Premium MemberFACE SPECTACLE--

Face spectacle
daunting optical illusion
Parallel mind heart intrusion
Whom are we to judge
Vessel filled with sludge
Temporarily soul devoid of joy
Father remold me fill my void
Upon renewing me mercy grace set me free

Spectacle of the Untitled

dreaming color onto gray
dreaming     with open eyes
sometimes I think about nowhere, how 
I'll never see that same 
woman walk that particular way 
down that street donning those same 
shoes with that easy smile
again     slowly etching lines 
collect in turn their tears, as sodden
woodwork of a loose-tied paddle

Embrace that stormy sea of

A Spectacle of Light

All around the fortified town all the systems were down, and a heavyset man took all the money and left the town in a hurry. I couldn’t understand why but he chartered a helicopter and took off to the skies and the last time I heard of him he was seen working out at the

Premium MemberAutumn Spectacle

My green autumn, you goaded me to write.
I love the way you sparkle, shake, and hurl.
Conquering my mind day and by the night,
Always musing about the shorn kiss curl.

Let me approach you with a square crowbar.
You are more snowy, magnetic, and bright.
Light storms whisk the twiglets of October.
And autumntime has a quiescent sight.

How do I

Spectacle of lights, 
I’m a washed up disco ball; 
When you broke me I shattered, 
electrified the floor;
Now all anyone can do is dance.

Living For a Crown

A face with the bitterest frown,
For long years expecting a crown;
Now in prickly sweat bathed
And A Tongue is scathed …

It’s really an awful spectacle,
Facing no challenge, no obstacle,
As reported by his mirror
Doing so without error;
Ability he’s got and Agility
And all his life no infirmity.

So, why is he, Chief Favor
Facing Monarchical Disfavor;
For long years living for

Spreading Tentacles In the Face of Obstacles

He is out to spread his tentacles
In the face, of combative obstacles,
And dying to end through a tackle
Any unacceptable spectacle 
Between The Rickety and The Ramshackle:
Busy roads he’d started their channels,
Hateful robbers sealing off their tunnels,
Corrupt judges replacing with panels,
Supported subsidy showing with funnels,
Filling stations without towels obliging flannels
Bottled water for user of runnels
His love

Premium MemberA Magic Spectacle

Staying at the western brink of the sky
The Sun opens his fiery third eye
A red tint abruptly colours the sky
With chiffon clouds floating high

As bright dots in the blazing light,
Birds are seen on their return flight
Eager to be back in their nests to alight
Down they descend before the fall of night

Shining in the glimmering twilight
The
