Premium Member Ripe For the Picking
In the infancy of spring, An apple orchard raid. The trees are bearing blossoms, Teeming with fruit; Some ripe ones on the ground. The gang, excited and well-prepared. Jimmy is up one tree Shaking the branches As apples fall every which way. Apples here, apples there, Apples everywhere! His friends get busy picking them up. There's more than enough To fill up all the buckets...

Ripe Time To Hate Kate
From time to time sets a bait, Her patience she makes sure wait; Over issues would she skate: In sweet words the tempting state And seek to mask thy sad fate! It is not spurious her bet; Her marked gift is a glass plate: Something surely at real stake; Time for you to right steps take, Kate's to-be-voiced favors fake! So, now it's clearly a...

Reach Up Again
Reach up again, for things don't look As they seem, focus your sight From a higher place, for your true identity Is in the spirit realm. Grab hold in a new way, your spiritual gifts and callings Rejoice in the innermost being, we are crossing over Into our promises, into our advancement, Our barns are filling up, our healing is on the...

Unripe Ripe Men
A dog that is feeding on milk Won't go all days been fed by an ilk When situation makes him bilk Then the dog won't be as fine as a silk A ball at the back of the net is a goal Two balling on bed must have become a soul With the one that is in control Pleasurably drilling the hole Two...

Premium Member Tree of Oranges
A day’s routine so easily holds me captive. I confess to mindless, museless departures, Brainless unpoetic habits so unreflective, That I cannot dwell in momentary textures. But January ripens oranges on my neighbor’s tree, Marking spring’s beginning in California. Midwestern groomed; such play awakens me. Fat, lush oranges tumble all over the area. Bold bright balls, they must be painted, Landing in my...

The Ripe Olives and Red Wines of Florence David J Walker Austere is the way I remember The convent in Florence Perfectly white walls And the small single bed fronted By worn floors from daily kneeling in prayer A simple soup will be served At supper My native guide says Possiamo fare di meglio in città Either way there...
