the story of the Colossus
is epic in dimension and size
to narrate it would require
an endless sunrise

enamored with his poetic skills
we all most certainly are
his radiant abilities shine
brighter than the evening star

the page comes to life
as we so attentively read
his phrases and figures of speech
are of the finest creed

the awesomeness
of his poetry doth so inspire  
with a wordage pool
that sets our hearts on fire

his quill's ink ne'er partakes of rest
for there is much he hath need to say
at his desk he labors on a stanza
to so sublimely and excellently array

marvelous, exemplary, outstanding
all of these superlatives and more
tells us of the rare prowess and style
the Colossus hath in spades galore

a germ has infected
the Hello Poetry site
it is much worse
than a mosquito's bite

fast spreading
is its very nasty spores
in the layers of dermis
one sees its grubby paws

quarantining the place
is a massive task
as the germ has escaped
from its insecure flask

precautions must be taken
by all members here
remember to pop on
your safety gear

you'll all be wanting
to be informed of scourge
which at this site
has been having a splurge

the plagiarizing bug
is omnipresent be forewarned
and those who've been at it
should be well scorned

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

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

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

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

the sport of cricket
is no longer a clean game
bribes and corruption
have dowsed it in shame

***** money has walked
onto the cricket pitch
and it does so give
the sporting pundits a severe stitch

ball tampering by the players
and umpires being paid off
these disrespectful actions
causing cricket lovers to fulsomely scoff

the game of cricket has been
so badly sullied over the past few years
and it does so make the fans
feel less incline to cheer

cricket has a grubby tarnish
upon it these days
the ICC should be disinfecting
the game's wicked ways

devotees of cricket are not
a happy lot
they are waiting for the wicket
to be cleansed of all the ***** rot

hammer me
hammer me
hammer me to the ground
hammer me
hammer me
with your hard hitting pound
hammer me
hammer me
hammer till I cry
hammer me
hammer me
blacken both my eyes
hammer me
hammer me
break my jaw with your clenched fists
hammer me
hammer me
so my face contorts and twists
hammer me
hammer me
I so enjoy the bruising pain you dole out
hammer me
hammer me
with your forceful clout
hammer me
hammer me
so that I bleed most profuse
hammer me
hammer me
keep imparting your gross abuse
hammer me
hammer me
hammer me

when she'll find herself in court

every state in America

just to-day she posted

put her in the right legal position

there are gloomy skies
o'er the valley
low clouds gather
for a wet rally

by the hour clouds
become darker in shade
at any moment
they'll pour and cascade

rain will course
down the valley folds
imbuing the land
with it's moistening soul

a refreshing drink
the valley plants shall receive
an invigorating dampness
will touch the grasses and leaves

rain will settle
on the ground there
whereby they'll be
a cleansed feel to the air

rain is ensuing
the clouds stand in readiness
to send down their
soaking lade

we're going to speak
the language of love
all through the night

we're going to speak
the language of love
in the morning light

it'll be so fine
talking in that familiar lingo
we'll speak it
like a pair of intimate amigos

the language of love
the language of love

our tongues meeting and meshing
in a steamy dialogue
sharing the warm feeling
of a special monologue

we're going to speak
the language of love
all through the night

we're going to speak
the language of love
in the morning light

come on baby
let's commence
our love discussions
there is much
for you and I
to ****** percussion

the language of love
the language of love

is so powerful
in the message
it communicates
and its linguistics
so highly rate

we're going to speak
the language of love
also
eagerly

neither could totally renounce
the feelings they shared
the tie between them
made in childhood days
it held a cohesive twine

on separate journeys
they did travel
until their mid years
yet they hankered for
each others company  
the bond between them
ne'er came untangled

perchance their destines
bought them together again
whereupon they rekindled
and renewed their lasting flame

sweethearts at childhood
sweethearts they'd ever be
the sweetheart link
they shared was of
a perennial deed

to foresee a massive catastrophe
catastrophe and its associated calamity
calamity destruction and vast devastation
devastation in a massive catastrophe

the seas swelling to magnitude great
great their height of mountainous proportions
proportions which are awesome to espy
espy the magnitude of the seas

volcanoes erupting spewing forth much lava
lava flows uncontrollably over the lands
lands burning in the lava fire which doesn't subside
subside the fire will not

buildings in cities and rural locales shaking
shaking and rattling tectonic plates impacting
impacting on man's planet, tremors felt far and wide
wide the expanse of the Earth's shaking

men, women and children affected by the catastrophe
catastrophe foretold in ancient text
text which we've perused from time to time
time to refresh our modern day minds

man can't circumvent the immensity which shall unfold
unfold the catastrophe shall to our sight
sight the calamity and its associated ruin
ruin which is foreseen in ancient text

how do you acquire
a good man
one who'll fill you
with much elan

where is this kind of man
one asks
does he secret
behind a mask

seeking his loving
is my endless quest
I'll be at his most
amorous behest

he's out there
for me to claim
he'll be very happy
to discover this dame

whence our paths
do finally converge
they'll be an ardent
rapturous love surge

capitulation is on the English sides mind
their brand of cricket has been of an awful kind
this ashes series our Australian team blew them away
as they had a very stylish form of play

the bowling and batting of the Australian team
has wrecked the English lads winning dream
our lads didn't put a foot wrong on the wicket
they were a class act at playing the game of cricket

the last match in the series is on to-day
and the Australians will most certainly be making hay
at this stage they've got the English struggling
they've not got enough fire power in their batting

after the lunch break we'll have the English all out
they'll be wearing the odd ****** pout
they've not prepared well in any facet of the game
which has been a terrible shame

the annals of cricket shall record England's loss
and speak glowingly of the Australian teams gloss
the 2013-2014 ashes series a series of capitulation
where the English didn't play well against our nation

yet again the sound
of guns fire
they fire in fits of ire
the guns aren't silenced  
of their tragic sound
the guns issue
volley on volley of rounds
we hear them from afar
we hear them at close range
they're firing across
the Ukraine
they're firing in Iraq
yet again
the guns shall keep firing
to the regret of us all
the guns seemingly
can't be forestalled

an amnesia
has taken over the brains
of the firing men
when will they from
the gun abstain

suddenly the world is plentiful
suddenly the world looks wonderful
suddenly the world sings with delight
suddenly the world has skies so bright

it's all because we've found
love my dear
and our love
shall ever endear

in divine devotion
our hearts shall beat
with an accord
which is so sweet

suddenly the world has a closeness
suddenly the world is a wealth of happiness
suddenly the world dances in perfect time
suddenly the world bears a joyous chime

forever our love
shall stay
in each moment
of everyday

darling our love
twas destine
and we'll combine
in a beautiful twine

suddenly the world speaks of our adoration
suddenly the world voices its elation

the locale on the horizon
did snare his eye
so he ventured there
to give it a try

the crowd applauded
his every action
on them he made
a profound impaction

his conquest of the terrain
was monumental in scale
his venture to other region
netted him a huge bale

through the territory
he blazed a trail of magnificence
these days he's the toast
of all those who pursue his golden opulence

Mr Monsanto has a monopoly on the GMO market
his products fill many agriculturist's baskets
there harmful affects have been well documented
the damage they're causing can be circumvented

those men and women who work the land
can deal Mr Monsanto a crook poker hand
discontinue buying his bad chemical sprays
recommence those old pest controlling ways

he's been making big profits from the stuff that he sells
it is time for the agriculturists to hear the alarm bells
he's had the ear of the administration for too long
and it has always listened to the pitch of his song

Mr Monsanto keeps telling the world that his products are fab
but he never mentions a thing about adverse discoveries in science labs
the people are becoming informed on the land
they're waking up to the unsafeness of his brand

the public will not abide Mr Monsanto's crap
they know when a dodgy product has landed in their laps
cancer causing agents in cornmeal
this sort of thing doesn't make for edible appeal

big companies like Mr Monsanto might like to explain themselves
and enlighten us as to why his purulent stuff is on market shelves
behind his fortress walls he hides a folio of dross
uncovering it would ensure his company ran at a loss

it's been a tough day
in the writing office to-day
not many imaginative ideas
journeyed my way

the dullness of my quill
hath failed to capture a thing
seemingly for to-day
there will be no poetry offering

when the time is right
a poem will be written
but at this point of time
my quill isn't with a verse smitten

one awaits the muse's return
with much expectation
then one will feel less
in a state of deflation

love is around the corner
it's waiting for you
when it takes hold
it'll surprise you

there will be joy in every part of your heart
as Cupid fires his loving dart
there will be armor pouring so sublimely
you'll be awash in its gleeful spree

love is around the corner
it's waiting for you
when it takes hold
it'll surprise you

take a walk out on the street to-day
and a sweet partner shall amble your way
those long held dreams of love becoming a reality
all this and more in your neighborhood locality

love is around the corner
it's waiting for you
when it takes hold
it'll surprise you

don't hesitate nor procrastinate
finding love's many wonders shall satiate
twill be the makings of a splendid bright hue
as love kindles its sparkle within you

love is around the corner
it's waiting for you
when it takes hold
it'll surprise you

dusk descends upon the Oz landscape
the sun slowly reclines westward
cattle and sheep make for nightly camps
the faint sounds of birds are heard
gum trees cast last shadows
o'er the land a hush
it's settling time
day closes
then to
night
''''''''''''''''
stars
aplenty
fill the sky
the scent of earth
flows on the soft breeze
so calming the night hours
the country is serene and still
how fortunate we are to live here
in a place which is like paradise
as the moon sails across the bushland skies
