Letters of nature

A flowery garden 
Blooming so fast 
Chaste leaves is all it cast
Daisies are like beautiful maiden 
Etched on each leaves are meaningful lines 
For some are healing and others poisonous 
Great seducers with their beautiful thorns 
Healthy petals washed over by dews 
Infact they are the best of all
Jungle butterflies hovering above 
Keeping them company with care and love 
Like angels blowing peacefulness of doves 
Man is just a little bit different 
Not contented with whatever nature offers 
Only until death makes him silent 
Plants and trees are powerless 
Quiet when pest share it's 
Rewards to their own body 
Soulless living trees standing patiently
Taunted by all that pass by
Uninterested in their own way of life
Vagrant in its own hidden eyes
Watch as it converse with it dear birds
Xebec night silence whispering sea stories, while man
Yelling of his own misfortune till he is
Zipped up underneath the sand

Bat

A bat cries differently,                                                             
eats fruits,                                                                            
gliding, hanging insectivore,                                          
Jackal-Kite, living mammal,                                                                         nursing offspring, pup ,                                                                          quarrelsome, rodent species,                                                                                   terrible, umbrella vampire,                                                                          winged xebec,                                                                                                 yearn zoo .

                     xylograghs mark the hull
             xanthic sails fill and shape
             xenops birds are a’flight 
                   xiphias fish swim seas
                        xenial sailors sing
                 xylophone sounds soothe souls.

Boat Similes

Abacus yacht boats pleasy
Banana boats are queazy
Catamaran boats squeezy
Dinghy boats all out easy
Eagle Craft boats too cheesy
Fishing boats yet so breezy
Game boats crazy uneasy
Houseboats creepy sneezy
Inflatable boats fizzy
Jet boats so smokeeasy
Kayak boats much so creasy
Lifeboats namely are busy
Motor boats mainly teasy
Narrowboats are but woozy
Origami boats leasy
Pontoon boats namely weasy
Q-Ship boats likewise greasy
Rider boats rather wheezy
Sedan bridge boats are flimsy
Trawler boats just as queasy
U-boats notably dizzy
Vessel boats sure are squeasy
Wakeboard boats easy-peasy
Xebec boats rather frenzy
Yacht boats are indeed sleazy
Zille fish boats funny fuzzy

Venus Unveiled


Amazing beauty calls deep
Erotic feelings grow high
Inferno jigs - kisses lure
Murmurs nestle orgasmic paradise
Quivers rest - senses travel
Unveiled Venus wags
Xebec yearns zenith

Premium Member After the Storm

After the storm eased slowly
Big waves smashed against the shore
Causing havoc everywhere
Drinking more than he should
Eating until stuffed
Feet sliding everywhere
Grabbing at straws
He caught on to what he could
Into the sea he waded
Jigging about he got soaked
Keeping to his feet only just
Looking everywhere
Masts in the distance
Nothing else out there
Or not that he could see
Perhaps a castle far away
Queen could be dining
Royal banners flapping
Swimming towards it
Took a long time
Under the spell
Victory not clear
Washed up on the shore
Xebec sailing past
Yacht moored near by
Zanzibar in the distance


Blackened Goby

Flaming red corvette...
Billow sailed dry-docked  xebec
smoking calumet

Birth of a Zombie

abandoned baby, cant decipher
evil faces gleefully hover
immortals jab kin's life
melancholy!! never obtained pride 
quietly raising sad trumpet
under velvet winged xebec 
yielded zombies
