Once a whale
Once a whale spent a day at the beach, eating one too many pies of peach. Became bloated in the sun, to a weight over a tonne, now has an itch she can't bend to reach...

Premium Member Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night
Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night, We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path, But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same, It softens, deepens, learns to...

Premium Member I was once a window, a gateway to the unbounded light of the sky
I was once a window, a gateway to the unbounded light of the sky, Through which rays danced like spirits in the midst of a clear night, The moon bowed to whisper to me the secrets of stars forgotten by time, And people looked through me, their eyes full of dreams and hidden longings, Each gaze was a thread...

Premium Member I was once a Rose Blooming in Brooklyn
If I tell you I saw a rose blooming in the heart of winter, you might not believe me, especially if you're among those who struggle to stay afloat. But that rose serves as a powerful reminder of something we’ve forgotten. For me, it represents resilience and hope. During summer, I often ponder whether we ever...

Premium Member Once A Year
Once a year in the early spring I scatter some reclaimed seeds from a section of yard where the wild flowers grow -- a reserved place, there left unattended how they bloom, all on their own where the wild flowers bloom, a welcome to early bees and butterflies the old black cat seems to like them as well a nestled, deadly shadow, all comfy in a lap of blazing, garnished nature...

Premium Member Once a Year Only
Santa and wife dress in sexy gear Their gift to each other once a year The air turns electric blue With antics they get up to And moans and groans ring out loud and clear. Santa’s work is done, it's time to rest Yet his rest time, is time of the best He is in fine festive cheer Time to spend with her...

It’s Only Once a Year
On a chilly late December’s morn, we praise the day our savior was born, by placing a bunch of toys underneath a tree. It seems like we’ll never reach the end, of just how much money we will spend, trying to buy a place to spend eternity. We will say we went to church to pray, but when all the people looked...

Justice Was Once a Nice Queen
Celebrate, celebrate having known her, her shallow depth and deep cold-heartedness the seriousness that was ever there, the facade, the pump and pain. Celebrate the knowledge you are privileged to share, with your family and friends, knowledge through unsavory remembrance. Justice is but a walking shadow, always whispering high tide, fresh bread. And I have to yell back, no pennies, Prima Donna!...

Memory Was Once a Moment
Memory Was Once A Moment A moment is present, but a memory is past. A moment is transient, but a memory is permanent. A moment is relative, but a memory is absolute. A moment is lived, and a memory is created. A moment is a fleeting ray of sunshine, warmed by the praise of others and a memory...
