Premium Member Game Changer

When others
play by the rules,
in their comfort zones,
my spirit
craves
the unknown.

My soul
only knows
to disrupt,
to innovate,
to rewrite
the game.


Premium Member Naughty

Well limericks are supposed to be naughty Though sometimes I try to be haughty Must play by the rules Maybe talk about tools And surfaces that are holey and knotty

A Riddle

I will make you addicted but im not against the law.

 Im stronger than any street drug you'll find in the raw.

I'm evil. I'm spiteful. I dont play by the rules.

 cause even when you win. You still really loose.

 What am I?

Premium Member Madonna

Many have called her a sinner
A few have called her a saint
Doesn’t much matter to her
Ordered to disrupt the status quo
Never one to play by the rules
Nothing the same since we met her
An Icon, our Pop Queen

Time

Time

Who can explain love
When two souls entwine
Does time diminish it or does it survive
So patiently waiting as time slips away
Life journey is fading
So, what do you say?
Do we play by the rules or say rules be damned?
Time is a fleeting, lets have what we can

Premium Member Choosing And Losing



There is a game of life,
And there's a game of play.
Best of seven need not
Rise as smooth as leaven.

Not every 'all-out attack'
Results in a come-back.
To some, every game is 'a must-win'.
For others, now and then is ok.

Some of us play "to win".
Others play 'not to lose".

We must play by the rules.
And rule # 1 is to choose.

The Worst Caregiver in the World

I watched my sister fading away.
She did as she was told
Day after miserable day.
Do this, don't do that,
It's bad for you, good for you,
Mustn't get fat.
Could Nurse Ratched not see 
The harm that she caused?
The pain she inflicted
Gave me pause. 
Play by the rules,
Sound advice for some fools,
But not for this one.
I make my own laws,
Simply because
I have no wish 
To live forever.

Premium Member A Stroll Along Memory Lane

Images cascade before us
  Strolling 'long memory lane
Lithe and supple were we back in those days
  Before decades of stresses and strain

I jump high, pluck a leaf from a tree
  You twirl about and fall into me
Shops seem so tiny and quaint
  Proprietors honest, without taint

We stop at the drugstore for a soda
  Seated high atop spin-around stools
Two straws but just one chocolate phosphate
  ~ Puppy lovers who play by the rules

Premium Member Women Who Love Football - Version 1

Women Who LOVE Football
Live with PASSION
Are not afraid to FIGHT
Aren’t afraid to get DIRTY
Know how to put their GAME FACE on
Are always ready to EXECUTE their OPTIONS
WILL NEVER GIVE UP
Have a sense of PURPOSE
Are STRONGER than they think
PLAY by the RULES
Have ATTITUDE 
Will lose with DIGNITY
And will always WIN with STYLE.

Premium Member Broken

Our days are broken  
The nights drag on
How many have paid the price 
For your self serving song
You will not scare me 
I have nothing to lose 
Moving ahead
We will play by the rules 
I have learned from a master 
How to maneuver his charm 
Accountability will reign and decide the cost of harm
I did not want this 
I loved you dear
You became greedy without any fear
And now 
Our days are broken
And 
The nights drag on......................
