the couple pledged
a lifetime of devotion
vowing to be loyal
to one another
as the years rolled on
the bonds of affection
increased in steadfastness
theirs being a true
endearment forevermore
On a distant shore thy love doth reside
Thy heart ever sings with much happiness
Never shall thy feelings for him subside
He's bought into thy life true gleefulness
Yet we're located in different lands
Thy can dream of his wonderful embrace
So too the tender touches of his hands
Should the stars align with favor and grace
We'll be together in a glad accord
Thy shall ever love him indeed thy will
He makes thy soul sing a lovely chord
Though he's on the coast and thy on a hill
Miles can be bridged by a rainbow
Thy sweet love for him doth endlessly grow
into a coma the western
democracies did slip
and in this deep sleep state
they'd lost their grip

all awareness of any threat
which was posed
had been expunged from
their minds as they reposed

warning sirens were blasting
a message so loud of din
communism has landed at your doors
wanting to force its way in
  
too late for none heard
the wake up call
they'd been in an endless
stupor's  thrall
the sun's hot fireball
sunk slowly o'er horizon
through tree silhouettes
the sphere's bright glowing flames
reclined at end of day
2016 shall be a time to remember
more especially a date in November

the masses shall celebrate all over the nation
they'll be relieved of their primary aggravation

in the driver's seat a new face will be behind the wheel
with him leading the nation happy bells will peal

the people will take back their treasured constitution
they'll be feeling less like they are in destitution

stars and stripes flying so grandly once again
gone from the White House the donkey's stain

Democrat majority no more holding sway
twill be a marvelous Republican flag waving day

fifty states of America in delirious ecstasy
an end coming to the Obama odyssey
This piece was written, at the request of an American friend, who is a staunch Republican supporter.

the power house's circuit
blew a fuse on receiving
a surge of his kinetics
energy didn't return
Some time ago one went on a little trip*
To check out the internet poetry landscape
What one saw remained in the mind's tape
A movie reel which had a compelling grip
Poet's comments were of such cliquish old rock
Like being an exclusive remarking club
Outsider verses left out of their hub
The scenery verily stunned one with much shock
One so wishes one had not gone away
A dream of venturing did disenchant
The roads lead to (an in house favouring)
After sighting the terrain's mode of sway
Taking a journey one may well recant
*These vistas weren't enjoyable savouring
should any perverts be at the site
report them it's a legal rite
of this approach there is no skite
on girls they'll bite, on girls they'll bite

innocent ones are the sought kind
those who've a tenderness of rind
the deviant holds ills in mind
sickness of bind, sickness of bind

stamp out the paedophiles online
inform police of distorted twine
the law aids the vulnerable spine
ensnare this swine, ensnare this swine
ornate her altar
embossed with jewels rare
they were
beyond compare

he thralled
in her table of praise
she held him spellbound
for an eternity

of her magnificence
he'd ne'er be free
she possessed his thoughts
in complete entirety
envisage the day
when the tools of thy labor
can be put down for good
the hands free
to amble in leisurely pursuits
at a time in the future
one's life no more shackled
to the toils of the day
a friend told me of a good cure for nightmares
she said to take a bail of hay to bed
to feed the poor famish equines
how can we prevent
the impact which shall take place
there is going to be an asteroid
crashing into the earth's space
we have no protection system developed yet
to make the asteroid
veer away from of our comic net
it'll will hurtle towards earth
at an super fast speed
as it enters our gravity
everything shall be wiped out
its force
shall be great in clout
the astronomers
can see it coming
we'll be the next lot of dinosaurs
completely expunged
from the earth's terrain
each night
one lies awake
with the vision of an asteroid
drawn in one's mind
thinking and pondering
on the erasure
of all mankind
the rock face had altered
after years of weathering
it had gone from rough to smooth
this is erosion
error 500 has again*
reared its head
where all postings
were stopped dead

error 500 is the bane
of poets who want to write
flying its most annoying
notification kite

error 500 ain't
a fine anecdote
oft presenting
*the dreaded note
upon her lips
the poisonous asp
did caress
the venom of his kiss
bought her certain death

yet she'd been kissed
by a lover who'd pledged
her all living glories
the deceptions of his love
bought manifold pain
to her heart and soul
that
she
couldn't
bear

at rest finally
with the asp's toxin
inside her being
she slept
painlessly
until
eternity
an attractive honey ***
has been available
to so many folks
who've made a career
of abusing
us taxpaying folks

our small community
plays mien host
to a cohort
of these hard working folks
they sit on their tails
watching the world go by
the idea of getting a job
never enters their mind's eye
a particular gentleman
who is well know around town
has collected the dole for years
he's exploited the welfare system
like so many of his peers

he's a strapping man
who has good physicality
some of that could be expended
doing a day's labor
and his mental capabilities
are pretty keen
as he's always found ways
to cheat the welfare scheme
no wonder the taxpayer
is apt to feeling rather miffed
as he/she is always
giving the free gift

with the government
tightening the purse strings
those non genuine welfare recipients
will have to enter the job market
and stop feeding
from the generous taxpayer's
evergreen basket
in the ambrosia of love, we'll ever combine
our melding shall sing, of an adoring boon

our endearing hearts, beating as one forever
streams of elation, speaking of this love boon

e'er embracing tightly, neath the stellar plains
that sparkling spangle, such a heavenly boon

ever we'll journey, the beloved road of sharing
honey syrup binding us, with a sublime boon

the cup of lasting love, brimming in rapture
twill be so superb, our lush evergreen boon
ever had those days of nagging
the ears are punch drunk
taking lefts rights and upper cuts
the retinue of blows are countless
this follows that
it's punching bag material
you know how Joe Frazier felt
when he left the ring
stunned to stupification

ever had those days of bagging
nothing you attempt to do for people
turns out as it should
everything ends up pear shaped
and asymmetrical
the best is done to fix the problems
without the proper tools
a jack of trades
is a cunning fool
a master
is a pilot ace
who do they think you are
some super hero

ever had those days of ragging
*** shot are taken
keeping you on your feet
like Ginger and Fred
doing a four two step
you hope a ****** doesn't lay in wait
hitting the all important red dot
notice how rabbits
dart and dance
not wanting to take up the spot light

ever had those days of slagging
the words are directed
like hacking scissors
chopping a crooked edge
at your sleeve
leaving you at the whim of humiliation
you dignity left in tattered shreds
where's a seamstress
when you want one
at a stop work meeting
shop stewards are thugs
and stand over merchants
no one comes to your rescue

have you ever had those days
none of us are immune
ever had those days of NAGGING
the ears are punch drunk
taking lefts, rights and upper cuts
the retinue of blows are countless
this follows that it's punching bag material
you know how Joe Frazier felt
when he left the ring
stunned to a stupor

ever had those days of BAGGING
nothing you attempt to do for people
turns out as it should
everything ends up pear shaped and asymmetrical
the best is done to fix the problems
without the proper tools
a Jack of all trades
is a cunning fool
a master is a pilot ace
who do they think you are
some super hero

ever had those days of RAGGING
*** shots are taken
keeping you on your feet
like Ginger and Fred
doing a four two step
you hope a ****** doesn't lay in wait
hitting the all important red dot
notice how rabbits
dart and dance
not wanting to take up the spotlight

ever had those days of SLAGGING
the words are directed
like hacking scissors
chopping a crooked edge at your sleeve
leaving you to the whim of humiliation
your dignity left in tattered shreds
where's a seamstress
when you want one
at a stop work meeting
shop stewards are thugs and stand-over merchants
no one comes to your rescue

have your ever had those days
none of us are immune
they are a couple
who've loved long
their kind of love
is ever so strong

they've shared and cared
with hearts of devotion
they'll be forever entwined
in the deepest of adoration

their marriage has withstood  
many a storm filled day
they've encountered sunny
dawns along the way

they are a couple
so well matched
their years together
so beautifully thatched

the birds in the trees
sing with an effulgent glee
they sing for dear Robert
and the sweet Dee

their song is a tune
of everlasting love
which God has gifted
to this pair of doves
evermore frail
the man will become
yet a great onus
of responsibilty rests
on his shoulder's rung

the nation is in want
of a stronger stewardship
for at present they've got
a flaccid old whip

into the oval office
the camera will zoom
and observed therein  
are the feeble eagle's wings
time has come for dear Hillary
to exit the political stage
her past performances
haven't been well scripted or sage

Americans won't mind at all
if she stays at home with philandering Bill
so she can keep his ever wandering eye
nice and still

Washington needs a true
star contender for a Prez
Hillary is too old to be wearing
the chief's influential fez

most unsuccessful was
her candidature in 2008
Democrats didn't want her
as their first mate

cameo appearances seem to be
more fitting for Hillary
so the American media can give her
a jolly good pillory

the oval office needs no more
corruption lying or deceit
obviating Hillary from the scene
shall be ever so neat
At the outset of a variable weather day
Sunlight spangles danced in the skies above
Was such a brilliance of radiant beams
As mid afternoon drew closer a change did arrive
In the grey smudged clouds rolled
Replacing the bright morn's festival

Whereupon came a moistening festival
Raindrops fell for the rest of the day
Down the damp quenching rolled
The billows unloading from high above
Which farmers were gladdened to see arrive
Their worried brows begat more calming beams

Fields lush in verdant vibrant green beams
The wetting so joyous of a happy festival
Dutiful was the timely drink's arrive
A difference made within a single day
Welcome were the heavy showers gifted above
Pasture lands looking minted and gold rolled

The reverse clime's dices had been rolled
Water storages filled with streaming beams
Such a gracious endowment up above
Unto landholders giving a grand festival
Altering the complexion of the day
Providence surrendered on needed arrive

A goodly amount of thirst saving did arrive
On the dark masses prospect being rolled
There was an improved outlook to the day
Ever men of acreage seek hopeful beams
So they can enjoy a precipitation festival
Wishing upon the receipt in clouds above

In their thoughts what is happening above
When will the heaven's bestowments arrive
Always championing the dowsing's festival
Then for them soils ideally bank rolled
On conditions being sated so nicely of beams
Will the soaking occur on this day

Festival glee awaited in the atmosphere above
Day did dawn with a dazzling sun's arrive
Rolled by the promise of eve's drenching beams
Dimity's exceptional ratings
have sustained for a long while
they've been enduring over
an extensive mile

how she manages to
stay in such a high station
is the query which occupies
many a conversation

it's something about her
blending of descriptive bits
that make all her passages
number one hits

we're in awe of she
who holds the lofty star
we mere mortals will never
acquire her legendary par

but we shouldn't despair
of our miniscule lot
at some juncture down the road
she'll lose the top spot
to my detriment
I scribe excrement
this experiment
with excrement
hath lead to my detriment
I can circumvent
the detriment
by discontinuing
my experiment
with excrement
the large exodus
from the communal place
sure left a lot
of vacant space

who was responsible
for chasing them away
they appeared to be
enjoying their stay

we can but guess about
those participating in the hound's hunt
they've remained to further
their thrusting brunt

we've witnessed an agenda
of huge dispossession
casting the good ones out so the
aces shall have full accession

tomorrow we'll hear of someone else
getting moved on
and their journal pages will be
emptied of all don
wanting a huge stage
to display her excellence
for all the world's eyes

alas she cried
on getting a tiny platform
not too grand of size
some find it a bit of a kick
to lay the explicit lingo on really thick
this day the hotelier let fly with the F word sixteen times
he has a liking for the sounds of its rhymes
our kith were shunted off the stage's
platform
by a rather churlish troop out of
uniform

the rag-tag unite wielded influence's harsh
stick
on being bought to bear down, it really did the
trick

with our kin ousted from the writing
enclave
we had every reason to feel more than
grave

seemingly the same motely mob are running the
show
exerting a controlling interest on our family's
glow

the community is the poorer for not seeing clan members
again
a disreputable bunch sidelining their expression's
train
Once the aggravation is rubbed out
There will be celebrations all about
Democrats holding sway for far too long
The house needing less of these most pesky weeds
They've certainly been a batch of crooked seeds
The Senate and Congress swept clean of trash
Washington having a good riddance bash
Old faces given a last farewell gong
Voting for the elephants is so good
Sprucing up the Capital's neighborhood
Mid term elections start the ball rolling
Americans restoring some order
Taking out the donkey's mass disorder
Will it not be cause for much extolling
they did not realize how dear
the ransom cost was to be
in hindsight now they do look
with eyes more lucid
#metaphor  #eyes  #lucid  #ransom
sometimes
one can be thankful
for seeing a false facade
its veneer of plastic
gives it away
once the top layer
is peeled off
the true colors
of the facade are recognized
imitation....
like a Louis Vuitton handbag
fake....
as a cheap Levi tag
these hall marks
stand out
to give a clearer view
of what lies beneath
the facade's
subterfuge
F-Fraternizing with people on the internet
A-Affable communication had by this set
C-Chatting happily as would a bird's duet
E-Establishing terrific friendships you bet
B-Bringing folks together in a sociable way
O-On the world wide web is where we play
O-Oodles of great mates go online every day
K-Keenly we are  involved in a cordiality ray
in the quest to look younger
women have face lifts
the nips and tucks
along with those Botox injections
all in the name of beauties perfection
but after a few years
the procedures
are repeated
to give the aging dames
that perfection
once again
a recent photo of a mature celebrity
featured in a magazine
her face resembled
that of a cat
restoring one's face to a youthful glow
isn't always the prettiest of shows
the cosmetic surgeons
are making a motza
for a face lift
her mental faculties
once sharp as a tack
had suffered
a most insidious attack

bit by bit
as the months went by
those many recollections
in her brain did die

her husband watched
her slowly deteriorate
at the end she couldn't even
open the front gate

she was losing
her mental capabilities
her yesterdays eaten away
by time's unkind insensitivities

those many brain cells
ceasing to function well
her mind became
a most depleted shell

not a thing could be retained
or kept for an hour
her mind was ebbing
and failing in power
NB: A poem about Dementia.
the faint calls of mountain birds
did waft on the late eve breeze
as the sun'******did set fast
beneath the tree line
he won the election
fair and square
and it did it with a
winning flair

ecstatic voters were
over the moon
as they'd have Joe calling
the country's tune

here it is almost one
hundred days on
and they're already wishing
to see more of Don

alas and alack they'd
wasted a good ballot ticket
by allowing the sleepy
one four years on the wicket

the air in their balloon
is really quite deflated
due to them feeling
not so well inflated
as the moonlight
peeps through my window tonight
fairies will dance on my pillow
in a spree of delight
who do we believe
when it comes to news delivery
are any of the reports
credible in their livery

a fake story can
promulgate far and wide
there's a question mark
along for the ride

reading between the lines
is a definite must
that's where we'll find
something to trust

media organizations
peddle much disinformation
which invariably requires
an expert's confirmation

false copy in the daily
cycle of press release
these misleading volumes
never seem to cease

inaccurate news is blurring
the picture we see
by not displaying an authentic
perspective's tee
where once stood the symbols
of a country of might

two towers
were bought down
by dark forces in flight

obliterating the emblems
of strength
one by one

burning flames
raced from top to bottom
whence the structures
fell to the ground

9/11
shattered the illusion
of impregnability
terrorists
flew into
might's
fallibility
one shall attempt to write a poem for two
two writers dishing up something in one
one starting with the introductory part
part two following until they conclude

do you get the drift to this type of verse*
verse one then verse two taking a turn
turn of hands working in an interchange
interchange is how it will be achieved

on reading this you'll have some ken
ken which shall show a collaboration's link
link the two pens together as one piece
*piece by piece the stanzas fall into place
the last of the fall leaves
now congregate in bundles
on our village acreages
to decay for mulch
the pledge of loyalty
so oft given
yet it has the hollowest
of rings
the tongue has a variance in it's path
it attaches itself to the other side
of treachery
the eye is keen
trust the one who
shows integrity
to your team
and your team alone
a tongue which gives
your side its unwavering
trait
is the one
that has the markings
of a mate
take into your fold
the person who speaks
true
not the one
who proffers
a false ruse
a poem which has no title
is a poem unnamed
these sorts of poems
do require a name
for naming a nameless poem
may lead to fame
family intrigues
were secreted in the closet
there they stayed
out of sight and out of mind
keeping them
under lock and key
twas always thought best
dragging them out for an airing
wasn't a good idea
but often intrigues
slide from under the closet door
there they are on display
a slip of the tongue
an old letter in a box
things of the past
no more interred
and causing
the discoverer
shock and surprise
the intrigues
positioned
under
open skies
A few weeks ago, I was told of a secret that had been closeted for over 20 years. It was a disclosure, which shocked me.
inside the world wide poetry house
dwells a fellow of many a name
using trickery that's far from grouse

we're no fools we're onto the game
every piece resembling one type*
dwells a fellow of many a name

why seek all the available hype
it's because he's needful of glory
every piece resembling one type

an insignificance lies in his story
hence the pens looking to be seen
it's because he's needful of glory

being noticed on the verse's screen
by posting under counterfeit notes
hence the pens looking to be seen

we're familiar with his manifold votes
by posting under counterfeit notes
inside the world wide poetry house
*using trickery that's far from grouse
we're gliding through the clouds
we're enjoying the in flight movie
we're talking to our fellow passengers
all is good at twenty five thousand feet
we're all comfortable in our seats
the pilot makes an announcement on the intercom
he alerts us that the flight is going to experience turbulence
the air hostesses reassure everyone
that the pilot has been on many a turbulent run
suddenly the plane drops down some several hundred feet
a fair bit of buffeting is happening
passengers hold on tight to sides of their chairs
a tad of wind shear is in the air
some start praying for the turbulence to subside
as they aren't having a stereo-typical smooth ride
the plane lurches and dips
in a pocket of thick air
it is rather disconcerting
dropping and flopping so high in the air
some ten minutes later the pilot again speaks
saying that the turbulence
is at end
so when next you're on a jet plane
don't forget
fasten your seat belts it's going to be a bumpy ride
