15 Ridiculously Short Poems

Here are 15 very, very, very short prose poems! I think it is better to do it this way 
than to add 15 very short single poems. Hope you enjoy them 
-----------------------------------

Voodoo

She kept trying 
To make him 
Disappear! 
Until one day 
After casting 
A powerful spell 
He vanished! 

Oh… I forgot 
He also took the car 
-----------------------------------

Something Missing

Kissing her 
While her teeth 
Were sitting in a glass 
By the bed 
Was like 
Eating oatmeal 
Without 
A spoon 
-----------------------------------

Chatty Mornings

It was a perfect way 
To start the day 
As we looked at each other 
And said nothing
Twice !!
-----------------------------------

The Perfect Woman

She was everything 
Any man could ever want 
Young 
Beautiful 
Intelligent 
Happy 
Naked 
-----------------------------------

Unfortunate Fortunate’s

He tried to kill himself 
With a gun 
Several times 
Fortunately 
He was a poor shot 
-----------------------------------

Almost Something

She said she loved me 
But I knew exactly who she was 
And coming from her 
It almost meant… something 
-----------------------------------

Not Cancer

The lump had bothered her 
For quite some time 
But after a physical examination 
It turned out just to be her husband 
-----------------------------------

Patty’s Underpants

Though she left hours ago 
They were hanging leisurely 
Just lying over the bedroom chair 
As if to say... good morning!
-----------------------------------

Misinterpreting Signs

I thought I had grown lazy 
Now I see I’ve just grown old 
-----------------------------------

A Pleasant Thought

I pictured you as leaves on a tree 
Fallen to the ground 
Surrounding my home 
Covering me
-----------------------------------
Like Him

His love for her was so deep 
And so strong 
That he would never allow her 
To fall for a fool like him
-----------------------------------

Lucky

It happened to me 
... Once!
-----------------------------------

Virginia

Inside the Dunkin Donuts 
It looks like 
New York 
-----------------------------------

Cheech And Chong Meet Romeo And Juliet

It’s OK honey 
I''m over 18 
-----------------------------------

What To Look For In The Perfect Woman
