Premium Member In the Eye of the Beholder-POTD
Quote --The ugly girl cries in front of the mirror, She does not want to adorn herself as no one cares, Till her blind lover tells her how beautiful she looks, She hugs him, kisses him and finds her beauty in him. -- unknown An old sweater, stitched long ago by my wife’s loving hands, might...

Premium Member Heartbroken By Young Love --POTD
I feel your unrehearsed pauses-- the rustle of a blue shirt in leaving a tangy ache your firm lips make, holding back cold, collected words. This rendezvous ... a slow-fire quiver an ending which has it's own interment; and outside, night wrestles with time brittle dew against my eyes, dry mouth licking an estranged bite that reminds me of your frivolity ....

Premium Member Confronting Shadows- POTD
On a dusky evening long time ago, When shadows huddled at every corner, When rain had gone and birds had roosted, You held me close and whispered in my ear; “In your eyes I see, the blue of the sky, In your soul, you hold the depth of the seas, Love swells, like tides on rise, My life, I vow,...

Premium Member GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT- POTD
A wild unpredictable stormy night Harsh wind squeals through window panes Random deafening claps of thunder Lightning illuminates the night sky again Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles Mother nature is enraged tonight Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile Inside the walls of the old stone cottage A sacred wood fire blazes bright Radiating great warmth and infinite...

Premium Member Howling Wilderness - POTD
The path is lost where wild winds press, No compass holds beneath the sky— We walk alone through wilderness. The thorns of time, the weight of stress, The silent trees that do not lie— The path is lost where wild winds press. Regret is thick, and hope grows less, Yet still we look, and still...

Premium Member Love Can Be Grand - POTD
In spring we come out to see life, out from our long cold winter's nap. Bears are so loving not wildlife. Love can be grand. I am your big fun bear asap, you are my fury playful wife, I love to see you in gift-wrap. Tonight we need some fun nightlife, eating fish not from a flytrap, using my big claws not a knife, Love...

POTD June 15 2025 Smoke And Mirrors – Channelling in the Spirit of Edgar Allan Poe When regulation picks at pillaged dreams The searchlight shines its brutal beams As shadows spill its borrowed light. judgement retains its fractured fight. A blind eye turns as life disbands the gavel strikes by unseen hands, The scales unbalanced - Truth? Hard to reach, Sold by madness -...

Premium Member Vampire Bite - POTD
Come closer ears Come closer hearts I'll whisper as the lie departs My lips Will pout My eyes will scan The room surveyed as truthless Scam Devours with teeth Pointed and sharper Than gracious softness when truth Doth scarper The vampire bite Without reflection To veer your soul in wrong Direction Don't tell. It's just Twixt you and me No harm intended just.. Promise me This won't be shared I want the best To pass this reputation...

Premium Member A Scintillating Sunrise- POTD
Brandishing the lightning lance, the sun arrives, The mighty, majestic monarch of the day. Kissing the mouldy mountain rows, he comes Banishing mist and frost from night’s blotched brow. In what rich ruby ring of radiance, he appears Smearing and splotching liquid gold, he gracefully moves With sparkling splashes, the world becomes bright The prompt and punctual rooster raises his raucous...

Premium Member Spring Prism - POTD
Spring Prism Prisms leap From the wombs of raindrops Born on bits of sunshine Spring kaleidoscope In flowing ribbons, A floral bouquet Joined then translated into Flames of crimson roses Beams of orange tulips And rays of new chartreuse leaves Beacons of pale bluebells Purples shafts of hyacinth and lilacs When color trickles into a sunbow Like springs released Bursting into a fountain of rainbows – Light wakes hibernating hues...

Premium Member Deprived Of Your Love - POTD
I can’t rid of the bags under my eyes The crowfeet despise, all were lies, Conjured was an illusion of you Throughout my groping confusion evasive, flimsy A-m-o-r-p-h-i-c, innuendos I was subjected to your derision dissing me relentlessly deriding my appearance, disparaging my intellect as I stumbled and fell into the abyss Mocking doesn’t suit my countenance My lips desert dry, thirsty, parched An amazon...
