Premium Member Death and Taxes

Unto the earth below my end commences
for I have committed life’s last offences.
  But not even death will save
    me from taxes in the grave
and now I can’t deduct living expenses!

Premium Member Zen Mode

marked by our intent 
an action commences
which if interrupted
by randomness of fate
causes in us no ripple
being but spontaneity
of the expression of life
of which we are a part
so we intuitively adapt
dancing to the rhythm
in a mood celebratory

Komodo Dragon

K illing its prey with bacteria stained saliva
O n queue, it is patient as the blood poisoning commences
M aking deadly moves out of the savannah grass
O verpowering even the largest of beast
D evastating team of dragons eviscerate a corpse in a few hours
O n Indonesia’s Island it reins

The Time Matter Continuum

The Time Matter continuum

The same edges of space 
Ebb the edgy ridges of time—
Like peaks of Everest the tops 
rising slowly like
reverse lightening
moves molasses-like punches up ward
blurring lines of compact matter into dry fluid matter
and what does it matter?
Where time ends 
Or commences.

Birdsong

The Birdsong of Ludovico,
New to my agnostic ears,
Commences unrestrained 
From a godly source

To irrigate my fields,
To rearrange my clouds,
To tantalize my doubts,
To render my cathedral..

His royal nest of birdsong notes
Fills my congregation
With an unknowable truth:
Yes there is a source,

I can be sure,
I am not lost.

Premium Member who would wear that

She is new to our community
A woman who wears a scorpion necklace
Who would wear that? Some naysayers wonder aloud.
I have a cousin, an aunt and know two drag queens who would.
I keep my mouth shut as the conversation commences.
Wondering if I should tell them about my favorite book.
“You cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought.”

Premium Member Yes,Yes, Okay, Sorry

Our battle commences
At half past one.
It was the earliest time,
We could both get it on.

The crowds have all gathered,
For our melee.
If we had been famous,
It could have been on telly.

How long it will last,
No one can say.
One thing for certain,
It's starting today.

So there it is,
In a nut shell.
I said, I do,
She said, YOU WILL!

Premium Member Singing a Song in Honor of the Wind

Melody of the west wind
Wafts into the courtyard
Tickling the fresh buds of an apple tree
I am enthralled, excited, enthused

Singing commences
A ditty I make up in honor of wind
An appreciative cloud gives me a nod
I feel validated

Oak tree scoffs
He is not as easily won over as wind or cloud
Matters not, I continue singing the wind song
Feeling the excitement of spring

Premium Member Cranium Composure Compromised

Calendar commences, conviviality,
kids kvetch knishes cold,
cantaloupe crappy,
kids constantly crunching cookies,
cake, candy.
Could kayaking, canoeing, camping
in Canada cure cantankerous
children's contention?
Can caddying at the country club
conquer kid's complaining?
chaos could conduce calamity,
kindred claiming complete cuckoo-ness,
summer sanity-stealing s'mores scavengers!

Once Bitten

Something happens, causes stressin’;
Maybe it will teach a lesson.
Caution is the surest guide
To safeguard what you fear inside.

If you let down your defenses,
Possibly, some wrong commences;
Then you’ll question your intention –
Why you risked your gut’s prevention.

Hopefully, the lesson learned
Makes the point for all concerned.
Here’s an adage to apply – 
Once you’re bitten, twice you’re shy.

Premium Member Meeting a Large Caracal

Meeting a large caracal
In the middle of the African bush
is something you do not forget

Especially if it has the most beautiful blue eyes
And the largest teeth of any predator you have ever met.
And you are alone without a weapon

And your body is too scared to run
And you wonder if the caracal will begin with your head
Or your back, breaking it so you are helpless
As the eating commences.

Oh Night Owl

Oh night owl

My constant companion

With luminescent eye's

Piercing through full moon

To ward off vampires and
werewolves alike

And notify an early warning
alert call

Slayers to arm's

Silver , Garlic 
Stakes , Crosses

At the ready

Battle commences at the stroke
of dusk

And ends when the sun rises

For those who survive

Only to resume hostilities  
tomorrow night again

Premium Member Cat Napping In the Sun

A rainbow sliver of sunlight hits my white socked feet, as I sit in my recliner.
I notice the cat has strategically placed himself in the line of sunlight also.
My eyes begin to close, as I snore even more loudly than Shark, my tabby.


                                     sun enters crevice
                                  landing on happy tabby
                                    snoring commences

Deeply Fathomed Sky Storm

a thunderstorm passing over -
gun turrets flash
gray hulls rumble and roll
above tumultuous clouds

evening commences to weep -
a damp emotive capsizing
that barely touches upturned faces

as seafaring battles go
it was a sky-skirmish
of near misses

a backwash of electric fizz
the distant sound 
of sailors shouting for rum

light blinks 
shipping damp echoes
that drip
into a salty bucket
of silence

The Crossing of the Mist

At the edge of darkness
	Sleeps the epitaph of mercy,
Since the time spark-lit her magic
	Shadow cursed the hour of urgency.

Here comes the ancient mist…..
	Snaking her way beneath the well of toxic grim sin,
Thus commences the chase, till the end of days
	 And so begins the epic of the invisible amongst the unseen.

Through Woods

The blue moon is on the rise,
Night is about black
But there are sparkles and
Trails left behind;
It is full of dreams

I am of scars
I am pale
I am of chemicals 
"Caged and crushed "
Wearing a Crown Of Baldness
Predictions were of
Absolute certainty 
But echoes in my ears
As mere clamours 

No more stares and tears
It toppled me in agony

The snowfall commences
Christmas is at my doorstep
 And I am to  celebrate with wines.

Shared Love

Single love by only one will be superficial.
Hearing of infidelity breaks ones heart.
Anyone can love sex and feel it is crucial.
Real love is caring and giving from the start.
Each of us has lusted over another mate.
Dealing with lust over love can be just a state.


Listen to your deep inner heart for true notions.
Open your heart to touching and all senses.
Victory will be yours for all love’s motions.
Experience all when your new love commences.

Pathetic Day

My morning starts with leaves from a tree
falling on my bed, through my open
bedroom window - I feel as though I could use
a chainsaw now!

My afternoon commences with sharp noises from spoons
and butter knives falling on the shelves - my
fingers tremble with rage as I search for contacts
for animal control, to take my cat away from my kitchen!

My dinner hour begins a leak on the roof of my dining room-
I wonder whether God is punishing me for being grumpy.

I Break My Silence

I break my silence to say goodbye
Growth brings decay
Though cold February brings May
Change is a must though we try
To pretend are still the same
The innocent must take the blame
And the guilty go free
I give back your oath, take it of me
When water changes from liquid
To gas, its nature holds still
And longer than meanings will.
Words were all you gave for belief
Love is the fountain of all grief
Not the end of it. I break this silence
To say goodbye, another grief commences.

Premium Member The Marketplace

Every shot of grief and pain 
		commences the grand experiment 
		once again, 
		delineating material differences  
		in the various types of neglect,
		the techniques and attitudes 
		that too often lead to violence,
		and the denial of blame.
		
		Sadly, it always comes to naught:
		bought players
		mouthing contrived words, 
		obeying contrary voices,
		concluding with self-serving decisions
		determined in advance by
		those who buy weak souls
		in the marketplace of cowardice.
