I’ll play you a tune, that’s what I do, I’ll write you a song, only meant for two. Sing soft lyrics, feel every line, Take your heart places, until you are mine. Dream of tomorrow, words come alive, Like lovers in spring, new aromas arise. Arms wrapped around that sweet body divine, Touch, oh the thought, let’s get lost in sublime. I’ll make...

I gaze at a forest of willow trees beside the sea, Presenting to me lovely meanings of love and beauty In loving a man so deeply that I want him to be with me....

Thor did not live up to his name He was skinny, weak a petite Fontaine Wren, his brother was a Herculean guy Brawny and strapping, he caught many an eye How did you get their names so wrong?

(Feel free to pick your favorite one!) One alternative, after some study, could be a handle like "Dune Buddy". Or we could suggest, without fear of rebuke, an appellation like...

A better name for an octopus? It's tough to make stuff up. We could start with a brand-new appellation. How about a name like "Suction Pup"?! Or perhaps we could start the debate with a numerical tag like "Ocean's Eight". Another name open for discussion would be a handle like "Squid's Cousin". Still another, somewhat grandiloquent, could be the rather pompous "Inknificent". My Scottish friends,...

Birthday greetings! Get out of bed. Go to the river and dunk your head. Eat crawdad dung, until you are really fed. Then crank-call your senile Uncle Johnny Fred. Go skating down the hill on an inner tube. Call everyone names like bimbo, or boob. Eat your lunch on top of plate balanced by an ice cube. Then have your car serviced,...

There is a quick-witted woman I know with three names; her silhouette is a mystery; she's had multiple fragile frames. Many have tried and failed to tame her rather long mane, but honestly, they were lame flames. Her treks motivate her for life’s endless, gruelling games. Called a traveller but never exploring for fame, she isn't one of...

Names carved on a stone A stele made for the dead Denoting the hunters or fighters Chasing to kill innocent animals Or fighting the lives of people For dying brutal or dying cruel I realize they are all in heaven now Both the killed and the killers Each of them has to do a thing In front...

Many poems are about the titles Not the contents Many books are about the titles Not common sense Many stars are about the names Not the distance Many actors about the names Not the actions Nonsense sails And common sense rarely prevails Color does not matter all the time In many situations, it can be characterize As a major sin or a colossal crime Of enormous proportion or...

Do not call me a freak Loser nerd or even geek You may think it's funny but It's like you punched me in the gut Words painful and very sharp More hurtful every time you drop Worse ones every time you speak You really know how to leak The most unkind damaging Remarks that are vanishing My self worth as I grieve In sorrow - I...
