Premium Member Frederick Fox Went a Courting
Frederick Fox went a courting on a summer’s day fine Object of his desire was a vivacious vixen named Madeline They got along like a roof gets along with a gargoyle Like a garden takes to luscious black healthy soil He was thrilled with his date, and she seemed excited with he. Maybe a future for these two could easily...

Premium Member The Day My Friends Went Insane
They were my gentile friends, ones I could count on They stood by me when times were tough A pep talk here, a couch to sleep on there They kept me from falling through cracks Year after year, we shared the cheers and the tears ...

Where the Quiet Went
I kept the window cracked so the wind could speak for you-- all your unsaid apologies tangled in the curtain hem. You used to hum when you left. Now the walls just listen. You were always the one who made absence feel full. But now the rooms are hollow, a cathedral of ache. “The silence fades with a soft embrace”-- but you forgot to hold me...

It All Went South
Into me When will they see I shall let myself be Inertwine in revolution Searching for peace Why has it become so hard Almost 50 years to the day Alone I sit Ponder it all I need it to end This insecurity No longer a child Don't want to be an adult Time is slipping away Running out of life Will I be this way for all my days Where is...

Premium Member Today I went out into the city with my soul turned inside out, like an old coat reversed
Today I went out into the city with my soul turned inside out, like an old coat reversed, And on streets filled with shadows and lights, people looked at me with curious eyes, As if they had glimpsed a stranger in their own story, a character without purpose, And friends called me, their voices like echoes from a...

Your second home my fond memories
2025.03.06 @ 06:06:06 Finally, two embroidery projects that I have finished. One to keep and one to give. A cute building appeared underneath this poem. Inside, along the L shaped benches, He sat at the desk, surfed on the internet, And comfortably crossed his long, lower legs. His second home was embroidered On a simple white material, The red galvanized walls on top, Housing the...

THE UNFORGETTABLE
A journey To the land of the dead A journey never to be forgotten Memories always popping in So many lives lost along the way An adventure into the forbidden land. It was a horror movie Watching my colleagues Being slaughtered by beasts A bloody journey It was a blood bath Started by many Survived only by few. We went seeking for...

My Father Never Went to War
Good timing or fate Destiny or pure dumb luck Karma or God’s Grace Born in 1909, he was too young for WWI and had way too many mouths to feed by the time WWII came along. He never expressed his opinion on war. Perhaps his constant battle with poverty kept him too busy to even care. You’d think...

Premium Member My Teacher Went Boom
Tick-tick. We gathered, huddled tight, Eyes to the screen, hearts alight. There she was, her smile aglow, "My teacher," I whispered, "is ready to go." Tick-tick. The engines ignite, A pillar of fire, a streak of white. Cheers erupt, "Go Challenger, go!" Her voice still rings: "I'll teach you, I know." Whoosh. Whoosh. The rocket climbs, Thirty seconds, sixty times. She’s up there now, soaring high, A teacher who...

We went once, then thrice again
We went once, then thrice again, Pushed through struggles all in vain. A mountain of trust came crashing down, By jealousy small, it wore the crown. We went once, then five times near, Yet still too late, it was clear. Regret consumed for futile tries, While memories lingered, and hopes would rise. We went once, then ten times more, Took on tasks we couldn’t...

Premium Member It Came and Went the Blizzard Dear
Original: It Came Upon the Midnight Clear It came and went, the blizzard, dear. The outlandish snow is deep. Great wall of white buried the dodge, right where the snowmen sleep. Can’t find the shovel, dear, so snooze. Under covers, our buried heads. Our lips, that snore, are red and blue. Can’t silence flakes in dreamy beds. ...

What Went Wrong
When submerged in sorrow's sea, Why reject a helping hand? A broken sparrow, fragile be, Alone, you cannot stand. Somewhere along the winding way, In the darkest night, the dimmest day, A realization softly spoke, In solitude, the heart awoke. To weep alone, a sign of might, Yet sharing tears feels not quite right. To show that weakness, to confess, Is to reveal I'm powerless. ...

Premium Member the nights the lights went out
A terrorizing bang had my heart take a giant gulp. I sat for a second, waiting for the next bang. Is the word ending? I ran outside to see All the lights in the neighborhood went out With a whistle and a whizzing sound We saw them flip off all at once It was dark now, no stars or street lights What would...
