Elmo Elmo

Elmo Elmo was an elephant seller
He kept a white elephant in the cellar
He swigged all the bottles
Down a hundred throttles
And was turned into a big screw propeller

4 Down 2 Up

Catching air with you was grand

Our course was preplanned
Three wheels and miles of blow sand

Geared up with throttles in hand

Twin ATVs taming barren land
Never acknowledging the dangers at hand

Airborne alone where did you land

Pearl, You Are a Diamond

Pearl, you are a diamond
I guess she always knew it.
A proper little helper,
helping through and through it.

She never gives a cheerio
or leaving like a plane.
She's always there to scatter sunshine
Even in the rain.

Pearl, you are a diamond
That no one can replace,
Chocking back the throttles
Just like a necker-lace.

Premium Member The Deathly Hollows

Angry eyes lurk in the forest

Deep within the Deathly Hollows 

With unsuspected fervency

And malevolence it closely follows 

An apparition from the grave

A vision from nightmarish dreams

With nimble hands that quickly throttles

And icy fingers that stifles screams

None who enters survives this realm

So menacing and devoid of light 

In the Deathly Hollows murky mist

Still is the air and cold is the night

I See the Christ

I SEE THE CHRIST
 As life blows; death whistles
As the brave strikes; the naive throttles
No use celebrating my muscles
This too will fizzle

I won’t catch my breathe
I lost not near earth
Better was I at birth
As bare, without a t-shirt

When will the dogs bleat?
I lay watch with sight
When will the sheep bark?
I say this with right

These and more I see
Like many on sand’s sea
My anchor; my capital C
Christ, my only sight to see

Premium Member Nearness of Autumn

In froths of a sky never ever ending, she throttles like a half—shelled woman slow to prance in the midst of obedient breeze, her movement wrapped like a hundred cider vines... How orange are her nights. This hue burnt by sways of corrugated leaves ; a crown adorned with pearlized sequins turning tangerine in kaleidoscopic swirls of atumnal hues, this drift of charmed elegance only fall can muster. Seasonal Bliss Contest, Regina Riddle

Breathneath the Tidal Wave of Blood

Few words don't meet the same line.
But life still meets the final sentence.
Every thread of survival needs to be cut.
A few drops of voice need to keep it shut.

His head throttles to death.
Not every help is heard to be sent.
And all the flowers in the coffin laid the scent.
All his will that wrote had on his consent.

Today, the grave finally sleeps. 
And every drop of penny has already kept.
Not a single gold has been waste.
Only the young widow found a night to taste.

Premium Member Hope Flickers in the Reeds

Set sail in feathered ships.
Guided by shattered stars and bent sextants.
A little white tempest becomes a black water witch.
Hatched from a devil's chrysalis.
Sails are whipped and torn in half.
Fashion a crucifix from a broken mast.
Souls churn upon Poseidon's spitz.

Slothful morning arrives. 
Amidst the frothy angel tide.
An armada of prayers ignites.
Unable to buoy any sign of life.
The last candle flickers in the reeds.
Search and rescue throttles down to recovery.
