Premium Member Lovely Poems and Trees

A guy or gal rarely sees
poems lovelier than trees.
Before you hurl invective,
take a new perspective.
This poem, why not compare
to a cat that has no hair.

Gregarious Giles gladly gathers garnish greens gentle Greta grows.

Haggard Harriet hardly has half her hoppity hare’s health habits.

"Injun" invective incenses indigenous individual.

Visions Troll

Subject and Object,
who builds the bridge
From either perspective,
to laud or forgive

First person invective,
third person retort
The toll for each crossing
  —forever deports

Stay Calm

Don't have time to hate,
Avoid thoughts that negate,
Resentment, envy, loathing and invective,
None of the above are ever effective.

Instead stay calm when people take the piss,
Ask for their hand politely, bow and give it a kiss,
When they, bemused, all of a muddle, ask you why?
Simply kiss them again and wave them goodbye.

The Human Rights of a Wayward Woman

Even if she were a whore
With a visible moral sore:
The licentious from her jaw,
Largely The Deprived or poor, 
A fool seeming to the core,
On all days A Bore  
But broke A Toothless Law,
You mustn’t her on paper draw, 
On her invective pour 
Nor bang on her door…

These, a raising of dust and more,
For The Law silly defenses would floor.

Premium Member Deleting the tyranny'

Tyranny can start in innocous ways.' In nudges and flattery
Setting a stage.' It can be mocking.? And hectoring' quote
Morality with invective stings' its antidote i am considering? Which may well need to be a charge against
Its political wing.? With no further deliberation i advise..
Overwhelming assinine-ations.' A large dose of their own
Medicine.' Would clear up much; of the mess we are now in.'

Premium Member A Lesser Man Would Defeat

    Archaic, outmoded, 
      ‘gauche,’ obsolete

    O, the invective employed
      a lesser man would defeat

    Yet unintimidated, he held his ground
      for he knew his principle was sound

    Adam viewed the fish, the animals, the birds 
      (paired up so nicely, he perceived) 
    Then, whoosh! out rushed his shocking words

    'Please, for a partner with whom to conceive
       I request MY complement, a lady named Eve'
