Thomas Nate Turner

Thomas Nate Turner only knew gloom
For "TNT" there was not much room
If one mistake
He was to make
Then he just might fall down and go BOOM!

Young lovers gazed with hearts ablaze
Passions stirred without a word
How sweet the wine when love was mine

A Christmas queen,
Dressed red and green
Beauty and grace,
Garnished in lace
Such a grand dame,
Poinsettia's her name.

Premium Member Lying Leprechaun

I caught me a green leprechaun
He lied said his gold was all gone
I gave him a kick
He spit out a brick
I kicked his smart ass all day long

Premium Member Don'T Let Your Pitter Patter

I once met a Spanish high flyer
She wiggled and danced on a wire
Her pitter once pattered
Grew ninety pounds fatter
And now she sings bass in a choir.

There once was a poet named Daniel
Mistook for a sweet cocker spaniel 
They gave him some ****
Wound up getting bit
Needed morphine induced in granules

Premium Member Happiness

The feel of fresh air on my skin, reviving me
The way I laugh loudly when waves wash over
The state of feeling comforted in close company
Knowing that Death is not an end, but a page turner!

Premium Member Vignette-Pictures of Nothing

Imagination flooded this cockney mind
A talent so rare to find;
Miserly,tactiturn said to be mad-
He poured out his abstract dreams
In coloured light of tinted steam.

Tempest over Brighton for certain 
but who has painted this rain
who style do we see
splashed so free?

Love Demands

Damned when we do, damned when we don’t,
the end works out the same

As love demands its pound of flesh
—the lion never tamed

Churning
              fluid skies
wash
surreal
              scenes
from the horizon,
clouds
            rise
            light from sunsets
abides,hides
swirl rides
           above
           the sea

Premium Member Love Without Hope

Love without hope, is a rose without fragrance
Random musical notes, that have no cadence
An extinguished candle, by an unpromising wind
Where the heart panhandles, to a disheartening whim

Premium Member What a Ziegfeld Line

Many Ziegfeld Girls started out wearing costumes so fine.
We did not know them, but they were gorgeous and danced in a line.
This photo is amazing from 1941.
It has Hedy Lamar, Judy Garland and Lana Turner, what fun!

Premium Member Be Specific

I asked the old fruit tree out back
To bare something sweet for a snack
Went back the next day
His root was displayed
I chopped him down quick in one whack

There once was an Arkansas beagle
Though quite common, registered legal
But when it would rain
The throne he would reign
As if thinking himself so regal

Premium Member Entranced

From inside looking out my hourglass
I watched as nature painted winter's grass
Entranced from listening to her rhythmic rune
One April watercolor afternoon.
