Premium Member Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny, and Jacqui McShee
I live in hell, because I was given a choice, who ever on earth had the sweetest voice - Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny, or Jacqui McShee? The demons rejoice as in hell, I am bound to forever dangle deciding, Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention or Pentangle?...

Prior to the Afterlife
The ceiling sparkled; I saw the big dipper, then the little one. The painters needed a bigger tip for their creative execution. Without a warning to prepare, a requiem played. The symphony corned all aspects of a so-called classic; muffled screams, vulgar tongues and your tears – Silence doesn’t come fast and I begged for forgiveness and...

As you are my love beneath a full moon a rendered silhouette in splayed light our arms are empty as our eyes consume in wondrous dreams that lay before the night the scent of fragrant love shares its rapture fills the senses with our sensual glance when emotion overtakes and capture we treasure the heart of our jeweled romance how quiet and naked...

Premium Member Three Days Prior
Friday, three days prior; The Son was scourged and bleeding. Sunday, when He rose again- A spotless Lamb proceeded. Friday, three days prior; The Son had cried: “forsaken?” Sunday, when He rose again- The keys of hell were taken. Friday, three days prior; The Son of God was dead. Sunday, when He rose again- Trembling demons fled. Friday, three days prior; The Son was laid to rest. Sunday, when...

Premium Member She Comes Prior To Danger
I am feeling watched again Nothing ominous A nurturing spirit She wants to guide me I sense that she is not allowed A sigh comes from my heart most of my spirit guides are children male children this one is a female; I sense a grandmother figure She comes prior to danger I look at my car keys hesitate to drive...

Just Prior To Lockdown
Evening: empty streets and empty hearts, all seems silent, eerily still, each house a silhouette, a chink of light the only sign of life, curtains pulled tightly shut, as if to keep out the virus, keep out the world. And inside each house,  people are going stir crazy, hoping and praying,  arguing and weeping,  and worrying. I reach my house, see its chink of light at the window, and...

Prior To Commencing Poem, I Dreamt Contretemps Escalating Fusillade
Prior To Commencing Poem, I Dreamt Contretemps Escalating fusillade... Galvanized hotheaded idealists (jaded locals - kindled moderates) nursed oppressive proletarian quavering riot spearheading triumphant utopian voice... whether contrived right here and now, or purportedly fragmented remnant occuring during REM sleep beside the point, asper conjuring atypical bent arising within mindscape, sans garden variety *****sapien. he laments instantaneously forgetting intricate webbed tapestry comprising unconscious manifestations nearly every time reluctantly...

Home Just Prior To a Five Star Hotel Stay
Books strewn on the living room floor Some library, some owned Waiting to be read Drink recipes on the mid-modern coffee table Mostly Tequila based Waiting for other ingredients to be purchased Monthly bills sitting on the couch One overdue maybe? Waiting to be paid Succulents - much too dry Can they really die? Waiting to be watered Eclectic art on the wall A portrait of Chuck...

Prior Days and Distant Moons
PRIOR DAYS AND DISTANT MOONS In early morning misty haze, Where horses stood to graze... I found myself 'neath lodge pole pine, In wonderment and praise. The dismount from my patient steed, Was painful...yes indeed! These aching joints and stiffened knees, Were grateful for reprieve. My prior days and distant moons, Have come and gone too soon! And I'm just wonderin' what to do, To make...

Past, Prior Days
Past Prior Days This is a simply, modified analysis of "For Love of Politics," written by Sally Bedell Smith about both of the Clinton's. Bernie probably has already read this after hearing some of the things he has been saying. We have done things in past prior day Wanting to forget not deserving praise Reduce earnings by increasing production Of total amount of...

Prior President and Husband
Prior President and Husband To anyone of you did it recently occur Either stayed in House or still a Senator Lacking ability after another ability While rapidly on their way to senility. Nomad may be assigned nomenclature From slim pickings emanated caricature In their life not knowing what is prevalent Or friendly fools who have become benevolent. Has been determined attitude is despicable Nervous behavior...
