Ibiza Fruit

The hotel in Ibiza offered fruit, 
For starters and for dessert,
So I had it both times each day, 
And never did then revert.

Dawn Arrives

Birds wake with the dawn
Early starters in the light
With license to sing
They mingle mirth by themselves
Wind and wings hum as mute elves

Listen to poem:
Foolproof recipe faux fudge

Who wants to be called
foolish even for starters?
Every dummkopf can read!
Proof is recipe's enunciation!

Motivating Moses

When Moses parted the waters
The mud squished up to his garters
So a crocodile said,
"If you'd rather be dead
Then guess where I'll chomp for starters!"

Dedicated

This is wat it'd b.
"Writ'n a book of poems,
Dedicated to Ms. D"
What will I put n it?
For starters there's FD
And many others on here,
But only time will T.

Singing and Happiness Bringing

We saw here when she had been singing, 
While playing and happiness was bringing; 
Beside field and beautiful flowers were seen, 
And soft straw did drift with grass so green.


For starters.

Olympics

A thorn in the flesh of the green, green grass
Between the line painted straight,
And sometimes bended.

The reek of the starters gun so black
The bulge of the rippling calves, sometimes slack,
As spikes rip through the blades
Of turf so lovingly tended.

New Timeline

Fresh starters for the new year,
A new goal for a new month,
Markers for a day.

The poet's calendar, 
A door to a new timeline,
Planning versus life's hurdles.

Vicissitudes and mysteries,
Tomorrow's questions,
Dawn harbingers what we see.

Premium Member Salvage Yard Freeway-

Salvage yards hand me down
 throttle starters transmission brawls 
Clutch drive spent wheels ravages 
Four-wheel drive, five-speed Savages, 
all this going on in the Salvage junkyard tow yard
Just 500 feet from the freeway?

Premium Member Oval room antics, and dubious semantics'

An almost dwarf from ukraine'
Who is real fond of warfare and gain
Got to the 'white house to barter'
Yet ended up starters
For calling; out' unsavoury names'

He then went to starmer'
another no charmer'
Causing Britian, much 
anger and shame'
I hear daily its people complain!

Premium Member And They'Re Off

And They’re Off

His words
worn sneakers soundlessly
pound the parchment
of life
leaving faint imprint
on passing
flowing
in seemingly effortless
struggle
lost
in the acrid fury
of the starters
pistol.

Premium Member The Closer

It is the closer’s job to shut the door. We don’t want the other team to score. Relief pitchers take over where the starters depart. When assuming this role, relievers need a lot of heart. In the last inning, get them out one, two, three. It feels so much better to leave town with a victory.

Life Through Rose-Shattered Glasses

Here I am

On the brink of greatness

Unable to take the first step

Here I am

Standing on the shoulders of giants

A legacy passed on by baton

Here I am

Anxious to hear the starters gun

Deafened instead by the silence

Here I am

A race of slave workers

Who built an empire

Here I am

Climbing out that valley

To that mountain top

Premium Member Me Myself and Ipad

I love my third hand iPad
We have a lot in common
It can't handle updates for starters
Anything after 2013
Right after I turned 40
What you see is what you get
It's happy to be connected
Mid sentence looking something up
It will forget everything
When asked to do anything
It's sometimes just too much 
And it shuts down

It has a few dents too

Premium Member Christmas

Christmas brings all kinds of things Happiness for starters and Christmas bells Ringing loud make us want to sing It also brings great smells Smells of pumpkin, cinnamon and spice; Turkey, rolls, corn pudding, dressing done so well Most of all this birthday of a child; Jesus Christ And what it means to believe in him; we’ll tell Stories of his life.

Food thats good i beleive you'll find? raw milk
Not the usual, therm-ed out kind.
Link up with farmers, you can volunteer!!
Supply some spirit, spread more cheer
The bowler hatted farmer knows'  his
Onions along with dear old Vobes' 
And Brooks no nonsense Chris is in.'
That people power is starting to spin.!
A couple of million will do for starters 
You can now show the world..
Who are? the real'
Useless farters.)

Premium Member I have been sent '

I am here..To rip up any carefully concocted notions.' To stamp on obcenitys' and dis-abuse all and 
Sundry of sepia toned views, of 
Disgusting historical humans who
Have been hitherto venerated as
Almost God.? If not as replacements'
Indeed I will rip the rose tinted glasses
From your very noses ' And trample on
Your toes'es.' In order to wake you up.'
As indeed all heaven knows'es.)
And thats just for starters'
So help me God.!

Dream Dinner

Right from the starters the dinner looked sumptuous 
Lovely taste and variety 
An attractive look covered all the food 
Smell was tempting tidy
It was totally mouth watering 
Of sheer flawless splendor 
Wonderfully cooked
Of a higher class
Eating hurriedly to finish everything
Spellbound feelings 
Suddenly;
Removing the rubbish from the eyes
While opening eye gates 
To see my wife 
Standing with a cup of tea 
Saying good morning?

Premium Member Cup of Seuss Mousse

For starters I'll order the tripe
Wrapped in dark blue plums, just ripe
Painted with a bright red-white stripe
Dabbed with green spots from icing-bag pipe

Next, I'll have the fish, grilled just right
Flambéed with whiskey set alight
On a bed of cockles, shut up tight
Wrapped in seaweed. What a sight!

For sweets I'd like the chocolate mousse
With eggs, cream and bitter lime juice
All gooey and creamy, sure to seduce
My cravings for sugar and a cup of Seuss

Premium Member Forsaken When Shaken

Love's forlorn curt sojourn, forsaken when shaken
By trifle of qualms, charms and alarms
Withers on vine, no fruit to crush into wine
Besotted by starters, but becalmed when main course falters
How often love's hors d'oeuvres flop and scuttle main course and sweet dessert
The seeds of like, first sight thrill, and eye to eye sparkle and interplay
Sprout too fast and wilt in the light of day, 
Spurned shoots thrown down the gauntlet, deflate, die and get flushed away.
