X-Marks-the-Spot
X-Marks-the-Spot is a tickling game Which is traced upon someone’s bare back. In childhood, we played it and often it caused A goose-bump filled giggling attack. My kids got the treatment when bathtime arrived And my grandson when he was a tot, But it’s been a while since I’ve gotten the chance To engage in some X-Marks-the-Spot. Yet I came upon Henry, eleven...

X marks the spot Where a young child had stood, Enjoying his friends’ company as only A young child could. X marks the spot Where the child lay dying, Medics there to save his life, Desperately trying. X marks the spot, From which the crowd was kept, The child’s mother who broke through And uncontrollably wept. X marks the spot Where the ambulance came, The police taking...

He thought he knew me oh so well Every inch and flinch and swallow But as time passed I realized How empty unfulfilled and shallow One sided love is torment When he doesn't have a clue Faking is not my forte What's a girl to do? I have told him time and time Where the magic lies Whether booze or lack of brains He...

Easter Part 1: X Marks the Spot
X marks the spot, the darkest stain, when man slew God, born King to reign. No other blood could pay the debt, so lamb hung punctured while mother wept. X marks the spot, where on deaths best day, life seemed to lose, hope fade to grey. But it is finished, all heard Him sigh, was no resignation, but...

X Marks the Spot
X Marks the Spot It’s the 19th consonant, 24th letter, of the alphabet, A Teachers’ markings, for wrong answers on a test! A Greek numeral representation for, the number ten! An unnamed or unknown, person, place or thing, Used to remove or cancel, a word of unnecessary need, A movie rating to discourage viewing, by unsuspecting teens! It’s an algebraic exponent...

Written: by Tom Wright January 2015 My memory, Is a site inhabited By a few shallow graves, For no painful matter have I interred, That Satan doesn’t periodically excavate it. He’s like an aging dog, digging up old bones Even when I displace to another location, He shows up marking an x on the spot Give me the person with burning desire, And...

Once a year, it's the season, I fear That lures us three, to the loch Were we rent a boat, in earnest we hope To catch all the fish, that they stock McGee, he was rowing, I told him, "Start Slowing" For here, looks like a good spot The anchor cast in, by our big strong friend, Finn I'm just glad he...

A Flower Marks the Spot
Not to be forgotten Never to be peacefully laid to rest Memorials for the fallen abound They are reminders that Pull at the heart strings And make everyone think Of the shortness of living An irreversible loss that can never be regained Nor allowed to be forgotten Is marked for posterity Street corners and roundabouts Are enshrined with flowers Tributes to those Loved but always taken so...

X Marks the Spot
Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine; Your heart will be mine. You will make me walk the plank; Because on your love I can bank. Me heartie, I be coming for you. Brave a cutlass battle, through and through. Secret isles we will go a-sailing. Give me another kiss, never failing. Land ahoy, here I am looking for your treasure. A map...
