One-Time Visit
Written By: D. Collins 6/18/24 We get a one-time visit through ups and downs of life. Some of them are good, and some cut like a knife. But we still go through it, and somehow outlive it. Jotting down good notes during our one-time visit. We get one journey, regardless of what you've heard. Anyone who's come back, I wouldn't...

One Time
I turned the clock of time to look deeper into the divine; I turned the clock of time to see what is mine. The wheels keep spinning and the machine keeps rolling and I behold an oracle rising up from the sea and it is entering the galaxy guided by a strange satellite with millions...

Premium Member I Fell In Love With Five At One Time
Someone perusing all the lines I penned before this century would surely say that I held sacred five iambic feet, that quatrains and rhymed couplets were my stay! It seemed my mind was programmed to create four lines per stanza, rhymed a-b-c-b. I saw that others wrote in varied styles and over time attempted to break free. I asked myself then, “Must you...

One Time Above a Little Shop
One time above a little shop, An old greengrocer climbed on top, Despite himself he could not stop, The world had changed forever. The fruit of that old grocers loins, Became obsessed with notes and coins, She knew the club she had to join, For she was very clever. Yet not as clever as the man, From council flat in Birmingham, Bought her vision and...

One Time At the Beach
I went to a nude beach one time Where tanning was filling their needs Ronald MacDonald in his prime Showed his buns of sesame seeds That's a crazy way to see a clown But that wasn't the show stopper Heads turned around and jaws fell down When burger King showed his whopper! The Dairy Queen's milk containers Really caused most of the uproar They looked...
