An agnostic already all assuming about
Antiquated adulating adulterated arrogance.

So who can you describe with words
all beginning with the same letter?

Anticipated and Antiquated

Several times God has substantiated,
What by us always must be anticipated;
Message newfound;
Appreciate sound;
Even our arrogance ends up antiquated.

Antiquated memories, 
Are like bleached out photographs;
Neither portrays an accurate picture of our past,
But how our minds remember it
After being altered by time;

Grandpa's old rocking chair lies varnished in the altar of my antiquated dreams.

Here’s a flash of infernal news
that will no condemned soul amuse.
Tortures long in practice but antiquated
have now all been newly updated.
The mastermind and torturer? Who else
but the master Dante Alighieri himself
and who well beyond a bungling apprentice
proved he was the master of his practice....

With an array of foreign stamps 
send me a postcard message please;
Take me through those vibrant cities!
Let me see all the rustic camps,
stories of long hikes and leg cramps;
Don't leave out forest oddities!
With an array
of antiquated outdoor lamps 
brighten a dark dead of night breeze;
Show me scenery that revamps
with an array....

5000 Years from the Now We Know
David J Walker

5000 years from 
the now we know
Who will unearth our bones 
For another final examination

As the scholar's flock 
To the dig site 
For their share of the 
Trove of information

At best
They may only guess
At what were our expectations

With antiquated technologies
And 21-century information....

everything I wish would subside
somehow continues to linger
trying to take it all in stride
to push through and endure
      self-doubt is always ample
      regret is unsophisticated
      my fears are never subtle
      although they are antiquated
at nightfall my thoughts are somber
why is contentment so elusive?
but in the sweet morning hour
my thankfulness is conclusive...

Darkened translations emerge from the night.
Fledglings tarnished as they hide from the light.
Parvenue casualties from antiquated sin.
Depraved menage is how it dared begin.

Retribution will one day be poignantly felt.
Severely dispensed, his wrath will be dealt.
No one can hide from their diabolical display
Destruction will find thee and bring your end of day.

Tribute to my Rhyming friends


We may not be young, any more
But there, was a time that we could write
The Sun would knock upon our door
And the moon visit us at night

Sure now, we seem antiquated 
Rhyming as we do
The new poetic styles and verses    
May make us look like fools

But given time, seasons change
And all things come around
And rhyming will once again
Be the Poetry, that abounds...

Morning Thoughts
Written: by Tom Wright
5/14/2016

Sifting through the ashes of time,
 I brush against antiquated memories & unspoken words.
Words which were intended but lacked impetus;

I come across faces I can’t recall,
And find myself perplexed on why they exist.

Age has placed a barrier that separates me,
Leaving me to feel like a foolhardy visitor in my past;

UNSUPPORTED CODE DONNYBROOK
Egregious Nonplus:
A hopeless cause.
Comfortless, lachrymose
A mutinous repause.
Recalcitrant – All love is now absent
From grinding flagitious jaws.
Treasonous laws!
Justice? Just because.
We are allies of chaos.
This lost cause
Is your failure
Your loss,
Not ours.
We are diamonds of the future.
Your antiquated assumptions,
Are just archaic flaws....

Puddles of rainbows drag across the floor
becoming a perfect shade of pitch black;
Much stronger than anything seen before 
a firestorm is now more than a comeback;
Knock out punch ideology can pack 
has left the past severely brain damaged;
Nothing is left here that can be bandaged,
repurpose antiquated for brand new;
Reinvented pools can now be restaged;
Bright choppy waters to jump right in to....

The bottles sat, empty, clean,
timelessly transparent upon the purity
of a chalk walkway;
antiquated memories 
of morning milkmen linger.

The hollow hourglass shapes 
lacking the grains of time,
reflecting, and refracting lemon light
dollops of cream, buttermilk dreams.

Devon Red herds await 
the bottles empty state,
to fill with froth, to zing tin pails,
to drowse to the lilt of a milkmaids’ aire....

ROSY PLACE
An apple of eye is the antiquated wooden chair,
It  makes my father feel proud as a great heir,
But members in our family usually viewed it as 
floccinaucihilipilification that made father daze!!

Takes to his action is reading the newspaper
from the deeply-loved seat when daybreak is a draper,
Donned on that day scowled expression on his countenance,
streaked the newspaper with mud coupled his fury glance!!...

Glory of Being Prosecutory

What I want is for this to be a story,
About commandments and their glory;
Be a great guide,
With much pride;
Purpose by God is to be prosecutory. 

Jim Horn

Seems to be the major activity
in court these days.

P.A.W.N.

In war…

P eople
A re
W orth
N othing

It is the most ludicrous concept imaginable 
The idea itself is antiquated
Killing each other is overrated 
The power of peace is understated 

Yet we continue on 
Power and blood are sadly related 
It’s the knowledge of war I wish faded 
Perhaps you think I sound jaded 

Our hatred of each other is tremendously dated
Because of us I no longer feel elated

There’s an omnipresent dusk
Hugging an antiquated earth 
Whispering "dust to dust"
In the deserts of our dearth
Where was the morning mist
Billowing from swollen skies
Raining heaven's glory
Into the corners of sable eyes
When was humanity lost
To a thicket of omnipotent fog 
Crucifying the stigma of wonder
Impaled by evolution’s final cog
There’s an infinite question
Roaming the halls of space
Searching for a tomorrow
That no earthly dusk can erase...

What is a land line? I asked twenty-seven third graders.
None of them knew, it was an antiquated term in 2022.
I told them that if they had phones that stayed in one spot…
That is a landline, we used to have them all over, believe it or not.

They did not believe me. They thought I was teasing them.
They could not imagine a phone attached by cord to a wall.
She is not fibbing, we used to have them in homes said Jim.
They are pretty spoiled, these eight-year-olds, three feet tall....

The Grammar Nazis Will Get You

By Elton Camp

The grammar police are on patrol
Writings they seldom will extol

For how can they possibly commend
A preposition at a sentence’s end

Your write they have so much hated
For it violated a rule now antiquated 

Should a comma be put out of place
They react as if it’s a major disgrace

If a spelling error you should make,
It’s, “Oh my, for goodness sake!”

To show their victims that you care,
Comfort with, “There, they’re, their.”...
