Just hours before now
we were landscaped together
my 3 sons null, void
fateful meetings of goodbyes
Solitary confinement

More Alley Tea

The wife works with a bunch of jerks
But claims the job has lots of perks
To hear them all
Give her a call
And hear her answer, "Joe's Tool Works!"

We Will Rock You

WE WILL ROCK YOU

Growing older
Pushing his boulder
Sisyphus retired to the valley 
And there he yearned 
To be the ball return 
In the bowling alley

Easter In Nonsense Alley

John and Jack Bunny are snoozin'
For Easter will keep them both cruisin'

Cute, puffy white tails
Big, tall ears like sails

Hippity hop!  Those kids are droolin'

Premium Member the alley

the alley retains memories and secrets
things she has observed would straighten my hair
murder, mayhem and mischief
I sense her wiseness in the silence
appreciating her confidentiality

Alley Thrown

Man straightened by the dead light pole, how does your life these streets?
Scratching metal helps you sleep and no rules are given to you king
unrecognizable your thrown; no one pays you any mind.

'delusion In a Dark Alley'

In a dark alley; eating peaches, pears and plums
Awful friendly with hysteria
You should hear his jokes and his stereo
A self-induced recluse whom on a weary whim
Decided it was best he read the clues again

Premium Member Locusts in the Alley


In the old graveled alley, overgrown with weeds, at footfall, locusts sprang and leaped, triggering a riot. But soon their swelling motion subsided like fried popcorn on a skillet.
Form: Verse

Wuyi Alley

Beside the Zhuque Bridge wild flowers bloom lonely, 
On the Wuyi Alley the setting sun beams serenely. 
The swallows that once nested in halls of the noble,
Have now flown into the simple homes of the humble.

Premium Member Alley of My Dreams

Chinese dragon returns from alley of my dreams
Uncommon color guard in the form of a kuku bird
Artistic ingenuity parades forth in a new truth
Young masked beauty glows with scarlet mask
Feelings of hope and optimism in form of a love triangle

Premium Member In the Alley of Dark

in the alley of dark 
quietly I walked suspicious 
heard eerie howls of the winds voice 
wagging my tail cautious  
I purred and I ran away scared 


(a dream)

Premium Member Mixie Beebee of Stray Cat Alley

Mixie BeeBee of Stray Cat Alley
was a creature who would dilly dally
she teased the toms all along the way
making her tail swish and sway

as alluring as tuna fish
a pretty feline, exotic dish
backyard cat said Grandma Ellis
saying this because she was jealous?

In the Alley

There was no grand sunset 
painting the sky with 
orange and pink hues. 
no stars shining down
from Heaven, 
no moon to light the way
to salvation
no one to pray for his soul
in the cold and dark
as he lay down
closed his eyes
and said goodbye 
to the memories

Premium Member I Was Here

Graffiti          fades          from          the          wall,
            Alike              the           alley        after          dark.
    "I                  was          here!",     screams      the
        Wrecking         ball,        leaving          your      mark.

Tar Pit Serenade

Love sinks low,singing-
A duet between drowning hearts.
Her smile is the last breath before the tar closes in.
I play my guitar till the strings blisters,
Till the bubbles stop breaking the surface.
Still,the Cheshire Cat keeps playing,
Because silence is the deepest pit of all.

Dark Alley

Unlikely bond,  
Uncertain union,
Midnight trails,
Strangers in the chamber,
Uproar resident,
Down the twilight road,
Dawn stands aloof,
Living with uncanny elements, 
 Standing amid the crashing sea,
Waiting for tranquil waters,
The dawn of perfect light.

Premium Member Tornado Alley

A violent vortex of velocity

A vacuum of voracious vices

Such feral ferocious ferocity

Driven by devilish devices


Troubles double when it doubles its haste

Caught up in currents of circumstance

Rumbling rabble through the rubble and waste

Dancing its devil's dark dervish dance

Premium Member Monday, Through Alley Slinks

Monday, damp and gray, through alley slinks
  disturbs the peace with cursed work-week
Her chill invades my pillows and sheets
  noxious fumes from asphalt streets

I wrap myself in blankets tight
  clinging to what's left of night
Against my relentless, ringing foe
  ~ at alarm clock's crow, to work I go
