The Day the Chains Were Broken
No trumpet blew, yet thunder came, From streets once hushed, now lit with flame. A tyrant's crown was cast away, By barefoot hearts who dared to stay....

My soul’s a shell with wind of time That blows inside forever The hollow roar of waves it hides Although its calm as ever My mind’s a desolated street To fields of green and meadows It leads but not a face I meet Beneath the tangled shadows Gone is the 16 Marroway Gone is the Jansel Square The garden where Pippa played Has vanished in...

Sherlock Holmes
When Holmes ejaculated, 'It doesn't take a brilliant detective to identify many of the people on this planet are damaged or defective,' Dr. Watson was heard to observe, 'Never a truer word spoken. Most we meet, at 221B Baker street, are utterly, if not completely, broken. Psychologists reason, 'Conditioning's the cause for them to follow such absurd routines,' but it's my considered and confirmed belief, insanity...

He sat on the corner his back quite bent, each dollar he collected, he quickly spent. His sign’s report, He needed support, His get up and go had got up and went. ...

THAT BOY
He sits by the junction scraped knuckles, half a smile a boy with more scars than years each one a story no one asks to hear. I saw the truth in his trembling vow heard the break in his voice when he said he’d left Kush behind but all they saw was yesterday's face. He carried hope in both hands knocked on doors he...

Sunny Side
Always walk on the sunny side of the street where the grass is always greener my advice... give a wide berth to the shady side (unlike Little Red riding the 'hood) as over there the streets are meaner better yet focus on the good where life is pleasantly serener maintain a positive outlook and keep a cheerful demeanour please don't be annoyed vex or...

Premium Member my love for sesame street
Which ones are my favorites? Who can say? It changes hour by hour, day by day Bert and Ernie have a banter so fine But Oscar is adorable in his garbage grime. Count Dracula and Cookie Monster are both a fave. I would have a difficult time choosing which one to save. Miss Piggy is outrageous, such a handful for Kermit...

Quack and Waddle that is how we safely cross the street
Sidewalks and roads morning, noon, and night Hectic bustle of today’s life From young tiny feet To the old with silver in their hair The noise of cars, trucks, and buses Along with the machines that are improving The roads, bridges, and sidewalks that are utilized daily A symphony of chaos trying to distract our attention Our attention we need to...

Shadows in the Street
There is a shadow moving in the street Hanging over the people you meet It has no hands elbow or knees but but it is moving swiftly in the air and it is causing the people to fear a warm energy is bursting out of the sun and the people are flocking the beaches to absorbing the strange heat, they...

Rag on a Cloudy Day - Scott Joplin 1868-1917
I am highly entertained though I see through the window what lies there: yes, dark cloud hovers above our street like a piece of rag. But we admire contraries. I am entertained because I hear rag - all about pineapple, reflection, stoptime, a paragon, a maple leaf. You would never predict your treasure, how so many of us listen to it today, your music downloaded...

Neurodivergent Rogue One
Neurodivergent Rogue One Rouge as one, on a solo run. From glossy glades to mossy mountains. From treeman to technoman From trycore to hardcore. From wet streets to dirt drifts. From urchin to fortune. From chaos evil to chaos From inconvenience to ingenuous. From arteriovenous to intravenous. From keeping thyme to literal flow of rhyme. dashing prancer to dancing lancer. From the A to the One...

Premium Member Beat the Drum Softly
Beat the drum softly, and beat it with heart, Lay down a rhythm that rises from soul; Small though indeed is the size of our part, That which it is, we can still play in full. Loud are the clashes that crash from the street, Ominous thunder that thrashes from storm; Myriad pacing of multitude feet, Let still not chaos be your...

Elm Street
Elm Street Every town has a haunted house. Even driving by a ghost town. It’s creepy walking by at night. In the broken window is a small candlelight. It’s eerie like a scary movie. Having frightening dreams always lurking. Monsters are staring out the windows. They hide behind you in the shadows. A lullaby song...
