Benjamin Poems - Poems about Benjamin

I cooked...

A little moon for Benjamin For Benjamin the moon Which casts itself upon his face Tonight when it is full In a magic transformation That illuminates, in depth A purer form of innocence A finer state of grace And wisdom’s inspiration That poets can embrace For here the gaze of wonder! For here the look of awe! For here the eyes enraptured By what they see afar And...

BENJAMIN BLUE Benjamin Blue lost his shoe. He called to his mother, “What should I do?” His mother said, “Look under your bed” But as he did, he bumped his head! His father said, “Look under your chair” But all he found was dust and hair. His brother said “Look in your room, behind your door “ But dirty socks just covered his...

He was my former student, In whom I found not a dent. On the day he took the leap I’d seen a knotted crowd weep: Way back 1998 While Service Allowance did wait... Passers-by he’d shocked with stereo: A yelling one for “Cheerio,” His reason ‘Quite Earth-Shaking: “One could sleep off, no waking!” He had me killed Ten times with smiles And did me...

I wished to improve on my character so, I looked for a model to go by. I studied the habits of men great and tall, For one who seemed perfect in my eyes. Men of fine profile and manly physique, Were the first ones to cross my inspection. First also dismissed for their physical charms, Seemed all they had worth admiration; And those...

"Fart Proudly!" Benjamin Franklin Once Wrote A troublesome guest is best not to tote For happy intestines It was Ben's suggestion A good fart is worthy of a good gloat! Could it be that we're farting obsessed? Each aspect of farting addressed From loud and heady To silent but deadly All preferences being confessed They say one should die for their art But it's others who...

It’s a garden of roses Sweet sweet smells of Jasmine and lavender It never rains, it never pours it drizzles patiently It drizzles romantically I have my garden I have my Eden Red roses smile at me Beautiful birds sing melodiously I lighten up like a further Gentle winds whistles me to the 9th cloud Exotically I float aimlessly It...
