Premium Member The Much-Maligned Blue Jay
The blue jay is a handsome bird though that is oft the one nice word you'll read about this robber of other birds' nests ~ this handsome pest You're a beacon of color on a bleak winter's day despite what we read about 'amoral ways' So here's to you, Mr. Jay, you liven up...

Much Maligned
A foul odor seeps into the nostrils bypassing the standard sensory process And darting straight for the brain It elicits the memories that once thought to be extinguished Bringing former passions to the forefront of a hesitant mind A mind that is weary, ravaged by time and ill-equipped to absorb such recollection Unable to suppress the torment that accompanies excruciating...

Premium Member Sunshine - Much Maligned
Sunshine at dawn blasts sunbeam holes in clouds. A celestial searchlight celebration, with silent cheers unheard by sleeping crowds who slept through their snooze alarm dictation. When sun's up high in sky it's warm and bright all paramount, pervading, endearing. People scurry about in new day's light. Ignoring the sun as source, disdaining. Noon is so hot, it's time to cover up. On goes...

Is agitator Also manipulator; Even a traitor. Between is schism; Nationalist populism; Read in catechism. Was on Morning show this morning but kind of re-written by me. Liked living at lodge; Message having a collage; Painful things did dodge. Must go to college So I can...

The Land of Kale Much Maligned Nr
There's a land to visit in your dreams a place that really has, it seems, no Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, no cabbage, broccoli or sauer- -kraut or parsnips or broad beans, and where peas truly are the only greens. Spuds they bake there have some crunch so they go quite well with Sunday lunch. And, to get apple pie or creamy...

Premium Member Much Maligned Dandelion
Those poor much maligned dandelions Always trying their very best To be loved and cherished like other blossoms Happiness is all they request But for some strange reason unknown to man They're the scourge of every lawn Like you and me they just want to be wanted Like a graceful, elegant swan To be carried on the arm of a blushing bride As part...
