Coup De Bras

Some people are physical wrecks
Because the mind is so complex
What God has in mind
We struggle to find
So we all got bodies for sex!

Premium Member Staging a Coup

There once was a president who
 decided to stage a coup
 so he gathered a mob
 the election to Rob
 But Pence he could not subdue

Premium Member Coup De Coeur

It would never be the same
this heart, aching in the moment,
growing “a la Grinch”,
seeded with a look, a gaze
gossamer, this veil of lust
this gentle coup of crown and throne
this empty castle - drawbridge down.

Coup D'Etat

Fashioned in enameled vacancy,
the gentry’s veil was pierced

Exposed unclean, all vices seen,
through fury sharp and fierce

The folly of their blasphemy,
whose cover all but blown

With blood to flow from ramparts high
—once driven from the throne

Coup De Grace

(Coup de grâce)

Oh, it’ll be so easy if only
I, in collusion with
the angels and the demons,
usurp God from heaven.

It will be a crucial coup
to overthrow God
and enthrone the Devil.

With such malice and hostility 
of man toward man
it’s beneficial to let the devil
take over for a change
and let humankind destroy itself.


Premium Member Bogo Shopping Coup

Written by Gail DeBole
on May 11, 2017

“Buy One, Get One,” said the sign.
I ran to get them first.
Four of them would be mine.
I opened up my purse.

And just some minutes later.
I had paid for only two.
No feeling any greater
Than a BOGO shopping coup.

But later after leaving
I became quite self-amused.
It was hard believing
My coup was four men’s left shoes.

When Wisdom Flies the Coup

The day wisdom flies the coup,
Is the day we will need to rally round hope,
And hang on tight to love with more than just rope.

Who could blame wisdom  if it decided to fly the coup,
When we don't bother to keep it in the loop,
As even lower we stoop.

I pray we can restore wisdom to the top of the heap,
Before it flies the coup,
With few in the group that can entice it back through the hoop.

Coup De Foudre

(Love at First Sight)

Coup de foudre is what, I
felt the first time we met...

Must say that this is, still what I
 feel, the same as on that
special night… 

Coup de foudre is what, I
felt the first time we met….

Wishing you felt the same,
and would tell me so, for
I so do love you and want 
you to know!

Je crois que les choses sont 
Clairequand même?
(I think things are clear, aren’t they?)

Some generals i hear, are debating.? Could
It be true.? That such an event, could be run through.' To remove the prime minister
With current government too.' I dont understand? This something does not ring
True.' The U K not being a republic.' Its the
King who would remove that crew.' Once
He came under pressure.' He might not be
Happy..Yet it is the course i would expect to happen.' Just my opinion..Lets observe
What events may happen.? To come true.'

Premium Member The Bloody Coup

We know that it was an inside job, that President Trump incited the mob. Why was home land security sent away to a place of obscurity? Where was the FBI who warned that some thing was going to fly? If heads must roll and some be gone, we must include the Pentagon. They deserted our Capitol police, so out numbered, now several deceased. Those elected officials who played their roles and watched while mayhem did unfold. They all better get their do for inciting this bloody unconstitutional coup.
