like modern day pirates.
Ensuring the success of the corportation.
Very safe, very quiet,

Fifty new species of dinosaurs have been seen
Because new places are being rapidly excavated
Excitement generated cannot be overstated

Dive Into Comedy

When into pool of comedy do want to dive,
Look forward to see Saturday Night Live;
Humor does exist,
And will persist,
So from modern day politics can survive.

Want To Be Modern Day Will Rogers

Weird things have existed where we live,
Like ways people will use a superlative;
Over things thought;
Few fish caught;
Some instructions to Trump had to give.

Why should I win? Didn't you hear,

Alone

A midst the frenzy of the modern day
L ingers the man who goes upon his merry way
O nly beauty calls him to be true and wise
N o paltry goods force him to sacrifice
E re his own oath he won’t be tempted to betray.
Form: Acrostic

Moved By Her

there she sat
with woven hat
in cadence to her swell
through a living hell
with words to tell
swallowed in a far away shell

my modern day senses
sense mending fences
I'm moved by her touch
her ravishing looks

Premium Member The Greatest

Cup-winner Stan
Still playing on at thirty-eight,
Inch perfect crosses on a plate;
With shimmy,side-step and dazzle
He left the full back in a frazzle;
An aging hero with twinkling skills,
A pro sans modern day frills.

Modern Day Office

Computer say’s no!
We are trapped in the gloom
Software is broken
The office is a tomb

American tech to you we plead
Save the day and our voracious greed
Look out!  Here comes the tumble weed!
We have become a dormant seed.

The empire of man

This is the empire of man,

Arson ,
Is the tongue of modern day prophets

Salvation,
In the bone and marrow of the "other"

The faith-starved stand tall,

And their monuments taller

The pilgrimage of gods to someplace holy...

Defeate On Qutation

playing for keeps,enemy of my life long entity calling me , and me calling it infamy.
 needed not to outlast the limits pushing me and me pushing it limitlessly.
 freedom hanging limiting the throat full modern day lovely calling it golden
Form: Ballade

Ambrosia Lost

Artificial sweeteners
Refreshing flavor
A modern day conundrum.
It says diet, but
Truly you’re joining
The cult of
Coke!

(The British Medical Council want to ban smoking in private cars, even when the driver is on his own.)

just a sad fact of modern day life
and then the dastard really went too far
got six months for smoking in his car
Form: Rhyme

History Repeating Over and Over

guns for hire
greed always
crushes an empire

trillions of monies
bread crumbs
for the working dummies

modern day slave labor
buy justice to be free
to rule with bad behavior

the madness of men
but in the end
they get a taste
of their own greedy medicine

Romeo

TO you it might just be paper and lead
MY words scribbled in a note
ROMEO please tell me you hadn’t left my words unread

MY bleeding heart somehow is always filled with hope
DEAR, Love that romance isn’t quite dead
ROMEO, modern day Romeo, please don’t play me for a dope

Beatle

This is not really me
Merely smoke and mirrors
Plying a day job
That pays the bills
The me
I see
Dissected into ribbons cleverly disregarded
Like a modern day beetle
Imagining all the people
Who have heard the news today and chosen to stay
Sometimes the clothes do not fit the father
