    Invitation

    My skin hurts. It feels like they're ripping it off my bones—sliver by sliver. I can't scream anymore. My voice left me an hour after they started. They said that once it's done, I'll be a changed person. Yeah,...

      Damian

      • Thank you, Damian, most gratefully for the encouraging kudos,

        I hope your holidays have been filled with joy and laughter.
        Yes, Trump is quite the iniquitous bump.

        You’re appreciated, too, M’Friend! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • Hoi @Rascal
      Light verse has a very very special place in the hearts of the Dutch.
      There was a time, Some 40 years ago, that I met THE promotor of Dutch higgeldy piggeldies/olleke bollekes every first Tuesday of the month.

      So i must have written hundreds of them. Most of them as part of lyrics for songs, almost all of them in Dutch.
      And a few in English. One I remember where ‘sustainabiliy’ was the key word. But looking for this one is impossible.

      The very long and very impressive artistic life of Carole king, began with ‘O Neil’. An answersong to O Carol by Neil Sedaka.
      With that in mind I decided to write an olleke bolleke to you. An answer song or thereabouts.

      I
      Donald Trump wat is dat
      Nog niet genoeg gehad
      Tijd voor wat vrije tijd
      Dat komt goed uit

      II
      Wordt geen misdaad geschuwd
      Naar de afgrond geduwd
      Wanneer is het genoeg
      B’donder de kluit

      What I like about it, is that it’s full of letters/pronounciations the English language doesn’t have.
      I love your poem to pieces. Thank you for posting!
      Kind regards, Gus

      • Greetings, Gus 🌿

        I’ve written a few Higgledy Piggledy pieces, finding them enormously entertaining to compose, if a bit fairly challenging … which I always enjoy, too!

        I
        Donald Trump, what is that?
        Haven’t had enough yet?
        Time for some free time
        That works out well

        II
        No crime is spared
        Pushed to the brink of the abyss
        When is enough enough?
        Damn the whole lot

        Yeah! When pronounced, comparing my English version with your Dutch version, I see what you mean by the fuller experience, and I completely agree.

        “Trump’s Bloody Stump” (in Dutch)

        Rommelig en chaotisch…
        onze oranje man, Donald Trump,
        trapt in zijn eigen valkuil
        met bizarre poses.

        Hij bijt zich vast in zijn eigen enkel
        terwijl hij onbegrijpelijk
        en dwaas
        gekke uitspraken doet.

        Ha-HAH! Poetry is such an endless smorgasbord of creative delight!
        Thanks, Gus, for sharing some of it with me! ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • Love the comically playfulness of the write.

      • Many thanks, Dear Fia, for dropping by for a read 🤓

        I’m so glad I’ve tickled your funny bone, and am truly grateful that you love anything about my poetry!

        “Happy Holidays, Dear Poetess!” ⁓ Rascal🍷

    • Delightful piece in every way.Quite the opposite of the orange buffoon.
      His ascent to POTUS surely must put to bed the notion of an all caring,all loving,all knowing God.
      🙏

      • Salutations, Peter ✨

        The most basic sensibilities would struggle to disagree with your well founded sentiments of our orange tinted Potus, Syr Poet … he’s emphatically that depraved!

        Thanks bushels for reading and your much appreciated compliment! ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • Digging the ethereal feeling in this. Hope you’re doing well sir.
      Nicely penned.

    • The poems are starting to appear in my brain jar again Wally

      She gives me a lot to write about…

      Stay tuned Wally

      Hope all is good on your side !!

    • hello dearest Poet you are so sexy when you are being beautiful it’s great to see you ❤️

    • I don’t come here often Brenda but once in awhile a poem will come to me and I pen it. Sometimes I get excited that I actually wrote something again. On DUP they came fast and furious but now I have to wait for the magic to appear.

      Appreciate your comment Brenda.
      You’re so sweet
      Thanks

      ❤️

    • Beautifully penned, Speak. Excellent write my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • The desire to write happens occasionally now and I’m grateful for it ..

      Thx D

    • Listen to the messages. Keep writing. I enjoy it

    • Would’ve loved some of your artwork along with this piece, we’re all missing boxhead. Tight

    • Yeah, boxhead needs to get it together.
      They’re comfortably numb and living the good life while their Master is working hard …

      Thx Me

      Stay tuned

    • Dear PS,

      I feel ya on the process of writing since DU. I enjoyed this romantic side and ride. So glad your muse has spoken.
      H🌷

      • Dear H,

        It’s just a change of scenery and site but somehow it didn’t translate like that.
        At DUP my mind was always ablaze but here it’s a tug and pull.
        Still I try
        When the notion comes I write it fast and edit later ….

        So nice to see you H

        I hope you’re well !!

    History Hates Lovers

    They say,is the history we learn fully true?What did they call eachother,through and through?And historical books say friends,buddies. And whatnot.While the true term slowly fade and rot.Friends,sidekicks or even your own bloodline. But maybe if we look closer in the little...
