an utterly useless tale
An utterly Useless Tale
On a big round oak table in a living room, a vase, in its small crack, lived two house ants. They were sitting outside, considering a box of matches on the tabletop.
“if the box was empty, I’m sure I could push an inch or two the first and said. “Yeah,”

Being Utterly Modern
There you are
gazing into the water
as it coils around the pier,
hoping to decipher
its tidal language, divine
a message in the slow lift
and fall of the swell,
the soft lapping sound echoing
through the dark shadows
below.
But whatever is here
seems to have withdrawn
deeper into itself, far beyond
where your senses can reach
or your uprooted mind

Utterly Preposterous
Aliens DO exist and they are observing us guys
The way we interact with each other
What advice do you think they would give us
Would they throw up their hands in disgust
And say, “it's no use... people of earth, you just don't get it!”
Or would they see hope for us and offer to help
Perhaps they've gone through

utterly captivating
was our magical night.
as dawn lay down to sleep,
we remained awake to stargaze.
utterly romantic,
honey-sweet moments we did share.
a rendezvous tailor-made for royals;
t'was unforgettable.
utterly unforgettable!
we held midnight
in the palm of our hands;
lost in a world of our own.
utterly amorous
was the spark of love exploding
beneath the pale moonlight
each time our

“Love, is a prompt, that utterly inspires the sleepless stars above grieving grass,
so let the wind and waves be the music to the heart that longs in euphonious silence.” ~ By the Poet
The quartz moon has seen your silent scribbles,
and how I'm utterly drenched in teal~
seas of stardust, where silhouette
of sky floats

"I love words, because they're mine. Utterly, completely mine. I can share them with others. I can keep them to myself. I can use them over and over again. No matter what I do, they'll always be mine. No one can take them away from me." - Parker S. Huntington

"The best thing I can say about me is that I am utterly what you see." by author of this poem
Utterly in love with writing I have been
since my muse first visited and I picked up her pen.
Utterly adoring of family and friends I am.
Though far from most of them, I call to chat as

Quote: “It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age”. -- Margaret Mead
On a spring morn bathed in golden light,
I'm enchanted by the mist, a breathtaking sight,
Like stairways to heaven, from the

Utterly
Utterly joyful when daffodils bloom
Winter is banished we live in the light
Spring melody creates wonderful tune
Landscape perfection is beautiful sight.
Swathes of yellow burst from cold winter ground
Floral Renaissance it's springtime fever
Fecundity gathering all around
Nature's become a magical weaver.
Busy weaver of spells on winter earth
Starting with daffodils, profound delight
Captivating moment nature gives birth
Triumphant vista makes our

In the realm of words, where wonder weaves
A tapestry of dreams and beliefs
A poet seeks to paint a scene.
With words alike colors, vibrant, and keen.
Within this tapestry, we find a tale,
Of quintessential love that will never fail.
Two souls entwined in propinquity
Bound by a love that's pure and free.
In the realm of words,

Things I Utterly Abhor
There aren’t many things I utterly abhor,
Seems a waste to concentrate on dross
I do cringe when I look at an unsightly sore.
Forced to spend time with a churlish boor
I will always consider an unfortunate loss,
There aren’t many things I utterly abhor.
Observing a child spoiled rotten to the core
Whose parents have not taught who’s boss

Utterly Despicable
Isn't it about time that the West and NATO stepped in
To put a stop to brutal aggression by Vladimar Putin
Men bound and shot, with their hands tied behind their backs
Enough is enough civilised world, it's time to launch attacks.
From cities and towns the Russians are starting to withdraw
Journalists are reporting on the unspeakable horrors they

Truly Utterly Free
You have always been nasty and mean Julia's mother said.
It was that horribly mean voice she remembered as a child.
Charming, her naked cherubic faerie gave her a wink.
You are better than okay, she told her.
Much nicer than your mother ever could be.
Julia felt a lot better; she loved her faerie.
She had tried to put clothes
