Premium Member Lies, In a Box

You gave me a box of darkness
Disguised as a heart of love
You locked my peace inside it
Then paraded for all the world

Premium Member Cocktail Hour

The carefree invitation
belied the anxious creases
   in her gestures

Tense hors d'oeuvres
paraded past frozen smiles
   invisible the pale moon

Life; And Who Was Born Too Late

Referred to as but of one
Wears, for both, outmoded
Forms on its stage
Through dress and speech, casual
What's paraded and proud
'The shameless Age'.

Premium Member Jealous John

Jealous John was angry all the time
His words were poison filled with slime.
Mother was a horrible drunk.
Home life had him in a funk.
His sadness paraded in the grime.

Premium Member When the Toilet Paper Roll Is Almost Empty

My feisty Yorkie, who has a bag of personality, 
Got hold of my last roll of toilet paper. 
Attacking brutally, mauling half the roll.
Paper confetti flew around as it paraded, looking gratified.

Premium Member Talent

immense
on the surface,
massive
in depth
yet 
 if   overblown..
malevolent:
a tortuous
      reflex..
..allusive
    as mercury
to grasp:
a threat
      perhaps
if
assembled
and paraded
sans
   modesty

SPY

Numbness poisoned flowers
spooky nights serenaded
with chattered cowers,

wounded grasp cascaded 
panicked voices bloomed
mother's smile paraded

with gleams doomed,
yearning hopeless answers
as death roamed.

Admiring a Full Moon - Trochee

A full moon, she paraded amongst subdued stars A bright sun swooned then faded admiring afar How the sun's love grew brighter His moon boldly smiled Hanging full, she grew wider her shape had beguiled

Fantasy Zap

All boisterous children decide excellent fantasies. 
Generated: happily, lusciously, jokingly…
Keeping laughs minimal; nuances openly paraded.
Questions remain somewhat terse.
Universal victory watches xenial yelling zap!

Premium Member The P's Have It

Paula’s partying parrot paraded pridefully past Pete
Particularly poised Petunia pranced persimmon sweet.
Pete preferred Paul’s personality, plowing past Petunia’s pail.
Quizzable questionable quandary quickly confusing quibbling quail.

Kind of In Hillary Book

Kind of in Hillary Book

Trump likes to be in parades.
In front of course.

By Trump, we have again been invaded;
As all around he paraded and paraded;
Off does show,
Where he will go;
Embarrassed so faces covered and shaded.

Holocaust's Nameless Victims

Bright yellow badges proclaimed their faith
Paraded like nameless cattle
Counted and cooped as poultry
Numb and gelid they lay
Only thing alive
Was A desire
For a smooth
Kiss of
Death

Comfort

There’s comfort in conformity,
The dry herd steps forward to give 
Filed sighs, an enormity
Of purpose, peppered like a sieve
With empty space, paraded fast
Through love and loss, to lie and live,
Splaying bones to yawn death at last,
Our time to pass, we won’t forgive.

Premium Member Capricious Hollywood

Through the looking glass
An undoubtedly strange place
Gold doesn't always glitter there
On their glory days
Film stars are festooned
And paraded around town
When they fall from grace...
Even once, they're hog-tied
And thrown off a bridge!

Caged

A bird denied her freedom,
Caged from Her family,
Caged from the world,
Released only to be paraded around..
To fly on command,
To come when she was called...

Her song has gone...
Her fire extinguished,
The cage is all she knows.
Ahhh what she would give to be free...
To be free...

Premium Member The Evil Place I Remember

Evil spit its ugly face into this place.
Lighting was less than tolerable.
A feeling of ominousness paraded into my heart instantly
I don’t like it here, I whispered to my companion.
But she was gone.
Who knows what took her?
I never found out
And this was October 14th, 1975.
I have never returned.

Premium Member Ego


true feelings 
concealed craftily
beneath the sheath 
of saccharine psyche 

fragile fantasy 
of self sanguinity 
fostered
by colors 
of chameleon skin

spurious emotions
sprawl surreptitious
pretentiously 
paraded skillfully
away from 
edge of reason
epitomize deftly 
camouflaged ego

Premium Member Fancy Schmancy Corgi Nancy

fancy schmancy corgi Nancy
Dressed all up, and acted prancy
with floral tattoos on her pretty hips
she paraded around in bleeps and blips

Who does she think she is? Asked Bean.
She is the queen, she is the queen.
Nancy nodded, her fur all bright with gleam.
Her parents smiled, she was their sunbeam.

Things

What is it that we keep to ourselves
Those things not for others to delve
We keep hidden away from the crowd
Not to be taken paraded and bandied out loud

Do you think about them all the time
Telling yourself it will be just fine
Or do they fester and bubble away
Taunting you whilst you keep them at bay.

Premium Member Day of the Dead Honors

November first, day of the dead
Full of traditions, honoring the fallen
We light a red candle at sunset
Lay a table of food for the deceased
Eat sugar skulls, signifying bringing dead to life within ourselves
Masks and signs are paraded in a festival’s procession
Celebrating the cycle of life and death
November first, day of the dead

Next Neck

She struts on oval stage
Ready rage
to tantalize
and also scandelize
With weighty witty
paraded poetry

prehaps pretty
lies lovely
in ice
cold cries

Or other emotional expression
of ornry agony ages

music mages
steal slammer's show

She shivers

gathers guts

walks with

 silence

spoken word

left to echo, unheard

Premium Member Yuzawa, Japan / Ryokan Onsen / Fall 2008

The overcast sky wept quietly.
It’s tears joining with the Earth’s breathe.
Mountain peaks and ridges covered with evergreens
pierced the roiling, gray firmament.

Parasoled people paraded past shops, 
selling candied ginger and quince.
Road weary tourists bathed their frozen feet 
in street side hot springs
And, so, the day commenced.
