Premium Member Alarming

The alarm clock isn’t going off;
    it’s dead there on the stoop.
I fear the feral cats
    were in the chicken coop.

Alarming

Alternating, adjusting accuracy.
Allowing, accepting alarms.
Announcing, albeit alluding to
Actions, of arrivals arriving.

The question seems pure botheration

   Until the alarming realization
   That many ask it about Asians

Rat Traps

Many rats 
Capturing my kitchen
An alarming menace 
To end up at once 
Going for a trap is the answer 
But selling my cat is a question

Well mannered and disarming
Until his conquests found out
He was a lout
The stories they told were alarming

Maddening day-and night!
Of an ear's fright
Pleasant route's harness bells.
Now and piercing, roadways'
Alarming brays.

It gives an illusion of purity
when it sinisterly scorched away sight.
Leaves existence lost in obscurity.

Catastrophic Dreams

sinister thoughts
total bizarre
alarming 
where to go ?
if the night's rude
dreams are all mean
sleepless nights, no peace.

Call it fear or premonition.
My dreams recur at an alarming rate.
Think I'm falling for fall.

Premium Member Gloomy Skies

Falling hail
Through the gloomy skies
The dark clouds
Formed beyond
Alarming is the despair
Crying with thunder

Even though I have accepted lovesick.

Premium Member Prince Charming

there once was a prince who was charming
his good looks were not at all alarming
	he had the flaming hots
	for a maiden ersatz
he nonetheless found her disarming

Biased

There is a fast voice
echoing like a screech
alarming
that nothing now night
or a beast could hunt
now turn
or reverse the bear
since we are some fair
ones free.

The Question

The world is a stream of veneers.

Pierce through them and witness its truths.

Some alarming, some inspiring.

Often afraid of their realizations.

Can we bear it?

Uninformed

There was a wicked woman known as Jill
who fell in wild love with handsome Bill.
His looks were quite charming,
but violence alarming.
Late Jill wasn't aware looks can kill.

The Roman Emperor Who Had Nothing To Cluck About

In the annals of Rome the least glorious
was an emperor named Honorius.
Though Rome's plight was alarming
he spent his time chicken farming,
a pursuit which made him notorious.

Marilyn was cute and charming
Although her eyelashes were quite alarming
They were thick and extremely long
Good job, her eyelids were young and strong
Others found this quite disarming

Alarming Perspectives!

Alarming Perspectives!
Across a dark void
Point to point world-strangeness's.
Life-lit, more feeble.

One heart's from another
Colder perhaps still
For emotional distance
As unbridgeable.

Politicians Are Refusing

Politicians Are Refusing

To do things, politicians are refusing,
And like time bomb needing defusing;
Always on break;
For goodness sake;
This is highly alarming and not amusing.
