Plunger

Plunger

The plunger fell downstairs and 
her neck snapped off. I use her thin body to 
ward off 
wandering 
wavelengths.


Lady From Brussels

An old lady from Brussels,
Enjoys a dinner of mussels,
Restaurants in the district,
Have hired chefs looking strict,
To ward off her annoying morsels.

Jocks As An Anti-Theft Device

The best anti theft lock for a car
Is appropriately stained jocks as the anti-theft bar
So have these jocks on the steering wheel
For a display to ward off the thief in their steal.

Sarah Unleashed

A bevy of censures,
to hit and strike back

Each written reprisal
to ward off attack

A mother-son warning,
once truant come true

Her words now my weapons
—to kill and renew

Never To Yield

The miles I’ve walked,
the verses I’ve rhymed

The demons I’ve fought,
the mountains I’ve climbed

Each word as a sword,
its meaning a shield

To ward off the darkness
—and never to yield

Premium Member thee-oughts

thee oughts of thoughts
recycle
so

what always goes round
turns
our crank

and we become generators
of
energies to

ward off spelling errors
and just
see

what we leave printed on
what's left
of trees

I Celebrate All Saints This Summer's End


I celebrate all saints this summer's end, 
Who help ward off evil ghost that contend... 
Against peace, such BLUE wearer 
In guise costumes like sharer 
Who feels impact; their sacrilege ascend. 

Happy Halloween Day!

Gothic creatures of old
  gaze down from their ledges 
    glaring at unseen threats.
       Grotesque legends of stone
    garner my attention 
  garish symbols ward off
ghoulish evil demons.

Premium Member Slow Burn

The candle...
burns itself slow.
Wants to...
hold on to its...
each speck, to last long;
for it is...
assigned...
to ward off...
darkness...
till the dawn;
saves itself...
from dying flicker...
caused by air it consumes;
to...
win losing battle.

You can print more money

You can print more money
By Michelle Morris

You can print more money
But you can't print more people
Souls do goodness
To ward off evil 

You can print more money
But it is only a tool
Souls don't need it
Because Heaven rules

Premium Member What Stops You

Sweat not
What frightens you?
What keeps you freezing in your track?
Frighten no more
In you lives One who can ward off the assaults
Stop the fear
Get with Him
With the only One who can
Love He will give
Find your protective Father
Mightily He will welcome you
Will back you
Will raise you
Keep you
Frightened you? 
No chance
Go

Premium Member Is It Friday Yet

Two o'clock pm
best time ever for a nap
eyes glazing over.

Maybe some coffee
will ward off the impending
risk to my income.

Twenty short minutes
of break from office spinnits
would help me perform.

Unfortunately
unconventionality
is workplacely scorned.

David

David; luck stung.
However before now becomes how everyone placed it David.
Yourself includes it's grand notice of her comfort.
Less these words ward off mess, please assure enough guests.
At the foot of bed David, luck struck.
Moreover; before now everyone labeled it traded, this life David, includes the mother.
David; call him amnesia.

Working Out

Working Out


Decades ago
presidential elections were
every four years

Rest between sets
quiet days ward off
carabolic states

Now, the madness starts
on the first 
Wednesday of November

Taper before the race
hydrate and carbo load
stretch and relax

Newscasters make predictions
hours after inauguration
“who is the fittest?”

The Knightly Spouse

A priviledge, not a burden
The power of Love to wield.
In the name of the highest;
Crowned a king; alike throned.
As far beyond that wall afield
Each castle's; cloud-horizoned.

A great honour, the greatest
Entrusted them, vowed knightly
Raise not a gold-fingered hand
But tears for to wipe, ward off
In black who for Despondency
At such saving gestures scoff.

Premium Member Masking the Problem

To ward off those germs from afar I’m using a tatty old bra It can’t be a task To make a face mask I’ll model it like a film star! But sewing skills, none to be had - My home made mask looks very bad No way does it fit I look a right tit My husband won’t wear his, I’m glad!

Premium Member Flatulence - a Subject Not To Be Sniffed At

So I write about farting and pooh But fart sniffing may prove good for you Foul hydrogen sulphide has been found to provide benefits helping cells stay like new Inspired by an item in a magazine which lead me to find a link and I had a blast writing the poem! https://nypost.com/2017/10/27/sniffing-your-partners-farts-could-help-ward-off-disease 7/12/19

Oh Night Owl

Oh night owl

My constant companion

With luminescent eye's

Piercing through full moon

To ward off vampires and
werewolves alike

And notify an early warning
alert call

Slayers to arm's

Silver , Garlic 
Stakes , Crosses

At the ready

Battle commences at the stroke
of dusk

And ends when the sun rises

For those who survive

Only to resume hostilities  
tomorrow night again

The King's In Danger

the king's in danger


in the shadows of the night

there hides a mighty fright

mellow moans and ghostly sights

chinese bells and mandrin dreams

that haunt this asian king



may his queen arise to sing

to ward off red demon wings



to chase away the dragon's 

tail that slings


for the king is in grave 

danger of the evil night things


My version of a chinese horror poem.

Premium Member Nature Is Supreme

Calamities, man made or other
when or wherever they occur
is nature’s own way to point out
to us mankind, without any doubt
that we should not quite tinker 
with nature's basic structure. 

Victims, the ordinary, always fear 
to face nature’s wrath and spear
they need to be empowered quickly 
by sharing nature’s sovereign equally
together we can ward off a grim future
and recognizing that supreme is nature.

History

Seen through a country, a family or an individual timeline,  
Diligence and thrift bear rise while extravagance decline.
Why do we cherish a pillow made of amber? 
Why must a cart be inlaid with pearls purer?
It’s hard to find talents when the country is at stake,
And to ward off devils when its foundations quake
How many people read the emperor’s aspirations?
Here I do lament over his unfulfilled ambitions.
(Tran.)

Pain

She sat by the window pane
Dealing with her pain
Which she tried to ward off
But her efforts were in vain
She watched the rain fall through window
And wished that her troubles could be
Washed away, wished away
Or, at the very least kept at bay
The rain eventually stopped
And the sun shone brightly
Her spirits were uplifted 
For she knew that the sun 
Would shine on her life again  
And pain would cease reign over her

Friend

My friend so far away       It is not a concern    For you are in my heart everyday   I am so aware that each time a thought of me enters your mind       They are thoughts so loving and simply kind      I need your caring and positive mind       To ward off the narcissists with hate in their hearts, walking the earth blind     Rude being their one and only attitude      I hope that you know you are but special to me       How fortunate are we?

Premium Member I Wish I Were a Dreamcatcher

I wish I were a dreamcatcher
I would hang in your window
Soak in sunrays through the day
So at night my powers be invincible
As I watch over you sleeping
Protect your every dream

Portal to the other realm
I'd ward off malicious spirits
Attract all the good intentions
As well as benevolent guardians
While your spirit wanders free
Roaming the infinite galaxy

Premium Member Reading the Same Book

She was reading the same book she has read for a year.
What the story is about is truly almost totally unclear.
She carries this book every place that she goes.
To ward off friendly people, to keep us on our toes.

We tidy her up, brush her hair and her teeth.
Sometimes we lift her by the bottom and wash underneath.
We never try to take the book, because it makes her voice thick.
Her son told us it is also when she turns into a raging lunatic
