Semi-Tarry Bridge

Tristesse fell in love with a Duke
The Duke thought their love was a fluke
But tonight at ten
All over again
They both fall in love with a spook!

Conundrums heard once too often
    pale, wither, turn humdrum

Premium Member A Blind Semi Truck Driver

Grandpa and grandma formed a senior gang.
They dressed to kill with matching shirts that hang.
Logo; Old As Hell Angels.
Three heavenly archangels,
Pit stop had to make, "A Semi," they sang.

Premium Member Semi-Salted

He deserved, but never served

As a squid just like his dad

Well preserved, but fragile nerved

All emotions were unclad

Anxiously, he set to sea

Needing moxy really bad

Waves of three, his soul set free

Now ever a salty lad

Premium Member Semi Anger - Show Me the Anger Contest

Driving smoothly
Down the road
Peaceful and free
Nowhere to go
To my right I see
I semi coming closer
No signal if you please
And over he goes
Right in front of me
Just inches away
I steam up senselessly
I burn inside, no way
Did he just do that
Oh, I’m so ticked off

Semi-Perfect Song

Headphones on and volume all the way up. She uses music to escape the world. The beat of the music is the beat of her heart. The rhythm is loud and disorganized. All of her feelings harmonize semi-perfectly to form a dismantled melody. She wraps herself around the lyrics and she becomes the song. Only problem is... no one is listening.

Premium Member Semi-Sappy Song

sweet stain of her
against the soul
a sky strong pollen... 
the purest gold-

a caress of satin,
tasting sugar seeds
for one flaming moment
we often bleed-

whorled moonlight
mangled sheets
(Hills of hell
valleys of ecstasy)

will 
hearts soar with the sun
or drift away...
will they dance together
or simple walk...walk away

Semi - Biographical Limerick

Semi - Biographical Limerick 

There sat an old guy on the stoop
Who considered his poetry poop
He tossed it aside
Then attempted to hide
Now here he is writing on Soup



Inspired by Tim Smith’s Limerick, “The Hot Mom and The Pool Boy”
and a “poopy” comment Jan Allison left on one of mine. : )  

Semi = I don’t really have a stoop. : )

Winning a Semi Through a Missed Penalty

When England play semi finals they tend to draw,
losing on penalties to teams who score more, 
someone will miss one of that we are sure,
repeating the fate of the England before, 

The tale of the shoot out we've had to endure, 
in extra time last night Harry Kane didn't score, 
but the rebound he did and the nation did roar, 
missing but winning, ironic galore

Premium Member semi protests

the stubborn semi stood on his head
you cannot make me go, he said to Ed
Ed was angry now, a trucker who never swore
You are a piece of work, metal scrap and more!

the town came to see the semi and gave support
he was just protesting his wages, said Uncle Mort
He has been on his head for sixteen weeks now, of course.
Ed finally left, riding away on a sad looking horse.

Premium Member Session With a Semi-Shrink Goddess

“Do you ever,” she asked,
“write a poem 'bout someone that
you wouldn't show 'em?”

I had to think on that one.

“Not really,” I finally answered.
Her gaze begged for more.

“My poetry's true
while the venom I spew
tends towards the prosaic
and souls sympathetic
to my in-the-moment
human condition.

I'm lucky like that,
havin' snake handlers in my life.”

“When's the last time you danced
on a rainbow?” she asked.

Over and Over

the dreamghost
repeated motions endlessly
tasks never completed
and I am
too much and not enough
right about not quite
while others gossip
at a table
the wages of labor
the weight of our lives
headstones bearing histories
as cars on the west end pass
stories told between calls
services required
a drunken cry at midnight
mistaken as love
a long drive
over a narrow road
shimmering lakes
and a call of the woods
a poem under cover seeks
the light of expression
