Premium Member Cafe Girl You Really Changed My Ways

We were playin’ shows in mid-Tennessee (dodgin’)
Biblical storms like we were sailors at sea
Found a great place to eat in the town called Ville-de-Nash
Where they serve great coffee, fried pickles, and hash

Drinkin’ strong southern coffee to pass the time (I’m)
Swappin’ stories with some friends of mine (when)
I looked up to a big smile talkin’ down to me
“How y’all doin? The refills are free”

Café girl, you really set things ablaze 
I was king of my world but in one big haze (now) 
I want your sweet smile in every one of my days
Café girl, you really changed my ways

The band went onto Memphis, last show on the road
I stayed in Music City thinkin’ all systems go (but)
After drinkin’ enough coffee to sink a ship
I just couldn't help it and out it slipped

Café girl, you really set things ablaze 
“I’m your Rhett dear Scarlett”, she laughed in my face
Wasn't the reaction I’d imagined for days
Café girl, you really changed my ways

After a pause she saw the hurt in my eyes (and)
Said “ok Rhett” to my great surprise (but)
Told me I’d have to work harder than that (sayin)
“Do I look like I need kissin’ badly and that?” 

Café girl, you really set things ablaze 
Who knew she was in a band in past days
Singin’ the lead till partin’ ways
Café girl, you really changed my ways

Café girl, you really set things ablaze 
Let’s hit the road and see how it plays

Café girl, you really set things ablaze 
Let’s hit the road and see how it plays

LOngfellow bridge

Was it the Longfellow Bridge? Massachusetts?
One night we crossed a bridge on foot,
Dominique, my travel friend this summer 1989,
And seated we contemplated Boston at night,
Summer was hot, the city friendly and joyful,
We talked two hours about this new country,
The lights of Boston were full of Promises,
There was something soothing about America.


Était-ce le pont de Longfellow ? Massachussetts ?
Une nuit nous avons franchi un pont à pied,
Dominique, mon amie de voyage cet été 1989,
Et assis nous avons contemplé Boston la nuit,
L’été était chaud, la ville amicale et joyeuse,
Nous avons parlé deux heures de ce nouveau pays,
Les lumières de Boston étaient pleines de Promesses,
Il y avait quelque chose d’apaisant en Amérique.

Easter As Interpreted By This Atheist

though avast percentage 
     of Stone Temple Pilots, she push peep pulls 
     viz vernacular speaking population
     to most pious take as gospel 

     every word in religious tomes 
     their collective soul asylum polestar, 
     and doth decree important doctrines 
     with especial accord

equal insignificance applied toward 
    Judeo-Christian holidays across the board
thus easter tis no exception to the golden rule, 
     where santa claus reached an a chord

follow auspicious signs alit in the night sky 
     shaped like a drinking gourd
perhaps amassing plentiful harvests 
     upon hamlets strewn 

     across scantily populated Earth
     asper cornucopia exhibited secret hoard
sharing  plentiful Horn 
     (and Hard art learned lesson) 
     to stave off barren ness, ignored

going forward seeding nascent 
     March Madness with help from Lord
     and Tailor as midwife hoot 
     tended Ville Nova moored

by Wildcat fanatics, who unbelievably  
     espied heavens cleft asunder 
     and golden rays poured
while collective spectators loudly screamed 

     akin to the soundgarden 
     of ferocious cats roared
witnessed history scored
earning players knighted 
     with Excalibur sword
thence entire team handed 
     Taj Mahal shaped award 

which aforementioned ass hide lacks, cuz zit 
     happens tubby April Fool's joke
thus above iterated verses somehow 
     needs just a little bit of relevance to yoke

thine admitted ambivalent reaction to sports, 
     yea aye pay figurative toke
hen to Rabbinic, generic fanatic primal 
     tribal village people clan destine woke

and swinging focus of this poem 
     back toward Religious perp ported berth
when (sans antiquity) trumpet signaled 
     thus, any superstitions blew away dearth 

when distant shofar heard 
     in every home and hearth
anticipating arrival of the Easter Bunny,    
     who brings mirth

and hop poly distributes sweet treats, 
     which children as grown adults, 
     no matter necessity for teeth to be removed
     the sugary over indulgence wool worth 
     
today thee American Dental Association chastises candy 
     manufacturers bandying more weight
gaining deadly, debauched, and decadent, trait
then adultery verboten fruit to sate 
hash-tagged reprobate.

i smoked a cigarette and left the city behind

I asked the owl:
“What is love?”
She said to me:
"Ask God."

I asked God:
“What is love?”
He said:
“Ask your wife.”

I asked my wife:
“What is love?”
She replied with a smile:
«Ask the owl»

I smoked a cigarette and left the city behind.



J’ai demandé à la chouette :
«  Qu’est-ce que l’amour ? »
Elle m’a dit :
« Demande à Dieu. »

J’ai demandé à Dieu :
«  Qu’est-ce que l’amour ? »
Il m’a répondu :
«  Demande à ta femme. »

J’ai demandé à ma femme :
«  Qu’est-ce que l’amour ? »
Elle m’a répondu en souriant :
« Demande à la chouette »

J’ai fumé une cigarette et ai laissé la ville derrière moi.

What Don'T Kill Makes Fat

“ Dare you get the spoon between me fingers,”
“I’m not opening for I hate the taste that lingers.”
“Custer oil”
“The last time you gave it to me I’d thought I’d die but my pants were soiled.” 
“I’m the laughing stock at school,”
“It ran down my leg and left a smell pool.”
“Kids call me wheenie the runny pooh.”

“How could you mum?”
“Give me something that make me loose control of my bum.”
“You said what doesn’t kill will only make you fat for goodness sake!”
“At this rate I’ll be as skinny as a rake.”

“Not this time, it will leave a mental scar,”
“”UHHHH!!! MMMMM!!! Yuck!!! Ahhhh”
“That’s not fare!!!”
“MUM now I have to take a change of underwear

Premium Member ville vivante -

brush in hand, he breathes life to paper ...

      columns ... bejeweled and sparkling
         like blades of shimmering grass
   piercing the night as star-flecked stalagmites
fingers of phosphorescent proficiency

      flickering with the finest of human accomplishment
         and twirling through the ether like fairies
   darting and dancing to the throb of frantic grids below
glowing girders and gangling spires, agleam

      trembling with the concerns of life
         and dressed in the temperate weight of wonder
   a thousand stories born each elegant instant
countless dramas and conundrums

      spinning to their inexorable ends
         numberless breaths gasped and giggled
   heart-upon-heart pumping ire and exasperation
thrumming with passions, proved and pondered

      or the typic pulse of the prosaic
         a glistening garden of "la condition humaine"
   a beast born of concrete and light ...
its urbane and provocative heart, beating ...

      the canvas has come ... to LIFE!

Dusky Autumn

On the offshore of Atlantic ocean, - On the offshore of Atlantic ocean,
Walking on the bridge of hurricane,Intensifying force of wind hit my soul.
Empty streets with no one around,Paving away the roads of silly love.
Turning skies into grey,
We both freaking near the bay,
Freezing rain drizzled away,
Snow rain sizzled with a hope of ray!

Ohhhh my god,It's damn awesome!
Abundance of Lush green meadows was the season's feather.
Into the red,yellow,purple,brown,The transition of leaves,Echoed the sense of melancholic reflection.
Showering and Turning my dark days into bright, Its time to bloom with an early sunrise.

Bizarre cloud,dusty storm,
Love spouted between the two egoed rabbits.
Bursting the introvert feelings,cherishing the moments together at the street's of luxe ville.
Left an Autumn of love in our heart!

Light sun curvature reflecting against my eyes,
Awned wheatgrass,cold wind wrapping us,moving into the world of fantasy.
Beating down, The rhythm and blues, shaking the jazz with a sip of jigger!

Mild night temperature with deep brown  coffee,
Amorously advancing towards romance,
Nature taking the baby steps,dissolving in the essence of season,Gladly applauding Your arrival ,warmly welcoming an Autumn!

Bilan Annuel

Comme a écrit un grand philosophe,
Il y a deux tragédies dans la vie.
L´une c’est de réaliser ses rêves
Et l´autre c’est de ne pas les réaliser.
Ah! Comme le temps passe vite,
Une année s’est écoulée et je ne peux dire
Si j’ai réaliser mes rêves ou pas.
J´avais envie de m´évader de cette maison,
De ce quartier, de cette ville, de ce pays ;
De créer un monde différent de celui dans le quel je vivais.
Mais je ne suis allé nulle part
Et j’ai rencontre des gens formidables qui comptent pour moi aujourd’hui
Et depuis, le quartier dans lequel je vis s’est métamorphosé.
Par ailleurs j’ai eu des angoisses, des remords
Et des espoirs envolés.
Hélas, c’est une nouvelle année qui va commencer
Et je me sens comme perdu au milieu de ce monde.

Premium Member Ultimately. . .

(a 7/5 Trochee)

Once upon a time, I got
Right inside my ear
An infection that was bad;
I could barely hear.

It was like those times you fly
In a plane so high
And your ears start popping,
But not up high was I!

I was told to see the doc,
But that costs so much
I just googled for myself
Homemade cures and such.

Hydrogen peroxide was
One I thought to try:
Soak a cotton ball with it;
To your ear apply. . .

So I’d tilt my head, press that
Cotton on my ear,
Gingerly at first, for I
Felt a little fear.

But a fizzling then began
Just like Google said -
(kind of cool). I kept putting
It inside my head!

Once you’ve got it all cleared up,
Bubbles should abate.
So in increments of time,
I would stop and wait. . .

When I thought that fizzling part
Couldn’t stay for long,
I would try that “cure” again.
Bubbles came on strong!

So I gave up in disgust,
Worried now that I’d
Put into my ear too much 
Of that peroxide.

To the doctor I would go
With my $hundred plus+.
Doctor looked into my ear;
Saw a lot of pus.

He allayed my fears about
My home remedy,
Saying it could do no worse 
Than just annoy me.

Doctor's cure was not to be
what I would suppose.
I should have to put, instead,
something up my nose!

Sometimes eating apples won’t 
Keep that doc away.
Ultimately. . . to get well,
Be prepared to pay!!!
