Idleness

What hardship
Is joblessness? 
Soul searching endlessly
Roving depth in height
Beasting and feasting
On treacherous quagmire

In the mouth of desire
your words drip fire,
enticing me to the pyre
of a singular quagmire
where you are the supplier
of this drug called love.

The Eternal Dawn of Blissful Bodhi

Mired in a quagmire
Of quicksand and sin
Why not forsake rayless
Dusk for the eternal
Dawn of blissful Bodhi?

Premium Member Pulling Me Gently

pulling me gently
into a quagmire
not in a quicksand way
but slowly 
methodically
sneakily
steadily
until I disappear
into wet cement
forgetting
I ever
was


Premium Member Queens of Quasi - Mar 18

The quivering quitters, quaking and quacking
In quite a quizzing quagmire, quietly
Quash their qualms. The ***** quest they have acquired,
Is a quandry of quantum quantity.

Premium Member Frosty the Snowman

Listen to poem:
Frosty begged his nose to blaze bright red,
Rudolph’s famed legend had gone to his head.
One night he stole a coal from desire's fire —
By dawn, his dream for glory became a quagmire.

Newest oldest modern quagmire

the merely bourgeois, so-called collective Western world:

dysfunctional political economy, broken system w/ a

population neither able to solve the problem, nor willing to solve it.

Premium Member Thought of the Day

Dipping our toe in the stream of desire
We wished to withdraw but our toe did not
Thus we were plunged into a deep quagmire
Standing there transfixed, watching body rot

Quetzal birds are sacred,
quite a beautiful bird,
quiet most of the time,
quivering songs haunting,
quagmire of tall trees home,
quick flashes of colors,
quizzical amused face.

A quiescent quiver
haunted the quagmire,
a quandary of purpose
overshadowed the quest.
The quadrangle protected
its secrets in silence.

Remnant

Burnt

ashen

ground

humid

dusty

quagmire

I rummaged in my hands

blackening fingertips

and felt peace

it was what was left

of her last letter

that had freed me of all

fetters.

If there's one thing I've learned walking life's shores There's so much more to life yet to be explored The moment we stop In a quagmire we're caught Our minds must stay open to a whole bunch more

Bourgeois quagmire


In the corner

they've both been backed into,

dog eats dog

push come to shove.

For the umpteenth time.

We mustn't complain, 

must just get back in line,

celebrate "freedom"

and "choices"

or else.

The mind is a quagmire of weeds:
a crowd of what we think we know
leaving little room left for new crops 
of creativity....

How far out did Einstein go?
At first thought speculative nonsense
his time altering relativity....

Rolling

Rolling

Round and round down the hill
Riding in a tire
Revolves like a windmill
Rotates faster faster!
Reeling wildly and shrill...
Rubber meets quagmire. 
Remorse—after the spill.

Trump Caught In a Quagmire

What if Trump was caught in a quagmire
Had gone over his body and entire
And he became so deeply involved
Missed evidence and mystery not solved
Did not re-enlist and contract did expire.

Lost In Abeyance

Immersed in the quagmire
of finding yourself

The search tunnels deeper 
 through canyons undwelt 

Absorbed in the moments
your fear would disdain

Time lost and abeyant
— in search of a name

Picnic

~Picnic~ There once was a girl from Staffordshire Who wanted to picnic but the weather was dire She packed up her basket And then threw a gasket As the field she went to was a quagmire

Listen to poem:
Lurking in the murky mist
a glimmer lies peripheral.
Invisible to the blaze 
of stare-eyed gaze, 
uncertainty is determinant.

The gist is missed
until you look away, 
disengage, and let
the quagmire ooze 
belch its quintessence.

rough and tumble fight fight fight
F.B.I. show on TV tonight
jackhammer sounds, gunfire too
battling a huge quagmire in blue

bodies flying through the air
grabbing guns without a care

Vindication

Many a confession is more than a sin injurious
For you may seek to a harm alleviate
Mumble for words and make assumptions erroneous
Yet do sink it and quagmire aggravate

So never torpedo an apology with an excuse
Destitute of exploits,your atonement is of no use.

A Big Crude Demoness

A big crude demoness
                 Entered fabulous Garnet Hotel Inn
                     Juggling kettles, looting money
                  Netting oodles, precocious quagmire, 
                 Respite-- she thankfully undressed--
            Voluptuous wench, *** yodeling, zonked.
