The letters that spell "economic"
Hide both INCOME and MICE
It would be "comic" if "no" women inside
Left just "men" with family responsibilities

      Wordplay is foreplay
       a nimble tongue reaches deep
         to coax and caress

Tandem means finally.
Latin wordplay.
But here it means mirroring
But not.
Cloning
But not
Having 
a bosom friend,

A storm sister, 
an exit buddy.

to my poet peers,
in this PS sphere;
where many shed a tear
with  talk of yesteryear;
Few puns do I hear !
so please my reader dear
p'raps you'll give a steer

     of speech
cliched
sterile
out of place
retrospective
        maxims:
a repertoire

a collage
of the impermanent

assemblage...

The Abominable Snowman
May try to melt into obscurity,
Yeti remains a glittering star
On the ecological ladder,
After a very, very long climb.

Yes indeed-
Big-Foot is a Leg-Eend 
In its own time!

Sesor

Wisdom alone, or foolish together?
A simple blunder, setting the tone.

Where is the sun in the night sky?
Where is the flower in the dark?

Take a walk with me and bloom and grow—
It is meant to be.

More Is More

solemnly breathless in behemoth miasma
effect starts playing havoc with my asthma 
dropped in a world of despair, me as well
carrying dark in darkness - more is more
of that, my eyes won't know, my ears may

Premium Member Wordplay on Life


Life can be a twisted journey
       Like walking a path all ferny.
         "Life" comes from poetic writing,
            Line sublime flows with no fighting,
                   Live a poets journey exciting.

Space knows pace
Pace sure ace


Price holds rice
Ice in nice


Tact hides act
Act makes fact


Feel an eel
Steal binds teal


Play knows lay
Way prompts sway

Premium Member Less For You

Read words backwards between few lines 
Of manmade markings in “bold” signs.
A wordplay is scarce, criteria are clear - 
Now you, Sir John, unscramble, Dear!
