Premium Member Midway I
When all the stars from Heaven fell to Earth, a light was quelled beneath the mantled dawn. The aftermath lent anger in rebirth when apathy was scorched by Nippon brawn. A swift emergence reckoned in retort by orchestrating strength to rise as one. In magnitude, a Nation would consort collectively, avenging what was done. The fervor spires to stir a Nation’s zeal, but grievous...

Then through the mist, the Sun was set ablaze and all beneath its realm fell to their knees. ‘Twas but a fire that filled the coming days as mortal ashes wafted through the breeze. Her wreckage wailed in bellowing ascent then slowly disappear amongst the clouds. The blackened hulls began their dark descent to rest in peace beneath their tidal shrouds. The...

As frothing wakes unveil a racing tide a frontal surge unleashed intended taunt, ‘twas but a strafe to lead the prey outside then strike a blow amidst the faring jaunt. To draw first blood, then front them with a force superior to what it can endure would lend to truce and ever change the course thus, leaving all the...

Looking back over my shoulders, I gather that I have come Halfway across the river of mystery, And staring at me from behind my back Were the sullen faces of all my memories! Some were etched in glass clouds Some were in fumes Some in books, Some in spoken poetry While some were etched upon faces Which I could not recognise But which stared at me As...

On the Midway
Dedicated to a Dental Hygienist who cleaned my teeth while I was working at the Fair. She requested I write a poem for her and that she was related to the Hatfields and McCoys. The most gigantic smiles can be seen on the bustling midway of a fair. With laughter and screams of excitement, no other...

Clamor of the midway delights our ears Calliopes from the old merry-go-round, Shouts of the barkers, games one hears Clamor of the midway delights our ears, Squeals of children, roller coaster fears Combine to make up that special sound, Calliopes from the old merry-go-round Clamor of the midway delights our ears. Written August 22, 2022...

The Midway Bench
Midway up and down I have met this gentleman crying Sobbing with grief abound Nerves popping like rivers He sat on the bench next to me Holding his swollen head Grace to Grass I have fallen, said he! The bench where now I sat A happy bubbling puppy Celebrating how high I came To sit on this bench, where he too sits Looking...

Lost in the ocean amidst an endless sea, Hanging around my neck is a locket and key, Picture dwells inside no big mystery, Portrait of you, but it belongs to me, Can I have a little longer choking back the tears, Wishing I could hold you need to have so near, Night time is falling moonlight starts to glow, I open up the locket, never...

Midway Scarlet November Corridor
Lustrous laureled leaves in autumn silently reap, Brown bland blisters of trampled grey soil in bay, Glorious golden glee blankets my dreams in sleep. Withered warm whispers in wet pastures seep, Midway merging November winds to Winter neigh, Lustrous laureled leaves in autumn silently reap. Thousand tattered treasures revive slumber deep, Calm crispy corridor covers secrets on the way, Glorious golden glee blankets...

To beautiful glorious Hawaiian Midway Island I am bound. Terrific hope in my heart, and an old 70’s boom-box for sound. You cannot stop me. Headed for the ocean, I want to feel alive! Then I will ask my grandma. She does not care that I am only five!...

Midway, Mountainside
I stretch lazily in the morning sun- awakening to pure mountain air mingled with herbs and flowers. the mist gives a magical hue to fresh greens and pinks of the garden beyond the gate. the stream rushes by with resonance, chasing the mountainside down to the Mattole then the Pacific pounding the cliffs below. my...
