Rout a 2-Toot

God's zombies just formed an hit squad
For poets whose work is slipshod
"If people don't die
Then angels can't fly!" 
If "truth" is proof, my thoughts are flawed!

Premium Member Face Down In the End

tenuous connections
porous holes
slipshod precision
damaged souls

furious, the pace
rounding the bend
a devil of a race
face down in the end

the black crow flies
the vulture thrives
countless, the lies
empty, their lives

Premium Member choosing neatness over people

His sloppy slipshod attitude
Was picked up by both daughters
His son took after his wife
A minimalist who never abided a mess
The son never let the hoarders into his house
Losing touch with his father and his sisters
Choosing neatness and cleanliness over people
Just as his mother had done.

Premium Member shoddy slipshod shabby sloppy sleazy words

the writer’s words were shoddy
slipshod, shabby, sloppy, sleazy
but many readers liked his style
his work was elevated by his followers
who bought everything that he wrote
enjoying it, because they understood it
not connoisseurs of literature,
but appreciators of familiar, ordinary, common text
with uncomplicated characters and familiar plots

Premium Member Money Is No Motivator

Money is no Motivator Pride, not Salary motivates a man to be his best! Rightly or wrongly others label us based on what they observe, Or from dialog originating at the tongue of others; If your efforts are slipshod at $15.00 an hour They’ll remain that way at $50.00 Motivation comes from within; I can’t make you do anything, But I am capable of making you wish you had.

Grape Street Blues

I consider the way
that you laugh; hair flung,
full-strung, eyes closed and young.

.

While lamplight flies
billowed white in your eyes
with a charm to disarm once-bold suitors.

.

Slipshod girl,
have all oceans in the world-
none stretch far enough to annex my desire.

.

I exit stumbling
muchly sunk, tongue-tied
and drunk on lies as sweet as the summer.

.

So doesn’t she know
that my heart and soul flow
til they’re empty, to fill her completely?
