The Baby Boomers of Paradise
Those were the days my friend, how blessed we were Although, in past quandam days, knew it not. Home to us was warm and dry, sound and safe. Not called on to fight, we had years to play, Free of conscripted combat ~ with time to kill; Time to learn, time to listen, time to speak. Clothes were brightly colourful and...

Premium Member Twisting Twines and Vile Vines
O' twisting twines and vile vines That which binds Our alike minds The poison is potent Perhaps an evil quotient Darkness bleeds Where chaos seeds Around each arm It has done much harm Blood drizzles And hatred sizzles A portent of death With each breath Closer to the last It happens quite fast O' twisting twines and vile vines That which binds Our alike minds The end is nigh Based on a silly lie But us all...

Premium Member The Twisting Tale of An Avian Apparition
"The discrepancies are many, the dalliances are few, both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement" Poking through the woods of the Mill Grove Audubon Estate, suddenly came upon an ivy-covered studio shed tucked away amongst foliage near Perkiomen Creek, apparently some artist's hidden haven, lost in time. Passing through this rickety door to dilapidation - sun shards were streaming through the cracks...

Twisting Road
The walk along the road, Full of twists and turns, Woods on either side, Around the corner yet more road, He has walked this rought many times, It always seems never ending. No cars no people quiet as can be, Not even animal sounds, Looking up seeing sun through the canopy, It's hot and so humid he needs a drink. The road is shaded by...

Twisting Tumbleweed
Johnny spent all his time hustling Finally found himself in the lap of luxury All the cash he had Was so damn comforting That somehow the clown Had begun to think That there was nothing he Could do That could bring him back to That struggle he, Knew well But not well enought to keep It all from crumbling He'd forgotton about all the stuff That he Did That ...

Premium Member Twisting the Words I Say
Why do you always Twist the words I say When I mean black I don’t mean pink When I mean great I don’t mean lousy It’s exasperating The effort it takes to Redress your interpretation Of my every single word Are you testing my patience Trying to get under my skin It’s just a game to you Robbing me of my energy And messing up my head You suck the...
