Premium Member Just One Slip

Hammering away happily
whistling,to himself blithely
his hammer slipped
his nail blackened
the expletives came quickly

Premium Member Road Rage

honking expletives 
an irate driver 
aggressively gestures 
at my patient attitude
and the gaggle of geese 
crossing in single file…

Premium Member Some Lady

I try not to use expletives,
When I get in a stew.

Swearing is not ladylike,
It's not the thing to do.

Perhaps I am no lady,
Because all too quickly I find

When I see unfairness
These words spring into mind.

Premium Member Teenage Drivers - Wbm

Young teenage drivers with looks of scorn
Coming up behind blaring their horn
With anger and road rage
Too scary for their age
Especially with expletives sworn

Poetic Endeavours Are Not Meant To Cure Us. Part 4-The Womb of Creation

Alveoli burst in seething pain
Green bile floods out of lacerations.
Cruciform expletives implode into disaster.
I slice cornea's from my weary eyes.
Scum stained nails rip teeth from jagged mouths.
I stood in the womb of creation and cried.
Assailed on all sides by the blinding dark.

Premium Member Ouch - Little White Lies

My hubby just fell out of bed He banged his elbow and his head Now I can hear groaning Expletives and moaning I’m certain that he isn’t dead! Only the first line is true – last night we watched a programme on how easily people lie but on this occasion I would call this poetic licence 10/10/18

Expletive Deleted

Expletive deleted from the text
The word is taboo not allowed in the mix
For these Celtic words was once forbidden
From the Norman Conquest or so it’s written

But now the words can be said
Expletives are heard and read
For the n word is worse or so I’ve heard
So now if you use it, you sound absurd.

Mind Your Language

The words you use have a serraded edge
they cause the deepest damage 
they also  take the longest time to heal 
speak with kindness in your heart 
As words can wound , meant or not
whether said in the heat of battle
or delivered from a cold heart 
the pain is the same the wound as deep 
speak gently in a measured tongue
leave expletives unsaid and exclamation unused
use the language of Marcel Marceau.

Premium Member Where a Ghost Just won’t Do

Sometimes the rain is haunting,
where a ghost just won’t do.
The rain is unexpected and the place
I’m headed for is Mud Creek.

Drip, drip, drip - steady flow of tears,
not felt in the eyes or on the cheeks
but in the heart. Thunder cracks -
as if it is expletives overhead.

Battle of gutters and downspouts,
pools at the foundation of my house.
A steady waterfall, drip, drip, dripping.
The sky fell out and a fiddler plays.

Ever-Buck-Passing Websites

You press the keys time and again
And errors bog you with flat disdain 
In vain you try and rack your brain 
To figure what has derailed the train 

The website is but a tangled web
That sinks your spirits to a new ebb
Supposedly a tool to expedite work
Actually a means to shut your neb

On its homepage, the motto to dangle
Must be YOUR NEEVES WE JAR AND JANGLE
AS EXPLETIVES POUR OUT OF YOUR MOUTH 
YOUR PEACE OF MIND WE LOVE TO MANGLE

Premium Member Clean Lips

Be careful of the word that slips
from in between your lovely lips.
Be sure it’s not deemed a disgrace,
not to be used in any place.

I thought that I was pretty hep,
but now I know I’m out of step.
I long for the time not long ago,
when such words were a big no-no.

You’ll find in Webster’s Dictionary,
good words both rare and ordinary,
that would explain your feelings better
than expletives and the F-letter.

Power 'ours

A smart sore, in time your threshold increased.
Deadly in missionary.
His
invitation
extends when unafraid.

Let loose,
upon firm and voluptuous gifts these women sit.
A cushion secured, made from just cheek and some meat.
Expletives in-between.

A gander
so golden my eyes are still rolling.
Holy Roller.
Into that wagon she has been towing.
Ocean Royal,
can't stop, won't stop when I've gone non-stop.
Insider witness,
all reports confirm your club just got shot up.
