Swine Indeed

They brewed-up vaccines morose
pledging to self-diagnose
disease most scary
hoping to bury
pathos with each costly dose.

Premium Member God's Creation

innocently pure in life
the starting of creation
ties that bind forevermore

children from beginning to end; costly….

Anchored

There was a fair damsel of Peales
with a bust the smallest of deals.
She applied strong lotions
and drank costly potions.
Now she walks with lead in her heels.

black and white fifties

film was costly

black fifties phones
attached to a wall
shared by parents, children discouraged from usage

Political life isn't cheap
moats are costly to clean when their deep
big bucks for a **** movie
and a duck house thats groovy,
it's enough to make Gordon Brown weep.

Premium Member A Costly Mistake

Single mistakes can be costly,
Surely a statement made falsely
Will get you time in the slammer
And create lots of loud clamor,
So never enter a false plea.

Premium Member History of the Necktie

The necktie was brought into play 
to keep your shirt clean every ay
but they got expensive
elaborate
too good to be bibs
too classy and designer, too costly
to eat with spare ribs.

Blood Colors and Tears

Red roses in the dead of winter. 
Hard to find, 
a costly extravagance. 

Cancer…

Changes the price of the moment, 
and the very value of our 
existence.

Premium Member hamhocks for my dogs

ham hocks
the dogs love them
sure. they are costly
but they satisfy
and our dogs are our people
I cringe as I hear their teeth crunching up bone and gristle
My teeth hurt thinking about it

Anointing the Lord

A woman who worshipped Jesus as Lord
anointed the head of him she adored.
     “What a costly waste,”
     Some said in distaste.
“It's for my burial what she has out poured”

Come and Find Me In My Solitude

Find me in my costly time
Reading books to learn
Puzzling phrases together
Tending the exciting crime
Surrounded with pen and paper so cute
Adorable in front of the table
Come and find me in my solitude

Love

Love can be safe
But dangerous
If not careful.

Trust first start
With one hello
Joy heart react.

Love is costly
It makes you poor
If it's not true.

Your love is true
If you care much
With no regret.

Now As Her Property

As her own rare find, now seen
Of your avowed 'queen'
You'll need to protect it more
This your own person.

As some costly made sculpture
Likely to fracture
Safe wrap it, in sending out
To where days rage on.

Price of Success

Sometimes we strive
For success hoped on
Inside burns a drive
We tend to go on
Seaching for the unseen
Amidst hurdles and impediments
Costly prices we pay 
Draining our pockets clean

Dissonance

restless heart in need of flight
the time is drawing near
future bliss within his sight
in the present lives his fear

what he has and what he needs
inhabit different pages
conscience shamed by guilty deeds
such sin has costly wages

Premium Member Adam and Eve

Adam
tasked with naming Eden’s spectacle.
all was very good -
even quite respectable.

Eve
named the mother of all living things
after she bit the fruit of good and evil’s seed.
Costly to the only couple - the serpent’s cling.

Costly Health

In the media, we are told
that lots of us, have too much guts

What we’re eating, is not the best
and what we’re drinking, makes us a pest

Its healthy food, that’s priced to the hilt
chop down the price, so we don’t feel the guilt

Premium Member A Positive Poem

Seven/seven, my birthday,
my family will fete me.
No need for costly gifts,
they bring loving hearts.

Memories will be renewed,
many old stories retold.
Praises will be heaped on me,
their love, all I need.

Big Apple

You walk fast 
New York,
Heavy stampede
Steps
The concrete ground
You stand.
I married you
In April,
Costly 
Earsplitting
Streets 
Awaken me.
Global breath
Aromas
Vibrant
Sparkling eyes 
Vanished evermore. 
I’m back,
We have matured.

Dimension of Love

Who created human race!
God's power I can not face?

Why can't I sometimes relax?
Just have to face troublesome facts

Hearing voices, voices, voices
Made some rather costly choices

Getting rid of Satan's hate?
Something which to celebrate!

Art of Living

Look at the top not at bottom,

Show your attitude not gratitude,

Live as per our custom not for system,

Run towards altitude not for substitute,

Live life king size not at zero size,

Be costly not fancy, 

Becomes ethical not critical.

Premium Member The Watch

A man steals a hundred dollar watch to get money to feed his family.
He gets caught and thrown into a penitentiary.
The taxpayer tab for his incarceration will be extremely costly for us.
I think all would be better off if we just gave him the watch.
