here i stand
roughly hewn
from a block
lifeless too
excavated in
tawdry glint
eye collapse
with consent
The lover he lures with his kitschy ways
Tawdry, vulgar, unfaithful…
Reflection of himself

history vs heresy
historically limericks are bawdy
some are even quite naughty
a titular lass
a word playing ass
touching the edges of tawdry

Slaughterers of anonymous souls
Windows displaying tawdry tales of woe
Flashing neon lights restraining human kindness ~
Cities grind humanity into sausage for politicians & moles
earth carry us
we are tawdry dirty
beings with no
thought & no
sense. convince
us moon
that we must always
lick the spoon
it burns like the
sun please
let me look at you
without dangerous
side effects.

Big brown
beautiful eyes
bewitching brazen eyes
I glance then gaze they hypnotize
her tawny tawdry bawdy bedroom eyes
they tantalize they mesmerize
sultry sweet smiling eyes
beautiful eyes
Big brown

O, to be a famous actress
A star of the silver screen
To revel in the tawdry tinsel
The glitter of girlhood dreams
O, starstruck fame-seeker
Is Life a clever ruse
to be acted on a stage
Where's your zest to love and live it
~ Hope you reengage
Amateur writers, they languish in bookshelves,
their mediocre musings dull, tawdry, and lacklustre,
garish fare inviting foot press dust bin or giant skip,
infused with cliché-ridden dumbstruck cant so trite,
I “CANT” grasp why such writers are that brazen,
“Amateur Writer” is not the word!
'Twas a tawdry affair that trifles pittance fare,
A Qualified Judge.

"FORGIVENESS"
"Implied?" ... "Theorized!"
"Her fate has already been decided ..."
"... and what of me ...?"
"Your fate will be defined."
I was in a tawdry bar,
Or public house,
Being threatened,
For something I'd done.
Darting furiously
Through city streets,
Running, running,
For something I'd done.
My companion hailed,
And stopped a bus,
Its metal doors flew open,
For something I'd done.
Had to get to them,
Had to get through them,
Under furious pursuance,
For something I'd done.
nothing tawdry about
her body in a
Picasso way but
a must see gallery
picture framed
her frame has
a name in every
language spoken yet
words can't
ever tell how
her rose
is a rose
is a rose
arousal
my bawdy
laugh is longer
then a giraffe's neck
seeming to be being
disrespectful
but truly
meaning the joy of
the flesh
only to do
a duel with
your loca laugh
Form:
She was purposefully brazen, garish and flashy
Daughter of Lee, who owned a haberdashery
Her outfits were razzle dazzle, glaringly loud
That’s my daughter, her daddy bragged to the crowd
People lined up to gawk to see what she would wear
Some of them made fun of her ensemble, but she did not care
Others yelled mean things to her – vulgar and tawdry
She loved being known as outrageous, glitzy and gaudy
Death belies the darkness summoned,
tombstone-colored is the sky,
shards of memories merely fragments,
wailing wind the sole reply.
Violent storm winds strip the tree limbs
like a poltergeist, unseen,
tawdry feeders, heavy wind chimes,
beat against the window screens.
Waiting for the glass to shatter,
like so many childhood dreams,
china teacups, rosebud patterned
in the dustpan, unredeemed.

beauty lurks upon the night,
i lost me teeth i look a fright,
if i'm not careful me dog may bite,
but i'll keep on sucking lemons :)
i'll jam a cossie under me frock, (swim togs cossie)
me girlfriend gets a tiny shock,
jump in amongst the sleepy flock,
it's time 4 sum romancin :)
I canna stand this tawdry bar ,
and there you even bloody are
a dancing there with Nungidar
still a bloody prancing
just waffling here

I have a confession to make
My lizard and I are deeply in love
but she thinks I’m cheating on her
and often puts a tail on me
I’m wrapped up in another quandary
My python has a crush on me
and wants me to be her squeeze
It’s a slippery slope I’m slithering down
To be honest, she DOES take my breath away
but if my lizard lover hears of this tawdry tail
she Iguana be awful jealous, but frankly speaking
I think she needs to scale down her expectations
MUM
always there
mums the word
after all her eyes
are everywhere
in the backseat
drying all
the steamy windows
winking at you
opening the car door
chasing away
the tawdry blond
it’s all for the good
of her handsome son
she won’t let you get away
and she’ll chase you down
to plant a kiss
on her firstborn
toddler son

Death knell we must quell
Asian fans under the spell
What's the point pray tell
Ground hog day must fell
T20 slog locked in a cell
Same same endless well
Lame game ring the bell
Or the IPL will just swell
Kills where Tests do dwell
Not a green verdant dell
Obnoxious & noxious smell
Glam Instagram sham we yell
Scam in tawdry bawdry shell
Just all about well sell sell sell
Warm welcome to IPL HELL!
In cage, box and vault,
behind the well locked door;
he held his earthly treasurers,
counted by the score.
Dust covered purple amethysts,
lice laced parrot maws,
aged harem beauties;
lay on cushions bout the floor.
Each once had shone like starlight,
within the earthen core,
and danced or flown in far off lands,
which were their homes no more.
All tawdry now, decline their fate,
decay hung in the air,
but on he sat in darkness;
pondering his precious fare.
They use lifes language
Wild that leaves me a divisive endorphin
Weathering veins rotted in paint
I ain’t throw in labor on it
One step up to my flawed character’s
Droopy’s tall comparative literature balks back
Tinsel in tawdry condition
And aft,?
Pause me apostrophe, young to effect safety
Check writers, cost long painful memory
Hostage of poverty
Cold war controversy
Big world drums and no cents
Mid day news in piercing loss
Not worth the screwy drip? I am
Imagine your finest moment ever
Can you remember what you said?
Don't make it something tawdry,
Like what you accomplished in bed
Be remembered for a stellar occasion
When you rose to your highest self,
And did something worth remembering
Like the trophy you put on your shelf.
You can always point to it with pride
And say you reached a pinnacle sublime
In fact you can try to repeat it again,
Your finest moment, if only in a rhyme.
