    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🖌

  • Scapular

    You wouldn’t think lonelinesscould breathe between our warm bodies,not when we lie naked togetherclose enough to feel each others breath. But it can.And sometimes, it does.I lie beside you,listening for your soft drift into sleep,hoping,almost praying,that your hand will wander,and...
