The feature this month is swimwear,
An answer to many a prayer:
Men shell out good loot
To eye a swimsuit,
Preferring the babe was all bare.

Horny Queen

the man with a crown on his head
has likely to spend time in bed
the Queen, misbehaving
the cause of much raving
preferring most couches instead.

Li Po, the Wanderer
Was appointed Court Poet
Yet left again in haste,
Preferring the bright noise of a waterfall
To the white noise of courtesans and kings.

Premium Member Thing-A-Ma-Gigs Hate Underwear

Thing-a-ma-gigs seldom wear underwear
Preferring bare skin to breeze in the air
With satisfaction
Hope for a reaction
Frankly you squirrels, most of us do not care.

Of Trump Washed Hands

Of Trump Washed Hands

Of Trump, we had washed both hands,
After hearing him and all his demands;
Presume maniac,
Preferring  panic;
Should see golden shower on the sand.

I'M Preferring a Tea and Coffee Over Any Whiskey

I'm preferring a tea and coffee over any whiskey,
But the tea need to be brewed, and I am very frisky,
And whiskey is at hand, to close to my wrist,
Such strong temptation, that I couldn't resist!

Premium Member I Prefer Eating Alone

the drone of gossip fills the lunchroom
maniacal laughter bursts occasionally
I eat alone on the other side of the wall
preferring to do anything else
writing poetry, drawing cartoons, loving being me.

Choices Or Chances

My parents thought giving me too many chances would be a mistake,
When so much was at stake,
Preferring to leave me in no doubt about the choices I needed to make,
Starting with what was on my dinner plate.

Out of the gates, the others raced She did not, preferring to trot The others scoffed, they were cruel Not put off, she used it as fuel For the others, it was now or never For her, it was how, and forever

Premium Member Human-Like Doggies

Are our canine friends hiding this amazing fact They are very human-like trapped in a furry wrap They chuckle under their breath Preferring to wear a dress Don't want to blow it, so on the lawn they still crap

Premium Member Finished Almost No Have Tos Today

So many have to’s.
I have done the minimum.
Preferring my day.
To keep as my own.
Holding on to integrity.
Tomorrow may be my last.
I might not even last the night.
I congratulate myself
Wasting no time
On things I despise.

Premium Member clever snakes

Snakes are clever, staying out of humans’ way
Preferring to be up at night, sleeping away during the day
I look for them in the morning, but never see them at all
At midnight, however, one is climbing my lattice work, nine foot tall.

Premium Member Sixties Colors

orange comes and gets me
excitedly showing me yellow
I smile at his enthusiasm.

Yellow winks, delighting pink
who give me a bit of love
Plaid walks by and tries to horn in

But we are all about the sixties
So we chase plaid off
preferring floral.
Join us.

Premium Member Slow To Replenish

is that a jackaroo or a jillaroo?
I am annoyed, preferring to be called ringer.
have spent the day with a green one.
decide to escape, take a walk by the sea.

broncoing has worn me out.
1080 irritates me.
I finally revitalize, feeling replenished.
thanks to the glorious sky.

Premium Member She Found Her Mothers Box

the day before her wedding
Pandora found her mother’s loony box
there were journals about her bi-polar condition
and her suicide plans.
We were glad she kept it silently locked
did not read it on that day
or any other day,
preferring to burn it unopened
after she had been married for fifty-six years.

Premium Member The Magic Wand

Rhyme scheme by Robert Frost, words by the author

The thing that makes me human 
wants a positive bond. 
That lady wisdom would illumine
me, giving me social acumen. 
I try not to respond
to one who wants to fight,
preferring peace as in a pond,
and find that giving love is quite
like a magic wand.

Premium Member My Visionary Realm

In my Visionary realm I find, Rhythmic thoughts, Bouncing inside my head. I must choose to release, or refrain, For each is lusting to be heard. Tediously, I've left behind, Those most unsought. Whilst preferring instead, in un-swept neural pathways they remain, As minuscule thoughts, not words.

Premium Member Zany Zippy Zambo

zany zippy zambo
rarely watches Rambo
preferring cartoons
watching Saturn’s moons

persnickety ways
does not waste his days
doing what he wants and only that
brought home five dogs and one straggly cat

zany zippy zambo is the king
of doing only his own thing
he had a wife who ran away
every day for him is full of play

Premium Member Dare

We used to play truth or dare
behind Saint Johns church,
with the dirty girls a few blocks over.
Most of the time we chose dare
because we were ready to feel fire.
In that darkened parking lot,
we ignored God and Saint John
they in turn understood young lust
because never once did they stop us
perhaps preferring to hover and watch-

Premium Member shirley versus stern face

Shirley sallied forth with another amusing quip
Does she never take life seriously? Asked stern face
I chose to ignore him, preferring Shirley every day
She is always joking, stern face said to another woman.
She did not reply either.
Shirley enters the lunchroom with fairy dust and magic sparkles
Stern Face brings in gravel and disgust.

Premium Member the way we are

So unhurried we do not begin at all,
preferring to remain in tranquil repose,
as divine inspirations in mind snowball,
arising from a fulcrum God alone knows,
we are as we are thus, bliss drenched and complete,
enraptured as polarities meet and greet,
conjuring a verse with no need to rehearse,
since our soul is entwined with the universe.

Premium Member The Wind Hears Many Secrets

The wind hears many secrets
As he blows at his election.
Only a hearer at best –
He mulls them over and again
But doesn’t repeat or think aloud
For there are too many to recount.

The wind also has many lovers –
Appreciating the trees –
Caressing the flowers
And cooling warm cheeks
But preferring to roam –
Blows away to a place unknown.
