Premium Member Night In My Neighborhood










             Neighbourly and nice
             Nadine walked her dog at night
             Nurturing to see

Wiggly Worm

Wiggzy Wormzy
Burrowing
Saying neighbourly hies
As he writhed
From top to bottom
Of the veggie garden

Wiggzy Wormzy
Waving
Sharing friendly hi-fives
As he cantilevered
From leaf to roof
Of the veggie garden

Premium Member A Man Made For Us

Accessible,adjacent,adjoining

A man made for us.

Close,connected,contigious,
Neighbourly and nigh-
A man made for us.

Mentor,mediator,moderator
'Twixt and between-
A man made or us.

Advocate and honest broker
Intervening interceder-
A man made for us.

Nameless

It was a tragic game 
between the scars 
and the sword.

The grey sky was the 
reluctant witness
of a forgiven rape.

Where the stars weep,
you will find a solar
dip of the neighbourly love.

A candle for the untimely
melt of a gaint glacier,
before the daffodils called.

The marbled smile of
a silent groom, whose bride,
went behind the glass.

Fog curtain twitched,
Neighbourly insights,
Sudden motion pitched,
Band Aided 'Lycra',
A shaping event horizon,
Of near destruction,
Short pony tail rolled,
A pendulum effect,
Why do fog curtains,
Never use nets?

We see them popping up on random streets
in a neighbourly outreach kind of way.
We don't know who to thank
since no one steps up to claim the credit
but it's the community as a whole
who benefits in many wondrous ways.

The suburbs are delighted to champion
these ecofriendly gifts of sharing ~
not only charming but welcomed pointers that
goodwill and kindness are alive and well.

Premium Member Revenge Is Sweet

I brought her some flowers and red wine
And I hoped that one day she'd be mine
Crept round the back quietly 
And I was aghast to see
Her naked with the neighbour, the swine...

"I was just being neighbourly," said he 
My ex could not even look at me
I saw her phone and real quick
Took a compromising pic
Then sent it to her friends and family...
