Premium Member Nobody more confident than an idiot

He has a captured audience.
People stunned are too polite to engage.
He keeps doling out his asinine platitudes.
Oblivious, he keeps them coming.

Premium Member Doling Out Dandelions

Faerie children were all a titter
It was spring time no longer bitter
Grandpa Faerie’s dandelion distribution day
They were giddy and happy from far away

They arrived in doubles and triples and quads.
They giggled and wiggled in all kinds of squads
Grandpa Faerie was out with great speed
Recognizing their happiness for this pretty weed.

Premium Member I Was the Goon Who Chose the Raccoon

The horses’ lacy white petticoats and ribboned pantaloons
Were kicked almost as high as a delightful orange harvest moon.
The anger came from the big burly brown baboons
Who were left out by the snotty uppity raccoon.
I felt like an uninformed ridiculous goon,
Because I had assigned the notorious snotty coons
The task of doling out the petticoats and the pantaloons.

Singularity

Taped-together mystery
Closeted cacophony
Doling out your sunshine
Like it’s half time
And you’re half mine

Your countenance, it haunts my dreams
Why does kindness feel so strange?

Flip me inside out
Clear my eyes
Turn my world upside down 
And pierce my amnesia

Tear the veil from my mind
Shake me out from all the lies
Melt the fear when it resists
So my will succeeds from this

Rescue me 
From my own worst enemy

Premium Member crone understands bee medicine

The wizened crone understands bee medicine
Her friends are honey bees and bumblebees.
They have given her a special formula
Unshared with any other humans

She gives it to an adventurer
He discovers a new country.
She sells it to a rapist.
He falls down dead.

It helps good people get stronger
It gives seekers what they need
But those who hurt others do not do well with it
The old crone continues doling out the medicine.
Loving the results.
