Rumors abound
All around town
Lily White
Needs a knight
She is tangled
Being wrangled
By the tricky trees
Planted by Peacocks from Leeds
Wolves are down under
Hearing wraths thunder
Drinking Burnley claret wine
Getting ready to do second tier time
In comes the Hammer girl
Wearing expensive pearls
Bought using Gallo credit
Wondering, ‘will anyone get it?’
Message, ‘relegate’
Easier opponents await
Fans will have reason to cheer
Dousing the same expensive beer
As players work on maturing skills
Crunching numbers, paying the bills
Oh yes, who is going to get dropped
Commentating, ‘our season truly was a flop’
Officially closing the show
Taking the athletic production to parts unknown
Goal now ‘will want to come back’
Claiming healed healthy, surviving a relegation attack
Premiere of Persimmon Pureblood
Pennsylvania’s premiere debutante
prettier than a Parisian parasol
persnickety and powdery
poufy, perfumed, perfectly petite
Persimmon practiced her pirouette
pleats parading petals in a perfect circle
Performance of God Was Premiere
God's food will always be found here,
Where performance had been premiere;
With commune;
Stay in tune;
And about His Son does seem so sincere.
God Never Have Denied
Discovered that God I never have denied,
And for me there will always be food inside;
With no regret,
A table set;
Biscuits and better beans should be tried.
Might even find Buster Brown in there too.
Jim Horn
When triangles are equal side angle side;
About Biblical food with God will confide;
With no mishap,
Triangles overlap,
And away from His food we never shied.
Christ provided food which was congruent,
With ways in which we can end up affluent;
His Bible pages,
Are contagious;
Of His cookbook we became a constituent.
May be things about meals that I regretted;
About God's food often fretted and fretted;
Listened for sounds,
From the pounds
Produced on waste that became imbedded.
Always seems like I again got caught
Eating more of my food for thought;
Teeth did fit;
Down on bit,
While wife would become overwrought.
Jim Horn
Am completely open to suggestions.
It was not a hug that I gave you,
I scripted my love in your soul
So we could have a movie to act
For the rest of our lives.
We will premiere it in Paradise,
At the shores of endless bliss
For angels to behold the beauty
Of our love, light and laughter
Noah shown favor
Ark to escape destruction
God’s wrath was to come
Animals, by two
Fowls of the air by seven
To replenish Earth
Eight souls of mankind
Noah, three sons, and their wives
Ark’s door shut by God
First time ere witnessed
Heavens and earth opened up
Deluge upon them
Lifted on waters
Some hundred and fifty days
Then docked on the mount
New life on the earth
Be fruitful and multiply
Fresh promise rainbow
August 30, 2016
premiere
A Victoria in the garden of impeccability
Juliana from the clouds above the sky
I look afar for a merry band of winners
Be a legacy to awaiting offspring i plea
Our reason for seeing the beautiful lost eden again you are
Lancelot in vessel of support i know
Alas, you are a poetry worth writing again
On this road come a travelogue
Nurturing the faith of believing
Who will pay for this dialogue
Unprecedently i trance so high to ink this far
Cheering at the airport is near for you
Home coming a pleasure you will welcome
Eager we are for you to arrive sooner
Knowing that you are indispensible to this habitat
Walk down the challenges in strength
Another hero we have discovered in YOU.
poet :oluremi samuel
To bring forth and take in The debut of lost lines That’s the problem with Houston Come backs are never easy When the rugged steal beneath your feet And a monster takes on a life of its own In the wind was where we wanted to be My grey phone doesn’t have redial While bonding the name so cool Choppy smells of the apocalyptic morning rise As a teacher waxes old and new Frankly in the wind madam Accepting what I did not want Starting a friendship is beautiful thing I think
My heart beats fast from your gaze.
Body trembles, when your voice I hear.
One kiss from your lips, delivers haze.
Thou are the one, I love so clear.
One touch makes our love sincere.
Even if we are lost in a maze,
I give a solemn oath, with no fear.
That our love guides us, out of our daze,
That forever more, I will be near.
This I promise, to you so clear.
My faithful love will truly amaze.
You and I have passion to appear.
Between us our ecstasy, will glaze.
Binding us each new day with a cheer,
Brighter and bolder each new year,
Every second of every hour of our days,
Will show all the Angels that it is clear,
That our desire will incessantly be ablaze,
While being announced upon every sphere,
Our intimacy is magical, we are lover’s premiere.
