Premium Member Dissonance a Forked Tongue in Cheek
You sound like a fingernail dragged over a blackboard. Every word cast as blackmail from a forked tongue in cheek. Bathed in the vile, bile of diatribe, masticated to be flung as dung expelled. Your snarled words reek with the dissonant cadence of discordance. As your eyes flicker from side to side with lies, you look away, unable to face me, eye to eye, unmasked, unshielded, nakedly...

Alarm Clock
Appreciated morning time friend. Despised morning time enemy. Always knowing when to chime in. Never knowing when to shut up. Piercing the calm. Then teasing peace, but only for a short while. Liking to hear itself speak. Can't hear myself think. Alarm clock.... Oh, dreaded alarm clock....

Tongue In Cheek
Tongue In Cheek Who is that new upstart Yelling on my TV Where is Archie Bunker? Let things be like they used to be And that pretty old woman, Claiming to have the floor. Why can’t I hear the news, or Opinions of Eleanor. Another channel there’s that old man, With flailing arms and waving white mane, Where is Grandpa Walton? Things just aren’t the same. Remember...

Tongue In Cheek
