Now the tuba points straight at her chute.

that lost its citizens for imagined dangers.

The rocket launch recliner
propels her to the moon;
with Ativan for fuel,
she’ll be to Saturn soon.
When shortly she returns,
both feet upon the land,
and Benadryl departs,

Moonlight

With red and purple sunset
melting into blackened sky

The hummingbirds have bedded down
and shortly so shall I

As crickets sing their lullaby
into a dream I fall

The things of night begin to stir

Premium Member The Drinking Game

Initially, it seems a-plenty...
    Alas, the game comes down to this:
        the glass half-full is shortly empty;
            the ales imbibed just turn to piss.

I had no idea what that meant until the explorer showed his face
It was Indiana Pones Penguin, I welcomed him with some grace

Premium Member A JUXTAPOSED TREAT OF NATURE


A summer rain falling,
Fierce winds blowing hard;
Ping-pong hale pounding:-

Shortly thereafter,
The rain and wind are no more;
Sun's back...thunder roars:-

Nature can be weird,
Sharing her thunderstrom treats
On a summer day

The Rape of the Fig

Not of age to bear fruit
the young fig prayed ablazen.
When I mature
make mine so supple
that every man will praise them.

Shortly after she bore fruit
Her fate became a dire.
Her dreams were bent and broken down
by those whom did admire.
