Best Amuse Poems

When no one else is around 
I AMUSE MYSELF while sitting down
And bring myself  tons of joy when I pretend to be 
A stand-up comedian amusing all my friends.

I amuse myself then.
Nothing else to do while sitting in the pews.
I might as well count...

One by one
They come and go;
Bus-stop blues


On the way out,
Smile as you go;
Embrace forgetfulness


Surge of passion
No need to feel;
Go with the flow


Bedtime stories
We swop tales;
Laugh stomach cramps


Basketball court,
Two sides stalking;
Win-win losing


Cable TV
So much to see;
Time fritters away


Hypermart queue
Long as usual;
Impatient sighs


I see you,
You see me;
No...

we may have the blues
should stop then we will amuse
choose the proper shoes

read news page by page
when my bright mind may engage
could see cat in cage

constant covenant
good looks appeared prevalent
where ever she went

there had been much trash
we could see in Calabash
things may cost much and...

Amuse... In a world of splendor, I want to share thoughts.
To capture others with a creative voice
To embrace emotions as a writing tool
To ruminate another’s introspection

I am just a muse.
I want to be your best friend.
I want to enable you to write again.

Within the universe,...

One fine day, I planned a visit to zoo
Alone landed amidst the fauna left so few
Treaded merrily on greenery, singing my heart out
Whilst a lion’s scary roar made me shout

‘Ah! Another visitor’, said the lion annoyingly
‘Why should we entertain you?’ said he fumingly
‘What’s the point...

Big crowd gathering,
Street mime motions;
Silence speaks loud


By this bench,
Mall-side pavilion;
Busy feet greet


Shoppe sales,
Brisk human traffic;
Up sell more stuff


City mall heat,
Air-con breakdown;
Sweaty auras


Fauna and flora,
Wild flowers bloom;
Singing in the rain


Lovely lovebirds:
Octopus tentacles;
Shyness absconds


Morning psalm
Sparrow songbird;
Balcony recital


Window view slant
Bamboo pines sway;
Dancing in the breeze


Traffic jam horde
To conquer...

A muse
Amuse
Amusing


Pathway route
Distant shores;
Deserted


Dawn spreads
Misty glow;
Drenching rain


Thunder grooms
Lightning streaks;
Sky canvas strokes


Grey canopy
Ominous clouds;
Gloom prevails


Early morning stroll,
Fond old couple;
Chinatown tour


Wet market stalls
Busy food bazaar;
Touting vendors


Weathered verse book,
Yellowing pages;
Old raptures speak


Train ride to somewhere,
Crowded air;
Lonely eyes dart

Fairly good writing there, Mr. Rose:
In your words on the main post;
Your prose, being the host.

As I read them down, without a doubt;
I came to the comment area, 
To give this shout.

Now, it's come down to this;
The comment I'm leaving you, 
Does it exist!?

That both...

Dear Calliope, muse and faithful advisor,
and ancient goddess, a poet's treasure.
She guides my words, for hers are wiser
with perception far beyond all measure.
We paint images; a pen is our brush.  
Crumbled pages lie all about in the den
where we huddle in thought, hour after...

Proud pirate flag, peacock, pumpernickel pie,
Perfumed prairie pinwheels, paper two-ply.
Happy hanging homebody having healthy hi.
Heaving hitting heartfelt Harry hopping high.

Ballooning blissful blossoms beaconing blue Babe,
Luxurious lumberjack licking lemonade.
Merry mashing marshmallows mysteriously made.
Fine frolicking French frankfurters fearful and afraid.

It is fun to throw some alliteration into...

Amuse Me

Take my babies and drown them in sin
Turn them into savages
Remove my soul with pliers
Walk me hand in hand to the alter
To my slaughter
Claim my house, car, wallet, friends and family too
Steal my heart but not my sons and daughters
Leave me one key to...

Apply sure craft with passion bold,
Mind knows the feel of heart that seeds;
Urge mellows draft as thought unfolds,
Sense a firm will that sculpts wise creed:
Echo a voice that fashions poise.
Glimpses of wit now splurge fond say,
Reach for fine choice to purge mad noise;
Align deep fit...

This world makes sense in vivid tense
When matters dense purge all pretense.


This earthly plain lives not in vain
For I see plain the waves of pain.


This timeless space where I feel grace
Touching my face with healing trace.


This karmic world serves but to swirl
What lessons twirl in...

Craft candid choice
Ply profound poise


Love lingers light
See sensuous sights


Draft dazzles deep
Spice succinct sleep


Price playful proof
Touch tender truth


Lines laughter lifts
Spread spiral sift


Art ample aid
Plot plenty paid


Seek sanguine soul
Work wise words whole


Greet gentle grace
Set sacred space


Zip zesty zoom
Rich rapture rooms


Time travel takes
Mind mystic make


Feed funny fuse
Mind mental...

In the glitzy neon dust bowl of Vegas
or the mean streets of New York,
or the cold Chicago sprawl;
wise guy kings and slam-dunk queens
hold court on leather barstool thrones,
hold sway and rule it all.

Protection racket monarchy,
goodfellas drink and smoke the dream
and laugh of victims on their...
