2. Wild Card

I told him to tell me the truth,
but the truth was never told.
No, not by a mouth full with lies.
Those lies that fed his spirit,
every day and every night.
I told him to chew them slow.
To take them bite by bite
until he could swallow them down.
And hopefully, he could digest them.
to later, when his body rid of them
He could see and smell the sh**t in them.

3. Category : Life

When I was five,
my uncle sat my cousins and me near a table.
He made us sit in a circle.
And he talked...
and talked...
And then he pretended to teach us.

He wanted to teach us.

He said:

"Repeat after me,
F***, MOTHERF****R, F****R, B****"

And I,
I swear, when I got home,
I washed my mouth with soap
And I cried nonstop.
Because after I opted to fail
the class,

I cursed him in my mind.

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

He thought that if he wrote sonnets,

Acrostic

Perhaps I will sleep
Like a dead person
Or maybe I will
Pop some pills and stay awake

Australian's are funny
critters I've found!
We have long necks,
stubbies and Midis
and all relate to beer.

My postal address
has ten lines
in it but
I don't think I can
give it out here
not that anyone
would want it
for sure
but..I just thought
I'd share to fill up the lines.

# 8

Like the blonde
that I portray
Although I'm a fake
if I'm being honest
I keep forgetting
to number my poems!

# 1

Three little crows
were sitting in a row
high upon a wire
looking down on a fire
that was out of control
so the flew to the north pole
where they grew old and cold.

#2

'neath the singing tree
enchanting melodies drift
snowdrops charmed awake.

#3

I sometimes ponder
the meaning of this word.

I mean...there are so
many saying that
are attached to it
that it makes pondering
the word
a full time
occupation.

I was Standing Outside
The Fire one day
when we decided
to put some poems
of ours together
and publish a book called
strangely enough
"Standing Outside The Fire".

* This is a club I was a member of but, sadly , it no longer exists.

Acrostic

I forgot to do this one
Damn it
I stuffed up the sequence
Oh s***
Think I can fix it!

# 6

I used to wonder
what was in that
lovely golden
box called a tabernacle
and why the priest's
cheeks were all of a sudden flushed
...then I smelt wine for the first time!

Well...
here we are again possums
so...what can I share with you
this time?

Did you know that
when you dial up
Australian for
another country
you have to
dial 15
digits.

#8

I was like
a spring that
was strung
when I was young
now I'm all out of zest
and needing a rest.

#1 NEW PROMPTS FOLKS!!!

I missed the train
and it was raining
cats and dogs
that day I remember.

My umbrella blew
inside out
and there you were
water plastering
you curly hair
to your head
and...
having a soft spot
for droopy hair
and soulful eyes
I fell in love...

#2

Sunlight fades to shades of grey
in mourning for a while
an angel was called home today
heaven welcomed her with a smile.

The moon then lost its brightness
stars they shone no more
tides turned and left for good
no desire to meet the shore.

Angel wings upon the breeze
caress a cheek where tears do lie
whispering oh so softly
a farewell lullaby

#3

Little Price George
what a dear
came to visit
and made it clear
he might be a future king
but he was just doing his thing
as baby's do he
stole a toy
made a little girl cry
just like
Georgy Porgy Pudding and pie.

#4

The first time
I got a whiff of
blue cheese
it reminded me of
my brother's
very smelly feet
and...I could not eat it.

#5
(Senyru)

When I hold the pen,
someone pokes me on facebook;
twitter, insta-sleep.

#6
(Senyru)

Zionists, Nazists
Both are terrorists, whether
you like it, or not

#7

She bought her child the shirt
he saw at the store yesterday.
He looked like an angel,
and an angel he became.
As he went outside this morning
to celebrate in his shirt this holy day,
Israel thought he was a terrorist
and dropped a bomb on him.

#8

There are no roads to walk,
they're filled with skulls.
No shores to stroll,
they're planted with soldiers.
No beds, no streets,
no skies to make love in.
They have confiscated our souls
and stole away everything.

1.

Rain mixed with a hint of fog
adorned my pathway to
a journey I longed for..
the train station was
waiting to transport
me to you.
All I knew was beauty
and this scene was
perfect, our love
was picturesque.

2.

I've heard of heaven,
hell, and St. Peter
as a greeter.

All the while I ponder
as I nestle in a tree
on the east side of nowhere.

I'd rather just be-
having my soul reincarnated
into something far more beautiful

than the picture society created for us
to see....

3.

He was born at the end
of the sixties, the heir
to my heart-
our royal betrothal
was lost in the breezes
of insanity-
But we found the sword
in a rock, on a hill
and together we are
king and queen.

4.

My first kiss
tasted like blood and carbon.
It was between the rubble
of my girlfriend's house.
I've never tasted her lips
before, and when I did,
I lost faith in love.

5.
(Senyru)

University
kills my creativity
I want to think free

6.
(Acrostic)

It is a holy land,
Don't let any Palestinian alive!
Follow us, world, follow us blind !

7._ Must Mention a Piece of Clothing

Loosen blouse and tight jeans,
She walked over a wooden bridge wearing heels,
While dews reflected her silhouette,
on dry leaves.

8._ category: Love

Love, be my purse,
and carry all my money!
yet let be the one
who actually spends it,

or not.

1. Include a type of transport(car, train, etc) and mention the weather.

In the lake near where the train tracks are laid,
was found a dead body, or at least,
the spectators watching the policeman
inspecting the crime scene, thought.

Though too hot was the weather,
that everyone seemed to be hallucinating.

2._ Must have 3 verses ( at least 3 lines each)

the man in the corner talked to himself,
he followed me to a bench but
He kept his distance to continue talking to himself.

He stared at a window from an office.
He continued talking to himself.
He just talked and greeted no one but himself.

Until he finally stopped talking and left.
Then I started to talked to no one but myself
just wondering why that man was talking to himself.

3. Must mention royalty in some way (crown, heir, king, prince etc)

I'm not a queen, nor a princess.
I'm not a peasant nor a slave.
I'm simply me.

4._

The first time that I remembered my first time at school,
wasn't the first time that I was at school...
but actually, it was the first time that I started to think
about the first time I went to school.

5._

opened notebook on the desk,
a pen falls to the carpet
just as the strength on her eyelids.
Her fingers hang from a chair,
her cheek rests in books
Until she awakes.

6._ Tanka

Soaring in circles
hawks after a cute puppy
snatching him alive
freeing him into a nest
where even the hot sun bites
