Premium Member Slippery Slope

A slippery slope
vote and hope.
Don’t read prior
dire straits crier.
Time to mope.

Slope In the Botanic Gardens

Steep slope
Elope. 

Ready
Steady. 

Go fast
At last. 

Skid down
Clarks frown. 

Muscles 
Angles. 

Enjoy 
Annoy. 

Pleasure 
Treasure.

              she went down the slope
               her mind in rapid decline
                  my old friend is gone

Wild weather worked a wicked prank; Bankrupt I went, then sank and drank. To be more precise Funds melted like ice, Deposited in the wrong bank. December 27, 2020

Premium Member Rise Over Run

There once was a mathematician named Swope
Who said,” In calculus, while I’m deriving, I hope
To find an function so perfect
No tangent could touch it
Lest I fall on a slippery slope"

Trump Skiied Off Side of Slope

Trump Skiied Off Side of Slope

Trump has remained far away from hope;
Tried to see things and broke his scope;
To fact resigned;
He lost his mind;
We sure wish had skied off side of slope.

The wind howls, trees sway and branches creak
Across frozen, snow covered ground
Where ice merges all around
As if life has now found
A slippery slope
On which to cope
While watching
The sun
Set

Slippery Slope

SLIPPERY SLOPE



If the world’s intentions
Were turned into actuality
Wars, famines, infections
Would cease to be reality



Our broad highway is not internet
But icy blackness without brakes
For most there is no safety net
But there must  be  - for all our sakes

Premium Member She Slips On Slippery Slope

She swims on streaming sonata of spring song, 
sailing slow sings solo in squall surge so strong,
slips on sheer slippery slope of sticky silt sheets,
on split Sitar of snapped strings she sourly sits.

Utopia's Slippery Slope Continuum

Utopia's Slippery Slope Continuum 

        Trees of pink snow bloom
     by the lake when Spring is full
           Young warriors dream

                          ...

               Old warriors walk
   Through dreamless trees of concrete 
                 Modernization

Did See Slope of a Dope

Did See Slope of a Dope

What we did was to have given up hope,
And had decided that they were a dope;
Knowledge lack;
Never bring back;
Intelligence level was a negative slope.
(Appearance looked just like some slope.)
(To have put up with was hard to cope.)

Jim Horn

So how was your poem using hope, dope
and slope.

Premium Member Ascent

Touching the soft light
Fumbling with forevermore
Releasing fumes, feelings glow,

Breathtaking, dreams trembling, awkwardly climbing,
Arrested by fate, the flow of mystery,

Triplex herbs in indigo, violet kiss
Stirring disciplines, 
Evoking her light, 
glowing beneath the unsteady crevices
Reflecting the impossible, dazzling, bright.

Premium Member Climbing the Slope

A look to the west,The sun I see
Another day is passing me
Forgot to live up, to yesterday's hopes
You'll die in a hole if you live on a slope
Effort toward balance, Attempt to ascend
Slide ever deeper, claw till the end
For each night renews, those dreams thought lost
Outlooks oft change with the melting frost
A look to the East, The sun I see
Yesterdays hopes all waiting to be

Slippery Slope

Soaring through the snowy week in glamorous attire

King of the Alpine traversing ski empire

In-bounds, snowploughing towards the opening glades

Innards begin to weaken, dignity fades

Naked snow adorned with last night's feast

Green run renamed – "Innards off-Piste"
