Freddy Mercury
Wanted to live forever
Knowing he must die.

His voice, his music
Is still alive forever
Even though he died.
Form: Haiku

Premium Member He Was a Hot Shot

He was a hot shot 
Who wore hot pants
Which got him into the hot seat
Because this was the sixties
Before Freddy Mercury made it okay.

         Pop goes the popcorn

Puppets

All Associates of 
the National Puppet (walking puppets only) of 
Wales leak and 
alloy of
mercury with 
iron down 
crooked paths.

Premium Member Peggy's Poem

The star lines of Mercury were always there, 

But before you arrived I was unaware, 

Until you showed me... what was where, 

Then at my hand, I did stare….

Premium Member Mercurial Goings-On

'Tis said that Mercury is in retrograde.
Is it just an astrophysical charade —
An illusory cosmic joke being played?
Is the wee beggar's energy bill unpaid?
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Done Gone Too Far

I sailed by Mercury, Venus and Mars
Past Neptune, Pluto and assorted stars
   The virus everywhere
   It's just too much to bear
I still can't find one single open bar
Form: Limerick

Mercury In Retrograde

Mercury in Retrograde
The stars play
troublesome pranks.
Send us back where we began
back again.
We crash we wake
and seethe,
like the pull from the moon 
at night
on sand.

Sopa

Malignant, an echo of
calamity
penetrates the aura
of American freedom
as humanity
asphyxiates
an arsenal
of political fascism
shape shifting
into beads
branded by mercury
abomination
Form: Imagism

Premium Member Freddie Mercury

Farrokh Bulsara a.k.a. Freddie Mercury
British singer, songwriter known universally
Confirmed he had AIDS and then died the next day
His music through Queen still rocks us all the way

Melting the Metal Mind

Industrial love
It's the virtue and vice
and the silver cut ice
on a river of mercury neurons
Memory made
It's the liquid mistake
of impossible break
on a spiraling psyche for aeons.

Porcelain

THAT OLD CHROME MERCURY

HOT

FETID

DREAM

ALL METALLIC 

LIKE THE COOLER PLANETS 

MUST BE

ALL SOOTHING HELL 

SUFFUSED WITH SIN

AND THEN GO

RINGS

AROUND THE MOON

Premium Member Wind In My Toes

As the mercury starts to levitate,
and May hunts down chill residues,  

warmed breezes rummage the ground 
for ten sun-worshippers 
cruising in two dusty, 
floppy convertibles.

Octobers's Hope

Awareness is believing in the heart
That cherishes all and the wisdom
We gain though our strength 
In desperate times we measure
Our mercury for others 
Is the gift we Neil
To them

                                          The land is barren
                                        Oh mercury is falling

Betrayal

Mercury nights unrelieved
betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty like fame

Ursa Minor

Jupiter, your fallen house,
A strife, and unto me,
A deal that mirrors that of Faust
When Hell’s my home to be?
Mercury, you orbit close
Gemini, the Twins, am I
Side by side, am juxtaposed-
To Pluto’s ruling Sign
Form: Rhyme

Mercury Rising

Like syrup 
in a bottle neck
sticky
and slipping slowly along the side
This sorrow is
like the thick
silvery sludge in the thermometer
sliding to the boiling point
breaking through the glass in a poisonous burst

Premium Member Talent

immense
on the surface,
massive
in depth
yet 
 if   overblown..
malevolent:
a tortuous
      reflex..
..allusive
    as mercury
to grasp:
a threat
      perhaps
if
assembled
and paraded
sans
   modesty
