***** Trump Is Dangling

***** Trump Is Dangling

As usual ***** Trump again is dangling,
And several deals he  will be wrangling;
Deep in  debt;
Suitors upset;
Minds of many more has been mangling.

Premium Member Red Rover

A distraught driver drove to Dover
Running roughshod in his Rover,
Crushing cultivated clover,
Mangling marigolds, moreover,
Pancaking progeny of plover.
Liquor-laden lies to lover;
Outcome: outed, ousted, over.

Union That Ache

Life is the fragile substance 
             the only that can 
disappear in a breath 
             and make a bluster 
in the silence 
             mangling multiples
 hearts
             Married by the same pain.

Cavewoman's Rage

Cavewoman, sitting in her cave
Angry as hell: her best spear did stave
Vinny the Caveman is at fault
Eagerly chasing deer, he failed to halt
Witness what happened next
Oh, his mighty muscles did flex
Mangling the staff
And breaking that gaff
Never thinking of Rita's best spear!

To Think

TO THINK

the frequent mangling 
thoughtful tangling
factuation intensified by the love of the wise, is no wiseman at all, but
a commoner sequence going on and on. resplendent is the word,
complex is the verb. and the orderly brain functions that allow your
nerves to feel all is the fall.

Premium Member Tit For Tat

The cat and the dog are wrangling
I see a paw hit the canine.
A row and now a tangling.
I put my bet on the feline.
My job is to see no mangling
and not one hit at all is fine.
The cat is now fandangoing
to put the big dog in line.

How did I get in the jumble?
I try to get out and I fumble.
Hit by the cat, I tumble.
Tit and tat is elemental.
I say to the cat, "be gentle"
It may be the dog is mental.

Premium Member Mad Marvin

Paisley bow-tie
  orange socks
polka-dot knickers
  suspenders dangling

Crazy Marvin's
  testing 'wonder-drugs'
to get his bank
  account jangling

Clouds of smoke
  puffs of steam
strange whistles
  bells jangling

Delirious, dizzy
  all in a tizzy
Marvin's predictably
  mangling

A formula for
  the tutti-frutti, raspberry
bubble-gum serum
  he's angling

To shove down
  my throat ~
Help me!
  I'm strangling

Untitled

My mangling of words
begins again.
I chain up syllables
and thrash them with punctuation,
twisting them into
              emotion,
stitching them together
to offer to you.

Severed letters
pile on the bloody floor.
Keeping only 
the oozing essence of the body
I lay them
        quivering
on the page.

They beg you to read them,
                         (save them),
but they can expect
a lifetime of torture
until I lay with 
my dark mistress
in the earthly bed.
