Premium Member Houdini's Nation

Amazed by each demonstration
of the illusionist's innovation 
More than mere prestidigitation 
Worthy of a standing ovation

Standing Ovation

Bright sun and cool breeze
Through green branches of tall trees
Along the park's trail

Reveal whitest clouds
And birds in flight and song as
We walked hand in hand

Bawdy limerick

An actor who’s called Tu Hung Lo
Starred naked in a seedy show
At his standing ovation
Couldn’t hide his elation -
Came back on stage in dickie bow!

And the Oscar goes to………..
your performance was brilliant.

But don't think for a second that
I will give you a standing ovation.

Congratulation 
winners,
Poets
Saints
And sinners.
I reached the semi's
Now read in awe,
Inspired hands
Who beat my claw.
Have not met
All of you
Or said hello,
Allow
standing ovation
While enjoying your show!

Niagara

Cascading into the abyss
With a roar of a thousand lions
Echoing down craggy canyon walls,
Plunging and carving solid rock
Into a mad torrent;
Yet the finer misty droplets
Billow above like a standing  ovation 
To God  for a creation 
Only his hands could craft.

Premium Member Don't I get a turn?

I want to be heard
I want to be listened to
But not if I have to compete for attention

If it's my turn
Let me hold the microphone
Let the spotlight shine on me

I don't ask for much
No standing ovation required
Just a nod to show you heard

Just Behind Home Plate

At the pitcher’s mound, for the Arkansas Razorbacks,
The scarecrow faces the crowd and sings, “Bring Him Home”
From the Broadway Musical, “Les Miserable”
Then, he receives a standing ovation from a flock of
Black crows chatting and eating buttered popcorn,
In the front row box seats, just behind home plate

The Magician Politician

There once was a great politician 
Who was also an outstanding magician 
His act was first class 
As he disappeared up his own ass
It always brought a standing ovation.

*This limerick is dedicated to all those fine representatives of the people who say one thing and do the exact opposite whilst holding their constituents in contempt.

Just Like a Happy Tune

J-ust like a happy tune, 
O-pening the big occasion; 
E-vent that's so special, 
L-isteners in standing ovation.

A-n upbeat dance song
L-ets all attendees smile; 
M-elodious twirl on the floor, 
O-ne joyful moment for a while.
N-ight even is much better, 
T-wenty-fifth day in June; 
E-vening either is brighter, just like a happy tune.

Premium Member Standing Ovation

In one of her melodies of sundresses, Heavenly Light erupts in full blaze, well dressed in yellow, orange, and caramel. The audience is passionately waiting to bathe in her extraordinary performance, of her golden rays. With the evening coming to an end creation cannot hold back with a standing ovation.

Meeting You

I have never wanted to give someone a standing ovation until I met you, until I heard the six-string orchestra that is the spirit of your backbone, until I investigated the fingerprints others had left under your eyelids, until I met the ghosts you were sleeping with, until I discovered the scars in places you can't even talk about, yes, you make me feel like applause.

Starring



                 What if each of us are the Avatar 
of a reason to be.
A type of firmament principality.
Of what is, in expression of personified- inalienality.

A manifestation, of a kiss, bliss, a smile, 
pregnancy, fomentation.
A certain romantic look to the sea.

What I feel is, everyone has a reason to be.
That, is a beautiful thing, 
in standing, ovation.

Encore

Stand.
Deliver.
This musical quiver
from the ceiling tip top 
of the high stratosphere-
Wait.
Ignition.
A fluid revision
like lightning in notes
we can taste as we hear-
Breathe.
Composing.
sounds for supposing
a dream blown explosion
to tether each psyche unique-
Rise.
Finale.
While hands to clap rally
a standing ovation
the height of these lungs at their peak-

Premium Member Dreamy Sea

Blue green beach
nature's sweet symphony
sand dollars thrown like roses on stage
the eyes of the audience in a captive trance
always a unanimous standing ovation
each mouth slightly parted and in awe
as the curtain sets on a
Dreamy Sea.

Premium Member Turned Out Trimeric

I started flirting with fire,
so intoxicated by incense.
This heart’s hell on wheels, 
these shoes demand I dance. 

So intoxicated by incense,
breath snuffed and passed.
Eradicated with your graze.

This heart’s hell on wheels,
receiving that standing ovation.
A core memory for my mantle.            

These shoes demand I dance,
succumb to bared emotion.
My body and soul turned out.

Sweat drips backstage, mouth parched, heart beating at a sprinter's pace.
All eyes on me, as lights dim with spotlight honing on mic and lips.
Words flow to a standing ovation - I soak it all in.


One of the highlights for me in 2023 was performing spoken word for the first time on stage in front of a packed auditorium. It was a memorable experience and probably the greatest in my creative pursuits.

The Greatness of a Country

The greatness of a country 
lies in its fortified unity:
one soul, one mind, one ideal;
woe to him if truth
does not honor his promised words,
they'll strip his title of all
dignity and pride...
many before him have sworn 
an oath of true infamy.

He salutes his flag
in a military pose;
silence fills the hall,
the voters give him
a long standing ovation:
he's their President.

Premium Member Tale of Artistic Crocodile

artistic crocodile refused to wear clothes right away
I will paint a camouflage instead, he used to say
his mother gave up, but his dad pouted a bit.
Thinking his son looked kind of like a nitwit.

Someone new to the Everglades made Artistic a movie star.
He was given a standing ovation, and that was just in the car.
His parents were given their own huge swamp in which to live.
His artistic soul and lovely talents continued to give.

Caught By Surprise

Caught By Surprise

Not writing a poem for years is crazy work,
But she is my motivation.
Standing ovation.

Demanding no replacement of her kindness,
Her energy caught me by surprise,
But not blind sided.

I see HER.

She sees me freely with no judgment.
I love it.
I mean I love HER...

My thoughts of her are poems picked from the most loving poetry book in this section called "Kim". Not sold in stores.

Happy Sigh

In My Head

Standing ovation

Tired situation

Overbearing aggravation

Complications of

Tired conversations

Multifaceted contemplations

Of overdramatic

Accusations poured

Constantly into dire

Straits of manipulations

Churning round in

My mind, never going

To be defined only

Rhymed over time

Line after line constantly

Being refined only to

Find that back again

They come words always

Being undone over

Again in my head.
