Premium Member Tropical Island
Tears behind the cocktails, Rowing down to calmness Oasis was found, Pure life's gratitude I found after my mistake. Confident I feel while I'm breathing loneliness. Awake with open eyes Lonely in a tropical island. Isolated in the middle of the world, I wonder. I wander. Sun shines above me with compassion, but I'm struggling. Lucky that I saw a boat I could call its...

Premium Member Fear
Seeping and crawling came my fear. I couldn’t see it very clear. Tension mounting as it came near, Transforming it into a tear. Anxiously waiting, couldn’t hear, My eyes were staring with a leer. Then I felt it, it seemed so clear. Arriving quickly, it was here. Shimmering, I felt it unfold. Negative thoughts had taken hold. Anguish entered into the fold. I’ll get the light;...

Graveyard Cook
The short order cook is getting delirious at five in the morning Beads of sweat showing under his funny hat As he stares blankly at the eight new orders on the wheel, And wonders when the drunks Will all have enough and go home. I’m one of the drunks From a short order night The band was hot And the girls were swingin But...

Premium Member To Build a Special Roof For You
(My late father was a construction worker.Remember him on Father's Day.) The construction workers with Sweating foreheads Dry throats Burning skins Blinding eyes Struggle to build An air-conditioned roof Under the sun For you and especially for you While themselves Working at a place Without a fan or an air conditioner But under a burning sun Hanging from a roof called the sky...

Premium Member Hot Wheels
?Sweltering on the leather front seat, With sweat coming down my tanned legs. Feeling like being cooked, as helpless,sunnyside up,eggs! Those silver shades on the front window, don’t do me any good. As I sit here, soaking, in my California neighborhood! Rather be in the house with a cool glass of pink, fresh lemonade. Oh, I forgot to mention, total absence from any refreshing...

Sweating the First Post
I was nervous before I first posted Apprehensive what people would think Would my poems be lauded or roasted Hit submit and then grab a stiff drink. My words on the screen looked so helpless I had exposed them for others to see And there I sat nervous and clueless And concerned to a certain degree What once lived in solitude...

Sweating Music, By Ronald S Porter
the music is sweating in the room strings and reeds bump and grind slow-dragging dancers entwine oh the fruit is ripe upon the vine and the wine of love and laughter a mingled vintage- joy and tears now are drunk down to the dregs then another round is poured urgency prowls the crowd's periphery everybody waiting for... nobody knows but we'll pitch a fit when...

He spun the wheel, no big deal there; no real money. In a short while. that big smile of poor Lyle vanished. He pursed his lips, Gripped his chips and Took nips of gin....

The Sweating Sun
My eyes watch the trees grow as the sun sheds sweat. The yellow beads of sweat taste sweet on my open mouth. I am lost in all the sweetness around me. The sun is sweating so much, it looks like rain. Perspiration watering the trees So I can watch them grow next spring....
