Ice-Cream
Down the street came Tonibell
Inside excitement begins to swell
Dreams of 99’s, screwballs and rockets
Alas! there is no change in my pockets...

Felt Fraud
Slick Joe was a famous pool ace
but his honesty didn't keep pace.
His shots hit pockets
as if guided rockets
thanks to his laser in its place....

Eaglet,dolphins and waning light,
Plane,rockets and flowing kite.
Attendant of air all are,
But eaglet boast of her star.
Now,she's is out of sight.

Twitter Twits
Elon Musk has more money than brains
So he plays with space rockets, not trains
And now he can tweet
That Trump can't be beat
Since he traded his Sharpies for crayons...

Premium Member Looking Up
So good to
Look up
To the sky
And on 
My mark
Let the
Kites go
And blast forth
The rockets
In smoke 
Filled bursts
And around
We stand
Lowly mortals
Feet in sand...

Premium Member Casualties of War
Hear the thunder sound

See the rockets soar

Victims on the ground

Casualties of war

Death from overhead

Panic in the streets

Thousands have been bled

History repeats...

The Future
How is the future?
The future says whoosh!
The rockets are orange flowers,
With fire like petals.
There’s a tube that can zoom,
Zooming through the air.
With millions of magnets,
Magnets everywhere!...

To The Moon And Back

We soared like rockets to the moon
Streaking skies heat as we swoon
Clouds amass at first
Erecting frenzy burst
Back on earth our butterflies croon

Premium Member Space Highway
To go from Mars
    to the nearest star
  Some rent rockets
    I prefer a car

  Don't dare call me old-fashioned
    I arrive there in a lick
  Cruising the virtual highway
    in just two or three clicks...
