SEARCHING...

SEARCHING... The briars tower legion; my flesh to scourge My garments are shred; the fetid bogs slurp. Ghouls moan and assail; all verve they purge Their tongues sap valour and peace sacred usurp. But a melody soars from a mystic abode The wing èd Muse hovers; his pink plumes close round the welts... Sign in to see full entry.

ELEGY TO THE NIMROD DEAD

ELEGY TO THE NIMROD DEAD A roar racks Nimrod; flames rend to devour Shards slam to earth; blood and bones spew The vulture Woe swoops; his foul talons scour. An inferno of ire sears the morals askew that machete lives pure lest the funds deplete. With dearth of arms our troops ill contend Brown heed... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BLACK WIDOW

THE BLACK WIDOW The gilt wood wails as acrid fumes coil and a carbon clad crone intones words fell that bludgeon the light; all mirth to despoil. Her feline eyes stalk where the glories dwell. Her tresses are asps that spurt green malice upon the trees noble whose prize robes tumble. Into coma they... Sign in to see full entry.

TO THE DAYTIME STAR

TO THE DAYTIME STAR Star regal of day the leaden dome sear With your lances afire the skies to ransom And parch the torrents that spark moods drear. Bronze our skin bleached so faces glow handsome Let waft the aromas of charcoal and fare Choice steaks to crackle and sausage to sizzle On griddles... Sign in to see full entry.

TO THE BELOVED ESPOUSED

TO THE BELOVED ESPOUSED Glide you dryads and elves from the glade And crown with laurel the joyous in love. Wing swift fairy choirs; with the harp serenade The winsome pair wed when cooed the dove. Bless their vows august; at their union incline Your noble heads flecked with shafts of sun. With a... Sign in to see full entry.

CULL THE CONVOLUTIONS!

CULL THE CONVOLUTIONS! Lo the gales howl o'er the halcyon seas And whip up tsunamis; ships hapless to rend Such are our lives lashed raw by decrees That buffet our plans and to maelstrom descend. Engulfed by State placemen we flounder to shore To embrace our dreams by sapping toil wrought. Lance by... Sign in to see full entry.

OF LUMINESENCE

OF LUMINESENCE Acclaim glories long past from our minds hacked By the Dark Powers who conspire to parade The anaemic and torpid so wisdom is wracked Dimmed are its lamps; the zombie armies invade Their values are vacumed; their valour is stoned. Troops of the free to battle don't tarry! Blast with... Sign in to see full entry.

FORGING MY METTLE

FORGING MY METTLE The light I diffuse I pray will kindle A surge of elation in all who peruse My vibrant words honed to wax not dwindle. Frayed hopes bloom anew, for you bloggers enthuse And deluge my coffers so seeds may flourish In my young garden of verse and prose. My vision I sprinkle these... Sign in to see full entry.

TRIDIUM AT TESCO

TRIDIUM AT TESCO Temple Tesco bells toll; sacred rites to commence Trolleys clatter and clang as the pilgrims process. The acolytes beam and their cash dispense In their surplices blue while their flock profess Faith in Lord Retail with tributes of trade. He revels in music of price scanner notes...

LAMENTATIONS

LAMENTATIONS How softly souls slumbered under Heaven's lamps wink When the earth roared; cleaved concrete to sink Into chasms pure lives who to God rise On the Week Supreme of The Christ's Sacrifice. Gran Sasso looms blanched and iced air propels The trauma struck saved the stark doom compels To... Sign in to see full entry.
