Premium Member Life

We often experience life
Likened unto a basket of Peaches;
One day life is colorful, warm, and fuzzy.
Then later we find ourselves wrinkled,
And just the pits!

Premium Member My Sister's Pre-Marital Wake

I must be nutty as a fruitcake
      for attending my sister's
         'pre-marital wake'

      So I served her Arsenic 'n Rum in her steak

Hark

When the hairs are done 
Singing the years 
Total sum
Grey with the journey
Filled with wisdom
Stored sharing
Looking upon
Mistakes of children
In likened halls gone 
Standing to lend 
Strengths mellowing 
Casting
Smooth sailing

Graceful Showers

fresh rain drops return

Premium Member Obituary

Obituary

Singular
Although many
All have the common thread
What the years have given them
Have been taken  

Only relatives have interest
Or data keepers at best
The likened groups 
That they belonged
Are waiting 
Who will be next

Reflections

Reflections on a window
Likened images that mirror the yawning morn

Etched in solitude
Always shifting at the hands of time

Perpetually racing the suns arc

Painting chaotic kaleidoscopes at its zenith
To peeling away layers at dusk

Where upon a silhouette of moon beams
That dances in silence
Along its inflected soul

Girlfriend and wife

If wife is likened to a storm,
What of girlfriend by the same norm?
A sweet little warm breeze
Lent on a short-lived lease,
No more than an overnight dorm.
Or sunshine, if you may,
On a grey cloudy day--
You wait and wait, feel nary warm.

Premium Member The Trail

The trail led to a mountain top unveiling a becoming view there not expected to be seen- and knew we found a peekaboo to an attractive, bubbly scene likened to a movie prop. Effervescent was the blue lake framed by the verdant spruce and pine. Pure and untouched for nature's sake- a harbinger of peace divine.

Every Seed You Sow

M-an's life is too short, 
A-s it's likened to a vapor; 
R-emain worthy before God, 
Y-ou will receive sacred favor.

R-eap what you have planted, 
O-n the twenty-ninth of June; 
S-ow the seeds of love, 
E-ach must be in tune.

R-efrain from doing evil, 
E-vade the endless sorrow; 
Y-ou will harvest the fruits of
E-very seed you
S-ow.

Lucky 8

Oh that such a PARAGON would appear
As one unexplained REVELATION only for me
Of the purist PULCHRITRUDE I can see
BLAZING toward me from one so dear
And having someone ADORE you this much
Is likened to avoiding a sinking of the EIGHT ball
Though it is somewhat of a DISCOMFORT should it fall
There's no denying CHARISMA laced with a magical touch

Spoken

The chaotic sounds of 
a conflicted emerging thought
pushed and pulled 
Impending anguish is wrought
Words jigsaw a
jagged puzzle
Likened a bursting hose with 
A busted nozzle
Firing out in a rushed frenzy
No time for sorting beginning from ending
Hoping to re-ingest 
as it spews out a flurried mess
Too late as it flows past cheeks
Knowing instantly the havoc it reeks ...

Premium Member Life Is Likened To a Big Classroom

Life can be likened to a big classroom,
Sometimes it takes years to pass the test.
Each failed test one is filled with gloom,
Life can be likened to a big classroom.
Babes are taught things while still in womb,
In this journey of life, one must do their best.
Life can be likened to a big classroom,
Sometimes it takes years to pass the test.

Panther

Once the gentle panther was loved by all
save dragon, the Devil, who hid in fear.
Believed to be good it held all in thrall
likened to the life of Christ held so dear
for rising after three days’ rest to call,
roaring so loud and sweet none failed to hear.
But wild, they follow to a fatal maul
with a sleek panther of face so frightening,
hidden from prey then killed like lightning.

A Mermaid's Tale

Trump's newly-appointed EPA Chief
Found himself buried in EPA grief

To prove he was no party-pooper
He likened Trump to a Giant Grouper

Swimming against an almighty current
Where even the sharks were no deterrent

"Forget the  'U' and immigrant no-hoper!
I'll rename that fish, "The Slippery Groper"!

Well,  Congress agreed to just let it pass
That's God's honest truth, you bet your wrasse!

Untaken Opportunities

May the narrative of your life
     be one likened to the torrents
    of a creek surging eagerly
   against the rocks and boulders,
  bubbling, gurgling, splashing
 down the slopes - - 
so gleefully!


      May it not be a woeful account
     of many what-might-have-beens
    shrouded in sorry, sordid tales
   of last-minute, scared hesitations,
  of wasted, untaken opportunities
 now remembered - - 
so ruefully.
