Premium Member our pets are unusual
my little sister has a persnickety pretty polka dotted dragon I stay clear of him even when his tail is wagg’n. I myself ride a slightly off-kelter purple unicorn who when he was a baby somehow lost his horn we will race each other, my little sister and I. Our judge is a day owl named Old Sly. Old Sly should...

Premium Member Unusual Day
Today is not the usual day I have no word for it And indirectly I can't say Or draw it on a paper sheet It's like a photograph of you On Cromer beach somewhere And I recall the wind that blew Although I wasn't there A day without a name, it meant A documented true I see a place, where you still...

A Monstrosity Of A Poem
What is this atrocity, What is this uniquely unparalleled monstrosity, What is this element with undefined velocity, What is this singular, peerless challenger of viscosity! What is this implement: almost an oddity, What is this matter, a goofy comedy? What is this contraption; is it a commodity? What is this apparatus - is it for cosmology? Why, this foolish widget is a philosophy, Though...

Premium Member A Most Unusual Evangelical One-Man Band
An old preacher named Ned Got it into his head To make a musical pilgrimage Before he was dead. He claimed divine inspiration To form a band and tour the nation, And by so doing treat its ills, Not with welfare checks and pills, But with arpeggios and trills. He'd spread the gospel word through music And lead the land back to salvation. He first made...

Unusual
Every time I plan to fly there is some disruption in the sky. Every time I plan to fly the eagle appears out of nowhere above the sky, flying at an altitude that cause everyone to be confused, several of them coming from the East jostling in the breeze searching for a place to land...

archeologists discovered a puppy in a grave might have seemed unusual if it had been recent but not uncommon, due to our love of puppies but this grave was not usual because it was dug in 10, 000 b.c. before we knew puppies existed...

Premium Member A Blank Smile
Don’t smile with me if you don’t want to Because I am not a mirror Don’t be like a bluffer who gives me a black smile In a strange, nervous and abnormal style Because I am not a josher Show me the genuine emotions of you Give me something normal or natural I am not asking for anything special Just be yourself and...

Premium Member An Unusual Fear
The faces of the parents revealed neither worry nor care. They were not afraid, but there was an unusual scare. Kids walked alone, not for tricks, but for treats. No child was worried about the candy eats. All that mattered was that the candy was sweet. And always with respect, the kids did greet. There were no razors or...

Premium Member An Unusual Friendship
Sleek form of burnished russet fur nimbly walking our garden wall. Each night we expect this visitor, indeed he has become an old friend. No longer hungry, robust and fit with a very fine brush. He sits down quite fearless waiting, dreaming of his potluck dinner. I never named this creature, although literature calls him Raynard. He is the hero of countless adventures. No, if I...

Georgia summer morn We don't usually see Goldfinches here unless it is in their spring migration or their fall migration, so I was shocked. We...

His disposition sweet and sour Laden personality stuck by the hour A water bearer an Aquarius Hot pink, missing link An unusual unconstitutional cunning consumer man Just buying time crossing righteousness line Doused in the oils at the fragrances of sinner strands Adjust how can he stand He needs to be reprimand Snow day in the middle of summer Spotlight shadows in the bright Double...

Premium Member An Unusual Tea Party
I planned my party with great care Sent out invites so guests were aware Cats accepted they purred with delight Rover was reticent but came on night. My friends were unruly but settled down As tea was served they made no sound Think perhaps they were intimidated A fact I should have anticipated. Chocolate muffins broke the ice Rover tucked in and barked "so...
