Poets in a Pickle?
Salt and vinager
the sensation
Page worms
never want
to be in a pickle!
Please resist
the temptation
to put
yourself out
hung up and fickle
Stay crisp and salty
keep your attitude
but for the sake of pity
decency
and everything pretty
Firmly stay cool
organically
cucumber
With a generous
heaping pinch
of crunchy pith
Mmmm!
Why did the pickle ...

Awakening
I feel like I am waking from a long held slumber
Moving my limbs, beginning to lumber
Breathing deep into my lungs a new breath of fresh air
Shaking away the numbness that had all gathered there
Slowing raising my consciousness from its comfortable nest
Rubbing my eyes of sleepiness so as to perform my best
In front of this crowded room that has seemed to appear
With spectators looking on from both far and near
Time to dust off this brain to come up with ideas
For a monthlong competition, without complications or fears
Rise up and put your pen...
Moving my limbs, beginning to lumber
Breathing deep into my lungs a new breath of fresh air
Shaking away the numbness that had all gathered there
Slowing raising my consciousness from its comfortable nest
Rubbing my eyes of sleepiness so as to perform my best
In front of this crowded room that has seemed to appear
With spectators looking on from both far and near
Time to dust off this brain to come up with ideas
For a monthlong competition, without complications or fears
Rise up and put your pen...

Funny thing, a window-
Funny thing, a window-
The gate between thought
and feeling;
To see a life that could
be lived-
Wandering, unaware of its
being.
To be on the outside
dwelling in,
Is no less than an honest
sin.
I fear the cold,
I fear the rain;
But most of all,
I fear to never know pain.
The gate between thought
and feeling;
To see a life that could
be lived-
Wandering, unaware of its
being.
To be on the outside
dwelling in,
Is no less than an honest
sin.
I fear the cold,
I fear the rain;
But most of all,
I fear to never know pain.

TRAP BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
From where it came from for we are only told what the media wants us to know about its location, but not about how many have been already infected nor the person, just because of the powers that be, for dont we need to know as human beings ??? For truly dont we need to know where from it started from this cycle of death and destruction, but yet it remains an mystery like an secret only those that need to know sounds like an uncover up but yet it makes you wonder and ponder your own inner thoughts and feelings, and your common sense from the depth of your own mind deep as in each of our own...

The Chase...
I chase ideas, I chase my dreams through
the halls of fantasy, the halls of wonder
and the halls of escape. But, they elude me
and tumble down to words on a page.
The words turn on me asking why do
I write? How do I dare steal thoughts and
express them in words when they were gifts
for me and me alone. I have no defense.
I’m addicted, if I don’t write, I’ll withdraw.
If I withdraw the chase will end, the gifts
will dry up. Thus, I must remain addicted.
I must continue allowing these gifts to be
conscripted by words on a page. ...

"They Are” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 11/10/2013
They Are " … My Best Friends … !!!!!
They Blend and Transcend ...
Beyond The Nonsense That Inspires Them … !!!
They DO NOT Defend Acts of Ignorance … !!!
But Are My Defence When Facing Problems … !!!!!
So They Are Never Far From My Mind Or My Heart ...
Because They Bear SCARS From My Future And Past …
Sometimes They Are DARK ...
And Choose To Impart ...
Visions of PAIN That Rest In My Brain …
Some Claim They're INSANE … !!!
Because of The Way They Are When ENRAGED … !!!!

THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES
Here we are going through this situation, yet it seems like there is no end in sight of things changing for the better. For we have become prisoners in our own homes, even gotten to the point of view we have become so afraid to touch or speak to one another, because of this unknown attack on human life. That most have become so destine in the past days that have come and gone, for where did this virus come from that has crippled the world within days of the outbreak, killing countless people all across the globe young and old dying before there time upon this earth. For is this a curse force...

DUP MODERATORS CAN FAKE YOUR FORUM QUOTES
Did you realize that comments in Forums can be manipulated by Moderators? A Moderator can create a “quote” box that shows you making a quote that you never made! This is (at the least) unethical, it constitutes LIBEL (landmark case of Masson vs. New Yorker Magazine) and diminishes the credibility of the site and its management! I was the victim of such stupidity and, when I posted a request to the Moderators to have the practice removed, that request was ignored! IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! This warning will no doubt be removed by Moderators, as will the original issue I’ve addressed here. I...

And when it‘s all said and done

Please listen while reading and as always thanks for looking xo
I wish for you many full moons
that sit perched just above your brow
daring you to explore
you know how
look deep inside
and you will find
the meaning
of the rest of your life
we had a good run
You & I
love laughter and patience
run to the destiny
that belongs to you
time is passing by
don’t keep it...

Safe Haven
Sunk in the paper
"as if I was ink"
It's where I submerge my soul
when I can no longer think
so clearly,
where I can take time to
transcend mind
and fully unwind,
sit and be
with myself
as I unveil
and release the ruckus within
and I return here regularly
but the words sometimes
don't flow so flawlessly
and the end result can appear
not so exceptional
but perhaps one isn't meant to
produce "perfection" with every
creation/piece
all the time
as if perpetually in ones prime.

O, Song of Songs, What Art Thou Saying?
As the song's waves reach my ears,
I have been brought to more tears
Than ever, in all of my twenty-three years!
A song of such beauty, must surely be about love,
For someone, something, a place, or god(s) above!
I know not what,
But I know my ears, it does flood,
Every powerful, peaceful, lovely, spiritual, seeming word,
Of pure, innocent, spiritually peaceful, love for something in this world.
If only to be loved mind to mind, and heart to heart, as intensely as this song is sung,
And for words with such intense innocent love, to just as...
