Unlikely Us
Shrilling seagulls spreading broad wings are bound for another flight into infinity; unlikely us who perceive fear and adversity, they know how to conquer boundaries: and as soon as daybreak begins, they don't wait but venture further than hazy horizons with a straight line that guides navigators on their trail until they vanish from limited sight. Was Columbus or Vespucci more...

Unlikely Conversation in the Mirror
to love, is often to bleed, cut at the wrist through the fields of reids, mummification of a beloved memory, wrapped in caramel gauze of a felo de se. “should we see this heralding—?” asked the lonely chimera to the aardvark, her eyes welting with levees to break, single teardrop of a fallen empire drips to hands. “time cares not for your water...

Premium Member Nursing Home, An Unlikely Place
Oh, find I here as elder in this small place Some glad respite… From inside pills And journeying on to bitter end With so many joys of past, left trail-side To sit only in fading memory then Great entertainments and friends Allowed temptations, travels Sparkling departures into new excitements… Even the most basic of foods and drinks diminished Into lowest price bid, blandness, and...

Unlikely Mike, for Michael Jackson
Unlikely Mike by Michael R. Burch I married someone else’s fantasy; she admired me despite my mutilations. I loved her for her heart’s sake, and for mine. I hid my face and changed its connotations. And in the dark I danced—slight, Chaplinesque— a metaphor myself. How could they know, the undiscerning ones, that in the glow of spotlights, sometimes love becomes burlesque? Disfigured to my...

Unlikely
Yeah I'm great. How 'bout you? Did you accomplish all the dreams, you chose to pursue? I bet you did. Bet you went far. No doubt you became famous, a real superstar. Well like I said. Myself I'm fine. Though I never did move on from you, I'm sure there's peace to find. It's been so long. Did you find love? I'm sure he marvels at...

Unlikely Noisy And Vibrant Mornings
Unlikely noisy and vibrant mornings everything was serene, celestial and calm, so ideal for a spring's afternoon psalm... when there should have been mourning sounds! Sunrise had more brilliance as it illuminated all with grace, it gave no comfort to souls in graves devastated by a cyclone; they had no fresh flowers to embellish each ravaged stone, even moonlight couldn't brighten...

5 Unlikely Methods
1.) I read a poem about a dream and so, I try to track my dreams, I try to catch them in my pillow case. All night- I flip back to back, flippantly- up and down. Keeping a cool face, hugging my arms like a cave that kills itself. Every time that I flip I must be setting...

The Unlikely Friendship of Chalk and Cheese
Chalk was bold, pale skinned, and big boned. A soft souled, porous, sedentary teen. Bulky, he made a big initial impression, but seemed to lack in true substance. And thus, was a temporary friend, often relied on to help others with work, but then discarded without a second thought. Good thing Chalk brushed off comments with ease. Cheese was very much an acquired...

Premium Member The Most Unlikely Couple
We were sitting in my car, companions to a lovely Hawaiian night where the moon shined bright, and the white caps glistened in the sea. Everything was in place. The white sand beaches and palm trees alive, and in the distance the Koolau mountains standing guard. Parked nearby were other couples chilling, listening to the...

Premium Member Unlikely Senior Citizen
When did it happen? I’m thinking It must have been when I was sleeping I changed from young and restless To the elderly, wrinkled, graying - old-fashioned When did I first notice the way it hurt To jump and play, feel my heartbeat pulsate Know the meaning of mature – senior Citizen who has lost teeth and whose vision Is no longer 20/20,...

Unlikely Bedfellows
UNLIKELY BEDFELLOWS (Any resemblance to the prologue to Romeo and Juliet is purely intentional) Two species, not alike in pedigree In London Zoo wherein we set our play, By nature long defined by enmity, One feeding on the other day-by-day. From forth the ranks of these unlikely breeds, A pair of strange bedfellows do emerge; Whose ill-advised liaison sadly leads To their demise and to...
