Premium Member Rosalind and Orlando
Orlando has written a lot of love poetry. Written on leaflets, they have been placed on every tree. Ubiquitous in the Arden woods, they are easy to see. Orlando expresses his love for Rosalind freely. His wording is not good, and his rhymes are lousy. Rosalind now roams these woods, but is not alone. Joining her are cousin Alena and...

Orlando
Tell me, my friend Did it bother you when I cried? When I cried about the risen surface of the end? The end of which has already granted us those who died Those who have died from holding hands with who they choose And those who tasted lips and an alcoholic drink Those who had everything to lose Those who didn’t know...

Orlando and Sandy Hook
Orlando and Sandy Hook Advantage of always take advantage of To do is what a bunch of people love And of course we have heard as of late Congress finds ways for funds to misappropriate. Several of their feelings recently were fixed All four gun control measures now are nixed And instead of into the past each one fade Republicans want to...

The Palpitation of Orlando, Florida
THE PALPITATION OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA (USA) Decimation on its face through mass execution and hate. Just another night out painting the town. No reason to perceive the unsound. Out of the blue moon a gargantuan came into form. In denial of himself, “Oscar” he could be called. His name broadcasted is Omar. He was seeking an award for what he stood...

Hit Me With Your Best Shot - We Are Orlando
Hit Me with Your Best Shot - We are Orlando A rainbow of all the droplets of color, begins to run with a red that bleeds. And from the sky it can mix any palette, instead of parity and one of misdeeds. The drinks are mixed in fun and joy, as lanky men dance Hip Hop in form. So young...

Orlando
we left without thinking of the end and after awhile forgot where we began in between there was a moment and a moment and a moment it went on like that until time collapsed into pearls of water falling from the stone roof of heaven finding their way to your third eye and by surprise (as if there were anything but surprise) it became apparent that our birthright was delight that surrendering was not giving up or giving in but giving...

The Orlando Massacre and Afghan Tragedy
The policy of hate and date, You may not like but it’s the truth, The bitter truth mate! Was it a lone wolf terror or was it a coordinated fight? Who cares since it targeted souls Despised by night. But you are no God to legislate and Decide on fate An act that made an end, To the destiny of a foe and a...

Premium Member When Hell Slammed Into Orlando
Hawk eyed bullet, lamb blood spilling garments of our fractured youth nothing remains virgin or sacred rosaries retreat to martyr tombs. Windfall for green tied politicians a spray of rainbows cracks the air the nest of innocents forever disfigured broken doves in dank despair. Savior and leper nibbling insanity sharing clouds of time and tears passing bottles of rye necessity oozing crosses and wooden skin, The...

Orlando I reach for hands no longer there wince in the wind of hates stench grit my teeth to suppress rage lock my eyes damning my tears That ache…. that empty ache… of needless loss sad sting of violent lash upon the hearts of all wielded by an evil fearful of the power of love’s gentleness John G. Lawless 6/13/2016...

Orlando
Rainbow flags and Pride are slim protection against hate and machine guns. [May the deceased rest in peace and the injured and bereaved have swift recoveries. This hatred must be better combated, or be better managed by those supposed to be protecting us. This could have happened to anyone. Groups that influence losers in society should be better...

For Orlando
Forcibly taken lives for a vicious motive. Shock, terror —blood and tears. Rest the souls in peace, pity those who had lost and solace to alike around. Fear not my brothers, sisters and friends; stand up and fight for who you are— until the Love win over Hatred....

Darkness In Orlando
From what I see on television Darkness has descended on Orlando Death cries filled the air Sorrow became the order of the day We don't yet know If it was a "lone wolf " or a terrorist plot We must mourn for the deaths of those who were only thinking of seeking some weekend...

Orlando Rich
If I were rich I would live in Orlando, Where the sun grooms the watered land, Where busyness is quelled by knowing that, You can always live in another city grand. My Disney poems would be accepted, As part of the scene, the whole shebang, As I would hope to complement Mr Disney, With poetry’s...

This big and little city is so great. It is situated near the middle of the state. The city draws tourists and visitors in a plethora. It has most of what can be found in Florida. This place must be the product of a dream. The “Magic” is the name of their basketball team. The team plays a poised and...
