The Dark Prince and Gods Darkest Whore

The dark prince and the almighty Gods' darkest whore,
The prince defies God so he is going to even the score,
He's crowned with disloyalty and encouraging her lie,
Sitting by her darkened throne and views the lashings go by,
The Lord then slams and then seals heavens' eternal door.
Form: Limerick

Christmas Spirit

Pies in the sky

I could eat a pie in the sky
Said the Bear unto the snake
A giant cherry fancy pie
With lashings of cream shake 

A Pie the size of giant whales
A humungous macaroon
A slice of chocolate brownie
The size of the new moon 

The snake just warned the bear
To not gorge on such food
But the bear knew hibernation was near
And to be full would do him good

Saucey Suncream

A fruity smell,
An apple smell,
A peachy, strawberry, grapey smell
Sugary, bitter and sweet.

Cream-like,
Soup-like,
Anything at all like,
That keeps everything cool in the heat.

You get brown,
You stay brown,
You get a lot more browner brown,
You remain this lovely colour of course!

Its not cream or spray thats doing all this,
Its lashings of worcester sauce...

Fen Blow 3

Lashings of wild wind wipe the smile off the smug fenland fields in Spring, 

all geometrical order of all colours of the rainbow, with every colour of yellow; 

jaundice danger once in this region and others in the days before the good old 

National Health Service - NHS today. Today every baby tested for it to keep it away

as well as jaudiced opponents too of the NHS in throughout the whole of the UK.

Fathers Cute Little Words

My fathers’ cute little words and sayings,
Like, that is just for the birds, in lashings.
Akumpucky in way,
Epigutis he’d say.
My father was big man in displaying.

.
Akumpucky was cream or compound.
Epigutis was the disease he found.
His words were so very cute.
You would never try dispute.
Powerful man would win any round.

Wrath

I was never one to curb my anger
when my heart gets close to danger
tongue lashings come as I let 'er rip
if it's in there, out it spits

lightning flashes from deep green eyes
thunder crashes once incised
the wrath of this consuming storm
not forecast in weather reports

after it has blown on through
once again, my sky turns blue
pushing away the clouds of gray
forgiveness always after the fray

Premium Member beached

tears and fears
fill moonless nights
their pooled regrets
not washed away

nostalgic longings
in hindsight of the shell 
of what might have
could have been

persistent clouds 
hover heavy dark
creeping smothering
extinguishing all light

hurtful lashings 
of idle tongues
whipping thrashing
leave their scars

sum total
the days the nights
unfurl their drama
wind up marooned
on the beach of life

Premium Member Self Inflicted

Tongue lashings are bitter
  they hurt and injure
Gnawing at both the heart
  of victim and abuser
With each hostile strike
  both hearts bruise and deaden
Hostility a most deadly poison
  injected as cheeks redden

No word of a lie striking a chord
You live by the sword you die by the sword

The End

A young child loved by many
Hid all the beatings, lashings, and hittings
No one knew what "home" was like
Many could guess but ne'er one was right
Dreading every step that took her near
Her heart sank and filled with fear.
The door creaks as she so quietly walks in 
And seeing what she saw, she knows it's the end
Not a teacher, parent, nor child from afar
Knows how bad these things are
Now a child in heaven silently scorns 
For all the reasons she was ever born.
