Premium Member Do I have the Nerve
White foamy waves like a spider’s web Rising out of the water, surrounding the point The cliffs are darker at this time of year No breeze today, so this is a natural spring Irish spring, how marvelous I wonder about the dangers of getting closer Dare I try my feet on these giant rocks? What if I plunge into the depths of...

Premium Member True colors
A recent brush with death, makes most people reflect.. They stop and think of God, not just give him a nod.. It's been less then two weeks and Trump's back to nasty tweets.. True colors flaring again, slings mud at Joe Biden. This man has got the nerve, "Biden's not fit to serve". President Biden deciding not to rerun, not enough for some Republicans.....

Beware of our nerve asinine
Not all cheers come but from cloud nine, Nor every vintage is good wine, Nor just in fools’ fiefdom Fools are fonts of wisdom, Beware of man’s nerve asinine. _____________________________________ Tongue-in-cheek | 01.03.2023 | epigram/limerick ...

Nerve the Gifted
Nerve is a mind neatly lit, In many things neatly fit, His best weapon Dancing Wit; Quite a great deal of The Writ. He knows how to with them hit, As his rivals their teeth grit For being made to seem Nit Wit. A thousand brows Nerve would knit, His strength against champions pit, Cause them to with force down sit All challengers in...

Premium Member On My Last Nerve
Old curmudgeons who poke and prod Acting like they are always near to God, Having nothing of value to do or say Admonishing me to kneel and pray, Get on my nerves, and make me mad, And when they go, I’m awfully glad. I do not admire their toxic attitudes, These geezers who truck in platitudes To think you, hypocrite, know of love Your...

Verve of My Nerve
History, forgotten element of man`s life Adage of forgiving and forgetting Messing and proceeding on the solemn assembly Expunging and blotting life-long terribly but carefully committed and covered-up tracks. If at all the inanimate had ears and eyes We would all be at ransom for our lives If mistakes could be made up and rounded up to significance of our lives humanity would erode...

Premium Member Bragging Iguana Was On My Last Nerve
The bragging iguana was on my last nerve. He ran into a cloud after he took a fast swerve. He’s such a show off! For an inventor I said. He had invented a tea kettle hot air balloon bed. His invention traveled all over the meadow today. Some easily influenced children were shouting hooray. I was annoyed by his attitude; he...

You'Ve Got Alot of Nerve
After shutting off the bedroom lights by closing my eyes; I see sparks of fireworks in my mind thinking synaptically. It's not in anyway a day to celebrate nor holiday, so making me more to think feeding with fuel thoughts forgotten, now done brought up from depths not sought; for caution when stepping on the edge of what's surely the deepest depths of my mind's...

Premium Member Some People Have a Lot of Nerve
I’m tempted to backhand the ones who call us sixty-somethings old or elderly. How dare they use such terms describing me? Infuriating!

First Day On Your Last Nerve
The books are off the shelf Teachers are heading to the nearest coffee machine Noises echo the elongated hallways Time has betrayed you Loud thuds of lockers slamming abruptly Could it be? School is currently back in session The dreadful feeling of the first day Routine is once again included into your lexicon As sure as the moon smiles,...
