Always looking by the window 
With her eyes on the street below

And plans to attack
With project twenty twenty-five

when we call-in take-out Chinese?

Progression To Happiness

One hundred first dates, 
seventy five second dates, 
fifty retakes, 
twenty five out takes, 
all to equal, 
one mistake, 
then,
one forever keepsake.

Premium Member Twenty Five Word Poem


I tried to write a mini verse
with twenty five words.
Ideas rushed for poetic expression.
Counting words made tension rise,
left the poem unwritten.

Premium Member Muse is Missing

Muse is gone?
Mind is blank
Cannot find the words
May have writer’s block.
However, I will muddle on
Until inspiration arrives
Reaching Twenty-Five.

Picking twenty-five to be profound or dazzle,

Suit up, 'snollygoster'".

Premium Member arithmetic melody

five's were easy
five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty
the nine’s should have been easy too
but they are not as jazzy to sing
18, 27, 36, 45

You

I met you
Running one day
Wish I’d withdrew.

Instead, I’d stay
For twenty-five years
While you’d betray

And cause tears
But now, phew:
Dear heart disappears!

Everytown, Usa

Children whom the schools can’t teach,
Nor the courts can’t reach—
Parents give up, too;
Children for awhile survive,
Later when they’re twenty-five,
Some wear prison blue.

Premium Member That Teenage Girl Scowl

Doris had not seen that teenage girl scowl for over twenty-five years
But here it was again,
Staring down her mother
Her daughter asked Doris, “Have you ever seen such a face?”
She could not stop laughing.

Another Day In Pa

with gas prices soaring
I’m no longer mooring

I’m becoming my parents
without twenty-five cents

where I live use to be mines
sinkholes appear with no fines

just another day in PA
no sinkholes here so I’ll play

Brother for sale twenty five cents.
Sister is in the free box. Come get her.
She comes with toys and a red balloon.

Sadie has been singing this song for fifty years.

But she is buying bigger boxes.

For My Grandmother Catherine

Twenty-five years
of saying the Rosary

Twenty-five years
a promise to keep

A last dying wish
her beads in my hand

Not one day I’ve missed 
— or one restless sleep

Twenty-two is a shitty Thing. No age left to look forward To, the slow decline steepens As your brakes quickly go out. Oh. How could I Forget? My Insurance Goes up at Twenty-five. I Cannot Wait.

Premium Member Missing Touch

.

Two hours and twenty five minutes
                    my love
          your fingers to mine

           The heavens above
          the eyes which watch

                  our smiles
          ourn fingers entwined

Let

I begged you
let me
be my true fate
be twenty - sharp as a knife
be black on white
be air for a man
be twenty-five  - the pure baby cry
be half way there - light.

And you let
and there's nothing
I wouldn't bear
for your sake

Premium Member she died in one day

she died in one day, the old man lamented.
I multiplied her age times three hundred and fifty-two.
She actually died in twenty-five thousand and eight hundred days.
He was way off the mark.
But since he is grieving
I let this slide.
