Of the things in life to acquire
Patience, one must first aspire
Eases, for a while, mind in dire

Whose verses set readers afire.
With chaos unbound,
No rhythm or sound,
They called it a dumpster fire!

Puts you in dire standing
You can believe your frown
Or understand the landing
Which holds the demanding

But something disgusting to eat
If not rightly mixed
Pin-rolled and affixed
Your pie crust will taste like concrete

claim not anything
and you will never be in
nothing need to prove
remain true to what you are
give what you are in dire need

Smoky skies,
red flames...war increased
Scarlet's dire.
Angrily...
invoking faint hope
with much pain.
Was it peace...
abundant harvest,
or lost love?

Gorging himself at the public trough
While fellow Venezuelans have no food
Situation dire -- civil war's prelude

Whenever a country in poverty
but rich in natural resources
is in dire strait
whatever is done by wealthy countries
is only for it to take the bait

In shadows lurk
The whispers dire
Retribution
Fuels the fire
With echoes
Of his past in tow
A storm approaches
Winds will blow

my mental health
won’t bring me wealth
except on game shows
where I’m counting toes
Dire Straits sang Money for Nothing
if that’s true I would even sing

in the dire of garbage I sing a song
do not want to ride the truck to dump
but today I sing a song with no flag
no baa to bleat but a puzzle to achieve

Do Desire Things That Inspire
What we always will desire,
Are all things that do inspire,
Each day,
Every way,
Even in moment that is dire.

What killed Socrates.
a weed or Aristophanes?
What caused an end so dire?
The law or just satire?
The cries of ignorant crowds.
or something in 'The Clouds'?

Overwhelmed by dire thirst
Oppressed without water
Over the next sand dune
Offered in a vision
Optical illusions
Outcrops of tall date palms
Oasis; a mirage

means nothing much was amiss
When hammers and nails are required

Green silent abode
Gives component to save live
Takes care birth to death
We behave it waywardness
Compose a dire state in it

Can a teenage girl possibly thrive
On six-inches of masculine drive?
If you can revive
Then you will survive
As six-inches chugs better than five!

Wendall walked a wiggly wire
Strung between two church spire,
Unfortunately for him he was undone
By an oblivious, bell-ringing nun,
Causing a result so very dire.

my molten soul
a fountain of raw, liquid fire
my molten soul
lava flows from an empty hole
oozing emotions, flowing dire
Heaven's water, douse my desire
my molten soul

Object of desire.
Funny phrase. I mean
How ridiculous!
Fantasy's best scene
Viewed through passion's fire
Oughta be more keen
Oughta be more dire
Than mere object.
