Best Adding Poems

Ray Gridley has a possible diagnosis
Alas, rabbits do catch viral myxomatosis
Since Jan's is a famous banging bunny
Who stays far from field and ANY honey
Energizer Bunny will bang on till unconscious!

But Jan, is this a Limerick trick? 
Your family, truly, has no Dick and no Rick ... 
I could have sworn 
Since I, too, had been born 
my family had to have had one Mr. Dick!

(c)Deo.I could not bring myself to declare it as clearly...

I wanted to add purple to my garden, she said.
She was lucky to have me, I thought in my head.
What about catmint, hydrangea, or meadow rue?
She looked confused, like she did not know what to do.

There is always lavender, corydalis, alluring allium too.
She took a...

My hungry fingers licked your face,
tasting every curve;
my eyes consumed your image
much like a starving child devours food.
Love-fragrance laced the air we breathed.
We were drunk,
addicted to our potent attraction.
Life crackled with intense emotion,
teetering on Cupid's arrow point.
"This is true love!" I told my dizzy self.
"A...

Doing crazy things
doesn't make an individual insane,
it adds spice to life;
I did lots of harmless, foolish things
to bring my classmates out of depression
and make them laugh heartily.


Eric was the weirdest kid 
in our English class,
he was depressed a lot
and kept to himself,
and with his morbid...

Adding Rhyme To My Free Verse, Cooking Poetic Stew

My thoughts are dark as deep night,
The stinging vine, the wisp of smoke,
The elusive unicorn, freshly killed,
Yet my hopes are dancing upon sunny days.
Those memorable and glorious days,
Sunny rays raking proud, tall trees,
Flowing waters washing my tired...

I was carting horse manure in a trailer that’s on loan.
I’m driving on the back roads ‘cause I know that I am prone,
to be courting a disaster if I take a major road,
with no brake lights or blinkers and no cover on the load.

I took...

There’s a query that I need to conclude,
about my cat who with mice does collude.
Now I’d pay the price
to get rid of these mice -
Where can I buy mouse-flavored cat food?...

Let

Try this
A new way
To express our thoughts-
Share our mathematical hearts

My
Left
Breast aches
Cancer cries
My Life proves worthwhile
As chemotherapy invades

Can’t 
Wait
To share
With students
Poetry in math
Lessons from the pain and healing...

Adding Colorful Food to Your Diet

By Elton Camp

Antioxidants are needed experts say
Eating colored food is the best way

Their wise advice I decided to apply
To eat more brightly colored I’d try

I did it because I thought I should 
Even if they don’t taste very good

To my...

There's something going on around here, something special. 
Something's being tossed in the bowl- (sort of speak). Something that to my likes, tastes and smells as good as any cheery pie, apple strudel, or creme filled pastry. I suppose it's in the air, or, in...

"Not Adding Up"
A lot just yap and bluff
Electricity I can conduct
Even though it all is not adding up
At times I had enough
Yet couldn't stop myself it's sad and tough
So I spent time in an abandoned hut
Then ate a muffin that was Banana nut
No it didn't...

They were doing the tango, the slide and the dip.
We told them they were unrefined; the gargoyle let it slip.
They came after us with machetes, axes, knives and such.
We scurried from the table; Frankenstein knocked down the hutch.
 
Oh, sorry said the ghouls, the werewolves,...

You Do the Math
David J Walker

Such is the cost of
Granting another day 
Travel another step away 
Down A longer path

You do the Math 
Scribbled and quibbled 
On every empty calendars graph 

Adding it up 
unable to take away 
Any day you have passed 
Any past...
