Swan song
Amazing, surprising
Splashing, displaying, underwhelming
Sometimes I'd dream about foreshadowing

Politics Part 2

Corporate wealth sought
by Labour czar conquistadors
scourge wealth
the have-nots will prevail
30,000  measly votes for a standing Labour MP

the enthusiasm for them is underwhelming
without PR we are shorn of democracy
sleepwalked into a Labour majority
Apathy is their achilles heel
belief flounders
when Reform were second
in 100 seats

Views

I like to read the Real Estate
To see what money buys.
Of course, I’m never moving 
But it’s fun to fantasize.

This week’s had an apartment
That there’s no way I would choose
Since the “Cons” in the description 
Listed “underwhelming views.”

To pay that kind of money,
What would mean a lot to me
Would be looking out the windows 
Feeling whelmed by what I’d see.

Premium Member Vitality a Freed Verse

VITALITY
encapsulates
celebrates
  innovation
hurtling
pell-mell
straight towards
an encounter
with
the viewer
veering
 en route
in
movement
  one to another
 between
wrong turns

 a restlessness
some haste
 is
detected
& is
understandable

part
of this
 zest
underwhelming
feels peculiarly
unfamiliar
in
 an encounter
so brief
an
 excursion
disjointedly
  underplayed

Disability

The feelings aren’t healing,
Discontent continues wheeling,
The outer skin of my patience desires to find its true meaning,
My heart is causing friction,
The inabilities need fixing before time runs out,
The pressures of being the one,
The man,
The one man that can oversee the potential growth
and harvest it seeds,
The one who initiates and provides stability
has an underwhelming handicap.
Can I save myself?
Is the rot going to end up simply killing me?

Premium Member The Gastly Gum on the Bottom of My Shoes

The ghastly gum 
on the bottom 
of my size nine shoes
Was put there by you~
A spit of spite;
A malicious verse,
A romantic curse~
Your love is slightly underwhelming 
Like a supernova imploding!

Beware 
The dogs of war,
I swore ~
Dreaded double-bubble 
is my sword,
I will stick you to the freeway fast-lane
(You rundown Gandy Dancer),
And like Marvelous Medusa, 
Turn you into languid stone 
for eternity…
Or for ten enchanting days,
Whichever comes first!
