Ogden Nash
New York poet Ogden Nash
with rhyme made quite a splash
His topics aesthetically absurd
so popular though when heard
Coo coo for CoCo Puffs
Ridicules, silly and all that
Ascending unto altered realities
Zealous lousy I await my fitting for my straight jacket
You see
HUH??????????????

If ever there was a day
when the song of men
and Elves
were to disappear
From the face of Middle Earth
and the hearts and minds of
Elves Dwarves and men
it was at this time of sorrow
They were once
nine Kings who
were great and mighty
But then from the
Black shadows rose
Sauron and the power of the Ring
they wouldn't be able
to resist
So one by one
they were drawn to its power
and one by one
they fell
And now they ride
ceaselessly
searching for the
most Precious the Ring of Power
The one that their dark
Master wants it
just to possess it
to conquer and to smite with it.

Authors notes:
-From my very extensive poetry collection and poems inspired by the LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit books and movies by J.R.R. Tolkien.
I'm searching for the reasons
of the seasons,
but can only find small elation
of mortals equation.
Is it the truth they've formulated?
Not of how one cloud is made
or what causes shade,
but the essence of the sum.
Is it the One who caused B.C.
to become A.D.?
Yes, I have paused
and considered that belief.
But I forward and tearful
found little relief
and grew rather fearful.
For I could not hold
amorous sensation
and believing salvation
in this fleshly mold.
Why must it be so?
I really don't know
why we must choose to be
a believing A
or a believing Z.
But either way
we must believe
something.
Azalea blooms show their pink blaze
Begonias in beds amaze
Cornflowers grow in blue delight
Daffodil debuts still thrill our sight
Eastern Redbud, a bright pink splash
Forsythia gold hides winter's ash
Gardenia, soft with creamy hues
Hyacinth paints with varied blues
Irises rise in purple duds
Jasmine vines show pastel buds
Kafir Lilies, a border bloom
Lilacs share their sweet perfume
Magnolias are pink or white
Neillia clusters in rose delight
Orchids grow with pale soft hues
Pansies, purple with darkest blues
Quince's blossoms of pink delight
Red Chokeberry blooms in rose or white
Snowdrops dangle small white gems
Tea Tree Camellias sleep on stems
Ursinia shows a fiery glow
Viburnum's spread creates a show
Wax Flowers paint a pastel scene
Xylobium...an Orchid dream
Yellow Anemones' full beds bring
Zinnias add their splash to Spring
Pie juice is preferable on a plate when served with ample amounts of shredded cheese. Wanton not a buttered eel on toast. Slammed together in the bread halves. Then delivered by a small town in a paisley dress. No hat. Despise not a winning goal from a long combustible leg. And legislation from left overs are often highly recommended for a show. Top viewing capabilities. With or without horns. A sun that claps is a sun in sun glasses. Whilst a star can create the most beautifully presented cookies and curds. Onions jump into trees. And cabbages smile. Thin strips of acrid agriculture served in a bowl with a bun in a hat. Hahahaha speechless sailors. Hahahaha and now a small rhinoceros balancing. La la hahahaha *** polarisation z in a curve
Alluring scents of cinnamon n' mint
Beckoning of holiday cheer
Chiming of bells for a special mass
Dancing n' rejoicing
Ever blessed for the king is born
Framing love under a stable
Gravitating imaginations of joy
Hidden within messages
In boxed of toys
Jolly old Saint Nick
Kindling of spirits
Landing under a tree
Momentum of detail in wrapping
Nevertheless gathering families
Over Dinner conversations are carried
Plates full of a soulful food
Quietness sweeping the table through forks
Rambunctious spread of deserts
Satisfying mindful cravings
Trending time coming near
Upon the morning excite
Various gifts revered
While parents quietly watch
Xeroxing imprints of memories
Yielding imaginations thereof
Zealous baring Santa Claus
Written 1/4/2016
From A to Z and full of flare
The ladies come, intent to share
Words of wisdom and allure
All their musing, bright, obscure;
Emotion strong they lay it bare.
With broken-heart some plan a coup
Against distress and then regroup
With their beauty they beguile
All these women have got style
With golden pen they stir the Soup.

A life full of love,
Brought from heaven above,
Calling to each and every heart,
Doubt and truth spread worlds apart,
Even hate is swept away,
Fear and evil cannot stay,
Gather together the good and the right,
Heal the weak so they can take flight,
Isolate from the jealous mind,
Joyfully follow the caring and kind,
Kill the wrong and terrible thought,
Live for everything that love has brought,
Managing life and able to lead,
Never forgetting what others may need,
Open the heart to everyone,
Pray for things that must be done,
Question those who hold a grudge,
Remember to forgive instead of judge,
Show the way for those who are lost,
Teach them of hate and what it can cost,
Understand the hope and faith to give,
Victory to those who believe and live,
Wrongs erased for family and friend,
XO's to symbolize the love to lend,
Year after year keep the peace the same,
Zero time for war or blame.
abstracted bass, cacophonic drums echoing.
fretting guitars, humming in jubilation.
knackish lyrics, melancholy narrated opus.
phrased quartets, rare sonorous texture.
upbeat virtuoso, windy xaphoons yodel Zep.
Always

careful,
Don't
eat
fattening
garbage.
Help others,
Initiate,
Just do your best,
Kiss daily,
Love often,
Money doesn't solve everything,
No

Zesty poem, huh?
You are distant...
As distant as the days past death...
She goes as the moments,forever living
Her smile is stark betrayal
You asked for it...you love the manipulation
Her lips have been dreamt about
Though in unforgiving day they speak of light to fools,
in deep listening she words bereft humanity and loss of love
She has the world in her concrete box
Men of fool's blood and watered mouths crave the stone cold maiden
If not for lost love she'd be true and kind
"But she's a child...as I am,"cried my mind
Her sex is spiteful,loveless, lost through time
She's a friend of mine
Her innocent countenance could lead to cruel misconception
Expect deception,as you expect sun to day
For her poison unlike her beauty,will never fade away
All around
birdies bicker
cats creep
doggies dig
every evening.
flowers flirting,
greening grass,
heather hedging
invading insects
juicy junipers.
keening kin
life lost,
mournful mending
nurture needed.
ominous omens,
praying penitent
quietly quaking
redemption rendered.
sweet scents
tease, tickle
unarm ugliness
vivacious violets
warmly witness
xeroxed xanthous.
yonder yawn
Zany zinnia!
