The Perils of Internet Dating

There once was a granny called Vi,

With dentures, peg leg and glass eye.

Many photos I’d seen,

And expected a teen -

Who says that the camera can’t lie?

alas, I had zero progress to show.............

But I explained (it did fascinate her)
knowing I'm a big procrastinator ;-)

ah, the perils of intermittent fasting...

Cravings call my name at night, cookies whisper soft delight; willpower flees out of sight~ salad waits alone.

Life

Life:
Not a swift race,
Rough journey.
Perplexities and perils on the way:
Patience.

Dreamed:
A brave heart,
Endure hardness.
Under difficult circumstances:
Prominence.

I thought I needed a wheelbarrow
Ordered a blue one and was cleaning up my yard piles
When I discovered the identical one, I had purchased last year
The perils of being a spendthrift!!

Mountains Tall

Death I beseech you,
Scream perils in my mouth,
Of decaying mountains and dilapidated rivers,
World unlike world,
Earths unlike earth,
Fill my pockets with star rays,
I shall wait one more day.

Love makes us guys come apart at the seams Acting like schoolboys dreaming young dreams Walking into walls Running naked through the malls Oblivious to perils that have become routine

Premium Member Reading To Toddler

With a sweet swish and a swirl
Six silly swilling simple swans swam in sight of Sweden town.
IT DOES NOT SAY THAT!
Perils of trying to change any words 
During the reading of a three-year-old’s favorite book.

Godspeed

Through the storms through the perils
To REACH YOUR HEART I've been through
Suffered much endured so much
Survived it all, I brush it off
for my heart is as strong as any obstacle I face
Im swift I come with Godspeed

Premium Member Foils and Perils

Foils and perils
Horrifying and terrible
Well documented after the fact
Misunderstood totally at the time

Fouls and perils
Shoved to the back of your mind
To be brought out and made fun 
During family gatherings

A Limb and a Muse

I walked down a road called love,
why didn't they warn you my soul,
that the road is full of booby traps.
With all manner of untold perils..
you my soul would be captured
never to be ransomed again Eva..

Perils of Love

I walked down a road called love
why didn't they warn you my soul
that the road is full of booby traps
With all manner of untold perils..
You my soul would be captured
never to be ramsomed again.

Caveat Spender

Caveat Spender
by Michael R. Burch

It’s better not to speculate
"continually" on who is great.
Though relentless awe’s
a Célèbre Cause,
please reserve some time for the contemplation
of the perils of
EXAGGERATION.

Premium Member Hidden In the Snow

==================================

Flakes from earths thin winter coat

coat lakes where skaters spin below.

Below the ice on which they float,

float perils hidden in the snow.

Premium Member The Perils of Being Our Age

Dog demands attention and food.
Loves to be petted.
Rolls around on the floor like a pig in slop.
Legs in the air.
My husband claps.
I clap.
Her one trick.
She is the only baby who still lives with us.
The perils of being in our sixties.

Premium Member Winds

Treacherous strong winds
Wind untamed, wild and cruel,
Invisible strength.

Leaves swirl, dance, and spin,
Branches groaning under weight,
Nature’s treachery.

Path fraught with danger,
Wind howls, warns of deception,
Unseen perils lurk.

We Are Poets

We rhyme with wonder,
 add aroma to art;
build with pen and pad.
We wield wealthy words
and give them wide wings.

We are nothing
but pencils in 
the hands of he
who owns our heart.

In pains and
perils, in
peace and war,

we sail.
We are

Premium Member Sound of Siren

Sirens in more than one direction.
First responders 
My soul quiets as I listen
They seem close then further away
As they leave I feel my breath leaving
And I realize I have been holding it.
I relax for a few minutes until the next siren
Perils of living in a city
