eight sailors tell her tale

Jan's cucumber is on display
To many a mother's dismay
They all hope and pray
Their daughters won't say,
"The nuns never use it that way!"

Premium Member The Path Taken

The path the child takes, gently guide him there
                                       ~ not where you 'need him to go'

Unprepared

I'm unprepared
Mental scared
Of what might take over
I get up down on knees and pray
Is this the end I say
The walls are shaking all me
I'm trying to keep my faith

Premium Member Advice Not Taken

You should gather your thoughts first.
Collect them and write them neatly.
Make a case but listen with empathy.
“What were you THINKING?” I yelled.
Blowing it completely.

''Taken Shape''

I have found myself in your eyes.
To share a heartbeat,finger printing our lives as one.
 As still as night air with arms wrapped tight.
I know uniting with you,just feels right.

The Road Not Taken

Only heretics
will seek the truth
Against the grain
 they find the proof

Pandering Angels
wings on loan
In fear of shadows
— where answers roam

Love Taken

emotions can deceive you
as they boil to the top
written all over my face
tucked inside your heart

love taken for better
love taken for worse
love taken for granted
love taken

Premium Member Taken For Granite

Good ol' dependable, hardworking Janet
Is shunned like a rock from an alien planet
With a heart of pure gold
She's a gem to behold
And will no longer be taken for granite

Premium Member Point taken

He would lie to them then swear on his word
The gold in his pants a short but sharp sword
Then with his sly grin
He would draw them in
Claim he’d a very cool way of climbing aboard

Premium Member Taken for granted

Sincere apologies 

Diabolical policy 

My part in your life 

losing its  novelty 

Babe magnet wannabee 

Recurring anomalies 

Quantity first and always above quality

Is This Chair Taken

She stole a chair
And rushed away;
‘It’s taken now,’ 
I heard her say.

*over here, people often ask, 'Is this chair taken?', which means, 'Is this seat vacant?'

Premium Member If I Am Taken Hostage

If I am ever taken hostage
I hope it’s by my grandchildren
They will take me to a park,
And make me swing and slide,
I will crazy laugh
And chase them down
Play and play
The best 
Day

Toll and Tally Taken On Valley

Toll and Tally Taken On Valley

What Trump did  was to dilly dally,
When he had been at the big rally;
Those supported,
Were all shorted;
Tossed trash took its toll and tally.

Taken Aback

i have a particular set of skills
popping words like pills
Trying to beautify pain
that slowly kills
suspect myself
when innocent
I will look
I will find me
and i will kill me
eventually

Lost and Taken

Great sorrow felt.
That judgement thou dealt. 
Selfish and blinded.
Unbridled.
Nature divided.
Absolutely required. 
Discarded as folly.
Parried as play.
Honor and pride.
Mother beholden.
