Premium MemberJolly Jill



Jill just can’t sit for one minute still;
In everything she wants some thrill!
One rainy evening she climbs a hill;
From there she slips making a shrill!
This results her fall straight into a rill;
She swallows water a gallon at her will! 
As her belly swells, she falls critically ill;		
The quack there tries on her every pill!
It costs

there was a young man from Seville
whose wife's voice was chillingly shrill
	he said please shut up
	he’d more than enough
sending him looking for advil!

Howl;
I’m throbbing 
blanket of stillness;
It’s too loud to hear the scream;
Wail,
stranded obscenely inside;
Fiercely constricted 
by my thoughts 
shrill.

The new morning breaks, 
The old night passes from eyes, 
The cock loudly crows.

Sing
Brown bird
State thy name
Claim your domain 
Your bill - golden bling
You’re adult now
Time to wow
Blackbird

Part 5

They continued to fry under a blistering sky
    With little water to stifle the heat.
When the Hippo put forth, "Considering our course,
    We have entered the waters of a perilous beast."

"You may have heard tales of all manner of whales
    And from that... make what

Shrill Echoes

As early frost kissed window glass

And autumn shed her scant remains,

Her glory done, her time now past

Bare trees lined the country lanes,

The woods were quiet, nothing stirred

Filled it seemed with expectation,

The shrill echo of a bird
       
Lamented autumn's resignation.

Shrill Cry

It was halloween night
I heard children shouting with glee
One odd looking man 
knocked my door
Filled my bag with goodies
and opended the door
He snatched the chocolate and ran away
I was sobbing as I didn't have more candies to give
Another guy came 
Highly dressed like a bood sucking vampire
He gave his arm to me
Filled my bag with

Mornings Shrill With Skylarks Singing

Mornings shrill with skylarks singing 
o'er the greening meadow and the pliant pasture, 
the ocean sighing, gulls aloft on wings of prayer. 
A sudden shower would see me running 
fancy free between the rain drops, 
I cried 'Excelsior!' and set the hills alive; 
I skittered, happy crisp and clear, 
like God's first measure of a

Premium MemberShrill Sweet Sadness

The teapot whistling on the stove
reminded him of what had been
in settled domesticity
when they were only twenty-three.

The baby crying in the crib
the teapot whistling on the stove
the way her apron hugged her hips
the sparks that flew between their lips

creating scenes of bliss and strife.
And when she ceased to be his wife
the teapot whistling on the
