Robots Among Us

sleep in time sound the alarm...,
face their pocket news
in what you may choose
liter among us onto the coil
waiting to long to watch water boil
there in the corner

love is their music charmed in abode;
listen to ther chatter right from above
lift there weight maker no mistake
Stop & Shop clean up on aisle eight
make no mistake through the ocean with love
Robots

Hungary Rising

sleepy boy I bloody sky
mind is broke milky smoke
what is dream lava steam
ring the bell heaven hell

pogasca in the morning
palinka at night
Go to sleep Hungary
All you pray all is Right

How To Face Obligatory Chores With Grace and Cheer

who the hell am I trying to kid!
I can't do it
never knew anyone who could

we can pretend
lie to our selves
say we are working on it
wish we were a better person

but no one
and I mean no one
whoops and hollers
about clearing out the garage
doing their taxes
or dealing with a clogged drain

stop trying to suppress
the scowl,
the pissy attitude
the aggravation

just get to it

let the grouch out
grump away
spout invectives

Honey Bitch Bound..... sexual content

we met one night
hearts of fire
kisses sweet
passions dire

out came rope
and string we found
white gauze wrapping
honey bitch bound

kisses hot
mouths like butter
i tied her hard
her eyes did flutter

ankles to arms
head to feet
she started to sweat
her joints did meet

stressed and pink
i love her so
she looked up
and started to glow

oh you mean man
she said you brute
hurt me baby
am i not cute

The Hallowed Black Pot

Passed by Aso the other day;
The hilly enclave in the midst of the three towns,
And witnessed the dance of the money bags.
Clad in robes of greed and lucre,
They twist their portly midriffs to the wanton beats,
Like beasts possessed by insane rage,
Bound in love by a common pot.

Thumbling

Even a boy the size of a thumb
With a brain as big as a pastry crumb
Wasn't as meager or as dumb
As the men who tried to capitalize on his oddity
Use his unique condition as commodity
After getting a bit of their gold
Thumbling simply escaped
Into a mouse hole

April's Notable Newbies

Happy April everyone! I hope the spring weather is awakening some muses and bringing out some lovely lyrics. My apologies for not being around much - I had a migraine kick me to the curb this week and a few other things come up. I'll be back at the regular-scheduled programming this next week for blogs. For now, I've had my eye on some newbies here on Neopoet. If you haven't already, pop by and say hello to them. If I've missed any, please let me know and help me welcome them!

How Foolish Of Me

I have wasted all my beautiful life
in being garlanded as beautiful
poetry wise
the whole world is reading me
daily
topper mainly
sad none knows
who is the poet veiled
behind monument of Time

Why am I wasting my breath
illustrious time
My foolishness is
my greatest crime

Wow now I hear mid nite bells chime
Lovedly
is it not yet time
wise up quickly will ye
before the bell tolls
for only
Thee

Dearly me

ODE TO THE NEGLECTED ( April contest)

O I recall, yes I recall
not so very long ago
how there upon the off white wall
you were always there prepared to go.

Butt time has passed as is its way
yet you were there always as needed.
I neglected you in life's fast fray
your pleas for fulfillment unheeded.

The cleanliness of my whole world
you supplied without complaint
But your patience, like time, unfurled.
i used you up without constraint.

Love and Junk

How do you measure
What's junk and what's treasure?
Sometimes it's all
In the way you observe

Cause a bird makes a nest
Of the ribbons you've left
Out in the yard --
Sometimes it's just how you serve

And a heart that's neglected
By one, is respected
By another who decides
Love's a gift undeserved

Do you ever embrace
What someone else says is waste?
Well, beauty they say,
Is in the eye of the beholder
