What If God I Had Hired

What If God I Had Hired

A Thought Transpired;
What If God I Had Hired?
Who would get fired?

Jim Horn

Probably a football coach the way
things appear to be looking right now.

Empathy and Sympathy

Empathy and Sympathy

What we must employee is energy and empathy,
So that final result  will produce much sympathy;
That transpired,
Are required;
Eroded away and replace feelings that are empty.

Premium Member Olden Knowledge Should Smolder

Olden knowledge should smolder
As smoke rising from an ember -
Universal but not common -
Peculiar but not forgotten.
Tell me of those days of yore -
Of circumstances transpired -
So I can repeat on my lips
That which slumbers in silence.

Labyrinth

A canary sojourned my garden
the hunger whispering from its eyes
greeting my palm with 
affectionate nibbles of gratitude
whilst circling the symmetries
of my palm
it sprang forth in merriment 
a concluding chirp transpired 
and away it flew

Tired

I am tired but I’m wired
So I must complete this verse.
It’s a need that I’ve acquired
And for needs, it could be worse.

There’s so much that has transpired
I have many poems to write
But, though I’m not uninspired,
I just have to say good night.

Premium Member A Change of Heart

Glittery red hearts and a giant puffy pink one
The office is full of Valentines day kind of fun
Old Gladys who should have died or retired
Irritated by the kind of things that have transpired
Until bathroom break when she can see
Someone left a sparkly valentine for me!

The End

The darkness was all there was
He could see no end because
A night’s sleep was denied
As night after night it transpired

Until the last one he was to see
Unable to see a future that would be
And he took his life that night
With no way you looked at it was it right.

Premium Member Unusual Legislation

A gentleman of Polish ancestry
  who came to the USA recently
Took an interest in America's direction
  leading up the 2020 election

He eyed a bill demanding reparations
  an unusual piece of legislation
Requiring all white folks, even Polish princes
  to pay a tax on what transpired long since

Premium Member The Mouse with the Hat


A great-big mouse just dashed by me
dressed in a suit and tall striped hat.
I thought I could not be more shocked,
but then here came an angry cat.

While hurtling by in hot pursuit,
he shrieked, “Hat snatcher! Dr. Seuss
made ME that hat. Now give it back.
Why this transpired, I can’t deduce!

Broken

I am broken in this world
In the tears and anguish I have dwelt
For each breath I take today
Just drifts as I fade away

Do I sit and think of what has transpired 
Trying to forget what has hurt so uninspired 
So regret can hold the stage at times
Whilst I wonder what good will for me define.

Lazy Birth

After nine months of pregnancy she was admitted to the nearest hospital with no labor pain so artificial oxytocin was given but nothing transpired. Child laid in her womb position footling breech and finally took birth after caesarean. Baby was looking like a red apple and an ordinary female child with dreams to accomplish.

No Words

I love you deeply from my heart
No words can near come close,
To express all the best
With the man I chose.

Time apart has been rough though
Self-discovery,
Has transpired all that fired
Love for you in me.

How it’s grown from you I’ve known
Intensely in my core,
Though absence from yourself undone...
Thus crave you even more.

Premium Member Our Lips, Our Eyes, Our Love

The thick plush carpet piled high
     It cushioned our backs
We fell to the floor, embraced in a kiss

It seemed an eternal kiss
      And there was nothing else in the world
Just our lips, our eyes, our love

As the hours transpired
     Oblivious to time
We greeted the dawn and forged a memory
     To live in our hearts, forever

Illumination

What transpired to a desire
Cos I cared more than a car hired
Felt like torture for I never desired
Melancholy quadrupled cos Even when paired
I could still feel pensive sadness that had already existed expired
Days gone nights ran out with the hope of light at the end of the tunnel my heart praised
Nevertheless He still put a song and I remembered

Premium Member The Light

The Light

When the lights of this reality,
this dimension, this plane, dim.

Will they be bright on the other side
or just ghostly shadows, gray and grim?

Which will light up your journey?
Freedom that comes with letting go

or a prisoner of this plan ?, by hanging on
to what transpired, that grounded your soul.

Trapped in My Mind

In the depths of my soul,
Is a longing to feel whole,
All i have is this pain,
The tears and screams in vain.

Beyond the reaches of time,
All i have is my rhyme.
This useless brain,
Harbours all the pain.

No one can ever know how much I’ve tried,
Through the tears that I’ve cried,
I know I’m tired,
But my brain will always hold what transpired.

Premium Member Me and My Shadow

I still love you despite all that’s transpired since you betrayed me. Once you were by my side; now your pillow is empty. Every day I sob silently praying you will return, but for now my shadow is my only company. Etheree Contest Sponsored by Kim Merryman 55 syllables checked with how many syllables 07~24~16

Premium Member What Has Changed

I cannot wait until you come to my class, the teacher says.
I am surprised; last year she did not want me in there at all.
This year she is excited to see me! What has changed?
Has she loosened up her reins? Does she see a break?
An interesting change of events; no idea how it has transpired.
I know it will be much easier to walk in there today than last year.

The Ex-Soldier

I happen upon a veteran, once,
An old man
With a four-sprang cane
And war tales
Stretched like China wall.
This event transpired in very recent past.
The man turned out to be pterodactyl
And flew away. 
I fell upon a boy, once,
A once child soldier,
A hero
Released
From youth and life.
Oh, how time has changed.
Men are taught to bicker,
Children are trained to fight.

Premium Member The Fall Of America


What has happened
to America?
The once leader
of the free world
the bastion of
freedom and democracy?
Allen Ginsberg predicted
it 60 years ago
I guess it
was inevitable- - - - -
All empires
have their demise
It is a
modern day tragedy
How could we
have sunk so fast?
Things have changed
so much within
the past year
It is a disgrace
what has transpired

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be Inspired By Contest

For heavens sake
What is it now
It’s running late
Just take a bow

The show has ended
I’m worn slap out
You both pretended
I ceased to shout

But now I’m tired
Of your tattle tongue
So much transpired
Accusations sprung

Far fetched tales
Exaggerations
A fishy smell
Is operating

So tell me, dear
What in the world
Has brought you here
With your lip curled

Premium Member Complaints Transpired

He complained, complained, complained
All he ever did was complain
Then suddenly he got fired
What next then transpired
Was he wished, he could complain again




(Limerick...Sort of...We have all heard that person who complains about their job instead 
of being grateful that they have a paying job that puts food on the table...So the thought 
came to me about this one.)

Premium Member Back from the Dark Side

Behind moonface stare
communication is lost—
static staccato
fills the gaping silent holes
in the conga dance of time

Earth now slips from view
its skull-dragged behind the moon
to the other side
only astronauts have seen
lied about in lucid dreams

Back from the dark side
lost incommunicado
what phase shifts transpired
in the watcher and the watched
contemplating the dark slide
