coolly lurking on tree branch

The part ends with Singh’s doom.

Premium Member Macho Man Met His Nemesis

Macho Man gave Pirate Queen snickers
So she turned loose her boot lickers
Then it got worse
she made him a purse
Forced Macho Man to wear her pink Knickers

Oh! Nemesis!!

The guilty ones escape unscathed,
The innocents are relentlessly punished
The fools are adorned,
The wise are scorned.
Oh! Blind Justice,
Of Goddess Nemesis!!

Ordeal for my nemesis has begun !

When My Breath and Yours Came Together

For there in eternal passion
Our souls hath stood 
And a new life sprung to its genesis
Beyond what any nemesis can break to pieces
When my breath and yours came together

There once was a knight from Rocket town
Who lured and let his amour men down
But on a night not too young
Nemesis caught up with Doung 
When his archers incursed Little town.

Premium Member Limerick - My Nemesis

I will lick Limerick – do or die,
As my nemesis tortures, I cry.

     And some frosty retort,
But the train has left the station ~ 'Bye!'

Be my nemesis
be theoretically fundamental 
to yourself
Spit your spit in the sky fountain
Throw florid ladies out of windows
Their winkles falling away
like shredded paper

She Stole My Thunder

She Stole My Thunder!


My wretched Amanuensis
Has turned my nemesis.

By her scribbling kit
Cribbed my entire writ!

What a wretched cheat
She has stolen all my heat!

Half Way Their

I live in a land
where parallel
lines
meet
and
if i give you a brush
you don't need
to use it
Take a side to the step
See the edge where reality
meets its nemesis
and i'm on neither side

Collaborator

The traitor 
seized fond dreams
and rent my soul
on a hurdle of nails
hauling innocence
toward sour odours;
the steel nemesis
christened cosmetic
under searing light
and coerced oblivion.

This mordant assignment
Is my nemesis with physical insult-
My venerated assailant
Famed for making life difficult!

Premium Member my biggest animal fear

Some people are afraid of mice and snakes
They do not scare me; they do not scare me!
Creatures who terrify me and give me the shakes
Horses, my nemesis, giant beasts who are my enemy.
I have never fallen off of a mouse or a snake.

Elusive

Love is not an illusion
It is tricky
And elusive

Where is the girl
Leading a charmed life
She secretly covets
To be a femme fatale

Where is the femme fatale
Who yearns to be good
I am the nemesis

I desire and dream both...

Diminished Hexaverse - My Pen

My pen is my sword - 

My paper, my shield.

My desk, my fortress,

My experience– 

My ammunition.


I sit to write

And fight the fight

Into the night-

I am losing.


Poetry

Is my old

Nemesis.


I must

Conquer


Fear.
