No guitar playing here but why waste a good fire by only roasting marshmellows. |
[Introduction]
My invited guests and I will hopefully make your next few reading moments enjoyable. Each of us will attempt to take a common ordinary word and write a beautiful, humorous, or a dramatic poetic masterpiece. The poetry you are about to read will vary in length, style and form. May you learn a new style to take into your own portfolio, learn the definition of a new word, or even attempt to write poetry. And now with no further ado... |
Always in the light of day standing in the sun's warm rays apart from the cloudy haze That is what pleasure is like Feeling the soft wool of a sheep A comforting pillow while you sleep A shoulder on which for you to weep That is what pleasure is like The peaceful beat of wings of a dove tummy fluttering when you are in love the things that dreams are made of That is what pleasure is like The New word is Rain |
As solitary teardrop falls, The storm lets out a sigh. The rain is her loneliness, waving her lover good-bye. To drown us all in sorrow she has the clouds assemble. She taunts the breeze to rage, causing the trees to tremble. Caught up in the storm’s fury, all who are innocent scatter. Raining tears of raw emotions, Who she hurts doesn’t matter. She has lost her one true love everyone around her will pay. For today this storm will drop the rains to wash us all away. Next word is Popcorn |
Add a little salt Pour on some butter Because it tastes so good you wanna slap your mother... Popcorn. Little baby kernals They're popping just for you You eat it at the movies after the milk duds are through... Popcorn. Orville made it better Go ahead, rejoice Caramel, cheese or butter Now you have a choice... Popcorn. The next word is Fart |
THANKS HAIZEY!....LOLOLOLOL! I AM GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS!!!!....LOLOLOL!!! We laid in bed and watched the show, as we snuggled closely under the sheets. We do this every Saturday night, for it is better than any movie seats. My belly suddenly started to ache, as I realized the chili was kicking in. I hoped that it would quickly pass, or this evening would be classified as a sin. My hubby asked if anything was wrong, as I made an attempt to leave our bed. The poor guy thought this was just a game, as he began to tickle me instead. There was no way I could stop the blow, as I felt the air in my stomach depart. The room suddenly burst with a gigantic sound, as I began to release the hideous fart! I watched as my hubby began to cry, as he laughed from the disgusting smell. That is what he gets for keeping me in bed, for this fart was clearly a gift from hell! NEXT WORD: BURP |
Oh so sickly sweet I smile, My toothy grin brightens the room. I lean in, pursing my lips. Stopping short, teasing, Tauting lips with tongue, I take a bite, ripping at flesh. Juicy steak dipped in au jus, Tender, tangy, tasty, Slowly melting against my tongue. Swallowing is heaven's pleasure, Silk slowly sliding down, Landing delicately in a satisfied stomach. A wonderful meal brought to completion, The last bite finished and down the gullet. Shifting uncomfortably, I loosen my belt. Slumber comes to call for the night, The sandman dusts my heavy eyes, Sleep finally arrives with a settling burp. |
Mel sez the word of choice is "salivating" LOL A parody of William Carlos Williams's "the red wheelbarrow": "Chicken Bucket" so much depends on salivating into a red wheelbarrow beside the all-white chicken bucket from KFC. Next word is "dandelions" |
Dandelion Wine To taste dandelion wine on your lips once more, I'd cross deepest water to a distant shore, Though you tell me you love me with all your heart; Time and spaces between us tear me apart Feel my spirit enfold you my dearest love, Flying fast and as true as spring's cooing dove Will you cherish this moment true for all time? Will it vanish in mists of dandelion wine? Next word is "Thunderstorm" |
Spring's Thunderstorm The clouds sneak in from the west, darkening midafternoon sky and pushing air angrily across our valley. Suddenly wind whips my hair in unison with the giant flag overhead that snap with each gust. A flash in the distance, zigzags down to earth and then to my ears-- rumbling loudly. Rain drops begin to spatter my face and thunder rolls closer. Closing my eyes, I brace myself against the wind and inhale the freshness of spring's thunderstorm. The next word is: sunburn |
Brown and Crisp People amaze me with their yearning for sunburn. They baste and cook, then sizzle and turn. They think tans are trophies or medals of honor, And if their natural color isn’t a summer goner They worry and stew that they’re too pearly white. (Like the skin they were given is such a bad sight!) Now I don’t agree with these sunlight bakers. Coloring skin is all right for undertakers, But crinkled wrinkles just aren’t a good thing, 'Cause Extra crispy can come from any old wing. The next word is: mathematics. |
Mathematics One plus one is two, if you do the math correctly. Even if you multiply one by itself, it'll still be you and me. Subtracting one from one means tears for both. Division is more confusion and a life without my love and devotion. With all the mathematics, the sum, quotient, product is someone to hold you close calculate the odds of spending those years alone. The New word is: Rainbow |
Rainbow... What shall we find at the end of the rainbow when you follow the colours visible in the sky Why do I have to follow the rainbow I'm content where I am now and I don't want to fly So everytime I see the colours of the rainbow I'll think of you my love, and I don't know why...I have to cry. next word: picknick |
What can I see to say about picknick? Does this mean that I need to pick Nick to go picknicking? Maybe I should harass or picknicking The Milkman whenever I can...let's face it..he's use to me doing that. Or is it what mom use to say to me when I would pick on my brother. "Quit nickpicking your brother..." But then; that wouldn't be picknicking at all or picknick. For the time being, I will stop nickpicking about this word; and just pick nick to finish it up. next word:firendeferous |
I once knew a squire who was firendeferous He sure put the fire into the deferous What else can I say about that young squire who would like to play with the hottest of fire But because he had been so firendeferous, it had become a sin to be carnivorous And thus the squire had to give up meat or it would become his sure defeat Next word: exclamation |
She placed the ring upon his finger, as she breathed an exclamation of delight. This man, her love, her everything, had made her life once again feel right. A small tear cascaded down her cheek, as they both reached in to share a kiss. A lifetime she had waited for him, and now they were joined in joyful bliss. They future was now just a moment away, as they would grow in all that they would do. Thankful for the love that they share. Greatful for this love they both hold true. The New word is: Opalescent |
The Consequences of Alien Opalescence The word I was given was "Opalescent." How amazing you’ve described my mate's colors. For his eyes are like opals, and I’m so content Staring into his alien Technicolors. I suppose I should permit him to meet you, But you’d probably fall for his manners. For whenever he sees that sad shade of blue, It’s like waving a help sign or banner. He rushes to people and stares in their eyes, And you know all about opalescence; One glance and you sigh, and your heart starts to fly, And marriage is always the consequence. Next word: kismet |
Call it fate, Call it fortune Name it what you will... But my fortune was tripled And my destiny designed The moment our eyes intertwined. Passion and desire, hearts on fire Love was suddenly realized. So call it fate, if you will But I know the moment we met.. It was pure and simple kismet Your word: miasma |
What lays in front of me I cannot see Why can't you be there? Why can't you be my light? A thick miasma starts to form In more ways than one Life has come to a halt By simply trying to attain the impossible Thought has stopped Nothing can take my mind away Away from the problem at hand And for what? I am blinded by grief I cannot see through the sorrow And I cannot walk through V-Day All alone next word eventide |
The day is closing at eventide, the sun, from the moon, will hide. Leaving you, me alone with the darkened sky. I cradle you closer to me we hold hands and walk the levee wishing our thoughts could be carried by the sea. The day is closing at eventide, the sun, from the moon, will hide. Leaving you, me alone with the darkened sky. The next word is: Sprinkle |
I'm dreaming of snow sprinkles, that awaken me beauty of winter next word: love |
falling fast into the deep, dark fissue descending past each twisted level, each one worse than the last. souls bound to an infernal fate doomed to pay for their crimes in life I count my sins and transgressions wondering for how long I will fall and how much I will suffer... next word: lachrymose |
Drenched Lachrymose were the mourners Rain drenched their tears Memories haven't faded Though on flowed the years Determined are the living Pain laced their days Memories haven't faded So on the music plays Resigned are the dying Faith finds their hearts Memories haven't faded To live out their parts Lachrymose come the mourners Rain soaks their tears Memories still not faded Though on flow our years Your word is "Mourners" |
