Premium Member Mates Rate

There’s a man that comes from Margate
Who has a massive passion for cake
He grew very large
Bigger than a barge
Now as a boat he charges full freight.

If you’re a friend, you can go mates rate
But only if you come with some cake
A sponge cake will do
A gateaux or two 
And to Timbuktu he’ll contemplate.

AMERICAN GENOCIDE

America's genocide, by way of abortion, drugs and other ways unseen. 
America's genocide looks clear to me, non-Americans are growing and have a high birth rate, making them not suffer genocide. 
America should allow for free day care, allowing women to have options if they need, just enlarge the schools to include daycare.
America should put its unborn first, making way for a higher birth rate. 
America's genocide looks like a plan to make Americans suffer loss, loss of family members, loss of voices, because they are a smaller and smaller groups have less voices.
America should put its people first, and allow for free stuff, like free college, free trade school, free day care from birth forward. 
America's freedom is always at stake, voices are the way to protect freedom, any killing of its people is genocide for America. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.


Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and Mr Rate of Change in Velocity

Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and Mr Rate of Change in Velocity.

Mr Rate of Increase of Speed and 
Mr Rate of Change in Velocity took advantage of
Mr Machine for 
Increasing the Speed and 
Energy of 
Charged Particles for 
being too agreeable. They have 
too much expression of 
acceptance in them and 
too much applaud of 
praise type in 
them.

Premium Member Watching Green Grass Grow


Standing on this hillside,
Watching green grass grow,
Have nothing to decide,
Just letting time go.

O, there is something great,
With watching grass grow,
It’s  special, yeah, first-rate,
Why, cause I say so.

Then, there is the blue sky,
Way, way up above,
And song birds on the fly,
Flood my heart with love.

You might think I’m lazy,
But that just isn’t so,
You might think I’m crazy,
No, just living slow.

It might help to be told,
So you understand,
I’m past eighty years old,
Doing best I can.

Not complaining, mind y’all,
Happy to walk slow,
On this side of a pall,
Watching green grass grow.


Premium Member blind date is second rate

in my current manic state
I do not hesitate
to throw away my fate
walking off is my date

not a potential mate
identify source of hate
to silliness I equate
that guy was second rate

pretty sure you can commiserate
for your last blind date
was not totally great
book writers collaborate

publisher may have to wait
send a teaser as bait
this guy was named Nate
Not my ideal blind date

Rate Calulation

Chagisite or helium3
mined for the future of
the World. Poor people
grunted hearing the report
while the wealthy
smiled and had dreams of
extraction
and manufacturing
"his smile was so wide
it made a noise"
2 protons and one neutron.
asphyxiant potental in the energy field
radioactive isotope is ideal fuel for the
operation of a fusion reactor
fusing helium-3 with deuterium.

reactors to move and create energy!"

Premium Member First-Rate Poetry

Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?
Or born thugs who hide them as a mystery.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Scare daylights out of them in memory.
Roaring a chainsaw as they reach your door.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?

It was a first rate Finnish firetrap
Anyone who stayed was a big sap
I would have to be dead
To lie in that bed
Place not safe enough to take a quick crap

Premium Member Surreal Pulse Rate

From a gem-encrusted window’s moonlit sash,
I peer vacantly on monetesque impressions,
 as they wander every ink shade hue  pathway.
bag lady street hail loner, 
water colour lachrymose plight,
 across the spillway nights-cape,
cul-de-sac of shadow flitting,
 sprites begging  to be daubed,
 on some genie artist’s  easel.
surreal  urban pulse rate ,
spooky  ghost form atom charge,
 of  tomb laden solemness,
sodden eerie platform where,
 my silver bob tail auntie,
 booked her  tickets to southern rustic idylls.
she sang of autumn sunset blight, 
its wan perusal o’er moisture ashen realm.
her final year on earth evoked dichotomy,
 defying dissertation on that grey stone bridge,
between a luminous parade of diamond,
 glitter and mirrorball municipal,  
sandwich filler to that lamb,
 of many bleats amid lush pastures,.
blossom facial hyacinth relation,
 who once did eyelash blink,
 those natural world Edens flowing,
 thru her lyric laden pysche.
Alas that end of term eviction, 
lifespan tenure landlord surreptitious,
 in their reach cast a mural,
 strain upon this tower block,
 mythic folklore woman

Premium Member At Any Rate, It Will Be Fast Moving

At any rate,  reading a novel 
a slow-moving French drama 
doesn't grab my interest.
Indulge me,
by the time I get to the middle 
it will be fast moving.
Will they end up together?
It will be, if it is meant to be.

 Poetry Contest:'AT ANY RATE, IT WILL BE FAST MOVING'
Sponsored by:	Julia Ward

At Any Rate

At any rate, it's going to be epic  
Its going to be amazingly bold
Awesomely cool
Just plain right legendary
It'll be twisted
It'll be renounced
It'll be (for lack of a better word)
Flumongous!

Oh No, At Any Rate I Will Be Fast Moving

At any rate, it will be fast moving, 
especialy faster than a flower blooming , 
At 12 I  can rhyme faster than metro booming,
 Saw somone , thought it was my friend , but it waas just my poetry words at the end, i talked to them they said they are fine but then i got arrested for a fast talking fine , but to get out i have to pay a dime . But too bad i only have 1 nickel and 4 pennies of mine .
