Dying MUse Rebel Sonnet Diva Double Flingette

By Sonnet Diva


Photobucket

Pushing the Muse I feel some dread

It’s time to write Muse give me more

I think perhaps that it is dead

We need a poetic encore

A dying Muse is just my fate

Responsible I push it’s weight

It’s Poetry I recreate

This waning Muse now did deflate

 

Begging my Muse, I want to write

A fickle Muse is all I find

Always a never-ending fight

A fickle Muse is so unkind

A writer's block hurts my ego

Inspiration coming too slow

Need something to make the words flow

Damn Muse has left me in limbo


I want to write but just can’t think

Into depression I will sink

With sudden strength I give a shove

Perhaps my Muse just needs some love

A dying Muse is just my fate

Responsible I push it’s weight

It’s Poetry I recreate

This waning Muse now did deflate


My Muse is stuck, it will not budge

I am needing more than a nudge

Won't you please lend a helping hand

For my dying Muse I can't stand

A writer's block hurts my ego

Inspiration coming too slow

Need something to make the words flow

Damn Muse has left me in limbo

Affection for My Muse Ottava Rima

By Sonnet Diva

The Muse is my object of my affection

With my demanding Muse I sit and write

Writing well together no rejection

Fantasy or darkness it’s all delight

Amassing a poetry collection

Though she does keep me up so late at night

The Muse is active and gives little peace

I must admit writing gives me release


Such a demanding yet a zany Muse

She enjoys new forms and so loves to rhyme

With Fantasy Walls pictures do enthuse

Yet writing with her is more than part time

When she wants to write simply can’t refuse

My writing with her not an uphill climb

For my zany muse I have affection

Sometime our writes bring on introspection


Often I write when I find I can’t sleep

My Muse for me often fulfills a need

The Muses words into my head do creep

My fingers have trouble keeping up speed

Yet an active Muse I’m happy to keep

After she’s done I edit and reread

A demanding wench yet we do have fun

For this team I know writing’s never done

Titania and Oberon Pantoumelle

By Sonnet Diva
Photobucket

Oberon and his wife do dance

Graceful his wings barely unfurl

Yet it’s not propelled by romance


On wings of love they dance away

The King of fairies and his wife

Together forever they stay

Dance together throughout their life


As through the skies they twirl and whirl

Titania remains so strong

Graceful his wings barely unfurl


The King of Fairies and his wife

As graceful as a butterfly

Dance together throughout their life

Their dance has led them to the sky


She claims that Oberon is wrong

Their disagreement is a shame

Titania remains so strong


As graceful as a butterfly

Cast in a Midsummer’s Night Dream

Their dance has led them to the sky

This couple isn’t all they seem


Both want the child and stake a claim

A dance just won’t make things alright

Their disagreement is a shame


Cast in a Midsummer’s Night Dream

Together forever they stay

This couple isn’t all they seem

On wings of love they dance away


Over many things they do fight

On wings of love merely a trick

A dance just won’t make things alright


On wings of love they dance away

Together forever they stay

On wings of love merely a trick

Titania discovers quick

Fantasy Unicorn Ride Pantoumelle

By Sonnet Diva
Photobucket

Releasing dreams she’s kept inside

A Unicorn her faithful steed

She climbs aboard and takes a ride


                     She rides a Unicorn indeed

Her Fantasy a dream tonight

Enjoys the freedom and the speed

A midnight ride a pure delight


He travels the sky with great speed

Imagination does take flight

A Unicorn her faithful steed


Her Fantasy a dream tonight

Imagining that she can fly

A midnight ride a pure delight

Her Unicorn takes to the sky


Savoring the moment tonight

They’re flying through the field of dreams

Imagination does take flight


Imagining that she can fly

In Fantasy dreams do come true

Her unicorn takes to the sky

Up here she does enjoy the view


Her life much richer so it seems

Imagining that it is true

They’re flying through the field of dreams



                     In Fantasy dreams do come true

Enjoys the freedom and the speed

Up here she does enjoy the view

She rides a Unicorn indeed

 

New memories she will accrue

Her Unicorn speeds through the night

Imagining that it is true


She rides a unicorn indeed

Enjoys the freedom and the speed

Her Unicorn speed through the night

This Fantasy a pure delight

Happiness MFG

By Randy Hall
Happiness MFG
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

I got a letter from Happiness MFG,
It seems my happiness has been recalled.
There's a slight defect in the joy-ometer,
when my smile is depressed I don't know it.

There ought to be a lemon law on happiness,
not everyone can afford fresh and brand new.
Some of us have to live with second hand blues,
painted brightly and sold by used happiness salesmen.

We often have no recourse but to use the additives,
you know, the ones that void the MFG warranty.
The additives are great for a quick pick me up and go,
but they leave you more depressed than when you started.

When my Happiness was new, it was easier to tinker with it.
I could accessorize with all kinds of fun and adventure,
climb mountains with vigor and accelerate through troubles.
Even getting stuck in the mud was mired full of laughter.

But now I'm thinking of trading it in, its gotten too melancholy.
Lackadaisical dramatic middle aged angst, looking for a way out.
Get me one of those new fangled happiness models that's sporty,
but think of the work that's involved in upkeep, naaa screw it.

I'll just keep the happiness I have, send it back for the recall.
Let them fix the joy-ometer, I can grin and fake it temporarily.
And when I get it back maybe I'll take it out for a spin in the
mountains, check under the hood and smile just for the hell of it.

It's So Hard

By Leigh Binder

The news gnomes keep informing
As pundits scream of mockery
And political zealots post every five seconds
On the current social media calendar

In a moment of boredom
That lasted several days
I joined them in a pseudo quasi freedom frenzy

Quoting Camus and Nietzsche
Searching for conspiracy under every stone pillar
Holding up the west wing which is holding up the world
At gunpoint

Looking past the inevitable folly
Handing out destruction permits
For mortared walls and mortal fools
I sipped upon black coffee
Reading all that can be attained
With the swiftness of a misplaced revolution

Endlessly it pours into the mind
Quelling introspection in the name of retrospection
Certainly we’ve heard this all before?

Degradation of the human spirit
Wholesale slavery at bargain prices
Endless war in the name of kings
Crucifixion of the saviors with a halftime show
And 3D commercials touting

Drugs that keep your dick hard
Jobs that keep your dick hard
Trucks that keep your dick hard
Vacations that keep your dick hard
Women that keep your dick hard

A scepter of fleshy splendor
Scorching the earth with jaded bombs
Heat seeking missiles and lead filled bullets

Which all look, not so surprisingly
Like pathetic penile projectiles

Looking out the window
Realizing I hadn’t contributed a single thing
A perpetual fence sitter waiting for the soft parade
I stood in the backyard and wondered
About the shape of things to come

Of course buildings would topple
Governments would crumble
Mountains would slide into the sea
And humans would one at a time and then all at once
See their last day on earth

A round globe spinning quietly
Around another globe spinning quietly
Within the vastness of space

Not a false phallic god in sight

In These Ruins

By Elizabeth Castillo
was awoken from a deep slumber
just got out of a lingering dream as far as I can remember
like any other occurences in my REM state each night,
some do intrigue me and yet some leave a certain fright.
mysticblend2.jpg
my soul floating along with some fairies in a far away place
dragging my feet  to an unchartered territory, an enchanting maze
in these ruins mounts of memories came flooding in,
some quite abominable and yet some are serene.

if I could pause and edit each account of my life
no I won't remove such lessons  gained even in strife
maybe I'll just utter much to my dismay,
this might have been different only if  I didn't go astray.

in these ruins  I will reminisce my passing days
even if some are bitter sweet mementoes if at times I'm out of grace,
these mighty pillars still standing tall here despite surmountable turbulences
symbolize how strong I have been in this journey and how my life made sense.

The Underneath

By Tarringo Vaughan



The Underneath

His concealed rage reaches
through an unbreakable silence;
suffocation of his mind breathes
 for a controlled balance/

  and there he stands,
his own victim, trapped
inside the casket of insanity.

Collapsed lungs fight against the wall of internal pain.
Smothered into alertness,
 his pulse beats against the respiratory
failure of his brain.

He searches for a way out;

a self destructive soul
tortured in the hollow halls of mental chains
and colliding walls of airless grain.

He calls for forgiveness, but echoes bounce back
into the eardrums guilt.

Sound proof screams radiate through the tunnels
of the underneath; a world of deep darkness

where his morality has fallen,

  buried alive

by the sins of his own callin’

Harp Angel Pantoumelle

By Sonnet Diva

Harp Angel Pantoumelle

On her Music she does depend

Feeling as if her heart will break

For it has always been her friend


 Playing the Music of the Night

 A haunting and sad melody

 Harp Angel floats in sky tonight

 For Music is her speciality


She gave her heart a big mistake

Pouring her heart out as she plays

Feeling as if her heart will break


 A haunting and sad melody

 For Music makes eh pain decrease

 For Music is her specialty

 Her broken heart, it’s her release


Rejections brought on such malaise

Immerses herself in her grief

Pouring out her heart as she plays


 For Music makes the pain decrease

 The Music Muse has been her guide

 Her broken heart, it’s her release

 Those feelings she’ll no longer hide


From heartbreak pangs she wants relief

Such feelings she can not control

Immerses herself in her grief


 The Music Muse has been her guide

 Harp Angel floats in sky tonight

 Those feelings she’ll no longer hide

 Playing the Music of the Night


She hopes the music will console

Hoping once more her heart will soar

Such feeling she can not control


Playing another sad encore

Hoping once more her heart will soar

Harp Angel floats in sky tonight

Playing the Music of the night
