an old owl roosted

on sams precarious knee.

Silently washed ashore
this precarious log; from

where do you go?
My dog, on you he'll
chew... I hate you.

Until a prison, I esteem

Precarious Poem

Precautious poem glad you enjoy;
Read next one about Trump Toy;
Perfect  excuse;
Be born to lose,
With erotic tactics he did employ.

she lives in a house of cards
some say, a precarious life
she listened to no one

her own fault some say
I keep my wisdom to myself
not having her life, so not really knowing

Regime Which Would Reign Supreme

Regime Which Would Reign Supreme

What they did was to always dream,
Of an unrealistic  and rowdy regime;
Precarious;
Nefarious;
Being one that would reign supreme.

Striking a Balance

Life
offers
diverse paths.
Travel wisely, 
but sometimes dare to go out on a limb.

Premium Member Acknowledging the Value of Time

Time is precarious
Precious
Unpredictable
She melts away
Or she runs away
Or she disappears
We cannot hold her
Or rearrange her
Or beg her to give more
We can only appreciate her while she is here

Trump Put Us In Precarious Position

Trump Put Us in Precarious Position

Trump placed us in positions that are various;
Some had appeared as if they are precarious;
In does chorus,
I am notorious,
For songs and dances having been hilarious.

Sediments of Life

Sediments of life experiences may seem precarious
One’s faith and hope that they may be found meritorious
As one lies six feet underground
The hereafter will only be compound
If the Creator’s judgment finds you sinfully nefarious

Life is so Precarious...
So Tenuous...
So Fleeting...

I would be happy right now...
Just to open my eyes...
And SEIZE the Day....

Premium Member My Own Self Fanfusion

I have a precarious delusion
That there is underhanded collusion
Which causes a teensy bit of confusion
In the form of a dendrite transfusion,
Poetry, a magnificent conclusion
There is no imagination preclusion.
In my own self-fan-fusion.

Premium Member The Strong You

Robust that you are, jolly and still
Over trails of yore, folly or drill
Every step you take, slide or drift
Every stomp you make, easy not lift
Precarious it may seem, your plight not in grim
Salubrious in your dream, clarion's call in rim.
Form: Rhyme

Lost To Hope

I once had a dream.
But living in its shadow
became all I knew.

Then I saw it again.
More glorious than I remembered.
More precarious than I realized.

When I reached for it, it toppled.
Crushed beneath, I no longer see
the dream, the shadow, me.

Premium Member Donald Trump

What's with this imposter Donald Trump?

   For president I'd much prefer Forrest Gump!

      His ramblin' views I find difficult to perceive.

         Methinks he hides precarious tricks up his sleeve!

Eighteen and eighty-three
Cinema poetry
Wagons precarious
Bandits? Hilarious!
Not so gregarious
Shooting at me! 

Lightning miss yellow hair
Not too bad, pretty fair
Oregon, here we go
Shooting a buffalo
With Sam, Comanche beau
Bison for free!

uneasy
         feelings,
    subtle
         needs,
so 
     translucent
clinging,
precarious
     as snagged
            braids
of 
silk
     floating,
'til
providence
       reveals
             all
translated
upon
      our
           sleeve
