Distanced I Dis connect

Disconsolate enuii
I flick the screen alive 
strangers flood my space
they disparage what I use
push their disposable trash

I dismiss the ploys they use
their flashing light displays
the blur of too much choice
disturbed by airbrushed smiles
all those disjointed claims

I distrust their AI games
disquietened by false charm
my silence disconcerts 
so they offer me a deal-
who needs

Premium MemberOrchids If You Please

True highbrows can't hear commoner's pleas
Stuck sitting on their swanky settees
Status fades as affluence recedes
I'd prefer pink orchids if you please

Elitists applaud wealthy reprise
Fake posers deceive masses with ease
Think that they deserve all that they seize
So send purple orchids if you please

Fools imagine themselves on marquees
Those who would toss it all to the breeze
Who can't

Premium MemberTrumpfoolery Skullduggery

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time—Lincoln

Truth’s a slow lumbering giant
As his fools remain compliant
Lies bite and scurry
To a clueless jury
Nurtured to be spoiled and defiant

Premium MemberRx for Halitosis

     I underwent osmosis
        to get rid of halitosis

    Developed a psychosis
        frightening neurosis

    Signed up for group-hypnosis
        just got a diagnosis

     Six plus three is eight
         School is really great

         It’s never been this fine

Premium MemberI Listen to What I Choose

     given my unconventional views
        I listen to what I choose

     donkeys braying, horses neighing
         they’ve really got me swaying  

     to their thunderous declarations of dissonance

S-ociety 
O-f
U-nlisted
P-oets


There's not to many left
But we have been around
Got our share of those N A's
And feeling Kinda down

So we looked to one another
Then we looked down at the list
Some were disappointed
Still others were just P***ed


So I now just propose 
That we make another list
for all those Veteran poets
The ones they seem to miss

Premium MemberHoliday Get Together

A hawk flew high, soaring...
a breathtaking dive and dip  
(Watched I with jealous
eye).  Came a great aerial flip,
leveled to precision glide -- 
my wing-full heart sighed:
Oh, to have wings!  

Short time later, I was indoors,
at the dinner table.  It was Thanksgiving~
Oh~ God, thank you for wings!

Premium MemberSleepers

Why resist, when it’s much cheaper
To admit that life’s a dream
You are just a lifelong sleeper 
Who keeps walking out and in
Sleep provides refuge from sorrow
A small solace from old pain
On a bridge towards tomorrow
Over dreamland rides your train
Waking up is always late
It's a dreamless phase of sleep
In Orwellian deep state
We are human-looking sheep
Everything is
