Premium Member Investment Resentment

your blushingly
billions cross
emptiness fluctuating
figure always
dispute again
unimaginably destruction
a courtship
craven gripping
an inadvertently
invite oiled
the sham
but bidder
animation could
tidy through
promotional jesting
taunting these
darkly doings
those scripted
will deny
our venomous
probing fare
soak that
unbrainwashed slobber
and waive
initial flaw

Premium Member The Midnight Show Espinela

Cars file in and pack this field tight,
at dusk the midnight show begins.
Popcorn addicts at the Drive-ins
howl and get wild opening night.

Looking to be fed a fresh fright,
that scene seen before will not do.
A monster comes to the rescue 
before you know what’s happening.
No motive can be maddening,
that jump scare was past overdue.

Premium Member Autumn’s Moonlight Show-DHR

In autumn’s darkening eventide
The skyline brings lustre to one's eyes
When the sun has slipped away from sight
The sky is a picturesque delight.

Autumn moon shines in colourful displays
Of red, orange, silver or golden rays
In moonlight one's negative thoughts blow 
Forgetting one's sorrows and their woe.

Trees grace the admirable Selene
In serene, silhouette they are seen
As stately they do stand in tableau 
Against the radiant moonbeam show.

In ethereal nightly gloaming
Lovers everywhere come roaming
Enjoying moon’s celestial rapture
Sweet scented with late blooming Aster.


Premium Member Picture Show

Darling you’re a picture show
In the albums we possess
Are you resting there? I know
That you weren’t keen to rest
Couldn’t you somehow remind
What the spirits are about
Give a tip I fail to find
Deep within me, and without
Darling it’s the autumn wind
Blowing here, and leaves are flying
Unprepared for winter’s stint
Weeds and grass are slowly dying 
With the first stroke of the frost
Summer ends, and we get older
Though we aren’t as old, as lost
In the eye of the beholder..

Premium Member Haven

By Poet.... "Haven hide me safe and sound. Far away from this cruel world. Give me peace of mind and body."

The story of my haven,
as I ran from the huge raven.
Was I living in a cave-in?
Life's pictures have been hung with a cloth pin.
The huge raven represents life,
the cave-in represents midlife.
Where did life go?
Time had no flow,
no more glow.
All the time I was low,
I just wanted to live and to grow.
Hiding in my safe haven covered with snow,
I now watch TV and a new game show.

Premium Member Show me God

the looming distance between head and heart
is bridged when mind is instrumentalised 
used when needed, otherwise rested 
whence truth of Self is realised
being our light innate and intimate
torrent of bliss magnetism in full spate

A Changed Man

He's not the boy she used to know
wherever in the world did he go
nor the man we once knew
but it only goes to show
time and tide took its toll
for all that he's become
and just one look will soon tell
if he'll maintain or succumb
as overwhelmed by numbers
and totally surrounded
through all weather can he ever
remain steadfast or grounded

Premium Member elephant with pizzaz puts on a show

Elephant with pizzaz knew he was all that day after day
So glitzy that notorious drag queens had turned him away
He wanted to be in a show of some kind, so he was
It was shut down quickly by the jealous, the coppers, the fuzz

Elephant decided to rent his own meadow and have a sing
The other animals brought their lawn chairs to hear his ting-a-ling
He gave them a show like no other performer could ever have done
They came back and paid him money, because they had so much fun!

Premium Member Purple Color

This is amazing 
My favorite t.v show here 
The color purple

Premium Member The Show-Stopper

  
	Bracing herself for her big moment
           called upon to sing the show-stopper

         She breathes deeply, exhales 
            pours all the feeling a twelve-year old girl
                 hides deep within
          into words as much hers as if she had penned them …

We pretend that
we're not easily impressed
but she truly is
an amazing gymnast
who at every chance
