A czarina whose needs couldn’t wait.
Rumored to have a private stable,
with horses….if her Cossacks weren’t able.

Lies can twist a tongue, 
its like being stung, 
by a bee full of fibs, 
that's spoken on rumored lips, 
remembering them alls a joke
forgetting all the ones you've spoke...

We teen girls were in awe of her~~this gem among the pebbles,

a young success who shared her wealth~~but lonely, it was rumored.

If someone had befriended her, would she be gone~~by her hand?

There once rode a tall man with a mask
It was rumored he drank from a flask
Because wherever he'd go
He'd tell his horsey Hi-Yo
And a man named Tonto shrugged, "Don't ask."

Many tennis teams, come to our valley
It is rumored they "volley" with Sally

All those balls in one court
She will have to resort
To a scorekeeper's card to keep tally !!

I’m happy as a pig in poop
cavorting through the soup
this lovely day
some internet play
I’ve been lacking due to goop

*it’s been rumored the recent poor internet service was caused by moisture getting to the fiber optic lines.  Sounds a bit goopy to me;-)...

Jilly took a tiny sip of the cool cavern waters
Rumored to be healing.
This tiny taste felt magical.
A voice in her heart said,” If you believe, you will be cured.”
She gave herself to the will of the brook.
Expecting her affliction to leave her body forever.
And so it did....

Rabbits


Resplendent ears and tails,
rodent-like; but unlike
rats or mice, they are loved.
Renowned for Easter, they're
rumored to lay eggs; while
rural hares, their cousins,
routinely grace menus.

Her name is not given in the Bible
which is perhaps fitting as she was chattel
and Lot named not his goats, sheep or cattle,
although it was rumored that he named his dog.
Besides, it was raining when she turned looking
back on Sodom and was turned to salt, which
all too soon, was one with the earth....

someone told
me about
someone that
was told
to them from
someone
else and

so in the
way of Picasso
i won't 
borrow but steal
from if
what you said is
true or

not for
now it is rumored
so to
quote from the
supposed
source no one

knows 
who owns
the right for
me to say what's

wrong...

'Tis rumored that Nero was just fiddlin' aroun'

While Rome was ablaze consumin' the town!

Tho' the name of the tune he played ain't recorded in history,

And I reckon will ever remain a mystery,

May I propose for posterity and on this matter shed some light,

I suspect he played "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight!"...

SHADY LADY   
There once was a lady who loved to face the sun
      Following it as it crossed the sky,
Particularly between the hours of eleven to one.
      But  no one could figure out why.
Some said to develop a sunny disposition
      To overcome a previous condition
For  it was rumored that this lady
      Had a background that was shady....

Rumors of spirituality, rumors of knowledge,
kings and queens of the past rumored it wisdom.
Rumors very existence hails patronage,
providing comfort through a baby’s thumb.

As time engulfs solidifying thoughts,
traveling faster than the speed of light.
A spiritual transference of Pandora’s box,
opening it’s insatiable appetite.

We assist mistakes......

I saw you waling down the halls
Acting like you owned them all
I hated you
We were through
Simply because your mother did not approve
I blamed you
I was stupid.

You avoided me
I had on and off feelings about you
You were all I could see
Your friends came to me with words of rumored death
I din't know if it was true
I knew what I had to do
After all, I do and always will love you....

It has been rumored that a new market has opened in town
Filled with this and that
The odd thing about it is
Nobody knows where it is at
It did not take long for the town's people to raise a fuss
Protesters holding up their signs
"Why is the markets hidden from us?"
After that there were arrows with flashing lights
All of the way to the store
The irony is that a sign read "closed" 
That was posted on the door...

The pilot lights are lit
Vulcan rumored from the pit
The Earth sustains but birth pangs
murmured rumbling to reverb the source of it

Anger and frustration diversified a Cross the Nation
Lines are drawn, in the heart, devastation
On the mind and the screen
Tribulation
To strip clear any notions that pursuit will be escaped, by those forces seen and undseen with no part sold to the occupation
O just wait
Just
Wait...

Fake!! Fakers, are
the real of the nameless
with many id's,paper dolls
and rumored boy toys,
white-collard polo's
straddling Marlboro horses,
or maybe ushered in
like dream team Barbie
and holocaust Ken
Golden wheat field,
trade; for black water
God handed "here you go
Mother nature," 
into velvet rooms,
with tantric lust,
behold tight tits
and parched tips,
for fame of child
green changeling,
not of a summers dream...

Crab-apple trees; flush
As the autumn hues ripen
Oak and maple leaves 
Coloured red, gold, and orange…
Gently fall -- covers the earth 









Tanka
Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry related to the haiku with five unrhymed lines 
of five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables. (5, 7, 5, 7, 7)
The 5/7/5/7/7 rule is rumored to have been made up for school children to understand and 
learn this type of poetry....

Our collective memories
fade into legends
the old way begin to falter
our pack is diminishing. 

We trusted you
shared our ancestral home
and you defiled our sacred grounds
with brazen disdain.

Now the mountains echo
whispers of defeat
icy winds give voice
to the forests
the meadows
to grief.

Rumored undone
we are not defeated
But, you'll never understand
the Great Spirit is our sire
the Earth is our Mother
and in spirit we are one....

Hearsay and Heresy shared Chocolate Kisses
Succulent sweetness for raising desire
Some say the fillings are hotter than fire
The wrappings of tinselly colors do tell
There’s nuts and there’s raisins and maybe some mints
And a few full of peppercorn poppers as well
Dreaming and Scheming were watching in wait
Hoping to share in the promising tasting
But Envy and Greed were playing with Fate
And Heresy 's chocolate fingers
Or so it’s been rumored and said...

Cook Minogue had created an elaborate confection
I heard that many connoisseurs lined up for inspection
One of the cooks was hauled away during the extrospection
Whispering was heard that included devious deception

The sweet meat created was rumored to be borderline perfection
It was said that Cook Minogue fainted during the ultimate inspection
I can neither confirm this story or render it mute with rejection
I was too busy watching the others, a thorough extrospection....
