night time doth slowly encroach
on the creatures of the bush
their activity shall quieten
as the stars sparkle

the wet weather was most galling
Teddy had to stay inside all day
the rain kept pouring and falling

he couldn't go outside for some play
a game of Red Rover he'd so enjoy
Teddy had to stay inside all day

how he wished to see his friend Roy
around the backyard they could run
a game of Red Rover he'd so enjoy

on this rainy day he'd have no fun
his electric train set didn't suffice
around the backyard they could run

Teddy thought the rain wasn't nice
he'd just like to see a little sunlight
his electric train set didn't suffice

being in doors was of no delight
he'd just like to see a little sunlight
the wet weather was most galling
the rain kept pouring and falling

Kevin is the bloke
who may well put
a necessary spanner
in Julia's wheel spoke

the polls say she isn't
traveling particularly well
and of her governance
the voters want a long spell

a new face in the leadership role
before the next election
will see the Labor Party
undergoing a resurrection

members on the back benches
are extremely ill at ease
they've had a sniff
of the electorates breeze

Julia is proving to be
a rather heavy liability
on the other hand
Kevin might redeem the Labor Party

the winning of an election
only takes one seat
with Julia at the helm
there is a greater prospect of defeat

time is not on
the Labor Party's side
and a change of leader
will stem the outgoing tide

the
locale
has become
so very fractious
some are well miffed
with the carry on
oh for still
to soon
reign

blind faith
lead them to believe
in a charlatan
like moles they were
sightless
to the false god

they were following
he who had nothing
of the Messiah's
tangible fabric

never did it dawn
on them
that he was selling
a religion based
on disrepute
none of his disciples
being overly astute

and still they're listening
and still they're standing
with his stead
and still they can't eye
the paucity of street cred

where is the beacon
that illuminating light of realization  
that says we're living in a world
which is telling of our civilization

the news casts relay
all of the bad events happening
on every inch
of our planet's clay

we're shocked and dumbfounded
by what we see and hear
these horrid occurrences
bring to this world more than one tear

will there ever be a time
when we as citizens of Earth
shall live in harmony's
peaceful rebirth

war and conflicts
in nations close and far
ever the leaders of tyranny
armed and ready to spar

natural disasters ongoing
earthquakes floods and droughts
populations by the score
feel these most terrible of touts

outbreaks of diseases and viruses
seemingly all of them on the rise
Ebola currently affecting
the African continent with demise

our planet is full of worry and woe  
of these articles there's a never ending show
news travels fast around the globe
and little of it tells of a bright strobe

strong blusters of thronging wind
blew through the town's streets last night
whirling with a forceful might
as heard in their skirl

strong north westerly currents so hot
keep persisting in our country lot
throughout the day they've not stood still
gusting along with whisking shrill
the weather of September's plot

field grasses bearing the blow's knot
trees accepting its whirling mot
the searing of a thermal gill
strong north westerly ...

dust swirling in its rapid trot
on the air a dryness of blot
all ensnared by the wind's till
endless of a procession's drill
grilling squalls in our landscape's spot
strong north westerly ...

that man is a underhanded thief
a thief he is
nicking off with stuff
that wasn't his
when I catch up with him
he'll get a piece of my mind
which wont be of a nice kind
he thought he'd get away
with touting my stuff as his own
but he must realize
that my stuff is mine and mine alone
he'll get a reprimand from me
for skiving off with stuff that belongs to me

give a thought for those many
turkeys that were stuffed
they may not of enjoyed
having their rib cages duffed

stunning coral reefs
beneath the tidal oceans
a paradise place
colors blending beautifully
the world of marine finery

the guy from North Carolina*
and his Ohio
CHICK
teamed up together to create
a deceptive
TRICK

dubiously they presented their ruse
on the poetry

by conjuring several personas
for posting a

this subterfuge was supposed to be
a secret at
HP
but they'd not bargained on the poets
who had
ESP

the wayward pair did excel  
in cunning
CHARADES   
taking other penners on
such beguiling
ESCAPADES

ploys aplenty
clever

suddenly the world is plentiful
suddenly the world looks wonderful
suddenly the world sings with delight
suddenly the world has skies so bright

it's all because
we've found love
my dear
and our love
shall ever
endear

in divine devotion
our hearts shall beat
with an accord
which is so sweet

suddenly the world is full of closeness
suddenly the world has a wealth of happiness
suddenly the world dances in time
suddenly the world is replete with joyous rhyme

forever our love
shall stay
in each moment
of everyday

darling our love
is meant to be
and we'll combine
so beautifully

suddenly the world speaks of our adoration
suddenly the world voices its elation

suddenly the world is beautiful
suddenly the world looks wonderful
suddenly the world sings with delight
suddenly the world has skies so bright

it's all because we've*
found love my dear
and our shared love
shall always endear

in divine devotion
our hearts shall stay
with an accord so
glowing of day

suddenly the world has a closeness
suddenly the world shows such happiness
suddenly the world dances in perfect time
suddenly the world gifts a lasting chime

forever our love
shall be so lush
in each and every
season of lovely blush

darling our love
was meant to be
a combination
of such blissful lee

suddenly the world speaks of harmony
suddenly the world is a symphony
suddenly the world feels so ideal
*suddenly the world has a starry appeal

Her pink bud did enrapture his gaze
The everything about her did amaze
Within him she did wake robust ardency
Nothing quelled the resolve of his desire
The sight of her instigated a fire
To be in steamy rapport twas his wish
How he hungered to taste of her dish
Captivating twas the rose's potency
Her comeliness did verily pleasure
His every thought taken by her treasure
Night came that time to imagine and dream
Whereupon his being could meld with her
Neath the lunar spell his mind did meander
Twining in her petiole's sultry stream

summer
searing heat
sweltering and sweating
scorching one's soft skin
sizzling

oh how foolish
the heart can be
to allow a slithering creature
into its atrium so freely
                                                  of profound feelings
                                                  the snake knew naught
                                                   he wrought damage
                                                   upon my heart's inner core
his introductory
to my company
was of a charming filigree
                                                   all that he voiced
                                                   did so beguile
                                                   yet none of it
                                                   was worthwhile
coldly the reptile
slipped
through the porous membrane
of my heart
and with his cobra venom
sundered
its hearth

the sunflowers gleamed
in the noon day sun
their flourish of color
couldn't be out done

the sparrows flitted
above their ravishing visages
they were enchanted
by their dazzling mirages

powers of the divine
he did verily possess
a heavenly being
among our congress

masses bowing their
heads in deference
to his almighty
exhibit of reverence

behold the god
so excellent of glory
pitching unto us
the perfection story

our praise we
offer forevermore
to he of the
supernatural store
