Premium MemberWho Is Tom?

Its been a long time since I’ve felt blissful,
I know I’m the one to shoulder any blame.
Bliss ended long before years turned golden,
too many matters I’ve allowed to inflame.

I’ve always been, for the most part, a loner,
crowds and idle chit chat I’ve tried to avoid.
Married sixty years to the same woman,
Just two D.I.N.K.S. one in

Dear Tom

Dear Tom

If I had the courage to speak from the heart
Ladybirds of redness would sing from
It.
I imagined my pain was of your making
But it was only the making of life.
Now I'm alive like a ladybug.
Still small but making my way bravely 
Forward and backward and forward again.

Now more smoothly and flying at times.

Dear Tom 
If

Premium MemberA Triad of Senryu: The Peeping Tom

Placing the candle

Upon the wide window board...       

She unpins her hair.
-------------------------------------

Her bare white shoulders

Outshine the frail Moon's weak gaze;

Her coy disrobing.
-------------------------------------

Him moving the screen!

Bamboo and silk will not mask

His greedy intent.

Premium MemberEmpyrean Collaboration With Tom Woody


Gossamer wings display angelic quality 
Empyrean dragonflies surround her
with ethereal ambiance
and with trailblazing elan
a bardess takes flight, 
stirring our muses to
greater heights

Poetic princess with a golden pen
her true beauty lies deep within
she's an empress of empathy
compassionate toward all
equinox moon goddess
glowing white bright,
bleeding ink

Premium Membertom cat gets wedding cake in face

Tom cat got a bunch of wedding cake smeared in his face
By six ex-wives who thought he was a grooming disgrace.
Always marrying someone else, a sleezy one this time too.
This was meowed by wife number six, I think her name was Boo.

Who invited them? Tom yelped out with a disdained screech.
He was interrupted by wife

Tom the Terror-Turkey

Have you not heard of the legend
of Terror Turkey Tom?
Who roams the woods punishing those
who do Thanksgiving wrong?
The bird with an unending hate
for those folks that he sees
putting up their Christmas décor
exceedingly early.

None now how the bird for like this,
though many have their say,
some thing a Christmas-hating witch
cursed him to be this way.
Others think he’s
