Lucky me
I got a voucher
In my pocket
to cash in anytime
I need
$50,000
more than my kidney

Lucky me
I get to choose

Surgery
I'd like to post "Voucher" with this short explanation.
I went to see an exhibition of Marco Evaristti at the Trapholt Museum of Contemporary Art the other day. It made such a powerful impression on me that I had to write something.
One of his works was a collection of artefacts from a surgery room, a video showing a kidney removal procedure, and information posters about how ***** trafficking (often involving theft and subsequent sale) is common in the 3rd world, where the "donor" seldom gets any compensation.
As part of the artwork, the artist had made vouchers for the public to use if they wanted to donate their kidneys and receive $50,000 in compensation. The reason for the huge illegal ***** trafficking is a general shortage of healthy organs for urgent transplants everywhere.

Part One particular: How The Soccer Warm Operates.

Beloved Hockey Costly followers,
Pleasant along with we appreciate you finding the time to study this information. In the coming months, I shall be covering different aspects from the British baseball pools. They'll include things like:

?The way the soccer swimming pools functions.
?Definitely not the 'Full Perm.
?Score sketch Range as well as Tactic.

When you are anything like me and are generally truly serious and want to learn how to acquire the baseball pools or simply if you're a newcomer to it, and desire fantastic Cost-free Sports Warm Perms Programs which include Confirmed Basketball Regularly Variety Solutions that can assist you attain these evasive Score Takes in as well as Acquire, and then please your huge favor plus consider 10 minutes to be able to easily look at this web page as you've definitely arrived at the right place.

Ignore the Countrywide Lotto ( space ) doing this sports private pools may be the traditional strategy to convert towels directly into richest.

The baseball regularly have fallen a long way due to the fact 1918, once they were invented using a many other named Jervis by Luton as an easy way associated with bets within the link between soccer meets. A few men and women paid for cents hoping of receiving the ? jackpot.

The particular basketball swimming pools is actually a sort of pari-mutuel betting just like the sweepstakes. Every one of the cash secured through each one of the bets members lies inside of a "pool". Your organisers, and various other other individuals, bring their reveal what is actually quit will be contributed similarly between the winning trades. In most cases, fewer than 30% of your complete swimming pool will be delivered to your winning punters. Compared with your wager put that has a ******, your go back on pools playing outlays will never become effectively decided upfront considering that the final amount involving individuals will be not known, in addition there might be several winners with the exact same appropriate winning predict. In these cases the bonanza is actually contributed.

The center of attention of basketball regularly bet is, unlike a sweepstakes, you'll be able to implement some "skill in addition to judgement" to the forecast involving benefits. As an example, should the initial go with for the coupon code can be, declare, Manchester United Compared to Leeds, the probability of this kind of fit providing a credit score bring usually are much cheaper than compared to they might be if Birmingham Utd ended up being actively playing Collection. Therefore, we can do away with this specific as well as other comparable complements the location where the a couple teams have got very similar form.

Obviously, one other most important attractive force in the sports regularly could be the likely enormous prizes. Till the mid 1940's, the actual 'penny points' coupon code (so named for the reason that just about every line on the voucher the any amount of money) was the favourite type of warm gain access to. Having said that, inside 1946, the 'treble chance' hockey swimming seemed to be announced, and this right now is liable for nearly all the funds attached on the private pools. Regularly companies are capable of operate all year long through the use of equally British along with Hawaiian league basketball meets.
There are quite a few Millions of individuals trying to play your hockey swimming pools once a week in england by yourself, and also about ?Your five zillion is invested from the Uk general public within the look for those people incredibly elusive football suits which will result within a rating bring.

These days, a thousand pound goldmine is common. The four primary agencies -- Littlewoods, Vernons, Zetters as well as Brittens -- situation around millions of deals every week. The biggest firm is Littlewoods private pools, which provides available prizes that could reach over ?50 million every year, exercising with ? thousand per week. Invariably of such items usually are distributed, this indicates that will all over 06 , 000, 000 people england on your own have a fiscal curiosity about the particular sports outcomes.

The result of privatization
Is a loss too great to bear
Government bowing to Industries
Leading us towards despair

Industries teach our children
Whatever whim they choose
While government stands in shackles
It'll happen while we snooze

Gamble with Social Security
Until there is nothing left
The brokers will have the money
While leaving us all bereft

Take elderly off of Medicare
Give them a voucher instead
When the market costs too much
Who'll pay for their hospital bed?

When people remove a government
What will come in its place?
The wealthy, the prideful, the arrogant
Will take charge of the human race

Didn't we fight for our freedom
To break from the monarchy?
Privatization rules through business
For the elite to rule with greed
Joseph Paris Aug 2015
Like stars spilling from whiskey dewdrop lips 
Words streak across a midnight sky of longing

What proverbs may come from these whiskey lips For every lightless night spent apart For every unspent voucher to destinations we will never travel to
Find something beautiful
And don't let go
All things of beauty
Must pass away
Maybe one beautiful thing can stay

Hold tight the breathless moments spent dreaming in aurora skies
For every darkness carries the remembrance of the sun
How it left warm kisses upon fluttering eyelids 
In this way we too will find heaven

That undiscovered heaven whose patterns we have run through
and dimly remembered sun
the hopeless light that sits quietly
In the souls of the storm-born
That far
that distant
That's where the hurt is
That is the proof of love
So I went to get new glasses
Cos my eyes have felt real bad
I went there feeling cr*p
I left there feeling sad
I squinted and I squirmed
In that black opticians chair
"I'm afraid your vouchers expired sir"
"**** off that isn't fair!"
Well that's what I wanted to say
But I bit me lip and sighed
When she told me what I owed
I almost frickin died
"How much?! I blurted back
Wide eyed and unamused
I was fed up and so I nodded
**** me should have refused!
I hope these glasses see covid
It should for that friggin' sum
Stick your lenses and your voucher
Right up your b
I went to the opticians today. I almost fell off my chair at the price...
Alive I was all that night
Hearing that creature,
Out of the reach of my sight
Deeply a misleading feature
A voice and a bright light,
A hollowness then a rupture.

I had to listen and cite
And try to imagine her picture,
Like a deaf in a rite
Trying to build up a structure,
From a lip’s mite,
From an arms gesture.

I had to wait and fight
Till the nearest future,
Like an errant knight
The bad temperature
Of an evil sprite
To save myself, Oh torture!

I had to stick to smite,
By my divine culture,
And to believe in God’s might
My sole voucher
Till the break of daylight,
I won back my precious nature.
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
The wind tickles my moustache
cigarette tips its ash
must remember to get that waxed
or relationship could be axed

My hair is looking grey
better buy that dye today
my nails look discoloured
but couldn’t be bothered

Still got the voucher for the gym
I’ll put that in a card for him
Son’s birthday coming up, 25
open lines of communication, strive

Today’s feeling is melancholy
haven’t got the energy to be jolly
ah, here’s the bus
paste on smile, face life thus

I give him my heart, I say take it -
press the paper to his palm.

I fold his fingers shut around it -
pray this year he spends it well.

There really isn't anything new
On this year's Christmas Giver Menu.
First we have the 'Accidental Insulter '
Who needs to hire, a clever gift consultor.
While handing you a gymnasium voucher,
Turning your emotions from 'sweet' to 'sour'!
Insults dressed up as compliments are nothing new,
But still,  Cuz, it's a bit hard to chew!

Next in line is the 'Relentless Re-gifter'
With telltale signs on my "new" game of Twister,
Footprint stains and greasy hand marks,
My goodness, my fury is starting to spark!
"Do you love it? " She asks. "I knew you would! "
She was feeling heroic like Robin Hood,
Passing me that tired looking parcel,
I wanted to fling that **** gift right back to the castle!

I thought to myself, "Hey there Squire!
Your ****** gifts just aren't my desire!! "

Will I fret about this gift?  Not one bit,
I'll just re-wrap it, re-gift it and,
Give it back to them next year!
The message, I bet, will be loud and clear.

"The Cheapskate"! Oh, what can I say here?
It's the same lame excuse year after year!
Buying gifts, eluded his 'plan',
He was far too busy, getting his tan.
Gifts to him just didn't matter,
As long as there was a lobster on a platter!

"The Handmade Lover" has a
Life affirming talent making,
But that 'Floral cushion cover collection,
I fear, by now,  is OVERTAKING!!!

The "Gift Certificate  Easy Roller",
Forgot you were plus five and a stroller,
Smiles smugly,  as they hand it over,
I'd need more luck,  than a four leaf clover,
Taking them all in to get my nails done,
Doesn't feel like a barrel of fun.
So, in future to avoid this mad, crazy dash,
I'd love to receive some COLD HARD CASH!!

Now, nothing makes me feel more nauseated,
Than "High Perceived Value packaging". "It's totally overrated! "

But I take courage in the "One Who Knows Me Best"
Their presents always outshine the rest!

"Merry Christmas to one and all! "
I hope that Santa heard your call,
"H-E-L-P!!! "

1 Nov 2018
I have had a lot of interesting experiences in the receiving of gifts over the years,  and as its soon going to be Christmas again, I felt inspired to write this poem to share late last night. It's my first real poem.  Hope it gives someone some light relief!

Everybody called her
her baby's momma

She could never see so straight
always crooked
winding up in the slammer
apologizing all over the place

She's got a handle on it this time
moved into a clean and sober house
going to those meetings five days a week

But her eyes they burned,
You know
Her eyes they burned

Made a mistake
Went to see her ex old man
Got strung out again on that ******

Thrown out of the house
for nodding out,
coffee cup in hand,
never spilled a drop

She's back out on the street
Looking for the woman's emergency  night shelter
Texting with her daughter
trying to repair their relationship
saying
"It'll be okay this time"
She's got her brand new teeth,
a two day voucher to The Days Inn
It'll be okay.

Always the nut house
if the night gets too cold
At least until the Psychiatrist figures it out
And throws her back out into the night

It's tough being human
You know
You know

Her baby's momma
She's in despair
Looking for help everywhere
Detox filled
Got a ******* for anybody
somebody named Joe
Sometimes that's all she knows

Gather's herself against the cold
Swears that tomorrow
she'll get it together
she promises you

You know

Doing everything except what you're supposed to
Deal with it tomorrow

Everybody called her
Her baby's momma

When she sees you
She's in sorrow.
Dedicated to a segment of the population, whose time is hard. Recovery is always possible.
Life is not quite life until
Your walking in the Kings will
Have you noticed his sovereignty
Sun rises and falls
But full moons are seldom
Imagine the sun gleaming like the reflection of a coin adjacent to a diamond
Corey in wonderland yeah I'm rapping spitting rapid fire  while chasing a rabbit
Im good in the dark like a solar flare  bright
Watching out for goblins like the copper Bulgar the penny filcher..
Imaging the days when I was a kid raised on a section 8 voucher..
Throwing pennies in the well wishing for heaven
Like rubbing a lamp but real life is not aladdin
Jwala Kay Jun 2014
"His love was like
falling asleep on an unmade bed,
Like we won't care
by the end of an exhausting day".

"His love was like
those white-lies that never hurt,
the faint rainbow that can't be
photographed,
the soft giggle of an asylum
patient,
that expired gift voucher
in your high school slam book".

55 years into it;
She just smiles and says,
"If that's not love,
I don't know what is".
The saying goes, "a frog in the well, know nothing about the great ocean". But sometimes heart sees what is invisible to the eye and that becomes their world beyond and within.

you buff the sky
and its chunky clouds
just to make it into galactic vows
for a split second you replace every bit
of cushioned decor into a exuberant screen:
all the meteor showers
kaleidoscope sunsets
solar systems
galaxies
wiped
to project
a quasar cast
a best-thing-ever blast
a point-of-no-return voucher and
all that glitters is not gold it's your smile
Prathipa Nair Aug 2016
Smile bears no cost
Give it freely
Let it be a gift voucher
For the needy

I collect my words,
  leaving them in my wallet
         for when their meant to be spent..

And like vouchers I spend my words
                                   at the right time..
here's a voucher with a ******* for
           the times you never stood by me..

And here is a coupon  
             for a rock when you needed me
                           and you can sink silently...

Isn't it nice to know all?
Can you just imagine!
Start telling a story
With a crowd of friends
**** good memories too
And that one ends it for you
Yet was never even there
Then I toss out a farse
Just for ***** and giggles
And claim there beside you
Altough you went solo
In that farse which wasn't
And that one won't hesitate
Once I try forming a sentence
Will certainly be halfway cut off
Will appear out of nowhere
While hanging with my hommies
With no ticket in stow
If I could afford to I'd buy
Yeah buy that one an attention
Voucher

The traditional pattern
of a set to for Nomark is this:
against the backdrop of the giant grift
perpetrated by the grand smug *****
he firmly grasps the wrong end of the stick
which, to be fair, is waved at him enough

A poster child for impotent rage
he’ll berate the checkout staff
about a voucher that’s either expired
or, mired in labyrinthine small print,
doesn’t amount to a free diddly squat

Without the words, the means,
the agency to upbraid the bosses
he huffs home on an overcrowded bus
where not a single other ****** wears a mask
Jake muler Oct 2015
I think it is better to be heartbroken than to be the heartbreaker,
Heartbreakers are ******! I've had my voucher for to many of them and do they ****!
Parker Dec 2014
It's the turn of a life
Burned and saved twice
Just incase by night
Their hearts seize to glow

It's the kiss of death
Stealing your last breath
Hopelessly sinking into your eyes
Dying by a fire named bright

It's the way love likes to leave
Crumbles like a dried out leaf
Humble when clearly not clean
A pain much greater then when you bleed

It's the voucher that's bound to expire
It's the clock stuck in the same hour
It's the the way she says please
The way she gets what she needs
It's the last drink in an empty bar
It's your eternal embarrassing scar
It's the match to my gasoline
It's the way this worlds killing me
Absent Moniker Apr 2018
So you asked me to send a vn to help you ***, hahahah well I guess I'll give it a go. First though I need you to hear this.

It began as lust,
In a desire to mark you,
With every bite and ******,
And leave you with shades of blue

The it began to change,
Where kisses slowed,
my heart uncaged,
A red ribbon between us flowed

It become love,
To stop the time,
Sating heart that's starved,
And call each other mine

Now my heart is yours,
Our bodies dance,
Opened all doors,
And together we advance

For my heart is owned by you,
The arrow of my heart aimed true

So anyways I've been going over the best scenario of which we could **** in, like the ultimate **** I guess.

Whether we **** at work or at a loft in a shower, and I think this is the one.

It uses a voucher pretty well to my thinking.

My name is Luke, and I live in a loft apartment in new York, I move between it and the one in the uk quite abit but my studio is based here in the NY. I am architect, writer, painter, sculptor, chef and a avid reader. I am single, a bachelor in my early thirties',
And I am also one of times most eligible bachelors.

I am Vanessa, I live in a Studio in Paris, though I own multiple properties around the world, I am mostly based in Europe. I am an architect, a writer, a dancer, a photographer and an avid reader. I am single, in my early thirties, and I travel the world finding pieces of myself.

This is one of our encounters.

Vanessa's setting:

Her arms are heavy, she's spent the entire day moving around since her flight came in only this morning.

The exchanging of currencies to dollars took long this time, longer than it should of, so it took longer to buy what she needed, the light blue lingerie, lace as usual, stockings, the new night gown, food and some such.

All the things she'll need for tonight. She has plans for later, ages abit nervous ages never done this before.

She unlocks the door and goes in, abit late but she'll make it.

It's only just hit 17:00

Luke's setting:

His blazer across his bag next to him on the passenger seat, he's hungry and tired.

He's had quite the long day, work went into late again today.

His meetings with artists took longer than he thought he would, but the sun is still up and the shades cover his eyes from the afternoon sun.

His 1967 Shelby Mustang is running smoothly, all American muscle. Not a bad drive, not too much traffic, well for a New Yorker that is.

But he made it to the parking in good time, It's only 18:30.

The vehicle life takes him upwards into the apartment and he walks into the lounge, as the lift fixes in place in the middle of the loft.

He sees her, she sees him.

Luke: Are you really here?
Vanessa: Unexpected?
Luke: Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

The shock on his face was short lived, his attention was fully caught up with the sight of her.

The light blue lace was caressing her body, it held her, pushed her full chest upwards and right showing it's shape, she was... as her skin lighter was catching light in the most ****** way he had ever seen. Her absorbed her, the sight of her.

He could feel his heartbeat speed up, he could see all the ways he could take her on the kitchen counter she laid on.

Luke: I didn't realise you would use the key so quickly, I only posted it a few weeks ago.
Vanessa: Well I couldn't stay away, only so much can be taken from words on paper.

He stood next to her now, His bag already forgotten, glasses jacket and tie already off, and he still drank her with his eyes. His eyes absorbing ever part of her.

Luke: You are mine
Almost a whisper

Vanessa: Take me

His right hand gripped her thigh with a hunger she felt up her back, her neck hair standing. His left cares her check softly with the ends of his fingers.

They kiss and all thought flees. The hunger held too long takes over.

She rips his shirt of, buttons flying, her bra is taken, stockings torn.

He is devouring her scent, her feel, her taste, her entire being through the kisses he places all over her.

She is already lost in the moment, his string grip makes her want him more, his muscles well maintained have given it the perfect strength, not too much not too little.

They both lay on top of the kitchen counter, him on top of her, both only one their basic underwear now.

He moves of, takes her legs owns them, underwear already torn, and with barely controlled aggression puts his head between her thighs to taste her.

She moans loudly from it, the ecstasy moving through her as he eats her out, she's already on the brink with him ******* and licking her shaven *****.

He lets go, It's not enough, he pulls her of and turns her around, three quick spankings crack the air from his firm hand , she moans aloud once more.

He's rock hard now, pulsing with desire, with a string **** of her head backwards to his chest, and her back arched, behind facing her, he pushes his **** in. Her ***** gives slowly, but with a strong ****** he goes all in and nudges her womb.

A soft scream mixed with a moan of ecstasy leaves her, she could've never imagined how big he was, how well he fit. And he moved.

Each ****** harder and faster, she could feel his entire duck pushing her insides apart, he could feel her tight on him.

Luke: This is what you wanted isn't it?

He says while he ***** her.

Vanessa: Yes

She's breathe less, between his **** and his questing hands that squeeze her body she's beyond what she's known as pleasure.

She comes in quick succession 5 times while there, her juices flowing both down their legs.

He turns her around, licks her up and pushes her against the free standing lounge wall. The exposed brick scratches her but she does not feel it she's already lost in the dance, he pushes inside again with her against it, chest to chest he takes her there against the wall.

Their lips interlocked moans escaping between kisses the ****, sweat beginning to lave them both he's approaching his limit she feels too good but he's held his own.

She feels him thicken inside her, he's about to come put he pulls out, she moves by reflex going on her knees and putting her **** in her mouth while stroking his ***** with one hand.

He **** while ***** him, his muscles tensing, while she drinks him down in gulps.

They both trembling stand there in each others arms, they know this is only a short rest from a whole night of desire filled *******.

The curves on her glass confine the pain
Disturbed and at last I forget her name
The sound of silence is a heart acting tame
If it helps you dear, I'll take all the blame

The ashes past it till it came home
A vow in rome to die alone
Cursed by the day we touched lips
Long forgot but never will I forget

The road of sorrow comes out as art
A man who chose to dissect his heart
A voucher for those who feel alone
In pain is beauty as solid as stone

A wandering mind, your smile can see
welded with time, we all bleed
Cursed the rewind, my lasting joke
I end this poem and light up a smoke
Kurt Philip Behm Sep 2018
Yes
Waiting for the final ticket out,
  I would write that ending word

And bid goodbye to all I’d said
  both ignored—and often heard

I asked the conductor about the fare,
  he said “How much can you pay”

As I held my pen, three letters  
  came together—so arranged

A moment lingered, a lifetime flashed,
  the past and future caught

And with voucher punched I climbed aboard
  stamped YES—salvation bought

To peddle-spread hateful ideas
for those ignorant, well shaped ears,
I’ll give my soul and principles

I get paid
if I write about interest rates
or incite racial hatred,
means the same to me

the same commute,
the same sheets and pillow
the same hollow darkness
that saw me lost

I get one chance in fat font
to grab the weary and scared
so I’ve gotta make it count

Where’s the sweet spot
that I can tap with a
keyboard shaped geology hammer
and bust out the fossilised feelings?

My skill is to polish and shine
‘til their thoughts are mine
to sell with ill intentions
and a voucher for money off a burger
Expanse of green acres draped
like a petticoat when ye arrive
birds of a feather flock together
and bees gather collect nectar,
pollen, and water to bolster their hive
verdant vista sports
spot for wildlife to thrive
such as; whitetail deer, red fox,
Easter bunnies, garter snakes.

Not only state of the art plumbing
(that would put Cloāca Maxima to shame)
for public restrooms in the works
but facilities at Highland Manor apartments
located in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania
in the 19473 zip code
(within dead man walking distance
of Perkiomen Watershed)
offers one bedroom and studio apartments
(built in 1969 with 84 units)
geared for sixty plus year old young Turks

adjacent to Maple Hill Community
abuts against pristine physical environment
offers (luscious green acres
at petticoat junction)
sporting residents such as yours truly
who would best be described
with individuals with their harmless quirks
far from the madding crowd,
yet linkedin to historical networks
sporting pleasant female management klerks
though less ideal for couples

with young children,
who clamor to know howstuffworks
and might best visit
Valley Forge National Park
and amble along redoubts and earthworks
or if in the mood to drive
to visit Pennsylvania Dutch Country
(as a day tripper - yeah)
head off to County Berks
home to an Old Order Mennonite community
consisting of about 160 families.

Classified as low income
(courtesy rural housing authority)
those whose finances pinched
can breathe a sigh of relief
at affordable rent
and if gifted with housing choice voucher
(formerly known as section 8 -
the Housing Act of 1937,
often called Section 8,
as repeatedly amended,
authorizes the payment
of rental housing assistance
to private landlords on behalf
of low-income households
in the United States)
can rest assured said voucher accepted.

In 2007, Democrats took control
of the borough council for the first time
in the borough's history,
nevertheless Republicans
joust kick/jump start opponents to unseat:
Elderly population who reside on premises
each own a story to tell, who if prompted
would possibly eagerly respond
talking about a simpler way of life
such as yours truly,

who attended Henry Kline Boyer Elementary
each of the six grades
yours truly did nearly repeat
(one classroom per grade learning facility)
long since obsolete:
all manner of therapy animals accepted
but best to with Lisa Varley Wacker
to house unusual pet such as lorikeet
for those unlearned folks said creature
a colorful and vibrant species of parrot
known for its distinctive beak

and tongue adaptations
that allow it to feed on pollen
and nectar from flowers:
Most residents sequestered
in their respective unit,
thus I infrequently witness
exhibit behavior hashtagged as indiscreet
with a total unit size
of 43,575 Square Feet,
whereby a thin layer
of carpeting covers concrete.
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2022
I told them I was tired of being local, and they took me as a joker
But the punchline of that is I'm the only one with focus
You try to vouch for peers, but some people turn into vultures
I meant to say voucher, that you receipt after a purchase
As some people purchase purpose; ******* in the end coitus
Still it was a moment you had enjoyed that introitus

Some do feel small inside; their inferior interiors
Not so big as it appears. Just masking hopes with years of fears
Spill a bottle of fine wine on me, and my lesser many me's
Fine dine around a table of my Lord and my enemies
Spit fire of the scolded tongue, but dire in response of having fun
Over the moon joy with a heated anger under the sun
Not all reach a ****** of their fun—still waiting for it to come

In the third person of the third stanza line
They didn't know me as a first person describing I
I'm that guy routing for himself in the ways to walk by
But the GPS was off to the location, and I have no WiFi

In the cause of this morning rhyme, it seemed fun to write
Mixing a wordplay in every line—I've got a childish mind
That child inside, wants to live freely but how in this adult life
Where being yourself is a crime; so you're a person of omission
As they won't see you for as you are, if you don't follow they vision
I guess I'm supposed to be chasing women, and calling them *******
Lined out naked perfectly on some exotic beaches
Placed on the scales of fame, I'm must be swimming with the fishes

The only time they'd say I left my communicative ways of being local
And a yes to having their focus; get rich and buy yourself a lotus
Smoke some flowers, while deflowering flower's with a magnum opus
As that's the art of the world's composer, I try to keep my composure
Breathes in I'm just most certainly tired of being so local
Perhaps I'll die in the crowd to be considered folklore
But I remain local

Time is ticking, as if we’re all waiting for something to happen
The movie is happening, yet chaos is so still
Movement Is so near, living in fear
Traumatized by this honor, it’s been a pleasure to be seated as your voucher
That’s life, if you note it
You needed help from a poet
I lived in tears and I was all for it
Let me live in vain if it’s actually worth the pain
Wicked cheerless thoughts arouse my tongue
Hungry and thrilled, amused by the agony of being abused
Taking advantage is tremendous, so I observed the startled.
I attacked as I crept.
It was stunning it was fair
I conquered the dare, and I actually decided to care.
Gabriel Bonney Feb 2020
I wanna make a name for myself
But this tower is not to be built
And I did not address You
So You made us a messy tooth
But God defies His own odds
Because right after he made a promise
And after hundreds of years
He proved himself honest and clear

So don’t tell me quite now
I’m okay with that rouse now
Because I found out the voucher
A discount on our amount
That prevents us from feeling
A reinvented sort of seedlings
A halfway sort of meeting
Between everything and nothing
Varying on if I feel something
The name we have for ourself is the Name of the Lord, whose wisdom surpasses all understanding, and whose peace is greater than anything we can conjure on our own. So I’m joyful whenever I accept His Name as my own and allow it to define me, because that’s when I find my wholeness

I miss you more and more each night
Stay up thinking about our next encounter
But dare I say what bring me down is freight
That whatever this is will head downward
Just as quickly overnight
You will no longer shower
My darkness with your light
You may even just voucher
Elsewhere, like a kite

Despite fear having me devoured
Im convince it will be alright
By just being with you for an hour
I am filled with so much delight... I know this is right
The morning/sfternoon
After the night before
A rainbow of alliances
Zoom party galore
With breakout rooms
No murders though
Of Gloria in the kitchen
With a *******!
About one litre
Of beautiful Mead
Later, has sown this beast
Of a hangover seed!
I think i behaved myself
I came out
As a reindeer
By donning a red nose
Most had been given a £20 e-voucher
For food
I asked for my voucher
For Lovehoney
Hope i wasn't rude!
But at least i didn't go ****
To ****** cold for that
And besides
Would of needed a hat?
More tea vicar?
by Jemia
Once a Christmas

The sun was blood red looked like a big wound
on the flank of an elephant shot by poachers.
Dripped blood on white, wholly cloud which slowly
turns red as the bandage of a fatally shot soldier
who slowly dies of his wounds?
His eyes turned into a mirror of the cold sky.
In the air is torn into puffs of powder an ambulance
comes to an abrupt halt, a man on the ***** floor
surrounded by presents for his family, his eyes
reflects the absurdity of a Yule decorated supermarket.
His wife will get a voucher.
As I drive home, a bag of night opens and strews its
soothing darkness over the land, but nearby
an anguished elephant has its tusks sawn off by a dentist.

— The End —
