Who Dares Rouse Leviathan
Who dares rouse Leviathan, the Giant beneath the heaving deeps? This world now teams with Ahabs whose heaping anger never sleeps. Each one wants to hook its jaw and each to press its tongue; to try its rich and fragrant oil and see it bound and beached and dumb. Poor soul captains on fragile ships vainly sharpening the barbless spear. The Whale scoffs beneath the...

Privately Peony practiced the art of purple magic Reaching into her ruffian wand, Lingering lovingly for a second or two Outrageous? Sure. Ostentatious? She hoped so! Further down in the feathery contraption Under a peacock’s underlying ribbon of worth Bringing a bright bubble of blue into the air Ruffian wand wrote ridiculous on her forehead No one had dared do that in Nam...

Dares of Death
Death is ok only if It creeps and seizes abruptly Snipping down on prey Like hawk on loose fowl And take us once Leave deceased in lamentation. Yes thats ok, we die once anywhere. For this path has two ways, The coming and the going Its better die not knowing The ailment bearing your death calling. Death is ok only if We are to endure Heightened climax of...

Premium Member Woman Who Dares and Man Who Would
Silent lake secrets of a summer’s evening Beyond meadow’s grasses, rustled in bits of expectation Light sparkle of reflected diamonds dance on shimmery pond Cool clear waters delighting the heart of Sister Raccoon and Brother Opossum Devoted forest trees stand guard at her edges Shrouded in astral Godliness, meadow mystique Surrounded by flames of sky diamonds and their mystical promises. There...

Tommy Wagers Who Ever Dares
Nascent thought provoking threads flit to and fro unseen solitary pinball wizard cavalierly fiddles indiscriminately leveraging outcome silently holistic thought fragments strewn staccoto scattershot attenuated blitzkrieg brain storm saturates, par for course sandtrap engulfs, chaos reverberates within besieged cerebral corridor, quotidian mental onslaught spurns refugee exodus, psychological ploy asper viable coping function forgoes figurative foothold toe tully forfeited tenuous grasp slips forcing migration, Sans psychotic shrapnel clefts emotional well being, without rhyme or reason sense and...

Daedalus Dares Dandelion
5star tuning fork then. Interesting information from a cat who is curled on a very high shelf. Street credibility is neither two frogs in matching hats or a piñata. Oh drapes then. Opinionated official onion oaths on orderly ordained octagonal oceanographic oranges. No boats. Hahahaha and now a long lengthy bean discussing pines in lines....

Premium Member Who Dares - For Contest

Are you so prematurely defeated that you seek another’s armor, shield, and buckler not your own, weapons discarded by long past warriors? ...
