Premium Member The Lobster Hunt By Omar Rayyan Omar
Have its lobster claws times two pincered off One way sticks of this crustacean’s underwater trap? Eight leggedly it gallops off among arthritic, bulbous trees. And waves its spiny tail to cover up its tracks. Dogs have joined the spirit of the game, Spaniels with foreheads as regally as high As their master princess on a unicorn And will play this pint...

Omar Appears
Yesterday as I was going to my chair I saw a cat not sleeping there! He was’t asleep there, again today Oh how I wish he’d not be away. At home at last after beers - three (or four or five) Certain, I can’t be The cat was’t waiting there you see, When I looked both in and out The cat...

Omar Khayyam
If a loath of bread is all In a day What lies of the village the nun Among the keeper words well While intense of the spirit Enhance of the vision to Know less but to know more just Just of the thought of day....

Premium Member Omar Khayyam
Heed the vivid voice of Persia, Echoes of truth of song and wine; Yield most candid bold amnesia. Observe sure proof in touch divine, Mingle and see the face of morn, Align your ways to greet great light; Rise up and be one with sweet dawn. Keep primal play in fond insight, Hurl rubais here in verse refrains, Ask for the will to follow...

Ruba’i*: Umar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam*, Omar son of Ibrahim, the tent-maker Words awoke on the retina of the astronomer Unknown aeons piled dark energy upon dark matter Astral bodies all strung like sea shells in the firmament What old Khayyam saw was not what was seen by the Maker! • Omar Khayyam, d. 1131, was a renowned mathematician-astronomer poet of old...

Omar—2
Give me something to chew, a savage numbness is engulfing my brain. Water level was rising and the time of rented happiness was over. Pheromones were showing true likeness in hate, violence was brilliantly portrayed and death was hideous. Attachedment assumes a blast, stares me in empty eyes, hurling silence with invisible force. Give me something to drink like moonlight. It is very hot here. I am walking downhill to...

The Ruby-Yacht of Omar Khayam
A tom bell version of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam"; (In hopes of enticing our beloved Ruby Metzger back to Soup) Omar K. always had his way... Multi-millions from Arab oil, He sat back and self-pampered He'd never had to toil...
