Tandoori or Tangerine Tan shorts no5 final jive

Still hope we can cope

With the nope

Don’t give a damn plan

From that Tandoori tan

Obscene Tangerine dope

Jackanory Mandarin Man


That trope..like to be Pope

Go out on a limb..got the vim..scope 

To make him of the grim...dim..whim..mope

Just give Mr Grope enough Rope


Opined women..a frump 

If they mind.. some bump & grind

Half inching while pinching their rump


The darkness descends


Besotted

Tandoori or Tangerine Tan shorts no4


Cohorts of suits distort

Court the last resort

Damnation of immigration

Onslaught in cahoots cavort


Pander to propaganda slander

Escort darker fraught faces

From other races caught

To starker places.. shunted

Hunted like a sort of sport 


History debunked

“Before” skunked & kerplunked

Lore of Yore junked


Fossil fuel full sumps

Well More is More

Trees flump become clumps 

Of gnarly snarly stumps


Petrol pumps pour

Sheriffs thumps any grumps

Tariffs

Don't give a jot or 

A sod this lot

On your tod..just nod

Seedier greedier leaders

Stun..Shun the Needier

Not just down trodden

Sodden...run roughshod


Beseech each of those clowns..down 

In the dumps chumps who chose

Plumps for stealthy

Leeches who teaches 

Fools at our schools

Only the wealthy can stay healthy


No education for the nation

Uses...abuses..eschews..media issues..then sues

Argy bargy - sarky malarkey ensues

Bemuses readers…forsake

Satsuma Tumour

Sense of Humour?

That Groomer Rumour


Cometh the Hour

Cometh the TAN!


People Power Glower should Flower

Grassy brassy knolls

But proles at the polls

Sold their Souls


To joust like Faust

Ignore Marcel Proust

Cower before the Ivory Tower


Odd bod elite’s law 

Tweets of Sod and God

No Enlightening


Repeats the prism

Or algorithm beats
 
Every criticism schism 

“Ism”..a frightening..lightning rod


Pot..black..kettle knack

Debauched cheats pedal to the

Tandoori or Tangerine Tan?

Mister rich lister Blister

Sinister Mandarin Minister


Sin..Spin & Chagrin Talisman

Jaundice scrotum prejudice totem

Prime time Pantomime

Podium pandemonium
 

Needs Imodium...clearly feeds Opprobrium 

As this git dearly did his bit 

No boom just bust

To ensure the sh*t really hit the fan

Just one more time!

TANGERINE PEAKS

above tangerine peaks
the sun whispers soft—
clouds drift in shoals,
a dance of blue and grey hues,
a heady blush made by the sun.

Premium MemberTangerine Sky

Lost and floundering in an unwholesome fog, 
time stood still as if in a freeze-framed mental log; 
roiling clouds swirled and hovered beneath the sun, 
tangerine streaks sketched on the horizon. 

Amazing was this view, and it calmed my fear. 
Watching in slow motion, all became so clear; 
it was the scribbling of an angel

Premium MemberWishing To Be A Tangerine

"A spoonful of fantasy is often the best medicine for reality." - Poet


Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine.
Fantasy focused fulfillment fondles contentment dreams.
Enthrall me free amid emerald enthused energy,
wrapped snug-complete in scented sachet sheets -
let gleaming threads golden-gloss this glorious bed.
May lyrical lilacs air link, lift and softly dance while 
harmony

     This poem is not a contest entry

Pumpkin pie pumpkin spice
Under black stars or blue skies
Melting mouths in cheesecake 
Patches in the south where we play
Kisses from your tangerine tongue
In the pumpkin patch where sun
Neon glows like holy soul

Tangerine

Every night after I've eaten my tea,
I treat myself to a little tangerine,
I eat the fruit and keep the seeds,
and save a plot from the weeds,
I peel, I soak, I sow, I joke,
that this time, I'll grow a grove,
the kind where lovers toil,
and brothers' bloods boil,
where he could finally propose,
or where your mate Mickey broke

TANGERINE CHEVY

Remember when we walked to school?
Remember when we thought we were cool?
We were good friends in those years
Our laughter overcame any fears
We were young, we were pure
We were safe, we were sure
Nothing could hurt us
No one there to alert us
We thought it funny at first
But our bubble soon burst
When he drove up beside us
Offered to

2. Tangerine sunsets composing chrysanthemum hymns

Immersed in the saffron hues of twilight,
I roar out in gloom unsure what to write.
A colorful drape and tangerine light,
With nook of
