Musky Secrets

Death carried in hand,
Abdomen painted in red;
Black widows command.

 How can I go on?
 I reach out for you
 To be in your arms
 But then I awake
 My tears start to flow
 I'm trapped here in life.

Widow's Fire

Capture tranquil raindrops from long ago...
dew drops beyond wealthy,
where sunlight stones widows
desolate,eroded,silent cold tears...

Premium Member The Weeping Widow

The weeping widow wept as she tended to his fatal wounds, the winds whispered through the woods, the widows wailing woke the howlings of the wolves.

Premium Member Hockey Fanatics

And here we go again
The calendar is brimming with hockey games
Season widows set up camp
It’s going to be a long winter

The Widow

Though suffering shadows
my memory never shallows
my husband past memory follows
As his body swallows
through the earth, his house gallows
And forever as widows

Premium Member Now I See

Listen to poem:
I understand now
why widows
and widowers
let themselves
wither away

crossing the bridge
to choose joy
is a most
treacherous
journey

Veiled Silence

Mourning her lover
She wore the black widows weeds
Yet remembered when,
Life was a dismal affair.
Used and bruised like a crushed leaf.

For John Freeman: Godly Limerick

Look at me; I am so successful!
I am nothing save for Jesus' blood!
Have no god before Me
Love God first then your neighbor
If you love Me, serve widows and orphans.

The Many Widows Have a Lock On They Mouth

The many widows have a lock on they mouth,
The reason for widowhood will be deep hide.
The killer helped ms Smith this position allowed,
And for ms Jones helped just a dose cyanide.

winds wicked ways
wind-up women's wear 
winsome whispers woo
wine, walks, waltzes, white weddings, whoosh
winters' wearisome wars with warmth 
winnow weathered warriors, widows weep

Premium Member Profile In Prejudice

Mrs. Elinor Roosevelt championed society's outcasts
Asians, widows, orphans, blacks -- all those downcast
   Yet as six million perished in World War Two
   She refused to speak up for a single Jew

Premium Member Waving Wily

When winsome women wiggle while walking,  
workman will whistle wolfishly, wailing words
wrought with washroom wit. Whilst waylaid wives wince,
wizened widows wink, waving wily.

Very Better Carry

Very Better Carry

When I feel comfortable and it is very,
Practice and notes much better carry;
Pleasant, perfect cure,
And be sure to endure;
Will make widows and orphans feel merry.

The Widows Mite

The Vicar’s sermon 
Frank and forthright
Raised the question
Of the widows mite

Quite unnecessary
In my humble view
Because in our parish
There are only two
And I know for a fact
That they both do

A Lesson Queerly Learned

Silky white, pink-tinted petals pushed by dreaded zephyr
They brush against cheeks; comfort sensually skinned
Delicate, freshly bloomed, fall like widows who have wept
I should too if not for ignorance willfully kept

Premium Member The Five Star Banana Band

The five star dog banana band is coming up the road.
It includes widows and orphans and a bald man so bold.
They screech out their truth.
Louder than Grandma Ruth.
Listening to their crazy harmonies never gets old.

Thanksgiving

Tender moments, God's grace
Little hand in mine
God lets us care for the children
while we are here to
Teach them the right way-
Serve God, value others, 
Care for the orphans and widows.


Thank you God for my son!!

Open Windows

Blindly, she does not know.
Feelings has been stomped then grown.
Soul searching - open widows. 

Trance, now so confused.
Time has not fixed but now has used.

Lost everything precious.
In my world of greatest affection.

My Valentine

Widows and widowers
Still have Valentine's
Locked in a place
Saved in a time
Nothing to bare
Nothing to buy
Just memories
Of a sweet bye and bye
Alone, yet with someone
Is our Valentine
That someone in our heart
Until the end of time

Premium Member Sport For the Super Bowl Widows

While Super Bowl man fans are dipping
their chips in hot cheese and beer-sipping,
some wives go get thrills
where they’re dipping their bills
in the tight briefs of hot young men stripping.

the widows’ club
seasoned companions
suitcases full of wit

playmates up for adventure
out for an escapade
consortium of allies

league of septuagenarians
a powerhouse of wisdom

Premium Member Another Sad Song

re-post inspired by SO contest

In dead-man's land
red poppies grow,
Fertilised by blood,
sun and winter snow;
And on widows' weeds
streams of sadness flow,
Lost freedoms seeds
beneath ignorance goes
To no-man's land
where,there were but crows;

The Chosen One

they say hes stuck in the matrix
neo the chosen one 
smoking weed everyday 
drawing catoons for fun
but money talks
bull walks
puppets n gods everywhere
stuck in a black widows web
the lord of flies schemes his plan
to turn this weak house of despair
