Bad mouthing
Imbecile ...

Premium Member Dog Dreams

She lies sleeping at my feet
eyes closed, outstretched legs 
twitching, mouthing small yips
and I wonder what she is chasing 
and if she ever catches it

Coffee Break

Lo, coffee breaks can be broken.
Mission impossible, to wit
Negaholics manage the show,
Often bad-mouthing managers.
Plans to relax workers is foiled.

Premium Member The Puppet

The Puppet By: Tom 1/20/2021 “If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck”. & After mouthing the right things, he lets others pull his strings, he’s a puppet.

Refined Sensitivities

Unwilling to be deadened
These, as make numb to
Its frequency, first screamed in
World's, for noise, cut through 

So you find me, commoner
And true spokesman for
Mouthing ugly, more so, faced;
Horrified before.

Premium Member Was That Me

When I look back 
  I don’t recognize myself

Was that me
  bad-mouthing my parents

Was I that mean
   Did I say that – to my sisters

Criticizing friends so cruelly
   always speaking foolishly

Who put that tongue in my mouth
   Was that me

Premium Member Never

Never Miracle Man 10/13/2024 At times I’m guilty of mouthing the word never, without realizing that never is a time with no end. I try following it up by saying something clever, because always, was never what I meant to intend.

Night Light

All street lights were turned off tonight
Lost souls wandering to phone light
Mouthing words of reassurance
In twined with a nocturnal dance
Strangers mingle in unison
Until battery life was done
Just as power did reignite 
They slipped back into the twilight

Premium Member Oath

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.
She only wished she could be gone...
Mouthing an oath, she carried on.
Into the shed sun never shone.
Now milk was spilling over brim!

Mouthing an oath, she carried on
Milking the cow in cowshed grim.

Premium Member Storm Comes Goes

Clouds rock up vengeful
mouthing off - ranting, raging
spitting bolts willy-nilly
But tantrum passes,
temper abates with mutters
as clouds roll on by, in sky.

Clouds rubbed, get charged up
like people pricked and prodded
build up static energy,
till the threshold reached,
out pops the lightning flashing,
thunder banging and crashing.

Premium Member AN AVERAGE DAY DOWN AT THE FUNNY FARM


Sir Billy Pig’s missing his oats Miss Piggy Wig’s had hers, she gloats But she’s looking so rough Her bum’s full of crap stuff Its output is brown and it floats! I’m advised by a pal of mine To “Never cast pearls before swine” Or put lipstick on a pig When it’s mouthing off big Miss Piggy Wig’s an old bovine!

Lining up for the buffet

The price of pliability?
We sink into penury
All for a speaking slot
At UNGASS in NYC

They’re at it again
Another talk shop
Deals on the side
We are sold out

They wax eloquent
Mouthing platitudes
Promising data and gold
Doling mining rights

They return, all smiles
Frequent fliers, all
Praising themselves
Lining up for the buffet

Facing Expressions

so the poem goes
along the nose
a proboscis bridging
along the ridge in
alphabets of aromas
mouthing wordy stomas
with stanza's scents
to write recompense
right between the eyes
seeing to a surprise
fleshing cheeky meter
poetic phrasing sweeter
'til lobed on ear and
lips whispered near in
recognizing expressions
facially i reckon

The Eternal Search

Trees are the catchers of lost human souls
Entangled in clinging wooden branches
Mouthing silent pleas to earthly passers

At nightfall peering toward magnetic stars
Hoping to freely roam the universe
Its magnificence drawing them upward

Wailing to reunite with a loved one 
From their previous earthly human realm
Longing for the eternal search for love

Echoless Silence

Reaching through the blackness
Trying to find something to hold
When all I could feel
Was the harsh damp cold
Desperately trying to block out
The emotions that poison my soul
I lay slowly suffocating
Beneath the rubble of my broken dreams
As silent tears spill from my eyes
Mouthing hollow prayers with Vodka soaked lips
This echoless silence is driving me insane

Premium Member Hands

Your hands 
in my hands
soft yet firm
moving 
squeezing
stroking
insistent
demanding.
Speaking a
half-remembered 
language
to which 
I instantly respond.

Yet I draw back
at a line,
I can not cross.
Lips mouthing 
tender regrets
while our hands 
keep talking.

I remember clearly 
the ring
in your navel,
but the one 
in my pocket 
held us apart.

Eluding The Cries

Watching a hurricane
won’t get you wet
And reading more Freud
won’t help you forget

Mouthing the words
cannot guarantee sound
Laden with fear
hiding guilt by the pound

Stated intent
broken pathways to roam 
Paring good wishes
right down to the bone

New skin in the game
and wounds that won’t heal
Eluding the cries
— and truth unrevealed

Closed-Circuit

The nest of wires
so loosely tethered
at the base of control
suffers from rigidity
while hard-linked
to each portal of
infinity

until cracks snake
the foundation
like menacing grins,
all mirthlessly mouthing
infallible truth
behind certain
fallibility:

every age rises
before diminishing
to bury discovery
as treasure precious
within the driving
will of all forms
sentient.

Premium Member Mellow

Mellow meeting mouthing misty maze
 Creepy crawlies crafting crude craze
      Dazzle dreamy distant daze
       Feeling fumbling fond face
         Seek sweet solid space
          Troubling times trace
             Sense sweet sour
                  Hurl hours
                       Ours

Brood

Over solemn matters men brood.
Whoever does not clearly crude;
One is anxious to win a feud: 
The face of Jude facing The Rude
And I say: it’s the right mood;
The countenance of The Shrewd, 
For when it is shrewd follows food.

Over the life-changing I brood
As I wish to hear The Good;
Not like leaves shake where I’ve stood 
Or, soonest, start mouthing The Rude
And sorrow drowning in The Brewed.
Form: Rhyme

The Serpent

there they sit
with their dreams
and fantasies
mouthing great
philosophies
narrating great tales
of imagined achievements,
revealing little nuggets
of despair couched
in a fatalism
of their own making.
Should I reveal myself
jolt them to the reality
of death
put an end to their charade

Or slither away 
in the susurration
of wind and grass
leaving them 
to their random ramblings
in their dotage?

Premium Member Election Day

I'm waiting for election day
When all the hoopla goes away,

All the lies and all the drama.
You're not fooling this old gramma.

You are but puppets mouthing dirt,
Spewing garbage, foe to hurt.

I want to hear what you will do,
Not old re-hash.  Give me some new

Info if you want my vote.
More lies will to me denote

The choice is an unholy sin
For least revolting guy to win.
