cradle me in
your arms
never never
let me go
lull me in your
embrace
until
forevermore

tenderly hold me
in the darkness
of the night
let your loving arms
tell me that
everything
will be
alright

in
your
arms
I'll
feel
secure
from
harm

in
your
arms
I'll
have
not
one
little
qualm

cradle me in
your arms
never never
let me go
lull me in your
embrace
until
forevermore

the odium of the thing not forgotten
all about it twas dead set rotten
the nose did well recall the stench
enough to make the gut wrench
the fresh air did smell neat
it twas a great treat
begone gross stink
that rat fink
bad its
ad

we've started the ball rolling
on the secret project
should it be successful
it'll have a positive affect

I've laid the golden egg
with promise in mind
the pay off will be of an
enhancing little kind

a good friend is right behind
the plan's progression
we'll be playing a jolly tune
in our happy procession

if it gets to the market place
a few bucks might be made
there may even be a spot
for it in a country cavalcade

at this stage I'm waiting
on my friend to send a cable
as to whether we've got
a product fit  for the table

when I laid that rosy egg
some six weeks ago
I put a good deal of iron
into its rounded glow

The master copyist hath made an appearance
Without being given the proper clearance
He's just blown in at another poetry site
One bets he'll be at his usual caper
Plagiarizing poet's work on his paper
Twas noted that he'd come to have a look
For poems which he could put in his own nook
None can be credited as a true write
This chap is serial at knocking things off
No wonder we should of him verily scoff  
As bold as a brass **** he was stealing
Slipping under the radar's scope to ******  
He's made that locale his casual patch
Hope he hasn't purloined those poet's writing

she dwells in sorrow, every waking minute
she dwells in sorrow, every waking minute
tears scald her cheeks, there is no respite
tears scald her cheeks, there is no respite
there is no respite, she dwells in sorrow
every waking minute, tears scald her cheeks

the bow of grief wraps her, it doesn't untie
the bow of grief wraps her, it doesn't untie
she is locked in sadness, the doleful pall
she is locked in sadness, the doleful pall
she is locked in sadness, the bow of grief wraps her
the doleful pall, it doesn't untie

oh for the sun's face of glee, her heart being unburdened
oh for the sun's face of glee, her heart being unburdened
the loss and pain, to be lifted from her soul
the loss and pain, to be lifted from her soul
her heart being unburdened, the loss and pain
to be lifted from her soul, oh for the sun's face of glee

she is locked in sadness, the loss and pain
it doesn't untie, there is no respite
she dwells in sorrow, the doleful pall
tears scald her cheeks, the bow of grief wraps her
to be lifted from her soul, oh for the sun's face of glee
every waking minute, her heart being unburdened

drunken stupor
in a sea of turmoil
the soul wrenched
to the point of spoil

ever looking for the answers
in a dram or two
yet none come his world
steeped by the brew

to rise above
the bottle's neck
to be clean
not a train wreck

where to seek refuge
a port beyond the grog's hell
to be again
of mind and soul well

the plimsoll line
that equalizing point
to recover life's direction
without the *****'s anoint

a sea of height
the beating down of alcohol's grip
to make fast
the rudderless ship

man hath placed
his ruinous hand
upon the planet's
finest attributes
no service to the
natural world
hath he imparted

he cuts down copious trees
in the Sarawak rainforests
he digs holes in the ground
all around the Gunnedah shire
he pollutes the atmosphere
over the Guangzhou province of China
he spills oil on the pristine coral reefs
in the Gulf of Mexico
and the list of his misdeeds
goes on and on...

man shall pay for the ruin
he hath wrought upon the planet
his unfeeling hand
touches every corner of the globe
a day of reckoning
isn't far away
all the beauteous assets
of our planet
shall be blown away

man is yet to realize
that he needs to preserve
the planet
for future generations
that are yet to come...

there is no other planet
for humanity to live on
and where will man go
when his hand hath ruined
the Earth's magnificent show

a message
sent out to all and sundry
a clarion call
reverberates around the planet
a mega phone
hear the Earth's alerting cry

man's hand
touches the planet
without a properly
conceived thought...

the tzars are holding court
at a particular place
and they love to be in possession
of this most important space

quite a few are bowing down
to these narcissists most grand
they've become adept at gaining
a higher perch in the stand

no doubt the blue bloods
can sway those who wish to ascend
they are at this self serving practice
long after the day is at end

the tzars egos must be fed
it sustains them so perfectly
by the ones who wish to
obtain a top position so ardently

this morning
the spammer is at it again
he/she enjoys
a spamming refrain

the spamming craze
has taken hold all over the place
it would seem that the spammer
wishes to reside in this space

the spammer will not be
denied a spamming locality
that is why he/she
has set up a freehold spamming territory

the spammer has become
fond of the decor around here
so he/she will keep
dropping off his/hers spamming gear

over the last 24 hours
a spammer has spammed
his/hers spamming
belongs in spammer land

somewhere on the internet
he/she was directed
to several poetry sites
it is apparent that the director's pointer
has caused the blight

the procession of spamming
at Hello Poetry
has streamed in with impunity
there hasn't been a frisking marshal
standing at the gate's entry

as a consequence the spammer
is doing what he/she wants to do at will
and we've been held hostage
to their permeating skills

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

for we are so deeply
and earnestly in love
and the world is so beautiful
because of our love
in the embrace of love
we'll ever be
and we'll be in a state
of endless glee

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

the night is ours
to share perpetually
my darling and I shall envelope
in sweet harmony
nothing shall bight
our wonderful wonderland
we'll be linked
in an exquisite love band

our eternal joy of love
shall remain
our eternal joy of love
shall always sustain

dressed in his Sunday best
blue pin striped suit
is our dearly departed Percy
his gills are blue
as a result of a heart attack
last Thursday afternoon
the color co-ordination
of his suit and gills
are an interior designer's coup

the mortuary attendants
wheel Percy out to the awaiting hearse
it has Dunlop X 27's fitted all round
ensuring Percy has a cushioned ride
not that it much matters to him
as he's in an eternal state of unawareness

up a sweeping driveway
with Myrtle trees on either side
Percy's remains arrive at the doors
of a sandstone building
his body is taken inside
to a room filled with floral tributes

music strikes up  
on the Wurlitzer *****
Amazing Grace is played
an apt selection this hymn
for this kind of occasion

tissues and hankies are ready
to catch the odd wet nose
and many tears
which shall flow

Ralph Odges
the local Uniting Church Minister
gives a wordy discourse
telling of Percy's colorful life and times
Odges is a prattler
he likes to go on
the mourners
are lost in the mists
of grief

slowly his mortal remains
are delivered into
the baking chamber
his relatives remember
his last gasping words
take me to Sizzlers
for a full body roast
so that they did...

a political party that supports
the legalization of Mary Jane
is bound to be the first one
to sprint down the winner's lane

the constituents shall be busy
potting many a dope seed
so they've got a sufficient supply
of ye olde happy ****

to-day bongs and reefers
will be lit in much jubilation
as the smokers get high
on Mary Jane's elevation

in northern climes
a waffling bird can be heard
his waffling goes on
unperturbed

tuning out from the waffling
is the best thing
as constant waffling
can be so trying

in northern climes
the waffling bird never ever stops
he may need a silencer
placed around his waffling chops

in northern climes
the waffler waffles away
cause waffling on
doth make his day

a heavy cape of mist
hung over the rolling hills
the air twas replete
with the frostiness of winter's chills

all of the countryside
wrapped in a trembling shiver
even the rabbits and foxes
did repeatedly quiver

the setting in of the season
of protracted cold
freezing paws did clutch
with an uncharitable hold

all portions of the landscape
dead of state
the naked boughs of the trees
hung their heads in lowly gait

into a morass of tundra
which wasn't pleasantly nice
all would lay encased
in a gelid block of ice

a frozen solid mass
prevailed for a long spell
the New England region
devoid of the warming summer's knell

love's orchestra
plays
in enduring hearts
the baton
of time
harmonizes
the two
in
a
symphony
of
accord
souls
remaining
steadfast
as
the
endearments
of
love
ever
last

again a visitation is made, billowing smoke in the bush
again a visitation is made, billowing smoke in the bush
water bombing dowsing the flames, timber stands charred
water bombing dowsing the flames, timber stands charred
billowing smoke in the bush, timber stands charred
again a visitation is made, water bombing dowsing the flames

soot black tones cover the mountains, summer fires fierce
soot black tones cover the mountains, summer fires fierce
respite not at hand, e'er the blazes keep searing
respite not at hand, e'er the blazes keep searing
respite not at hand, summer fires fierce
soot black tones cover the mountains, e'er the blazes keep searing

an ongoing trail of embers and flares, scarring the terrain
an ongoing trail of embers and flares, scarring the terrain
smouldering ashes left behind, destroying all in their path
smouldering ashes left behind, destroying all in their path
an ongoing trail of embers and flares, destroying all in their path
smouldering ashes left behind, scarring the terrain

summer fires fierce, scarring the terrain
an ongoing trail of embers and flares, e'er the blazes keep searing
respite not at hand, again a visitation is made
soot black tones cover the mountains, destroying all in their path
billowing smoke in the bush, timber stands charred
water bombing dowsing the flames, smouldering ashes left behind

Once the aggravation is rubbed out
There will be celebrations all about
Democrats holding sway for far too long
The house needing less of these most pesky weeds
They've certainly been a batch of crooked seeds
The Senate and Congress swept clean of trash
Washington having a good riddance bash
Old faces given a last farewell gong
Voting for the elephants is so good
Sprucing up the Capital's neighborhood
Mid term elections start the ball rolling
Americans restoring some order
Taking out the donkey's mass disorder
Will it not be cause for much extolling

this year the imported ponies
are the ones to beat
as they've got more staying power
in their feet

long distance racing
suits their genetic makeup
over a mile they'll
keep firing up

our horses are sprinters
who can dash
but that style of racing
shall ne'er win the cash

e'er she is where he is, this is their mode of operation
e'er she is where he is, this is their mode of operation
such an oddity it seems, might it be a coincidence
such an oddity it seems, might it be a coincidence
this is their mode of operation, such an oddity is seems
might it be a coincidence, e'er she is where he is

the clock can be set, on their meeting point
the clock can be set, on their meeting point
it's a regular event, what a caper they cut
it's a regular event, what a caper they cut
what a caper they cut, the clock can be set
on their meeting point, it's a regular event

the odds are very good, they'll be hooking up
the odds are very good, they'll be hooking up
bingo what do you know, they're at it again
bingo what do you know, they're at it again
bingo what do you know, the odds are very good
they'll be hooking up, they're at it again

it's a regular event, might it be a coincidence
the clock can be set, they're at it again
such an oddity it seems, what a caper they cut
e'er she is where he is, on their meeting point

bingo what do you know, the odds are very good

time has come for dear Hillary
to exit the political stage
her past performances
haven't been well scripted or sage

Americans won't mind at all
if she stays at home with philandering Bill
so she can keep his ever wandering eye
nice and still

Washington needs a true
star contender for a Prez
Hillary is too old to be wearing
the chief's influential fez

most unsuccessful was
her candidature in 2008
Democrats didn't want her
as their first mate

cameo appearances seem to be
more fitting for Hillary
so the American media can give her
a jolly good pillory

the oval office needs no more
corruption lying or deceit
obviating Hillary from the scene
shall be ever so neat

a new career opportunity
has come Tom's way
and it shall pay him well
for many a day

some have said he's left
his run too late
but this vocation is of
the right time and date

you may ask what Tom
is going to pursue
if you hang around for a minute
I shall tell you

his tennis coach says
he's got potential
to become an older player
with fine credentials

Tom sharping
his ball tossing skills
and doing a lot of baseline
and net drills

he's been working
on his serving technique
so too on backhand shots
which are so oblique

the over fifties
singles title is his aim
which he hopes to win
with great acclaim

his coach reckons
he perform well in the competition
as he has the right attitude
and volition

Tom's entered tournaments
here and overseas
the ones on grass courts
he'll take out with ease

he's confident the tennis circuit
is where he belongs
his first match will take place
in Hong Kong

Tom has signed
a sponsorship deal with Wilson
all of their racquets
and tennis equipment he proudly don

Tony Roche has offered him
his valuable support
as he embarks on his tour
of world tennis courts

from the first day
I saw him
I've had him
on my mind
he stays ever
affixed
in its encasing
rind

yet his attentions
are focused
on those appealing ladies
he wants nothing
to do
with an ordinary Sadie

I dream of us
being together
but there will never be
a tether
he's wrapped and bound
in all other
enticing heather

though he not know
of how I feel for him
I'll endlessly keep
thinking of him

were there to be a change
in his heart's tide
on that day he'd notice
my lovable side

emblazoned
in letters large
none could miss the huge advertizement
the insignia
had much self aggrandizement

the cap did well accord
with the egotistical *****
who wore it
big on being full of himself
such importance

it is no stretch of the imagination
his beret did fit him comfortably
upon his overly inflated crown
it sat perfectly

this Christmas the shoppers
are all buying up
due to the economy
having a slight pick up

stores are finding it hard
to service demand
as shoppers have a few
spare dollars in hand

healthier trade is happening
all over the place
smiles can be seen on
many a store owner's face

toys and barbeques
are selling like hotcakes
so too socks teddy bears
and garden rakes

this Yule Tide Season
is very much improved
as there is a lot of merchandize
getting moved

last year the economy
was in a down kind of rend
and people couldn't afford
to spend spend spend

hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

I've a million things
I want to say to you
I've a whole lifetime
to spend loving you

I've been waiting for you
forever so long
now that I've found you
my heart is full of song

my gift of love
for you I declare
its fond endowment
we'll always share

hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

as poets are an eclectic crew
they write their poems
with variable word brews

some like the standard mix
of adjectives and verbs
whilst others have a penchant
for more exotic herbs

divulging my unique verse brew
I shall not do
as a bush bard keeps
all of her own clues

an assortment of styles
are brewed in the world of poetry
which makes for a distinguishing
panoply

she was wilder
than a storm on a summer eve
she was wilder
than a choppy southern sea

she was a wild wild woman
wild was she

he could never tame her
no matter how hard he tried
she wasn't going to be
no placid glide

she was a wild wild woman
wild was she

his life was never bland
with her around
she was the wildest woman
on the north side of town

she was wilder
than a surging river's flow
she was wilder
than a Texas rodeo

she was a wild wild woman
wild was she
she was a wild wild woman
wild was she

intimate touch of skin
embrace furnace like
therein aromas rise up from other
****** by a bonfire
of ****** cover
seething with lust
now filled the brain
urged by a primal
potent hot flame
verve so atomic
generates burning
centrifuge passion
each minute turning
o'er two as one
hot bodies merge
melting as sun
movement from muscles
embers so tight
frantic the action
the friction
a delight
the apex aloft
wells on climatic mountain
volcanic explosion
lava flows as a fountain
an age old credo
by lust pure unfurled
lived of by lovers
all over the world
mentally turning
thoughts of raw passion
physical
thermal
conductive
this
action

the Australian Labor Party
is in mourning to-day
the great left wing union
in the sky
called Gough away
he was a leviathan
of Australian politics
in the seventies
many social issues
he championed
on the parliament's floor
with Rex Connors and Dr Jim Cairns
his biggest bone of contention
was Sir John Kerr
he sunk Gough's money supply
with Malcolm Frazer
looking on from the side
to-day there is a dark pall
cast over the Labor Party
as it says farewell
to Gough
men and women
of
Australia
will
never
see
his
likes
again

the Republican Party
have the best candidate
to run for President
on that November date

patriotic and loyal
are her glowing attributes
she'll competently lead America
with great repute

her grasp on foreign policy
is second to none
she's got a domestic agenda
which is number one

Americans will be served well
under her stewardship
they'll have an excellent person
steering the ship

the White House needs
a woman of her grace
she'll bring fresh air
to the legislative space

ballots will not be wasted
on this lady's latitude
all fifty states must vote
for her rectitude

she'll uphold the constitution
of the USA
as the forefathers meant it
to be this way

Condoleezza Rice has all
the credentials that are required
and she'll be a President
who will be admired

breathe love
into my veins
cold and forgotten
these caverns of bane
breath love into my veins
stir them to life
with your tepid
refrains

withered
all the oxygen
hath expired
come revive
them again
to existence

breathe love
resurrect
redeem
my veins
in the body of your
loving strains
