Good Nighty Night with the Sandman

I'm sleepy as heck
trying to play gummy drop
I'm tired of being up this late
far far into the wee hours of dawn.

Ohh! I'm rocking to the right
and rocking to the left
awaken by my body motion
which kept me from falling to the floor.

I think I'll call it "lights out"
and say "good nighty night"
with my stylus in hand I'm played
gummy drop on my iPhone with the sandman.

I hope I'll win level 17
with these five remaining moves
to complete this game
then I'll fall a sleep.
Before its too late

my knew friend

I have this knew and reel good friend
he's come too help me with my rights
my poems and my prose, shortly
will aspirate too grater heights

I now know longer kneed worry
if weather I have spilt things write

I can rely on my knew friend
to watch four me four for spilling slights
sew now my talent will a crew
and I'll right stuff of pure delights

with not a care I might mis-do
(and know kneed now four dumb re-rights).

Washed Up Lovers...

Washed Up Lovers…

Lava hot kisses fuelled by
your mischievous blue eyes,
explosions charging through our
bodies, created by touch
ardour, surprise.

Haven’t left our bed for days,
sleep hasn’t come for many an hour
I just want to be here while you amaze,
don’t want to leave that grip of power.

Clinging sweaty dreamlike movement,
wow again I feel that sudden ache.
I wonder will it ever be spent,
then I see your lust remake.

WILDERNESSES

I have walked the wooded ways
since I was the merest child
through winter's clear and summer's haze
and often thought myself quite wild.

These lands were easily understood,
for wild places have no politics
so time was spent there when I could
as life's candles consumed their wicks.

In times of both deep joy and sorrow
peace always waited for me there
and helped me face the next tomorrow,
relieving any stress or care.

The Pushers

out the window
pitchforks rise
village torches, fear blown eyes

be you queer
or Mohammed
allied hysterics weave the thread

god’s own drones
will not give way
the holy bank note’s here to stay

and while the hate
is seeping in
divisive plans are underpinned

the war machine
your faithful friend
has nothing for you in the end

Lady Knight and Feminist Scientist (Humor in Poetry) ws Pt 2 (Judyanne)

Lady Knight, Knights of Chivalry
Soul passion, her creation, her discernment
her inherent talent, arts and technology
She strived to attain knowledge from the Internet.

During her virtual interaction she met a feminist scientist
name Samantha.

Then Lady Knight resigned from Chivalry
Burnt her bra in a fit of revelry
and spent her talent chasing the science
of pendulum swing and the associated relevance

Noahamen! ...halved reducng unread

Till disease do us part
There are only three diseases
maybe four
may be some more
which we all here are afraid of

one is dementia
second Alzheimer’s
third Parkinson’s
fourth Cancer
fifth and finally
lungs going, going, gone

in no desired order!

A Rose By Any Other Name - ( Joint effort by Stan and Mand )

F = Father
M = Mother
B = Baby
D = Daughter

F
I am the mayor mister clump
and don't forget the mister
lest I give your ears a thump
thus raising a blood blister.

M
I am the lovely Mrs Clump
with red hot womanly wiles.
Hubby thinks that I'm top trump
'til he sees my ghastly piles.

B
Goo, goo, goo, goo
baby boy.
Just learning a few words,
smiles are not always for joy!

JUST ANOTHER STONE POINT

A few years back I walked a burn
the kind foresters call "controlled".
It cleared the woods of brush and fern
leaving the woods' floor bare and bold.

Most of the ground was blushing red
(from being clay, or being bare?)
all undergrowth unburnt was dead
no sign of deer, wild hog or hare.

Along a ridge where quartz lay white
I chanced to spot a stone spear head
but what really caught my sight
this point was gray as weathered lead.
