Since my favourite thread has apparently vanished in cyber-space, I've started a new thread by the same name. I'm assuming the thread got too big & therefore was problematic, so for all fans of the 8 Line Stanza thread here goes a new beginning...

When the sun rises & things awaken
Life in full flow - never mistaken
For things will flourish
While good will nourish
And bad will stain like mud on a window-pane
But the dirt will be removed by the coming of the rain
Sparkling & shimmering things look as good as new
While embarking on a voyage of discovery finding each new clue

While embarking on a voyage of discovery finding each new clue
Many a pof user finds great joy in discovering something new
Sometimes a door or window that's apparently vanished
In fact serves well to remind us we could always be banished
Fish are quick to adjust, elongate or shrink,
Adapt or die brings our environment to the brink
Of disaster, will it bounce back or just disappear?
The next world will welcome those who search and dare.

( No, it was deleted~ For Thorb~)
those who search and dare
always really care
and happiness wear
with lots of flare
they never stare
in the eye of despair
and love the bare
truth so rare

truth so rare,.. so hard to find
yet omnivorous, takes all kinds
the kind you think don't lie do
the kind you think do lie, always tell the trueth
alas a true love I ve finally found it!
had it all the time,.. I was lookin around it
came together now past
we both knew it wouldnt last

We both knew it wouldnt last
Slowly faded away
Black & white to shades of grey
Something old now outcast
Nothing lasts forever
Not on this mortal earth
But things may die then be re-born
A spiritual rebirth

A spiritual rebirth, arise from the gloom,
shut the door behind you when you leave the room.
I don’t want to hear you scurrying around,
rev up that car’s engine when its keys are found.

Get in and drive like hell from fear of crying,
if I said I loved you still, I’d be lying.
The ten-year gig was okay while it survived,
during the past few years our love was contrived.

our love was contrived
on a fourteen day rota
with time off in lieu
for bank holiday quota
what a surprise
you kept up your sleeve
behind that demise
the big Annual Leave

The big Annual Leave,
I’ll spend my time with Steve.
He’s a good friend of mine,
we’ll sit, talk and sip wine.

When the big leave is done,
we will have had some fun.
More than friends, we can’t be,
he’s not like you, to me.

He’s not like you, to me,
have our men been set free?
Thorb and Rasko aren’t here,
I find this a bit queer.

Knight is doing just fine,
did others cross the line?
Bring them back, I do plead,
testosterone we need!

testosterone we need
who has gone and done the deed
has thrown the balance out of whack
has throw this peace train off the track

the slap on the hand turns into the boot
the boot for the tougher, the slap for the cute
soon the threads will be woven by those in the harem
gone those rough edges, gone any who scare them

Gone those rough edges, gone any who scare them
For they won't suffer fools gladly - those who care for them
Will end up with fool's gold - nothing of use
No substance other than the illegal substance abuse
A smile & a pat on the backside but not anything real
The lotharios will do what it takes to cop a sly feel
But they'll lose out for when dishing the raw deal
They'll be reaping their own karma while victims will heal

here's a ripe one...lets thresh it..
and put it out to dry..do you think it will improve?
or claim an unhappy upbringing,,
a broken home..unable to make a
conscience decision over right and wrong..
they're all karma chamelions
beware the warning tongue

beware the warning tongue
though many do not listen,
if parables they speak
the truth will glow and glisten,
take the time to learn
for in the story is told,
many great life lessons
back from the days of old

back from the days of old
famine of beauty, truth does scold
assess do talk, neither seldom listen
sweat on their brow glow and glisten
take the bitter make it sweet
give the girls a brand new treat
hate makes them thirst, wishing the worst
tell them again piss in a bucket now chug it !!!!

how could anyone pass up THIS line?? lol

tell them again piss in a bucket now chug it
and watch their faces look like they smell sh!t.
their dainty senses were spoiled
as if their shoes were just soiled
by stepping in someone's pet's crap
causing them to make a big flap.

causing them to make a big flap
flap flap yap yap, your profile makes me want to take a nap
so daring, so handsome, so suave and dap-per
you flip and you flap your mouth like a sap
if you were Pinocchio, your nose would have grown
if I were Cinderella, my feet would have flown
to the bank, to the bank to take out a loan
cause so many fishes in such a big pond
reminds me of Madoff, now everything's gone
so don't look behind you, cause I'm on your tail
better watch out, you might land in my jail
I'm so sorry I went over my allotted lines
but since it's so late, I hope no one mines

you'll go to jail with the rest of the crew
but it won't be for poor punctuation
make sure your postings are soft and polite
or you'll be in the same situation
as others before you dared speak their minds
got riled up over injustice
remember you're playing in somebody's pond
and the eye's can be watching and bait us.

Late, Late Late the story of my life. Hello world Happy FRIDAY!!!!!

set sail, got away before they knew
made off like madeoff, or so I thought it seems
only to find them waitin on the other side of stream
they money they made me take it back,
they said of substance I do lack
the love of money it got to me
horrid handcuffs, no where to flee

and the eyes can be watching and bait us
deep and dark, almost like the shark they lust
they look, they stare, at times glare, wanting
to be me or eyes on that wall, awaiting to see
which way Ill fall. Batting, baggy, and blinkin
some with even pink in, awaiting the sinkin
the ship that never sinks, the wave that never crashes
stares at the shark with the long eyelashes

Stares at the shark with the long eyelashes
While the shark remains collected it's prey thrashes
Oceans apart marks the depths of their heart
The shark's heart is shallow & it's crop reaped is fallow
Always hungry & pitifully empty inside
Where discontentment continually will reside
Seeking it's next victim - always needing more
So it can temporarily escape from what darkens it's door

So it can't temporarily escape from what darkens it's door
searching from top to bottom looking for next score
why just last week the pet shark swallowed the man whole
and here he thought he had a friend, good as gold
what is it with the sharks ands snakes, yesterday boa
decided to constrict the owner, a friendly snake I don't know of
they are lame they can't be train best looked at behind the glass
least you know then they won't be eating your ass...

least you know then they won't be eating your ass
if you go into the arena with a full tank of gas
come armed, stay alert, be prepared if you want to win
have your t's crossed and i's dotted on your spin
don't allow yourself to go in half-c0cked
lest you enjoy having life's door always locked
you don't need to live life as a militant
but do be aware, flexible and observant

Do be aware, flexible and observant
And for fear of seeming simple
Please don’t refrain from
Stipulating to the incredibly obvious

For as a wise man noted, “Dumb questions concern things so obvious
We should be embarrassed even to speak of them.
Sometimes though, they poke holes in thin spots in what we thought true
Allowing new light to shine in on what we had forgotten.”

allowing the new light to shine in on what we have forgotten
our inner child is born again
rising from the ashes of yesterdays campfires
into the play ground of adult tomorrows
embrace the care free journey
remember what it is to lead without followers
and follow only what your heart decides
it is what we all wish to do more often

float on joyous laughter
rising above the endless grief and terror
it's peace we're really after
we rise above each day's ominous reports
and try to enjoy any moment
our brains can let go of thoughts of disaster
and nap in contentment
