the supreme leader addressed the nation
on this hundredth year of the party's jubilee  
his words being powerful in their oration

the people listened to the propaganda spree
which spoke of the country's future dominance
on this hundredth year of the party's jubilee

the western world surely listened to the parlance
that spilt forth from his totalitarian lips
which spoke of the country's future dominance

the speech was aspirational in its goals quips  
to not of heard the stated aims would be unwise    
that spilt forth from his totalitarian lips

history's pages will show how communism did rise
on this day we were reminded of what lies ahead
to not of heard the stated aims would be unwise

on this day we were remided of what lies ahead
the world coming under one controlling stead
the supreme leader addressed the nation
his words being powerful in their oration
she closets herself away from our sight
yet her ball has the brightest of glimmer
a shining created for sheer delight
how dare she hide her radiant shimmer
behind the obscure curtain of a shroud
she's disposed to making us cheerless
by not displaying outside the dull cloud
why oh why does she behave so joyless
her rays won't beam in an opulent glow
there she chooses to remain concealed
her petulant manner has gone on show
we await the hour she'll be revealed
look our sun has had a change of heart
she exhibits her brilliant orb so smart
if an idea for a poem pops into one's head
the genie of imagination begins inking
every piece referencing an original thread

one formulates works by this unique stead
of its methodology there will be no sinking
if an idea for a poem pops into one's head

images and descriptive terms then spread
through each line noted on a linking
every piece referencing an original thread

to create one's own mixture of bread
never deviating far from the nub's clinking
if an idea for a poem pops into one's head

always keeping time with a continual tread
the blue-print imparted in one's thinking
every piece referencing an original thread

what concept may spring to one's mind lead
within the verse there found natural blinking
if an idea for a poem pops into one's head
*every piece referencing an original thread
someone out in cyber-land
might just be
copying a poem which they'll
attribute to their own tee

unscrupulous replicators
have no qualms
on flagrantly stealing the lines
from genuine arms

when they take a fancy
to your brilliance of verse
they'll naff off with all or part of it
and stow it within their purse

piracy is rife around
online writing dales and dells
it's the pilfering of an authentic
author's heart and soul bells

they say that imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery
but an alternate opinion
would say plagiarists are bereft
of an original wordage battery
once your name appears
on the global internet
intelligence organizations
can nosy around your set

they don't give a hang
about your private affairs
ever their eyes peer into
your unguarded lairs

George Orwell did state
in his well renowned novel 1984
that there would be a lot
of peeking through your keyhole's pore

you've no effective way
of averting their curious mots
they are always checking out
your inner plots

as I write this piece
I feel somewhat exposed
as my identity may well
be fully disclosed

the data base has
everyone's story on file
no one can escape
the dossier's profile

so friends
using social sites
be extra cautious with your news
a satellite is presently
collating your
personal reviews

a twenty four seven watch
happens around the clock
and you've been placed
in the agency's looking stock
should they take objection
to the stylish comb others
show
they'll vacate the others
spot in the
row

many a time this course
of action has been
depicted
where others were so
suddenly
evicted

they weren't happy
no not at
all
on seeing the others
who'd so
enthral

every bit of veneration
had to be kept on
them
even though the others were
far more exceptional of
stem

they thought that they
ruled at the
joint
so the others were abruptly
given their terse
point

we are aware of how
they
operate
which is to promptly
clear the others
plate
The plagiarist hath vacated this space
Yet his shadow still lingers at the place
In the nose one well senses it about
So oft an odor doth waft on the air
Which can be veiled by visage fair
The eyes are peeled they're ever watching
For that person of the copyist's cloning
Twill not be duped by untruthful flout
This day of its appearance yet unseen
Could there be a hiding behind the screen
Though the master duplicator hath fled
His presence is hovering over the joint
Of type in image same he did anoint
Within HP's walls it doth share our bed
she'd oft stab her
so called friends in the back
they knew not of such a
malevolent form of attack

face to face she'd
be so pleasantly affable
yet when they'd present a
spine she'd turn unamiable

pity they who entrusted
their inner secrets to her ear
around social circles she'd
spill all that she did hear

her knife was ever
primed for blade action
and she never thought of its
ill considered impaction

we've all known
a lady of this ilk
one who'd skewer
our blouse's silk
our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

for we are so deeply and earnestly in love
and the world is so beautiful because of our love
in the arms of love we'll ever be
and we'll be in a state of endless glee

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

the night is ours to share perpetually
my darling and I shall envelope in sweet harmony
nothing shall blight our fond affection
we'll be ever linked in a delightful admiration

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain
our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

for we are so deeply
and earnestly in love
and the world is so beautiful
because of our love
in the embrace of love
we'll ever be
and we'll be in a state
of endless glee

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

the night is ours
to share perpetually
my darling and I shall envelope
in sweet harmony
nothing shall bight
our wonderful wonderland
we'll be linked
in an exquisite love band

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain
our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

for we are so deeply and earnestly in love
and the world is so beautiful because of our love
in the arms of love we'll ever be
and we'll be in a state of endless glee

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

the night is ours to share perpetually
my darling and I shall envelope in sweet harmony
nothing shall blight our divine wonderland
we'll be ever linked in an exquisite love band

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain
our flame of love
ain't going to be put out
anytime
soon
the flare will glow  
stronger than the life
of the
moon

our hearts meshing
in the fire's light  
as we hold each other
real tight  

the burning won't
expire
we'll keep alive the  
desire
of passion's lasting
pyre

our flame of love
ain't going to be put out
anytime
soon
the flare will glow
stronger than the life
of the
moon
The word flame, prompted this poem.
our freedoms
were
seized  
the day it arrived
on our respective doorsteps    
we're prisoners
shackled
tightly
to the disease's will
none of us can escape
we're heavily
restricted
our movement can't be
at fullest liberty  
the feeling of being
well hemmed in
stays constantly
on our minds
and we're all screaming
for
release
the holding power
of its infection
won't let go
and the torture
never
diminishes
our local hotel
is a great gathering place
it is a fine place
for the boozers to congregate
after a schooner or
an eighteen gallon keg
all of the patrons
are smashed
out of their heads
many are unable
to walk a straight line
and some flake out
on the foot path
to sleep overnight
the beers is made
of the best hops and yeast
that's why the drinkers
partake of a goodly amount

our local publican
has happy hour on Friday nights
and the customers
gorge themselves
with plenty of free *****
usually by half past ten
all the drinkers
are hanging over the bar
they can hardly stand up
after consuming so much ale

it is always
dry weather
at a bush hotel
that is why
there is such
a thirsty clientele

the local watering hole
has heaps of liquid amber
on tap
so if you are in or around
our parts
drop in and have
a pint with us
as we wouldn't want
you to die
for lack of refreshment
Our new boss is a fabulous woman
She takes the time to talk with the staff
The boss before her was a nasty man
Our work environs were as rough as chaff
Everyone is far happier with the lady boss
She listens to all our work place issues
We have lucked it for a caring boss
The department no longer needs tissues
Since they sacked that most unbearable ***
There is a good feel at our work station
Stress leave has been reduced quite a bit
All staff members are full of elation
Our new lady boss is a work place delight
We're so pleased to have her, too right!
she was born in the south
a gospel singing girl
who had a voice so soulful
of feeling pearl

the songs she sang
rose on the music charts
the lyrics they conveyed
spoke to our hearts

we'll remember Aretha
the queen of blues
who could evoke emotions
of so many hues

she's returning to her
maker's eternal embrace
where he'll hold her spirit
in abiding grace

our
respects
we
offer
to
an
icon
of
melodic
culture
our sisters in poetry
aren't seen on the site's pages
do you recall them

the loveliest gals
ever welcoming of heart
our Nagi and Winn

we miss their presence
they really knew how to write
and were wonderful
our weather patterns
aren't as they used to be
I have a feeling that someone
or something has altered their tee

twenty five years ago
I knew what to expect
in the delivery of the
weather's prospect

but these days I'm never
too sure
as to the attire I must wear
on leaving my front door

the variance in the weather
does vex me so
yet I cannot return to
the climes of the ago

I'm of the belief that the weather
will become more drastically out of whack
for there are forces unbalancing
its inconsistent back
of recent times
we've had a mouse invasion
in our small township

we're seeking trappers
to rid their big pestilence
before we're ousted
management in Washington
has only gotten worse
Obama's administration
is it's curse

before he took up lodgings
in the oval office room
America wasn't as replete
with endless gloom

he's most certainly
made a mess of everything
the health of the economy
is flagging

at will be disrespects
the amendments of the constitution
and the people are becoming
tired of his flagrant execution

with a Republican
at the helm of the ship
America will have
a more astute stewardship

the White House must be
purged of the Obama regime
so the great nation of America
will again positively gleam

with mid term elections
coming at the end of the year
the majority Democrats
should be given the spear

Obama and his mob have achieved
little for the American populous
the time has arrived for them
to board the outbound bus
our eternal joy of love
     shall remain
            our eternal joy of love
                 shall always sustain

for we are so deeply
    and earnestly in love
          this world is so beautiful
             because of our enduring love

in the arms of love
  we'll ever be
         and we'll be in a state
              of endless glee

our eternal joy of love
     shall remain
            our eternal joy of love
                 shall always sustain

the days and nights are ours
    to share perpetually
       my darling and I
           enveloping in honeyed harmony

nothing shall blight
            our divine wonderland
                 we'll be ever linked
                        in an exquisite love band

our eternal joy of love
     shall remain
            our eternal joy of love
                 shall always sustain
in the wee small hours
down in the southern hemisphere
a woman couldn't sleep
so she turned up here

she didn't have a poem written
so this one is ad-lib
yet she'd so like to be
snoozing in her adult crib

I've just had a quick look
out of my lounge room window
and the street light
is shining as a glowing minnow

everything is so quiet
there's not a murmur around
the only thing I can hear
is the clock's ticking sound

the roosters haven't
started crowing yet
but within another hour
they'll be getting set

I hope I haven't
intruded on any of you
by writing a poem
out of the blue
They're out on the hustings trying to garner a vote
They're all full of those tired old candidate quotes
They're telling us what they'll do for the electorate
Their policy platforms shall be subject to our debate

Just this week they've promised the electorate everything
Yet there is little substance to the songs they sing
The clock quickly counts down to election day
That's when us intelligent voters shall have our final say

We're sizing up the best of a bad bunch for a win
If he let's us down we'll remove his winning grin
A term in office is all he'll be receiving from us
So lets hope he's got the right motor in his bus

The rhetoric is freely flying around our state seat
Though not much of it has a well regulated beat
The candidates are all on notice at the May poll
That's when we'll see which heads will go for a roll
they're out on the hustings
trying to garner a vote
they're all full of those
tired old candidate quotes

they're telling the us
what they'll do for the electorate
their policy platforms
shall be open to debate

just this week
they've promised the electors everything
yet there is little substance
to the songs they sing

the clock quickly counts down
to the election day
that's when us savvy voters
shall have our final say

we're sizing up the best
of a bad bunch for a win
if he lets us down
we'll remove his winning grin

a term in office
will be all that he'll be getting
so let's hope he has
the right policy settings

the rhetoric is flying around
out state seat
though not much of it
is absent of a well regulated beat

the candidates are all on notice
at the forthcoming May poll
then we'll see
whose heads will go for a roll
every day
they'll be looking
looking on the net
to find a much
cherished pet

constantly searching
for that special guy or gal
who'll offer them love's gift

out there in cyber land
someone seeks out another
to adore
a heart to heart exchange
carrying on forevermore

lonely souls wanting
the joy of a relationship
being close and contented
in a loving partnership

every day
they'll be looking
looking on the net
to find a much
cherished pet
on the cover the same ones appear
we've witnessed them showing out
they've done so for over a long year

repeatedly their monikers are about
parading an ability so **** grand
we've witnessed them showing out

remarkable they of well scripted hand
ever shining the infinite bright light
parading an ability so **** grand

we marvel at their dominant flight
they've always had a star's billing
ever shining the infinite bright light

again to-day their fab quills spilling
of a class which holds such veneration
they've always had a star's billing

watching them is an awing inspiration
of a class which holds such veneration
on the cover the same ones appear
they've done so for over a long year
the letter R is a letter
which commands recognition*
all focus on the R letter's
elevated position

who would dare avert
eyes away from R's shine
every facet of R borders
on the divine

A, B, C, etc aren't of
R's lofty standing
they're all prone to
silly grandstanding

the letter R is in a league
ever so brill
nothing can equal
*R's overkill
within the next few weeks the shop fronts
in all the commercial streets
shall be displaying a large range
of Christmas treats

all of these items will be so enticing
they'll beckon our credit cards to spend
and by the end of this 2014 calendar year
our banks shall ask us to pay for our big spend

be a little on the wise side when forking the dollars out
as it may well leave our credit cards in a drought
Christmas spending is so much fun
but we should not let our purchasing overrun
due to the lack of word power
this very Sunday
I shall not be putting
on a high octane display

if a spark of inspiration
comes to me tonight
perchance I'll write
a verse or two of delight

my quill hath no vim
within its dull nib
which can offer up
a stanza to the crib

in deep contemplation
my mind doth sink
to find something that will
give the page a pinkish ink

whence my poetic form
returns from its absence
there will be verbiage
burgeoning over the fence
the rain constantly buckets down
this deluge being over the top
gallons of water cause a frown
there are no patches of dry hop

this deluge being over the top
drops falling with continual wet
there are no patches of dry hop
we're tiring of the weather's jet

drops falling with continual wet
mud puddles lying on the land
we're tiring of the weather's jet
the sun's fuller face we could stand

mud puddles lying on the land
everything drenches with dampness
the sun's fuller face we could stand
we're in a persistent dankness

everything drenches with dampness
there are no patches of dry hop
we're in a persistent dankness
this deluge being over the top
us humans haven't quite cleaned up
everyday we send nasty chemicals spiraling up
which invariably stuffs the ozone layer up

our polluting of this rim of protection
continually goes on we're not holding the pollutants in retention
which shows we're damaging its convention

there needs to be more
innovative ideas developed
to subdue the ***** air
                                     which we humans
                                     keep overly producing
                                     here and everywhere

so as the ultra violet streams
don't not become too extreme
they do irreparable harm
and give cause for alarm  

we humans have an obligation
to our planet's ozone cover
by not sullying its protective sheath  
with tons of polluting smother
16/09/2014 is International Day of the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.
they track him as a pack of wolves
for he is their quarry
they will not relent in their dogged pursuit
they bay for his blood

all possible methods of disguise
he must employ
to wear different masks
is his best ploy

their breathes he feels on his neck
they are closing in
so as a chameleon
he shall again change his skin

ever cautious
ever watchful
ever on the alert
is the way
that he now lives

as the pack of wolves
know his scent
and to reel him in
is their priority bent
I'm no good at writing poetry
so this flop shall find another hobby
words aren't where my talents lie
so I'm kissing the world of poetry goodbye

there will be no one missing my crap
they'll be pleased that I've turned off the tap
my writing desk shall be thrown out
for I'll not want it hanging about

my creative mind can take a long rest
as I'll no longer be at a stanza's behest
the writing game has lost it's appeal
crook poets like myself must get real

composition offerings shall cease to-day
as one is putting one's pick permanently away
the end has most assuredly turned up
it is time for me to finally pack up
the pages of the New Year are yet to unfold
what will the year of two thousand and fourteen hold
whence the year doth get here
we'll have a picture painted clear

the year ahead
shall be revealed
page by page

each event described
in thorough detail
for the world wide stage

but a few days to wait
for the New Year to arrive
then the pages of it's narrative
shall come alive
everywhere*
on our planet earth
we can view
paradoxes
nature is the provider
of these anomalies
as a two sided coin
so divergent
in perspective
an example
shall herein
be shown

a

dead

in

during
the
winter's
cold
availing
upon
its

spring's
rejuvenation
revives
and
resuscitates

was
thought
to
be
terminal

its
branches

*enigmatic jewel

just this week such
a thief was spotted
sneaking around the neighbourhood
checking out what
had been left under the verandah's
shading hood

bolder than brass she collected
the boxes waiting outside
and off she sped with the stolen items
tucked under her left wing's bide

luckily CCTV cameras
were focusing on her activities
so the police were able
to collar her light fingered proclivities
of one mind the group were
in their course of action
all of them did heartily concur
among the illustrious team
a scheme twas hatched
which would see an object disposed of
every possible measure
that could be implemented
twas put in place
for that unwanted object
did rile them so much
but their measures
proved to be ineffective in their reach
and the object did stay unmoved
it didn't budge an inch
it was in for the long haul
it so liked the surrounds
no plans of the group
could shoo the object from
the park's grounds

Otis told me about this cool
brand new swanky dance hall place,
said it was full of pretty-lookers
with baby doll faces
not the sleazebag rough
******-types, the scary kind.
So I pulled on my best blue jeans,
scooped on a little dab of gel and
checked myself out in the mirror.
I thought, man you look swell,
somebody might say, you're fine
and with those thoughts,
I stepped out
headed on down to the party club,
hoping someone would notice me, too.

I walked on over to the servery,
to sample some dip and savories,
out of the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little babe,
she sashayed across the dance hall,
to make herself known to me.
In an instant, there was electricity,
we got to talking about how nice,
it would be, to get together
more regularly.
I knew there and then,
we were going to be real close friends,
she oozed class and she had me rapt,
my heart beat climbed high,
like, I'd scored a drop dead gorgeous
piece of sugar pie.
I thought yeah!
She'd be the ideal girl for me.

And she would be,
if she could dance the Watusi
she'd be fine with me.
Well, I'm not one
to beat around the bush,
I cut to the quick,
so I sauntered right up to her
and in my smoothest Southern drawl
asked the lil' darling,
"Sweet Darling would you like
a cup of Chardonnay?"
And she, in the most playful way,
smiled coyly and replied,
"Why Mister, surely I would,
I can't resist a fine wine!"

As we sipped on the wine,
there was a warming glow
between us two, we were starting
to cog, like in sync watches.
I thought to myself, I can play
a part, in her every dream,
my lil' darling and I dancing,
to the beat of a lava stream.
We took to the dance hall floor,
expressing our close body simmer,
the Watusi sounds,
had us all a glimmer.

Then we pulled closer,
the gravity was electric,
a sacred feeling,
I could feel between my hips
and she,
she had a primordial fragrance,
I could smell beneath her
fashionable clothes.
Reasonableness was fading
quickly with the pace,
I held her face
and we fell
into another dimension.

A flow of passion ignited,
there was no containing,
the flare,
our lips burnt with an excited
and intoxicating fervor,
our skin to skin contact,
was like an ember.
Eros, had my sugar pie and I
in mind,
when he wrote the script,
to the sensual Watusi bind.
P-Pacifying storms with a soothing balm
E-Ever subduing the tempest's hod of harm
A-Allaying our minds of the raging alarm
C-Ceasing thunderous sounds with a palm
E-Earth dwellers seek a road to tranquil calm

tree your bough is resplendent
with the delight
that taunts me so
I espy her as she grows
my eyes are transfixed
by her glowing complexion
days go too long
quell my waiting pangs
coiled are my feelings
her essence appealing
to the taste buds
provoking her skin is smooth
and a flesh so succulent
bring her to maturity
she drives me mad with insanity
ripening to her full perfection
of purity
longing my heart strings
fracture
wanting the reward
ready to pick
the mouth exhausts
to caress her fruit
at night his bed is so freezing cold
he craves for a woman's presence  
a warm blooded gal he so wants to hold

long he's experienced the feel of absence
the joy of ******* no longer around
he craves for a woman's presence

this refrain doth in his mind resound
he needs a feminine flower in his existence
the joy of ******* no longer around

bereft of all that sensual maintenance
how cruel it is to suffer such anguish
he needs a feminine flower in his existence

by himself and ever does he languish
just one luscious kiss from a woman
how cruel it is to suffer such anguish

in never ending penury is this man
just one luscious kiss from a woman
at night his bed is so freezing cold
a warm blooded gal he so wants to hold
dressed in his Sunday best
blue pin striped suit
is our dearly departed Percy
his gills are blue
as a result of a heart attack
last Thursday afternoon
the color co-ordination
of his suit and gills
are an interior designer's coup

the mortuary attendants
wheel Percy out to the awaiting hearse
it has Dunlop X 27's fitted all round
ensuring Percy has a cushioned ride
not that it much matters to him
as he's in an eternal state of unawareness

up a sweeping driveway
with Myrtle trees on either side
Percy's remains arrive at the doors
of a sandstone building
his body is taken inside
to a room filled with floral tributes

music strikes up  
on the Wurlitzer *****
Amazing Grace is played
an apt selection this hymn
for this kind of occasion

tissues and hankies are ready
to catch the odd wet nose
and many tears
which shall flow

Ralph Odges
the local Uniting Church Minister
gives a wordy discourse
telling of Percy's colorful life and times
Odges is a prattler
he likes to go on
the mourners
are lost in the mists
of grief

slowly his mortal remains
are delivered into
the baking chamber
his relatives remember
his last gasping words
take me to Sizzlers
for a full body roast
so that they did...
neither could totally renounce
the feelings they shared
the tie between them
made in childhood days
it held a cohesive twine

on separate journeys
they did travel
until their mid years
yet they hankered for
each others company  
the bond between them
ne'er came untangled

perchance their destines
bought them together again
whereupon they rekindled
and renewed their lasting flame

sweethearts at childhood
sweethearts they'd ever be
the sweetheart link
they shared was of
a perennial deed

pretty fragrances worn by ladies everywhere

has a propensity
to use all kinds

is looking rather tainted
as he is a man

but why would a so called man of peace
need to become embroiled
is he propping the Military Industrial Complex up
