Sultry Dance
Through my years of defiance And lust for reliance I bid the underlying truth within the words 'help me' For whatever shall come of my untimely departure Shall configure to my last forgotten desire Is it my sultry dance that keeps me coming for anew Or is it something to do with my lore Whatever it is, dear reader Only time...

RIP Alice
Alice passed away this week, But it would just be wrong If a Turkey Day went by without Us listening to her song*. For Arlo Guthrie wrote a tale About her restaurant And he started a tradition Which, each year, I always want. We’re sitting in the car, en route To have our special meal And at noon on classic radio, My husband at the wheel, The...

Rip Tide
Before you I drifted at sea. Always afloat, Never anchored. So is the life a sailors' Or pirates' Wife. When the tide went out It left me behind, But you were there To sweep me Off my feet. The day you got caught In the undertow I too started To sink below, Cursed to ebb and flow Eternally as the tides. But anchored to you, I see It was merely a...

Humble B Bumble - 19 - Humble and Blondebee RIP
Humble and Blondebee R.I.P. Humble went out with Blondebee and tried to have fun. He wanted to kiss her, but his heart was still young, And he was too shy; she said she didn’t mind. They spent time together and loved to fly. They would hold each other’s hands, And spin through the air together. She was Humble’s first love and He had...

RIP CME
Cheers to the CME, a carnival fun, Registration sky high, just a pocket - filling run. A meet in the past, where ideas reigned, Now a plot, these days, where pretense is feigned. A hunt for souvenirs by speakers, Goodies sought by eager seekers. Science and commerce join hands, As pharma companies muddle with vital glands. A booming industry,...

Premium Member The Rip
A line of waves begin their run to shore, lifting, rising up and flaring cobra like as if preparing to strike, gliding forward until the shallows down them and they fall, deflating to a withering crawl up the incline of a beach, beaten into tiny bubbles that burst harmless at my feet. I am safe here beyond the lethal reach of waves and water where,...

Premium Member Return If Possible RIP
I read that RIP could also mean Return if Possible, I am such a fan of the impossible. I can imagine the night you took flight, Soaring up to the sky so bright. Fleeing from the pressure and pain, Finally free, and you finally feel sane. Up to the arms of those who left us, Surrounding you and making a fuss. You glanced...

But you did rip your scalp off for him
"If we would need a boy for prom and someone would ask us-" "I wouldn't accept him" "But I didn't even mention his name. I meant everybody, who it might be." "Yeah, I am just saying" Sigh...

Premium Member RIP Erich Anderson And Rob Dier
Woodsman on a prowl Sneaking around like an owl Noticing innocents getting a fright Watchman you are a good knight Defending partiers in a plight Battling a monster in a murderous fight Erich you guarded them all Despite the rainfall Where thunder clapped Lightning snapped Spotlighting your heroic stage Heralded by the girls maturing in age...
