Premium Member One With the Earth

stagnant swamp
unbearable overgrowth
animals staggering
through dampened weeds
what life has this swamp taken?
what life can this swamp give?
God only knows


Premium Member October Opulence

Overwhelming, onset of October
            Ogling old owls
            Overjoyed with orange overgrowth
            Overtakes obsidian opulence.

Premium Member Viet Nam, 1966

steamy jungle
  dense undergrowth
viny overgrowth
  thickets abound --
monkeys chatter
  foretelling doom
snakes hissing
  eerie sirens --
bamboo sticks
  in the ground
spiked with poison
  puncture unsure feet...
all to protect
  an unseen enemy
raining bullets down 
  from nowhere    

~ Viet Nam, 1966 ~

Premium Member Beware of Marley Manor Mansion

Marley Manor Mansion has a reputation that is not good
Most of us avoid it, though we are tough; we live in the hood
It is down a long driveway, with overgrowth not often seen.
We avoid it like a pandemic, especially on Halloween.

One old lady got lost last year and had a horror story to tell.
The ghostly entities there looked like they crawled out of hell
Her relatives figured she had dementia and put her into a home
But today I drove by and saw seven prowling ghouls on the roam.
