Today has 24 hours to live. 
Be at its deathbed, son,
keep a vigil, make sure you're 
included in its will. 
Of the priceless heirlooms, 
have your fill.

Sieze its shoulders,
shake it out of its last slumber
if you must. 
Cajole, wheedle and fawn,
get all that you most dearly want. 
Trust not in the largesse of
an inglorious dawn.

Premium Member Vigilante Tongue

Vigilante Tongue Written: by Tom Wright February 2015 It oft returned, To a world of familiarization, Screaming and shouting; Relying on speech That can ne’er be recalled; Intent, vociferous words once latched in, Now spent, are as grave markers Set all in a course, That appears cast in stone; An inglorious lasting legacy;

Tapestry In Bloom

Lilac drips emboss the outstretched plains
Whilst the aquatic festoonery resurfaces
Permanently
The Expanse is Extraordinary
But it is all so ordinary, in its distance spanned
Repeated
But it is so glorious, the defeat that refused a compromise
And found itself in the inglorious moratorium,
clawing, drawing closer
To the Expanse, in Extraordinary enduring hostile pity
To find the clawing was for not
If the water flows regardless

A Marriage To Escape Being Dissolved

For what Baptism has left unsolved
Any Darwinian hope for the Newly Evolved?
There mustn’t be another vile scar
From a cheating on a flying car!

Vera should’ve the thing tried at some bar,
Just for her man, everywhere A Star,
To pursuers unreachable because far …

Yes, round The Scandalous had the thing revolved,
The subject not likely to be absolved,
Because of the inglorious lot involved
And an infuriating infidelity scarcely resolved…

A marriage to escape being dissolved
