Premium Member Shame

Since corporate gain
is all that matters,
thick oil is fouling 
ocean waters.

Premium Member A Spiritual Plane

Fear sullies the thought of Death; fouling the bliss in its kiss as it releases the soul from its mortal existence, to a spiritual plane.

Premium Member Making Love

Making love to a beautiful woman
has always affected me strangely.
I often feel as if I am fouling
their magnificent body of beauty.
I guess there must be something seriously wrong with me.

Ball of Time

Rolling ball in a football court, passing from one to other
Fouling some with dribbling skill, bouncing well, flying slow and fast
Ball of time, oh! passing by, hit at time will celebrate best.

April

Snowdrop all over the top
Runs to a quick flop 

Daffodil thrown up 
In a hasty set up 

Lily’s eyes bloom on 
petals grace a gentle beacon 
 
Orchid bided her time
It holds an euphonious rhyme

Blossoming flourishing 
blooming flowering

Dying falling 
Decaying fouling

All then the graden bare 
No red roses perfumed the air.


Premium Member Soul Eaters

Turmoil
God awful gut wrenching 
nightmare riding
turmoil.

Throat clenching
acid rising murder of crows,
False importance on the trivial grows.

A gag reflex of learned fear
turmoil roils hurricane high
calms counterweight on the psychic scale.

Taste the bitter bile of discontent.
Far fetching fowl…
fouling the content
eating the brash bits of joy
Turmoil.

Tick, Tick, Tick

Soft and complacent
our youth in denial
What evil disguises
the past has on file

Wishing and hoping
a smokescreen at best
Masking our fear
while fouling our nest

The seeds of our history
whose names have been damned
And mocked until cancelled
our heritage banned

In near distant cauldrons
a pot stirs and boils
Awaiting our downfall
—and all we’ve despoiled

(The New Room: November, 2023)

A Tear Fights His Way Through Desolation

a tear fights his way through desolation
the purple summer flower is snapped
hope expired to memorial
green fields are hermetically sealed
mud splashes fouling soft cheeks
the worst in humanity has been reached
childhood dreams buried by cruelty
salt burns painful in bleeding wounds
monsters shuffling around
nailing hard steel in bare walls
behind the scenes reigns vipers
ruthless sounds die away in the cosmos

Premium Member Beginning To Rust

I cannot worry about 2082, or even 2032,
I cannot figure out in 2021 what I can do
To make the changes this old world needs
How to overcome humanity’s foul deeds.
I’d like to make the world a better place,
But we’re already fouling outer space.
I certainly cannot change the climate here,
Or do what’s necessary to save reindeer.
I am thinking the next generation must, 
‘Cause my generation is beginning to rust.

Skiff In a Low Place

The hull lolls,
anchored to a fouling current.
Juggernauts of heat sleep under a leaden sky,
bugs lurch and slow skirt.
I nod over my spine, afloat on a humming haze.
An osprey jumps out of a high ambit,
swooping fast.
I imagine a wind in the wake of its wings.
The bird dives, cleaves the light, arrow bright
parting the weight of these doldrums.
The wallowing skiff seems to shrug off the heavy air
as talons scoop up a wriggling fish
together with my up-lifted mind.
