THE CLUB - #1

5. Formed (Acrostic)

Know this:
No matter what's going on, it's never
Okay to
Call them
Knockers.
Except if coming from a
Righteous
Saucy source like me.

6. Alcohol/drugs

There are few things more beautiful
than the drunk-like smile that plays at the ends
of a mother's lips as she watches her baby
nourishing itself through her body,
grunting with its purpose.

7. 10-13 lines

In India, breasts
are tucked behind
the swathe of a sari,
the folds of a dupatta,
the loose drape
of a printed kameez,
revealing their presence
only when the monsoonal wind
blows its hot, heavy breath
against them.

8. Simile

The beach means boobies, boobies, boobies.
Slung into tiny triangles,
they swing low to pick up the sunscreen
that is then applied like a polish.

1. Animal and number

Firm and full of power,
cleaved into two gleaming mounds,
they rise from blouses, dresses, labcoats,
and anchor a gaze in a foolish man's eyes,
cause rise in his shorts, trousers, armour,
then unseat his heart.

2. Wild (in response to Nicko's #10)

There once was a lady called Abby
Whose tits were FAAAR from flabby,
She met up with Nick,
Still thought him a dick,
Especially because he was grabby.

3) Life

I'm as blind as a bat these days
And hairs growing out my ears
Like bean sprouts
Can nearly knot them with the ones out my nose
What's falling off next

4) Must include the words of a club name on this site. Yes, you can use the same club twice

There was an old sailor from FOP named Frank
Who was asked politely to walk the plank
I can't I can't he cried
I've just married myself a new bride
He was given the option to have a good wank

5) Formed poem (excluding haiku/senryu)

Acrostic Pumpkin

Pumpkin soup
Unbelievably nice
Masses of sweet potato
Pinch of salt
Kick arse curry
Into the pot
Napkin please

6) Drugs or Alcohol

I love to have a beer with Duncan
I love to have a beer with Steven
I love to have a beer with Phillip
I'd love to have a beer with Jake
But I'll never have a beer with ddavidd
Cause ddavaidd's not me mate

7) 10 to 13 lines

Ashburton
A sleepy little country town
Halfway between nowhere
To service the farmers
As rural as it gets
Quarter acre manicured lawns
Mavis knows Mabel
Gladys knows Silvia
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody knows everything
Thank god I shifted
I would have died there

8) Must include a metaphor or simile

Where does Buddhism sit on the this tree
Peaceful encompassing
It's what all others are not
Its created no wars
Its about mutual and self respect
It doesn't criticize other religions
In fact Buddhists don't believe
They are of the world
The world is there stage

New prompts! Might I suggest a new thread for each new set of prompts? This is getting crazy.

1) ONE animal & ONE number

California Condor

Not the peacock to your hen, m'lady,
but I dare say, I glide on clouds graceful
as any ruffled swan with two far-beating wings.
Over canyons and vast deserts, I soar;
an ebony nightmare with ivory plume,
but dare not come too close, m'lady.
I would not scare thee with red, bloated head.

2) Wild Card

Mercurial

Facetious, flippant, frivolous.
I've been called worse by friend than foe,
though Tybalt said his share.

3) Life

it's so short, over in the blink of an eye
I try and make each day last longer and longer
I stay up late
Wake up at the crack of dawn
And do something in the middle
But still it races by
GOD dam it
SLOW down...

Edit.

4) club name

The Club god we're good
No we're better than that
We are the best
We rule this site and have for years
Others my question this but they know, they know it's true
We are the zest the cool club ...

5. Formed poem (excluding haiku/senryu

The club
Has stood the test of time
Exceeded my expectations

Clubs have come and gone
Little and big
Unable to survive
But still we remain the club

6. Alcohol

Beer in hand
Touched to my lips
I took a swig
Coursing down my throat
Cooled my heart
Cooled my soul
Cooled my relationship
Killed my love
Destroyed my life
Beer in hand
Touched to my lips

7. 10-13 lines

August is half over
Thank god spring will soon be here
That's why I brought blood and bone
For my strawberries see
It's time to plant out
Fertiliser first mound the dirt
Divide the plants
Then stick them
In the ground
Lots of water
Lots of sun
Then heaven
Heaven for my daughter

8. Must include a metaphor or similie

Realisation hit me like hale on a stormy night
Like a brick in the head
I had toothache
And the time was 2.30
Time for the dentist

1. Must mention ONE animal AND ONE NUMBER

When the clock struck one,
the mouse ran down
and killed itself against the
swing of the pendulum.

2. Wild Card

You're crazy in a good way.
You know, you like to pull faces
and laugh like a hyena and
dress up in lycra, swinging your ass around.
You read trash and play guitar like a madman.
You are sick and twisted
and cool, basically.

3. category : Life

The candle burns low in the church,
its coin spent on a hope
the universe is swayed slightly
by its thermodynamic influence
over human pain.

4. Must include the words of a club name

Join The Club, they said.
You can swear freely and attack arguments
and sex it up and sink pirate ships
and look for each other forever, they said.
You will find beautiful poetry here
without ever writing a poem, they said.

5. Formed poem (excluding haiku/senryu)

Poetry
Often
Eludes
Me.

6. Alcohol or Drugs

Stuff the life in,
roll it up,
lick it shut,
suck it into your lungs,
leave nothing but smoke
and a fine dusting of ash
over everything.

7. 10-13 lines

Many people seek
to find themselves
in rivers that tell secrets,
or in the last dregs of tea,
by climbing a mountain or
sitting silently by themselves
holding their own hand
as a sign of solidarity
and a belief
they wish to hold.

8. Must include a metaphor or similie

The couple next door
are having an argument.
We hear their sounds rise
and fall and flutter like two
hearts beating hard with love.

1 - Must include an animal AND one number:

Those two finches no longer
warble on our windowsill.
Maybe the sniper
this morning mistook
them for new targets.

2 - Wild card.

Animal and a number

I'm always afraid of cats,
of their sudden flexiblity, their fake
loyalty, their mysteriousness, their
claws, their two-faced-ness,
of the way they march after you feed
them, raising their tails in the air,
arching their fat necks with
haughtiness.

3 - Category: Life

Life isn't so beautiful
when the only thing you could hear
all day
is the sound of your keys
hitting the table after you come home
alone

4 - Must include the words of a club name.

I'm musing
and the sea is unfolded in
front of me now.
Waves mirroring the glitter of moonlight,
throwing it to the shore, a star
by another.

5 - Formed poetry (excluding haiku/senryu)

Acrostic

We argue over who's dying more than the other
as hatred digs graves for both of us. May we
rest in peace. All of us.

6 - Alcohol or drugs

You can't help but
feel drunk when you walk
by those roofed markets, embracing
small taverns, along cobblestone pavements
that wrap old Damascus.

7 - 10-13 lines

I never remember our old house in silence.
There was always the sound of early newscast,
the sound of water gushing between olive trees,
the sound of our neighbors quarreling, then
making up. There was always the sound of dreams
hanging from the lintels, the sound of prayer
pouring from our souls. And the sound of fear,
sometimes, as policemen slammed doors.
And there was some laughter too. There was
always the delicate sound of your smile.

You were all of this music, and now
everything is hushed dead.

8 - Must include a metaphor or a simile

(haiku)

I am a thousand
acres of flat land, tedious,
barren and empty.

1. Must mention ONE animal AND ONE NUMBER

White tigers are the most beautiful
cats
That ever graced this world
They have what normal cats have
Beauty, loyalty to their cubs, and
deadly strikes
Only one shot at those majestic animals
Is all that I ask before I die

2 - Wild card

Winter kisses softly
Embracing my feverish heart
Donning on the mask of
love
In order to kill me in my sleep

3 - Category: Life

I drank myself to slumber last night
In order to forget my lost wife
She took our kids to the grave
That I'll never forgive
I never saw them again
and that's how this drinking problem
began
I put on makeup to hide the pale skin
That seems to be my color now
When I was tan before this tragedy began
