Children.
Carefree offspring,
running amok at play;
mirrors of who I used to be.
Stay young....

Libra
Livid with unexpected rage,
Intended as a cure, 
But fraught with
Ravenous venom,
Antipathy runs amok....

Running amok
Colloidal conspiracies

A Day-Dream
Caressing your face,
on a hammock
Letting the calm calamity 
wreck havoc
Your eyes, your lips, your all
makes my heart run amok...

Let Down
Why do I move so swiftly
from here to there?
My mind runs amok.
I see what is not true.
A message invisible.
Read by my desire
to be in demand....

In our lunar frenzy
We run amok through each others heads
Let's sit back down at this table of giving
And be each others sanctuary
Way into dark...

Liar
My poetry really does suck.
I look for true rhymes, but get stuck.
Though my meter is fine,
When you follow each line
you’ll see that they all run amok....

It is always best that you
Don't forget to duck.

(inspired by Casarah Nance)

Remember-
When a burning passion runs amok
and leaves you smouldering in the rubble
that a heart's made from the shape of two teardrops
and therein lies the trouble....

Premium Member Trapped Colours
colours of rainbow conspired to be free, and run amok, 
dancing wildly on vivid canvas, disjoining from its arched bow, 
elements and spirits gladly soaked them in deep, to shine.

Die Hard Cantigi
Solfatara plays lumen,
Air hypoxic rites death,
Fumarole punches the stomata,
Coldness fired leaves,
Joy!

A run amok storm dragged trunks,
The warrior of plantae,
Majesty of a tropical mountain,
Every berry has glory,
Hail!...

A Lame Duck
It's befitting to call Trump a 'Lame Duck'
Cares only about himself; what a schmuck!
He won't admit defeat
"I WON," he types in tweet
Shame on him. He ran our country amok!

Listen to poem:
Cast the die, tell a lie
with stony face, just in case
you await your fate.
Perchance a circumstance
will run amok your luck
to trace perchance a triage,
to swish your wish 
aligned, belied, beguiled
a happenstance prance
a dream perchance beseem...

Premium Member Note To Trump
================================

You snuck into our House as a fraud,
ran amok through our values rough shod

and made 'witch hunts' the sitch,
because YOU ARE A WITCH.

But now, you've been evicted, THANK GOD!
