A magnificent time
Friday at five
Lazily it arrives
A Herculean climb

But here is the weekend
Limitless potential
Though gone in a second
Still reverential

Chivalry kicks in coffee
cup and caffeinated mess
before touch, oh yes
the reminder that covid lasts
such a cute moment - the dash
made me laugh, and stretch
my lips up — those muscles
herculean do trust people
have a great big heart

Premium Member How did you get their names so wrong

Thor did not live up to his name
He was skinny, weak a petite Fontaine
Wren, his brother was a Herculean guy
Brawny and strapping, he caught many an eye

How did you get their names so wrong?
I asked their mother, Mrs. Wong.
Thor weighed ten at birth, Wren weighed three.
A cruel joke God played on me.

Premium Member Reach

If you wish to take your dreams
And hold them in your hand,
It’s gonna take some effort
And one heck of a plan.
Don’t think it all impossible,
A Herculean task…
If you’re reaching for the stars
The moon is in your grasp.

Premium Member my big headed dog

my dog could put my leg into his mouth if he wanted to
hid mouth takes on an alligator's opening when he yawns 
he is the biggest-headed-dog we have ever had
and we have had twenty-two dogs
his neck is Herculean
he is strong enough to pull a sleigh of Republicans up a mountain
and he is a baby
only fifteen months old

Dancing On the Sea

Who dances on the sea?
Do you say no persons?
Someone dances on the sea.
Yes,I say,someone dances!
He is of bravery!
He is a Herculean!
He shows no white feathers!
He fears absolutely nothing,
Not even the restless waves of the sea.
Aiming at the hidden goodness of the sea floor.
He only chooses to dance,
Until his treasures are his.

At Last

D eep inside my head I loom,
E ach day I feel a sense of doom.
P eace I cannot seem to find,
R each as I might through out my mind.
E ach day a herculean task,
S ome days I can't put on the mask.
S eemingly fine, "I'm good and well"
I say with a smile ,as I encounter hell.
O ne day I know this too shall pass,
N ot long until its over, at last.

The Devil's Barber

Cowards
                           Trim and cut 
                     Barefoot sacred souls
            Warriors plucked like sweet grass
        And blue suits hunger blood like fools.
             But honor forged in solid earth
                Replaces heinous schemes 
                       And Natives remain 
                             Herculean.

Java Man and Alpha's Argonauts

Pendragons these Titans dieties de facto herculean portent shores Poseidon's
Neptune her Olympus their oracles and Othello ? Robin redbreast genesis his sherwood
Forest knights of love's, round table time as Ganymede; to bear this cup ? Germane the goddess....

Financing the Change

Sip this description
Flipping indigenous misfits,
Imprints or footprints in sound

The valley out of bounds
Where real world blues
Are castigated in spades
Dark hazes rearrange the page
Pressing 
Prime poetry always
Lifted in a miraculous tumble

While battling limbs plunder
Im just herculean on this mystery fit
Having no eye for embellishment 
making answers split 
And financing the change

Upon the Writing of Free Verse

Writing mostly rhythm with rhyme
I find it such sweet poetry.
Upon occasion I find time
to compose a verse that is free.

I slave like a night owl up-tight
finding the task not so fluent.
Like a tangram that won't fit right
some pieces I'm sure are truant.

The fitting of free thought's a curse -
herculean and out-of-whack.
Upon the writing of free verse
I get lost in the art of abstract.

I don’t dare to dream beyond what I can do
It is foolish, craving to capture everything within view.
The world around is wondrously wide, a canvas vast
The more we try to grab, the more into agitation we’re cast.

Keep away from herculean schemes for tomorrow
Instead give today your best for a brighter morrow.
Focus on feasible things, let go, what’s beyond.
Take every step with caution, to simple needs respond.

        Nine noted naughty notorious Narwhals.
        Active admirable acrobat anonymous aqua mammals.
        Restless rowdy racers rolling on rocky shore.
        Whimsical whinny women whales whistling wonderfully.
        Haughty horny huge herculean was haply harpooned.
        Alarming appearance of angry arctic animals.

Remixed

It stings just a little
when I bathe in her scent
and memories drip down
like your stilettos
as they slipped off
at the end of our moonlit dream

the archer in the sky
playing tricks
a celestial offering remixed

my offering
your acceptance

the wind howled
or did it roar

I saw it all
in the jade of your eye
pinned against a blue herculean sky

skin to skin
I wake up mirrored in your reflection
and a cheshire grin

EQUITY ON ROCKS


Eyes draped in black,  
The Scale of Justice, stark and exact,  
Struggles with truth and fairness,  
In a land where might eclipses righteousness.

Justice delayed, where should we start?  
An alchemist’s touch to mend every part.  
Government's hollow promises,  
Culprits evade without consequences.

Corruption ingrained in every root,  
A Herculean task to uproot,  
Marks the end of democracy,  
And the rise of nation's hypocrisy.

Premium Member View From the Hammock

When sun's bright rays scorch the earth's face,
when dust grit strays to cover every space,
faded blossoms weep while Daffodils sleep
'neath Snapdragon's shade.

Then lily buds burst in rainbow array,
birds slake their thirst in water-hose spray,
as Rose of Sharon competes with Herculean feats
of Cardinal Vine's parade.

The lazy summer breeze will make me pause
while monotone of the bees will give me cause
amid summer's quest to seek quiet rest
in solstice serenade.

Premium Member Love of My Life


..............................
Agapi Tis Zois Mou
(Greek~Love of My Life)
..............................

You ruined my life with your
rose, soft lips.
Your strong Herculean hands
that brought my body to your
god-like hips.
You tantalized my mind beyond
cognition.
You filled my body and created
a lovely, Greek creation.
You have dominion over my
my mind and heart.
You are my Arcadian and eternal
counterpart.

Forever... Your Panagiota...
