Premium Member prime time tv

street fights and car wrecks
fires tornadoes and police actions
westerns and witches
tv dramas
lots of orphans
death and despair
murders and attacks
not so much happiness
on prime time TV

Premium Member Who's Fooling Who

Who's Fooling Who?

Bloody murder, wild sex, torture and slime
Scammers and pushers and heinous crime
It's too much to bear
All the evil out there
Except for cable TV at prime time!

Clothes of Gold Threads

You’d better not treasure clothes of gold threads,
But cherish the prime time your youth spreads.
Pluck blossoms when they're in blooming hours,
And don’t wait to snap the twigs without flowers.

Not Ready For Prime Time

This is a love poem
But it has been hijacked, censored
Don’t lean in, I can’t read it to you
It is not for public consumption
It is not for family consumption
And it is certainly not ready for prime time.


The Quick Fix

Give us the quick fix
The easy way out
A heady dose of
Instant gratification
And we'll forget about 
The intellectual annihilation
Of sixty second news 
On BBC Three
Then prime-time karaoke
From deadbeats on ITV
Form: Verse

Viruses new

A chill in the air
For the old, unfair
Joints stiff, in pain
Without the rain

Equatorial the clime
Temperate, prime time
The laptop hums
As it does its sums

Counting viruses new
Ebola, others, a few
Plandemic tick
Effects like Arsenic

Premium Member Prime Time Interview

(Of a lottery winner on being asked
what his feelings were since
becoming an instant
millionaire.)

His answer was both aromatic
and precise.

“It reminds me of a deep
‘Profound Fart’ In that
it pisses everyone off,
yet the effect is pure
alleviation.”

© Harry J Horsman  1995

My Poetry In Rhyme

It’s unique, sublime
Eternal in space and time
It’s my poetry in rhyme
My honourable prime time.

I play with it like an innocent child
Hit all keys where I smiled and cried
Sing the lyrics of my life complied
Dance to it so free and wild.

It’s unique, sublime
My poetry in rhyme

Premium Member Playing In Prime Time

Rad non-duality

Is simply the notion

That there is no one:

No separate one

To do or to think..

In other versions

That one seems to

Linger..albeit in 

Rarer and rarer forms

To finally disappear..

A story of lingering

And disappearance

Playing in prime time...

Time After Time

Time after Time
Be my Valentine
Barely in time
As Feb. 1st chimes
Delayed lines
To celebrate
Valentine's
Fourteen times
This month in rhymes
For my Wendoline's
Love Prime time:
Do throw in a line ...
Won't you, Clement and Clementine
Carroll and Caroline
Ciao: it's past my bedtime

You'Ll Do What You'Ve Always Done

you'll do what you've always done 
stay too long 
pretending you're a suitor 
or a knight in shining armor 
and i'm a damsel in this dress 

what a mess we've made of things 
you've been content to play the part 
of an ill-suited lover 
in a prime-time t.v. sitcom 
and i've been swiftly blown about 
wearing my heart on my sleeve

Premium Member Oh Warrior

OH Warrior!

        Pandemonium prevailing amidst of devils
        Prime time to eradicate crimes and evils. 
        Oh Warrior! Slash smash tormentors: Be bold.
        Be merciless, ruthless to unsheathe your sword.

Gallstones Love A Surprise

Gallstones as big as pizza pies,
Indigestion led to surprise,
Surgeon smiled like Mona Lisa,
Did you eat that much pizza?
Fair, fat and forty,
Fatbuckles, you were naughty!
 Bells did ring, ting-a-ling,
Samaritan love did bring,
Pizza still tempts, grey sighs,
Prime time love, spark flies,
Is this a silly stage?  I say
"Looks like it!" Well, ole!

I want to write tonight
But my muse has taken flight

Can’t blame her you see
My life is quite boring 

The highlight of my day
Happens after I pray

Go to the YMCA exercise 
Then watch the news prime time

I listened to favorite songs
Off key I sing along

Tune in to Poetry Soup
For inspiration despite my mood

Today there was no pain
I’d be happy to have this day again

Life of Extremes

Prime time merry,
and blue depression of nadir,
sun and gloomy dark night,
intelligence with brilliance,
and wooden dud with dead senses,
the fairest of them all,
and the swarthiest,
the softest cushion,
and the hard glint of diamond,
swinging swaying between extremes,
we weep,cry,smile and live the life,
more than you can think,
you adjust to the mood,
and skate on on the life's skating rink.

Fall of cool Bazball no fool will still rule


Bazball fall.. still so livid

Nightmare is so so vivid

Like the day of the Triffid

In OZ were just so timid

On the ropes so so vapid

Dopes burnt hopes acrid

Defeat tropes so so rapid

Prime time to be candid

Cool fools just so flaccid

No bans ECB plans placid

Our also-rans.. so insipid

Pans Fans who are so avid

Fancy Dans woe so rancid

Badgers crow so so rabid

The Meeting Request

meet me in my hey day
when i was fresh and eager
maybe then you will figure out
the definition of my reason

meet me in my prime time
when my brightest hour was my next idea
maybe then you will completely solve
the central meaning of my season

meet me in my known zone
when the precision of my accuracy was at its sharpest 
maybe then you will truly visualize 
the the leagues in which all the waters run deep in

Words come to play
In lines that sway


Wealth comes to call
Despite the gall


Health knows the way
To better days


Verse in prime time
When laughter rhymes


Look to this day
Seize time for play


Be who you are
A dazzling star


Shine in due time
Make moments chime


Live each day well
For time must tell


Tale a good look
At this old book

dark room
lightens

sunshine
brightens

outside 
prime time

strong brew
sublime

red birds
singing

wind chimes
ringing

gold leaves
clinging

now brain-
storming

rhymes are
forming

jotting
phrases

nature’s 
praises

daylight’s
waning

eyes are
straining

no more
stalling

night is
falling

indoors 
I go

Who Will Protect Us

Who will protect us 
Is good to hope 
But depends on what 
It could be false 
It could be right 
It could be truthful
But it could be wrong 
Yet it good to hope 

Who will protect us 
In a world dying 
Were commoner 
Are meant to short live 
Dying with there hope 
Buried with out achieving
Their precious aim 
Cos their life's was determined
From there prime time 
Cos despite they hope 
They  couldn't escape
The program of no 
Positive hope result
