and returned home to take my nap.

Premium Member A Venerable Morning

a venerable morning
scorning
the absence
of destiny
all for free
for naught
is me
abstaining
politely
from this
race of man
for all 
to see

A possum of high degree
invited me
for snails and tea.

to find another place to dine.
I like my snails with wine.

Premium Member Rain, and the Body Remembers

The body remembers...
What the mind politely forgets.

How rain once meant survival
How cold once meant fear.

How being held
Was once the only gold that mattered.

producing pennywise putrid party planners
predicting positive pristine professional prunes
procrastinating, politely puffing popsicle pros


Premium Member A poetry war

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war.

Premium Member Ps having fun

peppermint Pauline persuaded perky puppies to prance their
prissy paws politely in Pennsylvania’s puppy parish. Perhaps Pauline
proved puppies are not as persnickety when they are prancing?

Dark Whispers

Language
is required
to go insane

The beasts of
the forest
politely refrain

Words
ever forming
into a net

Trapping
insanity
—the tighter they get

Premium Member The Butler’s Solution

There were once some giraffes asked to tea
They politely accepted with glee.
The butler remarked, ”Aren’t YOU tall!”
For you, our chairs are too small.
So they drank tea from outside — quite hap’ly

No Telling What Abilities

No telling what abilities he had;
Knowledge might be very bad
Being moron or case that is borderline
So was asked politely to resign
Now we are happy and very glad.

Premium Member Obedience Lessons

In the morning, my dog, I'd greet.
I trained him politely to "Have a seat",
never bluntly blurting, "Sit!",
but, I wonder, as I think of it,
why did I withhold his doggie treat,
and why did he choose me to eat?

Playing and Praying

Playing and Praying

While a piano had been politely playing,
To God was graciously praying and praying;
My fingers manipulated,
And great song created;
When fingers stopped straying and ricocheting.

Peaches 

I feel so loved tonight....by you.
Honey,
I sing to you.
And you say how good my voice is.
I tell you funny stories,
That are funny only to me,
You laugh so politely.
That's how I know you love me....

Jeremiah feels the heat forthrightly
His donations lower more than slightly
While the plate is passing
Seems surely it’s fasting
As it stops and dangles politely

Premium Member Formal Attire

There's a shindig in town where the upper class flocks
This societal stuff Joe constantly mocks
bow tie and black shiny shoes
entry for Joe they politely refuse
If you want to come in wear more than a pair of brief jocks

In Puerto Rican Skies

Faces smiling, nodding politely 
At words they don't seem 
To understand,

Show me pictures,
Showing the richness of
A faraway distant land,

Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments 
Rising high in Puerto Rican skies.

Believe It? Or Or Not?

There was an anthill that got in my way.
I politely told them to leave that day.
Move on! Be festive. 
And I shall let you live.
I put away the spray, and they obeyed.
