Lou’s Poem

When a young lady whose name is Lou
Said, “I shall write a poem about you!”,
It was really rude
And so extremely lude,
That I hear you are going to sue!

I Know a Young Lady Named Mona

I know a young lady named Mona
Who is known for being a loner.
On her wedding day
She ran far away.
Please, has anyone seen my girl Mona!

Mona

When a young lady whose name is Mona
Asked that I please go and phone her,
I said, “my dear
You are already here!”.
So she left, so I could phone her!

All Poets Cease their Rhyme

All poets cease their rhyme
In the fullness of time.
While others stop their run
‘Ere their time has come.

Meet Me on the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie

In “Meet Me on the Equinox”, Death Cab for Cutie sing “everything, everything ends”. This is a beautiful track. I relate to the song as a lot of my own poetry touches on the brevity of life.

The Louts and their Sprouts

There once was a gang of louts
Who liked to hit people with sprouts.
But when they hit Jack
He threw them right back,
With cabbages to go with those sprouts!

Conscious of the Wind

The wind sings
In the trees
As I,
Alone,
Pass by
Gravestone.

Or, on the busy thoroughfare,
Oft, he catches me unaware
With piles of fallen leaves
And great boughs brought low.
And then I know
That all must go.

Claire’s Laptop

There was a young lady named Claire
Who kept a laptop in her hair.
Her friend Yvette
Used the internet
With that laptop in Miss Clair’s hair!

We Chat Over Wine

We chat over wine
For you are mine
For this little time.
And we both know
How this will go.

This night
Must end.
And the polite
Call us boyfriend
And girlfriend.

Writing

In a half dream
Words grow
Then go
On my changing screen.

Oh! sweet sleep
Make me free
Of poetry!
But no, for poetry
Is me.
