Premium Member When Snow Melts

I have frequently wondered about snow
  When it melts, where does it go

Yet my ponderings too oft lead to pollutions
  Preceding hurried late-night ablutions
Form: Couplet


Geminid

Galactic and fleeting
Galvanic completing
Gone, never repeating
Geologic receding
Glowing and preceding
Glyphs that they were reading
Gnosis they were leading
Form: Monorhyme

Sequenching

To me Thee, ‘is a sunder,
proped to one begging display
of teeming vigilance . . . what
to my Ire duth I believe?
Sweet sweet Melody preceding
me, laughter before me, thoughtlessly . . .
Carefree Notions of thee
pondering . . .

Premium Member History

The attitude towards Muslims by the majority in my country
is the same which was promulgated against the Jews preceding nazi Germany.
They who do not learn from history
are destined to repeat it assuredly
and history is repeating itself presently.

August Jazz

August were the moments we partook
During the preceding night
My eyes dissolved into cacophonies
Of everlasting rivulets
Fate never before
Had glistened so vividly
The beauteous exchange
‘twas the spate of arias betwixt us
Gradually the nexus continued to cleave
Form: Verse


The Sleeping Thief

Even sleeping 
an aura
burns in rest
slow inhalations
felt warming blood
nearness overwhelms
wicked sensed eyes open
universes traveling
discovered secrets
lay bare
wonderment known
blazed awareness
preceding sleep 
stealing my heart away 
to dream

The Lost World

Where to be found?
Lost world where Love abounds,
Adult friendly cities,
Only smiles for all, prithee,
Like the Garden of Eden,
Our Planet preceding,
After Anarchy
 and bigotry,
Our visions shall achieve, 
Our human dreams,
A lost world found,
Where Love and Peace abound.......

Premium Member Preceding Ice-T

     The very first rapper preceded 
       Ice-T by aeons and eons

     Though his rap-a-tap-tap
       never earned him lights in neon

     Humbly plying his trade in forests far
       from billionaire rapper stars

     The woodpecker taps out his tune on trees
       ~ at times nearby, have a look-see

John Bode and His Ever Lovin' Law

Whilst seated upon the commode, An astronomer, Johann Elert Bode Found a celestial law Which had nary a flaw Which he phrased in the form of an ode. Each planet you see is removed from the sun By a distance twice farther than the preceding one Not a half, I lament Not three hundred percent But just twice! (Now isn't this fun?)

Quiet

Christmas Day is quiet – 
Traffic’s light and stores are shuttered.
All the hype preceding it
Has fizzled out and puttered.

Families turn inward
And the streets are near deserted.
Temptations from the outside world
Are easily averted.

If you took all the Sundays
And you rolled them in a ball,
They might finally rival Christmas – 
It’s the quietest of all.

Premium Member The Sole Spirit

You'd inspire a fanciful thread for a poem, You are analogous to each discrete totem, And, precisely, like every preceding being, You are quirky; no other soul is apt to tying, You become entangled in the customary, And, an emphasis entails the precursory.

Preceding Today

Preceding Today
By: Inkling Al'Kallio ??™?

Like Jack and Rose,
we glow before the tide aroused.

All those promises we grew,
withered with no one to water,
and out the window they goes.

Our Hearts are shattered glasses,
took the blue app to fake bloom.

Computing whose happy the most after the row .
But soon we'll press the reset button and blaze,
seeking another heart to break.

Premium Member Limerick: Once a Mincing Mrs From Mississippi

Limerick: Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi

Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi*
Went to a bank for a fiddle-d-dee
But her girdle got stuck
And the “SS” came unstuck
That’s why Missis ends as a double P..

*No aspersions cast on Mississippians here;
the term refers to the Paleozoic era in North America,
following the Devonian and preceding the Pennsylvanian, 
of course.

To Begin With

To begin with
Solidity is a mental illusion
The world always had its holes in it
We have no end, only confusion
Change always is indeterminate
O, but where did we begin again
Don't you see
The beginning was just the effect
Of the preceding cause
So now you agree we met before
That was tomorrow
But I cannot remember what you will be
Memory has a hole in it
And the pass is falling out
Like stars, one by one.

Georgia Peach

A gentle sway
Amidst two pines
Mid summer day
One may find

A Georgia peach
About “yay” tall
Low key screech
Preventing fall

Canopied shade
From layered leaves
Pigtail braids
Adorning trees

Whistling winds
Promote the sway
That soothe her limbs
Wide awake

A humming sound
Could be heard
Before she’s found
Preceding words

Once disturbed
The magic fades
There are no words
To recreate
Form: Rhyme

Tale As Old As Time

A tranquil, Autumn stroll
Parched Northern air
The day would soon unfold
The preceding day’s heir

A humble October chill
Tickles nature’s spine
A predictable daily twill
A tale as old as time

An array of colored trees
Umbrella the path beneath
Framing the dance of leaves
As Mother Nature breathes

Home, is soon in focus
As their walk comes to an end
They blow a gentle kiss
In hopes they meet again
Form: Rhyme

Intervals

Intervals

Time
lapsing
repeating
a breathing space
respite from preceding activity. 

An interlude that accentuates breaks
and goings on
preceding
silent
gaps.

Thus,
rending
beautiful
flowing music
enlivening auditory delight.

Giving patrons harmonious pleasure,
happiness born
through music
or words
paused.

Premium Member Porcelain Peacocks

Porcelain peacocks strut in starlit shower, drifting as clouds on an emerald lawn. Black Narcissus spindles in oxblood flower in teeming beds before the coming dawn of floating white as night would then be gone, its smoky quills of porcupines receding to a memory as effervescing rays of morning glow would begin, preceding butter sun with cumulus as dressing in an azure sky and daylight's blessing.

Premium Member Awakenings

Cool overnight rains, bear a fresh burst of spring,
Peach and pink hues grace gardens, youthful playing!
Pale lemony sunshine, at warmth's golden beginning,
And everywhere you roam, there's a novel happening.

Pink butterflies in circles, a bronzed loop de loop,
And masses of cherry blossoms, preceding red fruit.
The grass so green, pearl dewdrops gone one by one,
Like the shadows that flee, in feverish awe of the sun!
Form: Rhyme

Threshold

Burst into that tight cleavage
In search of a dept non had reached before,
In a darkness so sweet and embracing
Pumped up, with vigor the thrusting continues
An endless wave of moans drowns the background

Yes! Id hit edges and probably bruise
Yet I persist
A lingering joy awaits in accomplishment.

In what seemed like seconds of eternity
I arrive, a boyish smile preceding
An arrival met with utmostly great enduring pleasure.

Through Agony

a battered soul
forced to choose
between the way
dark paths obtuse

Accept defeat
no strain to bare
except the pain
is nothing fair?

why must I hurt
while others live
my heart has ridden
your callous shiv

the path I follow
seems dim at first
but light preceding
unrivaled thirst

step into swamp of sorrows
blight
swimming through agony
with the temptation to
end the suffering
end my suffering
and drown in sorrow

Premium Member A Changing Script

He would love to wake up each day
And play along life’s merry way.

But as he wakes up from the dead
And rolls on out of his bed.
He heads off to work instead.

She was often heard to say,
She’d rather go to work than play.

So, with this notion in her head
She rolled on over in her bed
And thanked the lord for the man she wed.

The preceding lines a day in time.
When you stay together for a lifetime,
The pronouns oft get turned on a dime.
