Premium Member how to make me love you

Outguess me, outfox me, outstandingly simple to do
Wrap me in a cloud cloak with a dash of rainbow too
Like me and uplift me, so I can love you.

Premium Member mother cereal box

I have to constantly outguess, outrun and outfox
Because I am their mother said my crunchy cereal box
This mystified me; I was blank, wordless at best
I read her advertisements again, thinking this was a test.

Premium Member lovely autumn

she changes her attitude and her dress on whim
we cannot outguess her
she is as unpredictable as a wild boar with a thorn in its paw

she might shake off all of her leaves in early September
or keep them through October
she decides, no one else
lovely autumn

Premium Member Irritating Like a Tsetse Fly

She tried to outguess me. Thought she knew me.
She was an irritant like a tsetse fly.
I ran from her.
Glad I only see her every five years.
Finally realized I am not obligated to attend class reunions.
With a roomful of people I do not recognize
And have nothing in common with except for former locale.

Premium Member Trying To Outguess the Fake Detectives

Detectives solving crimes
Flashing their badges
Canvassing neighborhoods
Questioning potential witnesses
Explaining the forensics

Showing us how to taint a crime scene
Explaining blood spatter patterns
I sit in my chair trying to outguess them
Feeling smug, proud of myself,
Professional Lazy-boy detective.


Premium Member Filming Lightning

filming lightning
sounds easy
it isn’t

you have to outguess the lightning
and snap the photo
before it appears

lightning-fast is not a joke
it is real
I took seventy-six photos tonight
trying to capture lightning

four of them have lightning on them
sky is pink in every photo
not what the naked eye saw
I guess lighting is too fast to see too

Premium Member Retirement is Delightful

my day is up to me
my attitude is my choice
every minute can be great or dull
I can watch tv all day if I like

I’m watching a series I cannot outguess
this rarely happens
I read a synopsis after the second episode
it is based on a comic book series

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I am hooked at this second
When I am bored, I switch it up
retirement is delightful, my day is up to me

Premium Member Attempting to Outguess my Puppies

attempting to outguess my puppies I run outside
up the hill, next to the fort and the huge water slide
I refill their water bowls, which total up to seven
Thinking they will remember their doggy park heaven

Lethargic, they both lie in the mud glaring at me
under the tutelage of the honey thistle tree
I sit in the sun thinking this idea was a dud
We go back inside where they bring all that annoying mud

Premium Member I Am An Egg Sunny Side Up

I am the ocean, wet and mysterious
Mercurial, flexible, changeable, a chameleon
People cannot outguess me
My imagination follows a jet stream

I am a kaleidescope of colors,
orange, red, green, yellow, blue, violet, indigo
You cannot catch me; I am invincible and confident
I can barely keep up with myself

I am a tree hugger, a child lover
I am a cartoonist, painter, poet, story teller
I am hopeful and optimistic
I am an egg, sunny side up.

Premium Member If He has Isolated You from your Family and Friends

if your partner has to be mollified and pacified
If he pouts and makes fun of you unless you out-guess him
If being around him makes you feel like you are tiptoeing around glass
If you spend your days trying to outguess his angry moods

If you have been isolated from your family and friends

If everything you do or say has to be careful and deliberate
in order to not receive his wrath, and his disdain
know that you can do better.
And you should.

Premium Member Exotic Great Aunt Maude Dresses With Flair

Great Aunt Maude had a bejeweled flair
With red and blue rhinestones in her hair
Black fluffy coat resembling grizzly bear
We could never outguess what she would wear

Her glitzy outfits were worn with care
Silver sequined gowns, shoulders often bare
She entices old men on the town square
All could easily be lured to her lair.

Other ensembles could never compare
Her collars glistening with fluffy hare
Other women enjoy newest cookware
Great Aunt Maude dressed exotic as Cher

Premium Member their lifeless fifteen year old daughter

She has not bathed for a week or two
Those pajamas have been on her at least six days
She complains of aches and pains
Moaning she has no friends
Listless, lifeless, and lethargic
Her parents are beyond worried

There is a knock on the door
A friend enters
“Let’s go party!”
Their sloth of a daughter turns into a carnival ride
Leaves twenty minutes later bursting with energy
Wearing a sequin dress, high heels, combed hair and lipstick
You cannot outguess a fifteen-year-old daughter
