Peyton, a thirteen year old boy Looks on, pose for a photo; He’s in for a test with sound health Going to rejoin school After long break for crucial treatment And awesome wait After the heart transplant; He looks like a young man of thirty Peyton, a boy from Ohio near Cincinnati; Pure in heart, courageous and innocent, Enters...

Shortcut
Shredded and malformed No longer me maybe i never was The lone survivour living in the world of the undead Feeling no connectiion to the world around Staring at marshmallow clouds as they shrug at my existence The brain using my eyes to find some redemption for the sin that is my life Cursing my tears Pain that never falters and joy that is never...

The Shortcut
I thought I knew a shortcut, a quick way through the wood But I fear I missed a turning, for I knew not where I stood. Unfamiliar and oppressive, which way should I go Trees I'd never seen before, tracks I didn't know. It was late in the afternoon, the light was getting dim I was lost and frightened, panic...

Premium Member Graveyard Shortcut
================================ Hiding in the shadows, there at the corner of my eye, I am slowly made aware there is someone else nearby... "Who is that?!" I bellow then, "Hiding in the shadows there?" "I've no use for boogeymen!", I yell into empty air. One more sheepish peek I dare, feeling harebrained to have thought, hiding in the shadows, there was some scare that there was not.... But my...

Shortcut Through the Woods
Forest heavy with illusion It's for the best that You stay in seclusion In the middle of nowhere Left with a suitcase of riddles No clue and no cab fare Just beware Of the overbearing strangeness Don't doubt the range Of his overshadowing greatness I must say it's quite impressive A little expensive for my expenses What do you expect from expert sentences Engineered, constructed Using unorthodox...

Premium Member A Bad Shortcut
This season, the Easter Bunny was running late. He made a bad decision that sealed his fate. Nobody can say that his choice was good. He took a shortcut through a low-income neighborhood. Some young hood carrying a switchblade knife, put an end to the fabled Easter Bunny’s life. That was very tragic and not at all funny. He was hopping through...

Shortcut To the Soul
The optic nerve is the longest nerve in the body, But its really just a message carrier to the brain, Where sight is actually seen. The ear, on the other hand, Is the on-ramp for music, Leading down the higway, Directly to the soul....

Shortcut To Nowhere
I'm in a hurry, Don't know why, Have no appointments, Don't plan today to die, So what's the rush? It's the American way Get it done... That very day! I guess other peoples Think we're weird Perhaps we are, Or maybe over-steered Let's hurry up, Finish this, Get on with that, Somehow we hope To pull time from a hat Worst sinners New Yorkers, We work while we sleep Always pondering Some problem deep Must be...
