Premium MemberChance Or Design

Was our meeting chance or design?
We smiled at each other and spoke.
A flash of friendship, love benign.
Was our meeting chance or design?
Did our stars once again align?
We settled in, old flame to stoke.
Was our meeting chance or design?
We smiled at each other and spoke.


Premium MemberMy Love for Rose

		I.

A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose:
     the one for whom I pen this song
that trills a note which sweetly flows.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose,
for whom the mind expands and grows
     when the sun's rays burn hot and strong.
A bard and swan, I praise thee, Rose,
with all the sound that rhyme bestows.


		II.

My love for Rose, though torn apart,
     sings like a song which sweetly flows
from this poet's pen as rhythmic art.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
pumps blood and throbs with beating heart.
     But God knows that my love for Rose
endows me with a fresh, new start:
with her warmth as the better part!

Premium MemberFrozen In Time

Casting a glistening ray across glossy ice Midnight sun above the frozen Arctic, Shimmering stars adding a cosmic spice Casting a glistening ray across glossy ice, Two parka-clad lovers, a touch of nice, Sharing soft, cooing love songs cathartic Casting a glistening ray across glossy ice Midnight sun above the frozen Arctic.

Premium MemberMake Friends of the Young

Make friends of the young who live nearby They, like old friends, won’t dim, flicker, and die, Many times, they’ll comfort you when you cry Make friends of the young who live nearby. Do not fear they cannot understand your sigh Even if they seem frivolous, give them a try, Make friends of the young who live nearby They, like old friends, won’t dim, flicker, and die.

Premium MemberLike the Muse, Rose Inspires His Songs

		I.

Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs;
     and breathes into his gloomy lines
her tender love, which rhyme prolongs.
Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs,
like verse free of errors or wrongs
     that sweetly flows like fine, aged wines.
Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs;
     and breathes her love into his lines.


		II.

The love of Rose, within her heart,
     which overflows with lovely songs,
inspires life into rhyming art.
The love of Rose, within her heart,
brings them closer though they're apart:
     but love makes distance never long.
The love of Rose, within her heart,
     always flows with her lovely songs.


Premium MemberWhen Two Minds Click

When two minds click, it's ecstasy
Creative flames leap to and fro
Ideas flow so easily
When two minds click, it's ecstasy
New theories proffered breezily
Abstract musings yield seeds to sow
When two minds click it's ecstasy
Creative flames leap to and fro



        (Iambic tetrameter)

Premium Member''Rose,'' a Triolet Poem

A maid and muse, your name is Rose;
     which inspires me to write this song
that trills a sound which sweetly flows.
A maid and muse, your name is Rose;
a ray of hope who comes and goes
     when the time's neither right nor wrong.
A maid and muse, your name is Rose;
     which inspires me to write this song.

Premium MemberAfter a Fight

Whenever we fight,
It seems we lose sight,
Too much diverts our vision.

So we hurl our slurs,
Dig deep with our spurs,
With invectives make deep incisions.

So I leave the house,
Get away from my spouse,
Go breathe the clean air, calm down.

Find solace within,
The comp'ny of friends,
For in them acceptance abounds.

In their quiet gaze,
I find peace and grace.
The release I feel is tangible.

Out in the clean air,
I can shed my cares,
In the clean, decent comp'ny of animals.

Premium MemberAll the Genuine People You Knew - Triolet

All the genuine people you knew
then don't come around here anymore.

Restitution is what you owe to
all the genuine people you knew.

If you still can't acknowledge that you
chose to nurture your demons before

all the genuine people you knew,
then don't come around here anymore.

Premium MemberA Sweet Duet

A little game I have for you.
Let's sing a song of triolet.
Eight syllables, iambic too. 
A little game I have for you.
It isn’t all that hard to do.
Will my friend Rob come out to play?
A little game I have for you.
Let’s sing a song of triolet.


Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
A sandbox sweet duet in tune.
A mound of sand our stage debut.
Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
With every encore made anew,
this friendship shades the afternoon.
Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
A sandbox sweet duet in tune.

Premium MemberLocked Into a Dream

The key to hold on to you never to let you go
In this my illusion of life’s rapid stream,
When not alone and with those you know
I will hold on to you never to let you go.
Your silent face in mist does grace with eyes all aglow
Penetrating the sunlit beam brings about my dream,
The key to hold on to you never to let you go
In this my illusion of life’s rapid stream.

Lunch with friends opens many varied doors 
Sharing, caring, planting great memories
These moments to be lived again once stored
Lunch with friends opens many varied doors

Now questions gone no ambibuities
