He was no engineer! He thought he
was smart but he was actually foolish.

One of his Gal Companions told
him to stop breathing on her candy bar.
She liked Mars candy bars and he she said to him
to stop breathing on her candy.
He got an idea from that!

Sipping from nature's cynosure duct
as yearning subtly for sweetness
quaint wings of golden glass.
lifelong square keenness
barely seen but loved
drifting nearby

this winter
it feels peaceful
grasping the instant

Premium MemberScanning The Internet

She hides in her room, scanning the internet,
searching all the dating sites for her soulmate.

Feeling empty is a gut-wrenching feeling;
and this fledgling's broken wings require healing.

My home is in the hottest jungles
And the sandy desert wastes so dry.
Where scanning buzzards circle and cry.

My home is in the frigid mountains
And huddled on shores rocky and damp
Where scanning ravens circle my camp.

I am

Scanning

When night will not speak 
and shoes will float on the water;
legs of truth will not move.

Latched to absence 
unreasons held the hands of time.
I stopped believing in myself.

The genome had come in a bottle.
when the virgin son was killed in a raid.
The mausoleum will not accept the shroud.

The priest will pay the moon,
for the
