Thighs

A miss, with handsome curved thighs,
From men she elicited sighs
- Try as they would
- None of them could
Ever lay hands on the prize.

Premium Member Christmas Topper Faerie

Who is she? We asked in hushed tones
For the aura and ambiance, she elicited were magical
We were in awe without even knowing her

She is the Christmas Topper Faerie.
Be extra quiet. She only chooses one tree to grace.
We held our breath, waiting.

Do Declare Should Share the Air

when i do declare
there is so much we should share
inhale all the air

had elicited
actions should be restricted
could be convicted

while in their presence
was in every essence
enjoy pleasance

had hesitated
things we knew were related

Premium Member Ogden Nash

I revere the witty verse of Ogden Nash,

   Whose versifications are so waggish and brash!

      His work elicited from the masses many a guffaw.

         Alas, he met his doom after consuming infected slaw!

Urban Scene

The toddler’s steps were tentative;
His daddy held his hands.
They slowly made some progress;
Every parent understands.

What caught my eye was on their heads -
Both sporting baseball caps,
The dad’s a well-worn Yankees one,
A favorite, perhaps.  

The toddler’s was, of course, brand new,
Though I have got to say 
It elicited a laugh because 
The logo said LA!

Theory Of Probability

Not wishing to deride but unable to make up her mind let alone decide my every question elicited the response of a definite maybe a positive perhaps a certain perchance or a possible mayhaps and if it weren't for her bed being next to the wall she'd never know which side to get out of at all and as for which shoe to step into first it's probably the perfect example of indecision at her worst

Premium Member A World She Has Created

Jacqueline Q lives in a world she has created.
I listen and nod, for don’t we all?
she surrounds herself with things that she loves.
the reporter turns up her nose in a snooty way
this wise practice should be replicated I think.

has her persona determined her choices
or have her choices elicited her persona?
how would this matter to a confident woman
who knows how to create, revise and recreate herself?
I know which one I will invite to lunch

Fire Stoke Until Badly Broke

fire we must stoke
until became badly broke
out from sand head poke

they elicited
what is to be conflicted
became afflicted

when we have been good 
was God who would make us good
making me feel good

Jesus in crib laid
God wind and waves had obeyed
great world for me He made

had been notified
that her death was verified
the I cried and cried

God gave gift to girl
a pretty and perfect pearl
was out of this world

ingrained idiocy
actual validity
pure stupidity

Woodstock

I still have my tickets
And what I recall
Was the feeling of kinship
Connecting us all.

We rolled down our windows,
In traffic for miles,
As peace-fingered V-signs
Elicited smiles.

“You goin’ to Woodstock?”
We’d shout as we passed
Though since everyone was,
We knew we’d have a blast.

They talk of the mud
And the sex and the drugs
But we went for the music
And peace, love and hugs.

The 60’s was magic
With hope in the air
And all who remember
Were glad to be there.
