Living the life of the ages
We must move onward

Vanished souls in the night.
Years pass by in signs of abandon.
Little hint of the story.

A Hint of Musk

Still, a hint of musk
remained behind on 
 the shirt he last wore,
a faint reminder of skin
 pressed up against mine,
the essence of sweat &
 tears that lingers a lifetime

We Need a Hint

We Need A Hint

We wonder what Trump may have meant;
Each day more and more money was spent;
Where he did go;
Wanted to know;
How, why, where, when we will need a hint.

Hint Book Out of Print

Trump had hint his book out of print;
Started roaring and then recalcitrant;
Did seem abrupt;
Intent is corrupt,
When we learned what moron meant.

Need Hint of What It Meant

Need Hint of What It Meant

Read Solomon's poem and needed a hint,
About what it said  and may have meant;
With no disdain,
Further explain,
In another poem to me that he had sent.

Him suggestion that ended up being a hint,
With each word

Here Is A Hint About Peppermint

Lately what I have heard is a historical hint
About things they meant about peppermint;
Spiral weave,
Did receive;
From God His Son and this thought were sent.

Get The Hint

Get the hint that your stint
Here on Earth has real worth
For how you act will impact
Where you venture in the future
So be good when you could
And keep in mind to be kind
That is all there is to it
Every person can do it.

HINT


Hope sculpts deep dream as peace works best,
Ink stains move theme with dance of zest;
Now feel light streams as thought finds form,
Taste soul art cream the way of fest.

A MERE HINT OF MALICE

paprikash chicken…
sweet dish...sink your teeth into
...careful of the host

his eyes hypnotize…
delighted to wine and dine
...hungry for Harker*

single baying wolf
under your satin window
...salivating dreams

Here's a little hint about me, 
(Actually regarding my latest M P D).
Listen to me very carefully 
and you'll avoid yourself a sure fire future disaster.
There isn't anything this poet can't Master.

Some may find this a rather odd rhyme,
but others would be wise to read between the lines.

A Heavenly Hint

In a golden Garden that gilters in 
graceful glamour with a gate of 
glints
stretches a stream of stars 
arround sanctuaries and spirits 
that sparkle.
A habitation of Holies with 
hoists of Helium... a heavenly hint:
a world without walls 
where worshipers whirls... 
without a  wrinkle.

Genie and Aladdin

Genie 
Said to Aladdin, 'Ask for anything you need'
Didn’t tell him not to be greedy
But implied nothing comes freely 

Aladdin
Didn’t take the subtle hint
And asked for what he wants 
Every minute since, his wants haunt

Without the Smallest Hint

Yes.
No.
Maybe so.
I don't really, honestly know.
I try and try.
Oh, and try some more.
Even though I gain no ground.
Just as before.
How can I do it?
How can I show?
I know I'm worth it.
I know that it will grow.
I watch you go,
Almost every day,
Without the smallest hint,
Or even a clue.
Yes?
No?
Maybe so?
You don't really, honestly know?

God Give Me a Hint

God Give Me A Hint

God give me a hint;
When all my money is spent
Where will she have went?

He is an old grump
Loves living in land of Trump;
Has his own gas pump.

He was pretentious
Won't run around with witches
Hates dirty britches.

Must be good looking
Of my love is a token
Someone worth hooking.

Does this person sound familiar?

Premium Member A Hint of Hope

She gazes past the golden fields 
beyond the wheat that summer yields 
above the solitary oak, so still
where a lazy hawk, with circles fill. 

He feels the drifts in windswept skies
her soul goes drifting, by and by
she’s carried from her lonely bed
to fly away, no fear or dread. 

And when the moon at night alights
her hopeful eyes, with tears delight
she looks beyond the stars above
and feels the wonder of God’s love.

A Hint of Fall

At last, the breeze is cool enough
To garner some respect,
Though it's not here for very long, 
The forecasters suspect.

Another heat wave's on its way
'Cause from what I recall,
This very often happens
As the summer turns to fall.

I so enjoy this little taste
Of cool; what a relief!
The heat has skulked away
Without a word, just like a thief.

But just as thieves will strike again,
Especially when dared,
We must remember summer's
Still around, and be prepared.

Take a Hint

Take a hint 
Leave me alone
Don’t call 
Don’t write
Not even a text
I don’t want to see your face
Don’t want to hear your words
Your voice makes me nauseous
Rip my eardrums from my head
Your flowers meet the trash
Without ever touching a vase
Your cards meet the fire
Without ever being read
Your messages are erased
Without ever being heard
Your face is forgotten
Without losing a tear
You’ve done me wrong
I’ll never forgive you for that
So please 
Take a hint
Vanish and leave me alone

Premium Member a Hint of Sparrows

A hint of sparrows amid browning leaves
Faint shadows the conductor’s baton
A-dance beneath the now visible nests
A cold urgency whistles through the trees
Beauty will adapt in fashioned frolic
Dab colors in the corners of our minds
Memories more brilliant than their moment
Seen through time’s more melancholy eyes
Hands will touch life’s softly falling petals
Holding to the dreams they still possess
Listening as gentle breezes whisper 
A hint of sparrows amid browning leaves
