Premium Member His Kitschy Ways

The lover he lures with his kitschy ways

Tawdry, vulgar, unfaithful…

     Reflection of himself

Premium Member History Vs Heresy

history vs heresy

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

Premium Member Slaughterers of Souls

    Slaughterers of anonymous souls
       Windows displaying tawdry tales of woe

    Flashing neon lights restraining human kindness ~
       Cities grind humanity into sausage for politicians & moles

Premium Member Starstruck

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

'Twas a tawdry affair that trifles pittance fare, A Qualified Judge. ~0~ Allied With Grudge. ~0~ Pride Did Smudge. ~0~ Backslide By Nudge. ~0~ Denied To Rejudge. ~0~ Teary-Eyed No Budge. ~0~ "FORGIVENESS" "Implied?" ... "Theorized!" "Her fate has already been decided ..." "... and what of me ...?" "Your fate will be defined."

For Something I'D Done

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.

Two But One

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

Premium Member she was outrageously glitzy and gaudy

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

Tombstones & Teacups

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.

Lurks

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

Coming Out of the Cage

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

Premium Member Mum

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

Premium Member Precious Fare

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.

ditto blockin

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

Premium Member Your Finest Moment

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.
