With colorful dreams
More cautious 
Spends more time 
With a mirror and comb 
What happens
Am I falling in love ?

Premium Member The Broken Dream

Breaks there a dream as sad as that of "might-have-beens"
That wakes the morning bright and beautiful
And spends the day in sleep that never ends

Spends much of the time on her knees
But, son of a gun,
She finds it grand fun
To see a lad shooting the breeze

first night—
the soul’s fringe still shining hazily
the last night—
as though knowing time has come
morning comes—
a firefly spends all its light

It is rare to buy anywhere,the time,
Every person given,equal quota of time,
If a person spends,his time over you,
Honor this person weighing high!

Of her phone
Always make 
People groan

Uncle Joe spends his days on death row,
for killing his best friend and Aunt Flo.

Premium Member Shih Tzu Jujitsu

There’s a cordial, mild tempered shih tzu
Who spends her spare time learning jujitsu
Attacked by a terrier
She kicked his big dereeair
And yelped: That black eye you have really fits you!

Premium Member Going within

To go within
is to delve
with the within of things
that matter hides inside 
and spends a lifetime 
trying to gather enough
to be become conscious
and know that it knows 
and able to be visible.
