Premium Member O, For a Plenipotentiary

Would that we had a plenipotentiary

A Twenty-First Century Nursery Rhyme

The cantankerous old Mr. Muffet
spoke nonsense and lies from his tuffet.
When you think that I may  
wax apophatic to say
I would never insult him, go stuff it!

Premium Member We Eat Red Meat

we eat red meat, fish, eggs 
and plants for food

we cut down trees to build our homes

in the twenty first century
history may look upon us 
as murders, cannibals, 
and a savage brood

Premium Member Forgiven 21

A conscience; telling me to walk not;
But, temptation over powered.
Not listening to my mind,
sin took its course again.
Father, "FORGIVE me,
for this is the 
twenty-first
time with
her."

Premium Member Modern Convenience


We are never alone 
if we have a cell phone. 
When we ride or walk, 
just pick up the phone and talk. 
In the twenty-first century, 
it's a convenience for you and me.

inspired by another member's poem.

N-ever ever brings anger;

Wherever you may be 
Let the wind go free
For the keeping of it in
Was the death of me!

A stink bomb deadly slow
Released on the twenty-first floor
Shifty eyes looking about
Open door to let it out!

Let the Love Remain

L-et the love remain, 
Y-ou can let it be; 
N-ever let it end, nor lose its glory.

A-nd never let it vanish.
R-egardless of the weather, 
D-o it right shine or rain; 
O-n the twenty-first of May, let the love remain.

Gray At Twenty-One

twenty-first birthday
too cool to let friends drive
judgment impaired
prodigal still lives at home -
dad will bail him out

               GRAY

graying through his teens
black and white never defined
consequence, foreign
the judge’s guilty verdict
shakes his foundation
