Premium Member Clerihew Matisse Cut Outs

Drawing with scissors was no great change
in reality it increased Matisse colourful range
Creating in form,so unique
bringing is art to its peak

Premium Member Expect Rolling Brown-Outs

      I know an ambitious politician
      His nose in the sky like a patrician
          Looks down on all others
          As voters, not brothers
      Appointed ‘Chief of Dog-doo Emissions’

Pancho Villa, Bonnie & Clyde
  Billy the Kid, Green Men in Pants

Killers, Murdurers, Abusers
  Criminals on the Run

Glorified by the bully hordes
  Reflections of watery graves ~
    These Earthly Lords

Ins and Outs

This is what life’s all about:
We barrel in and totter out.

Along the way, we smile or pout
And try our best to conquer doubt.

We may be rebels or devout,
Remain unnoticed or have clout,

Yet we survive, in flood or drought,
Our whispers rising to a shout

As we fight in our final bout;
Then, like a candle, fizzle out.

Black Outs

OMG What a day so far. Woke up at 7 to use the little girls room and blacked out again  until about 10 when the kids found me. three hours on the floor not moving. GEESH !!! Hospital still can't figure it out. Unexplained black outs and fainting is the diagnosis. Have to have someone with me at all times. HHHMMM Can I have Luke, Blake or Sammy. LOL

Premium Member Fashion Ins and Outs

This fashion is in, that one is out
    narrow waists with baggy knees
  Wide lapels and razor-thin ties
    Who knows what will be

  Slicked-back ducktails 
    top off muscle t-shirts
  hoping to attract
    coy smiles from a skirt

  My friend and I dress real dumb
    bowling shirts plugging Bazooka-Joe gum
  The girls see us, giggle, and flee
    Who knows what will be

Paper Cut Outs

People judge by sight, gossip, and even background
And when this happens they cut out "who you are"
People don't realize this but
They sometimes play right into those cut outs
When its up to you to prove them wrong
Your expectations are yours to control
And if the sky is the limit, then reach for a stars
Never live by what's said
But show what you can do
Because you not limited by shapes and sharp edges
But by the depth of my mind
