three nines fine
The Spews of Erebus
Our desire unites us
that our greed and ambitions
might be heard as prays
to a concerning and considerate God
Might the Spoils of discovery
find sceince as profitible
as it is interesting
they cheered and toasted him
not knowing what was before them. Said one
in full opposition of the others. He sheilded his
lanterns at night

To the Nines
Dressed to the nines, but with a lethal twist,
her cover blown, enacts her exit plan.
Those lips, a deep vermillion, never missed;
cotillion entrance stops hearts for a span.
A needle in the bracelet at her wrist…
With subterfuge to rival a MacBeth,
a poise belies her young and tender age.
Bare balanced on a blade ‘twixt life and death,
a china

Dressed To the Nines
Welcome winter month into my little haven of dreams and joy
your rouge cheeks and your fresh air kisses will do us all good
Let me worship in your ice rink of fun and chatter with my friends
while I sip on cocoa from a foam cup and share a story or two...
Winter tide greetings

The Not-Nice Nines
The "Not-Nice" Nines
If ones are
Wonderful
Twos and threes
Are terrible
Fours are
Fantastic
Fives are
Freaky
Sixes go
To school
Sevens
Are cool
Eights aren't
A fool
And nines
Are not nice
They are
Cold as ice
They shut down
Won't suffice
They will not
B enticed
The "not-nice" nines
They are not fine
They do not
Give u a sign
What to do
To have a clue
Who is who
Or if it's true
The "not-nice" nines
Show their behinds
They do not shine
But they

Nines To Mine
Waking by the peace of sleep, walking through my nightmares.Dreaming when the sun shines on my face, endless by forever screaming.Walls made of clay, closing in, trapped by what makes nothing seems to be the fake of day. Who makes sense when senseless is the price i have to pay, that does not mean i

When Life Is Seen In Nines
The sun shone bright and the wind was cool
On the road to that place, I was ecstatic
Expecting the nine of all that life can drool
Now and then I did dream of a picnic
With my host, the prince charming of my dreams
Laughing in love was no more made of whims
Never did I see behind this

The Magic Nines
The mystical number nine,
its magic, is not by design.
Its magic speaks
