Premium Member Meryl the Peril
There is an odious gal named Meryl Go meddling with Meryl at your peril She bites where it hurts And calls it her perks For being an adventurous rebel. Meryl once bit a fella on the neck He said “dear, I only asked for a peck” So peck she then did And charged fifty quid He shot off at once and said “I’ve...

You’re there, right in my face, you’re completely out of place Like a hair found on a steak, you’re a bona fide disgrace You’re an awful apparition and I really want you gone I speak to other people but you’re all they gaze upon I’ve met so many of your kind: and most of them were yella You have...

I never doubted my gliding flight like a baby bird, I have always trusted the free winds of democracy. It offers justice for those whose freedoms are deferred. It grants inclusiveness to those so threatened by autocracy. I am just a poet, still believing synergy has wings, I am just a poet trusting economic popular will, a working-class autarky of mutual...

Premium Member The Glaven In Peril
Too much intervention, by ground shifting machines To devlop some windpower, a results being seen The crayfish are threatened, the flow rate impaired As its ecology is battered, for some millions they dare.' Yes there's cash in the offing, its all good was the blurb.' Forty years we have listened to the green gods; priests Words.' While the weapons are selling,...

The Peril
You are all vehement and gutsy Putting across even the wrong forcefully With vulgarity drawing a bow or curtsy From a righteous man smeared shamefully You care not for truth but to win Teasing an argument to tear down whoever dares With heads coining every justification for sin To wear out the fervency of any man who cares That’s how the...

Premium Member Planet In Peril
Our beloved Planet lies in peril... The Lords of Passion would decree. The weather's getting warmer As any fool can plainly see. But I hate to burst your bubble As Mother Nature takes her course. We be but a temporary infestation That for the moment sallies forth. The ice caps will lose their flavor As they've done many times before. Greenland will shed her icy...

While sailing unimpeded in the sea of hope Sloshing over its expanding silver Like a sailor addicted to the sea Feeling the electric power of waves Unwilling to be restrained An avalanche of despair hit from behind Shattering my Titanic like egg shells I am now brutally ripped apart, Desperately clutching at the shattered pieces How a smiling visage turned sinister In no time...

Premium Member Violence of Mind
Once a nation Supremely white as driven snow, Singularly Christian, white and male, Purely untarnished, and aglow, Grandeur unparalleled in fairytale. Hence a grievance Punitively bold as bloody hellfire, Potently prosecuted in seats of power, Oppressively waged against objects of ire, Prisms of nonwhites seeking justice in the hour. Now a leader Colossally void as sterilized weaponry, Glibly sanctions white phobia and rage, Lethally enflames this...

Party In Peril
When we cut trees They cry When we drain swamps They mourn When we burn grass They weep When we eat cakes They shade tears But they leave a message behind “Humanity we are gone Continue to live, lust and party In the shadow of your own peril”...

Premium Member Beryl the Peril
My auntie her first name is Beryl Put other road users in peril She mounted the sidewalk The pedestrians squawk and report her to Sherriff Merrill The Sherriff puts her under arrest as Beryl says she tried her best But before Beryl kills With her dire driving skills He insisted she retakes her test The examiner discovered that Aunt Beryl is as blind as a bat So...

Chained undulations drew lustful admiration Hungry hands grabbed slender agile ankles " Hey, - let her go. A beautiful lady dancing, Appreciate her", handsome stranger asserted Narelle, ocean haired sequin harem allure, noted Broad shouldered, neatly attired stranger Held clenched fist on table, chest tensed Touches from spectators ceased, she owed him More than brawn, chat churned vivid as current...

in a matter of unsurpassable projection she pulled the trigger did not have a license to kill with her words but exclaimed ‘everything is wrong and it is entirely and exclusively your fault’ not quite so eloquently but she hit home whose home and why no matter what the intent had been causes have consequences ‘I am not going to...
