A coin gawks at a grand big note - 1

Last night I dreamt I was one-rupee coin
Who met a two-thousand rupee crisp note
In a rich man’s pocket, looking so keen
At the exalted worthy of my vote.
The note asked: you find anything funny?
No, but you must have moved many a miles,
Which, a penny like me cannot any,
The coin wondered. No, caught I was on isles
All along, detained as if in dark land--
In lockers, safe from prying eyes of law,
Until given was to a corrupt hand,
No, there’s nothing in me to inspire awe.
    All life I’ve spent oh in utter darkness,
    Relieved I feel at last this to confess.

Premium MemberDreams

Every wonder where they come from?
I’m just glad that I still get some.
Sometimes they’re pleasant and seem good,
sometimes vague and misunderstood.

At times they’re funny or bizarre,
like riding on a shooting star.
Often it seems they’re teaching me,
past life lessons I didn’t see.

Sometimes one seems like dejavu,
in another time I was you.
Then there was one, I wasn’t a man,
my whole body was made of sand.

Dreams are intriguing, so much fun.
Recurring dreams are never done.

Celestial Cyberspace

Cyberspace, my blue astral projector
I'm not seeking new friends to entertain
I dwell in a big celestial sector
Cradled in great cool mists and northern rain.

Yet, from funny dark galaxies above
Comes bright celestial advice, kind and wise.
The Oak Grove beckons those whom nature loves
To stretch their wings where faery nature flies.

A faery soars through Cosmos, fierce and free.
No longer bound by bedridden routine.
I journeyed back through past pink memories
And glimpsed my magic future, wide and keen.

A verdant woman, celestial and high,
Candle visions that light the morning sky.

Premium MemberCool Waters

Cool waters casade over myriad
rocks. That serpentine creek which heads to sea
Voice lilts,, its charm draws me in period
Fears enters as I sit under the tree

Crescent moon rising gives off lunar light
There appears a phosphorous light green glow
Creatures who are naturally bright at night
Water ripples by, while soft breezes blow

Fear gives way to the beautiful set-up
By God's verdant earth, Lord of creation
Then creatures  slither  emptying my cup
A lizard, not a  nebular station

The negative ions should be soothing
A night visit seems to offer musings

My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. 
Her skin's mahogany, not regal white. 
She slaps on paints and fillers by the ton, 
and has the dress sense of an anchorite. 

Fastidious? Only in her brand of beer. 
Brash burger joints are where she likes to dine. 
She'd rather look at Fonzie than Vermeer: 
thinks maybe vampires dwell in Wittgenstein. 

It's Oprah Winfrey over Orson Welles, 
and Justin Bieber beats Thelonius Monk: 
she'll read "Hello!" before the Book of Kells, 
and Chateau Margaux's just for getting drunk. 

A fiery, funny, perky popinjay? 
I wouldn't have her any other way.


Premium MemberPrisoner of Poetry - Mar 22

My bars the words, the prison guard my verse,
Rattling the staves of this poetic cell,
I struggle vainly, locked up in this jail. 
Yea, thus is my predicament, my curse.

Oh, how jealously, you smirking blank verse,
I look upon what freedom guides your quill;
For formal phrasing does of me compel
Stubborn structures—the styles which I rehearse. 

But, boldy bumbling, art is now arising!
Walls becoming my score, and tallies tones, ?Confined to meter, bound by rigid rhyme, 
I yet find measures full of surprising 
Motifs. The modern poet at sonnets groans,
But I, I do believe they’re quite sublime.

Premium MemberThe Sonnet's Lament to the Limerick

O, idle love that flows where meters clash,
Where sense and vigor do not well align;
For thou the bowl of sense do rudely smash,
For I, the quest for harmony divine.
Think not these matters well enough ignored,
That coursing love shall float us to the shore;
For current-crossing whirls one cannot ford,
The broken ship of love a thing of lore.
And still, there is the sunlight of thy strength,
That doth ignite the world with crooked rays;
So great thy power that knows too short a length,
I fear my sense is lost as I amaze.
And if but once thy rhyme was not the worst,
I know my heart with love should surely burst.

Premium MemberA Sonnet and Limerick Once Met

A sonnet and limerick once met
Romantically in tete-a-tete.
The sonnet had grace,
The limerick, no trace:
Make match of your muses, the net.

Premium MemberShipped - Mar 8

Where went my package, ordered long ago? 
The app displays delivered, but no proof waits
At the door, nor at the store—no box, no crates, 
Whereto my package? I simply don’t know…

Was it stolen, picked up by some joe schmo?
Or lost in transit, misplaced, dropped, as fate’s 
Great comedy, with mischievous whim dictates? 
Whereto my package? I really don’t know…

This stupid app is just no help, I swear,
The tracking code is gone, the “Contact us”
Is missing, or hiding in some strange place,
Tucked away from consumers unaware. 
Oh! and to what end, all this tedious fuss?
Where is my package? There’s not a damn trace…

Funny People

The funniest people are the most sad,
They're the ones who are coping with a smile.
The ones who don’t argue, never stay mad,
the ones who, for laughs, go the extra mile.

The funniest people need to laugh most.
They hide their depression, bury it deep,
They're the ones who laugh louder, jest, and boast.
The funny people sadness likes to keep.

Funny people end up crying alone.
In the cover of dark they let out tears.
Share life with sadness running to the bone.
Funny people are swallowed by their fears.

I find the funny people in a crowd,
And I hope they know that I'll be around.

Premium MemberImmolation: Words From the Second

Both selves have fallen, to the drink at last,
A time to forge the third, and split anew.
The first: Too funny, fleeting dreams have passed,
Too light for purpose, upside-down yet true.

Beloved by all but self—so lost, so sweet,
Its hollow laughter echoed through the night.
The second, cold with empire’s pallid beat,
Kept the professors' chickens up in fright.

The wine—transforming masks of elf and self,
A cruel trick, as one dissolved to two.
The world feigns wait, confused, upon a shelf,
Not knowing which of these it wishes true.

Yet seasons change, and with them comes the call:
To walk as one, or split, to rise from fall.

Premium MemberLove

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love." Sophocles, Greek Poet 

How is the tender word love felt and seen,
words have many meanings what does love mean?

Love can always be heart warming and viewed,
as we enjoy a meal with loving food.
A funny laugh is a great attitude,
it sure can turn around your day and mood.
Love and kindness puts a stop to a feud,
saying bad words and your mouth should be glued.
All your friends and family should include,
loving days with plenty of gratitude.

Love can be great to set everyone free,
this is uniquely for you and for me.
No more weight now to bear we can just flee,
let's fly free like a little yellow bee.

Different Worlds Colliding

I can imagine 
Just sitting, thinking, and wondering 
How did this begin 
Me, just passing by 
You With a wondering eye
Soon we were attracted to something bigger and stronger 
This feeling is indescribable 
It must be some sick fate
This feeling just feels me up 
We didn't even go on a date
That's the power of love
The power of truth
The power of love
The power of truth
Maybe in another lifetime, the stars did align, and we were together 
Just Drifting off in our own space entwined as one 

Holding,  cressing, kissing, smooching
Yeah that was fun
But in reality, our worlds are so different 
See, you got your thing and I got my thing too. 
I'm still wondering why I even met you
It must be some sick fate
This feeling just feels me up 
We didn't even go on a date
That's the power of love
The power of truth
The power of love
The power of truth
I'm here now
Pushing all that away
Getting on with my life.
Bye bye.

Premium MemberContest Rules

 ~Write me a Sonnet but, let it be known
no poems are allowed with names there upon.
No wordie finesse to impress or construe
like gossamer wing, sublime or imbue.

  Submitting confusion or befuddled verse
or morbid misssspellings will cause me to curse.
And, please leave out language referring to sex,
for most to be tactful, it's far too complex.

  Disqualification befalls the Bard
who fails to comply or rules, disregard.
Expecting to place, my will must be done,
but always remember… you’re here to have fun.
     When judges use hammers to drive home their rules
          just try to avoid getting hit by these tools.

My Pen and I

My pen, it cries
I wrote for too long
To get sleep, it tries
To end my songs

I deserve to write
So I tell him to stop
But it still fights
It now worked like a mop

He is now mad
But still, I am not done
"Oh, stop lad!"
But this is fun

"Your handwriting, oh, one of a kind!"
"I would love this day, if I were blind!"
