Making Love

Making love is like a trip to the bakery
Sweet like pastry without the calories
Use spoons over forks and knives
It is like a ship with sails unfurled
Stretched out in the arms of love at sea

It is like nothing else on Earth not even butter
If you have never done it don't worry about others
You can always start with yourself and work up
But never use hammers or cameras in bed

It is easier than riding a bike or horse
A second course is right around the corner
But wear a helmet at night for protection
If you are horny wear a horn
It is best when performed on trampolines
Avoid mixed company and drinks

Contortionists know how to please
Remember, sex is more fun when not twisted

Love making is a truly probiotic experience
According to nutritionists it is delicious
Good for your health and digestive system
When making love use the right tools
It is the formula for success
Safe sex is the rule


Premium Member Dilly-Dally of Dandelions

The base word “dally,” from old French used to mean to chat idly.

dilly-dally of dandelions - seeds on fire, blown
    downward.       inspire
molten icing—  erupting,
disrupting    the perfect garden of peace.

dilly-dally, those tongues wagging like puppy tails.
such excitement, seems friendly, enticing—
    it’s dicey; the splintering
of rivulets, they run

dripping from waterfall lips, diving off the precarious cliff -
trampolines everywhere, but they’re missed. the kiss
of candy-sweet news, the licorice-twist…

she can’t place a hand over her own gaping hole.
the dog bites the hand that tries to scold.
the slap-happy hoarding of gossip - the girl

can’t get enough. when it’s not on the wire,
she turns to the swoon of reality t.v.
salivating, with ears like a drainage ditch,
or a sinkhole, a muddy swamp. she loves

it.
 they
  don’t.
    run.
     she’s
      trouble.

Enthusaistic Looking Religous People

[the Egyptians are extremely interesting to us today
for various reasons.  How science today wishes to 
understand the secret ingredients where that the Egyptians 
used when they wrapped up dead people so that their faces 
would not rot for innumerable centuries.]

LIKE SILVER BIRDS before the wind
enthusiastic looking religious people who sit in sky seats.

The germs breaking out of mankind with lumps of famous bronze.

They will clear up your guts.

Say, 'shh.'  The corduroy forest is luscious and black smoke 
of the lamp.  Dots of red ants are upon the Letter we Opened.

They build trampolines in the dish but we have forgotten.
To not be able to shake the wrinkles off of time and memories.

How they watch and laugh!
Look, there is something we all want.

It has steps.

Here is the key:

"Shh."

The stoat jumps out of the fur and runs away to catch the scent.

Shh.  -- only for a moment then from behind the awful gilt wings of a magnificent
palace of life shall be painted on the blackened door.  And when it is done it will
be our palace of course.  Bluebells, bluebells, bluebells of hundreds--like far-off suns--
hand strayed from that beaten path.

Premium Member Me and Trampolines

Polite trampoline jumping
Keeping my shirt down.
Not wearing a dress unless I have shorts
to cover my panties

Unbelievable trampoline jumping
Terrific when I was a child
Until I lied and said I could do a flip
And I burst my nose open on the trampoline springs

Refused to do trampoline jumping
When I was in my twenties 
Thinking I was too grown up for it

Jumped twice when I was in my forties.
Bad mistake. Dislocated a knee. 
And pulled a calf muscle.

Trampoline jump once at fifty-five
My grandchildren were thrilled
Piled on me in the middle after six jumps

Dainty trampoline jumping
Looking forward to it when I get
to my eighties, after I lose my mind.

How To Have Sex

Begin by swinging from chandeliers when home
Wear matching multicolored harlequin costumes
Equip yourselves with harmonicas and bazookas
Keep lubricants and trampolines near by for safety

Practice lunar landings in your room to
Resume your activities in the great outdoors

Do sex outside in a car when retired
Bring a partner and spare tire as required
Avoid police if so inclined
Drive eighty miles an hour at all times
Watch out for sharp curves if they object
Narrow mountain roads are watching
Keep one eye on the road while inserting 
                                                                                    
Headlights and moon glow set the mood
Never use puppets when in an auto
Open highways are always open to suggestion

Mating should only occur in mid air
Eat oysters raw when in flight
Climb to greater heights
Use Airplanes for best results
Jump from wing to wing
Wear a parachute and a pirates patch
Use only one to avoid catastrophes

Take lessons from cartoons 
To find out who you are

Leave farm and zoo animals out of the equation
Milking a cow is taboo too… Don't do it!
Wear rubber gloves if you must

Position yourselves to be lazy
In opposite directions for safety 
Never have sex face to face
Back to back is better jumping on the bed
Apparatuses are optional
To be avoided by amateurs
 
Watch out for babies!  (They snore)
Never run over them
It's against the law 
And down right crazy

Pregnancy can be fun too
Instructions are on the dashboard
But first you must buy or rent a car
Before you floor it

Premium Member Stoicism is the Key

In silence, when darkness 
envelopes the sky,
unlock the glass windows 
of your mind, 
forgive the stars
that veiled their silver,
for it is in times of 
confusion and calamity,
we paint our own
rose wine twilight,
that scintillates beyond
fleeting fog of time and sanity.

Sometimes, we forget to 
appreciate nature’s performance,
as life seems to be a 
black gold theatre of 
manipulative mantras. 
We rise as actors dressed in
dancing stripes of integrity,
pirouetting like a merry-go-round 
of lights, guiding our destiny. 
Where melodramatic monologues 
of melancholic laws
remain tucked away deep,
beneath a charismatic mattress 
woven across turquoise trampolines, 
of tranquil testaments and tiger lilies.


But as the curtains  swiftly fly 
into thin crimson layers of air,
trust the silence, for when 
everything’s louder,
we find contentment in 
compassionate places we encounter,
sowing seeds of love, whilst we hope;
brushing off negativity’s echoes,
to clutch onto inner healing’s rope,
and surrender to its throes.

So allow the invisible wand 
of your soul that sears
to sprinkle pixie-dust upon 
the backbone of cascading fears,
let your heartbeat ring 
and strum every 
metallic string of faith,
whilst thin veins in 
throbbing waves hum,
“Kindness is the healing
stone and stoicism is the key of life”

Premium Member The Purity of Poetry

Classic Poetry forms should not be transformed
by those who think themselves poetically charmed
Limericks are not trampolines to bounce around
Anyone who changes the form is not honor bound

If you want to allow syllables of another count
Give it some other name and use any old amount
But keep the form pure as did poet, Edward Lear
as it was sung in bars while drinking ale and beer

Variations in forms have been liberally adapted
the original remains from which they were extracted
It's been successfully done with Japanese Haiku
Now, branched into many... there are quite a few

No contest judge, whether an amateur or a pro
should alter Limerick line syllable count. That's a no
And then when questioned by not one but three,
The offender deleted all the comments... cowardly

There's no cloudburst of tears over a contest loss
when a know-it-all sponsor assumes he's the boss
Imagine Shakespeare writing one of his Sonnets
without rhymes as if he had a bee in his bonnet!

Being true to poetry forms is doing what's expected
Those who mess with tradition should be rejected
It's the contest that fails when the judge has no clue
and accepts anything entered, right out of the blue

No outrage or tantrums take place in that situation
The ones who bastardize should face condemnation
Original Poetic forms were never meant to be changed
Anyone who does, should be ignored and estranged

Premium Member My Last Real Toy

When I was really small, I loved my trike,
and then I graduated to a bike.
I also liked to skip, so mother bought
A jump rope that I used an awful lot.

It seems I really loved to hop around,
to have my feet come off,  then back on ground.
I got a pogo stick I used all year
and wore out quickly once I learned to steer!

At 15, I was not the same small kid,
for there were other fun things that I did.
However, I still liked some childish things
like Sting Ray bikes and trampolines and swings.

That year appeared in stores a brand new toy,
a grand delight for every girl and boy.
And though a woman I had now become,
that Christmas I just had to have me one!

This last “real” toy of mine I won’t forget
because it brought me also some regret.
A toy once you start, you can hardly stop:
Can you guess? It was the Hoppity Hop.

This toy was just a big strong rubber ball.
You’d grip its handles so you wouldn’t fall.
I loved to bounce around the yard on it,
and all I had to do was simply sit!

A boy I kind of liked showed up one day.
I didn’t know he’d come and seen me play
until I got up off that crazy ball
and went to tell him “hi,” but that’s not all. . . 

I learned the back side of my shorts had split.
The whole time he was there, I never knew it.
My sisters later told me. Well, that guy
simply stayed and didn’t bat an eye!

I felt so idiotic and was sure
he must have found me kind of immature,
a grown girl hopping all around her lawn!
But worse was how I felt once he had gone.

He’d seen my shorts ripped from behind, and then
said nothing.  I could not face him again.
So silly! He still liked me after all. . . 
but I abandoned him and that dang ball!

Premium Member A Bus Full of Books Please

We have won the lottery, but we do not want to spoil you
Mamma Sandwich said to her daughter, eight-year-old Lou.
Your papa says we will buy you one thing that you want badly.
If it is within reason, and our budget, we will do it gladly.

A bus full of books is what I want answered little Lou.
Nonfiction, fiction, joke books, and Spanish books too.
Books! Not video games or a couple of trampolines?
No, Lou replied. I want none of those banal boring things.

Her father the professor bought out a library’s shelves at eight.
They brought them home in a school bus. Lou yelled out “great!”
Mom said, “I hope she wants to read half this much when she is nine.”
“She will,” her father the professor replied, for this daughter is all mine.”

Premium Member The Haunting Dirty Blonde Knight-Where Are the Avalanches

Stars are at their peak 
Giving each other pecks on the cheek 
Telling friends watching in fantasy land what they speak 
How wonderful it is 
Being in television movie making biz 
Having a Bah calling like Lady Liz 
Miles down below 
Workers nobody know 
Are painting the background 
Taking pictures around 
Capturing the scenic mountainous sound
Goal showing characters in the town 
When the friendly blonde knight 
Not looking for a fight 
Came upon the exciting artistic sight 
Nothing was going in was the problematic plight 
And things were not all right 
Was everything through? 
For those from Vancouver 
Using a special lens 
Moving photography Fed Ex picked up for send 
Overnight received in morning by Director Ben 
Our faithful knight had five nettings 
Throughout the postcard settings 
Only issue 
Everyone needed a tissue 
Since the trampolines did not save ‘Coyote’ the family jewel 
Protected the community was priority and rule 
Filmmakers thought this visual was not cool 
Thinking avalanches are 
Exciting talk at the bar 
And enchanting as a dip in the melting snow pools 
They were acting like unprepared fools 
High above 
Stars still in love 
Not worried about the potential danger 
Relaxing back east was the summer time ranger 
Hanging out nothing to do 
Waiting for their theatrical cue 
Sitting, loitering, reading the updated script 
Being freeloaders on the studio paid vacation trip 
While hiking in the wooded brush 
Finding a husband after a quick crush 
Mrs. Knight felt the deadly threat 
Horrific visions she could not forget 
Not a good idea to tempt with a dare 
Or there could be a serious scare 
Wintry rumbles 
And loose frozen tumbles 
Creating all sorts of trouble
