of wars
Installed in us is confidence
confidence, a blessing or a curse
Without confidence we stand degraded, disenchanted, alone

Premium Member The Smell of Fear - Collaboration
Alien talk I can’t understand
A Pifflewig performed a handstand
He verbalised through his ass
Gross putrid wind he did pass
Like many blokes throughout the land!

I farted, perhaps it was fear
Foul wind was expelled from my rear
The pifflewig...

When I watch the tides send spume and surf onto the poets' swaying shore

Caress the silken sand embrace high waters so quietly or with almighty roar

As tangled seaweed...

The USS Horace Bass,
The KEEL was laid in ‘44

Somewhere Near Here
In old Jerusalem near cross and sepulcher
Transgressors and confessors searching for a cure
Weary Pilgrims assembled in this place ornate
Guilty, broken, sad, sickened, from life’s heavy weight

Here we remember how our sin once did molest
How selfish...

The Lord of the Line
A lonely beam of yellow-white light,
carving a curve in the ink of the night,
upon the snow-burdened branches of pine,
standing still guard to the lord of the line.

The icy wind howls in the silence serene,
tempting the...

And Sadness Reigns
And sadness reigns
Though never ordained
from the simple truth
Billowing joy
Subverting bliss
Standards too ephemeral
To lobby the naked
wishes we hold
Desperately close
To our heart
And sadness reigns
Our heart
once whole
Sputter and mends
And beats eternally
No matter the blood
No blood the matter
It seeks,...

Summer In Karroodorp 1954
On the anvil that’s the dorp
The noon-day sun beats down.
So between twelve and two
Life in the place is suspended.
Doors to the stores are ‘toe’
And in their dusty windows cheap 
Mannequins sleep with open eyes.

The air...

We built our love from the ground on up 
Like a skyscraper our love pierced the sun 
Our heads caught in the clouds, nothing beats cloud nine
You said but the insidious storm gathered his congregation...

ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER ADHD
The boy was as quiet as a viper
Often talkative and very hyper
One thought crossed another
Another topic intercepted the other.

He jumped and jived that young little boy
He sure had ways to actively...
