Best Amused Poems

I’m a secret watcher of Dr. Who, but now you know, and his tardis is bigger on the inside as the cult following knows. So much philosophy, such as we look much smaller on the outside. It is as if “The Doctor” lives inside his...

fell out with my muse
           formed incompatible views 
               became quite a feud
      sparks and flashes...

Oceans, woods, abused, confused!
Mother nature not amused!
Her bellies aching.
Mistakes we're making!
Time pollution was defused!

There is an old man of the ocean,
To marine life is his devotion.
We have to put right,
Marine waters plight.
Or suffer our own devolution!...

Grandmother Is Not Amused

By Elton Camp

Queen Elizabeth certainly isn't amused
That Prince Harry again stands accused

Although his latest is easier to understand
Than wearing a uniform with Nazi armband

But playing strip billiards isn't nearly as bad
As some of the things done by Harry's dad

Henry the Eighth showed...

Our cards are on the table, 
All my Aces are face down, 
My Poker Face practised, perfect, 
In for a penny or a pound? 

Now the sweat beads at my temple, 
I've misused my Aces High, 
By sneaking one off the table, 
And pressing it to my thigh.

I am not a cheat...

A Poet is Amused 
 
Now when we say good bye give me
a promise with your hands and lips
no, I didn`t mean an apple.
Object
Plutocrat
Advocate 
That has nothing to do with grammar.
Who said it did?
The first time I saw naked woman was a September night
she stood...

SOFTLY THE VOICE COMES FROM WITHIN
SPEAKING THROUGH ME TO MY PEN
ONTO THIS PAPER LAID DOWN BEFORE ME
THE WORDS COME FASTER, MORE READILY
AS I GET INTO THE RHYTHM AND RHYME
I OFTEN WISH I HAD THIS EASY A TIME

SPEAKING

SOME PEOPLE HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS,IT SEEMS
I ONLY...

My Muse Was Not Amused

ME:  "Muse, I cannot write those words!
           What thoughts would he think of me?"
MUSE:  "Child, you must not be absurd.

You Amused me with your insults
But you are no where near been like Donald Trump.
A rich man who is now president.
Well put together but he insult no one.
But only speak from what he see but not about people.
Nor insult thinking that he's better than any...

I lost;
The strength my words willed,
The musings my words instilled,
When you bowed out;
The publicized emotion my face bore for you,
Swimming the skies we spoke of, so blue,
Rhythm and notes were never effortless,
Sensing the bass like your fingertips’ caress,
Your charisma can draw,
Me beside,
The treble feels raw,
And...

Waking, realizing dawn was past 
Hearing a background noise
Some what like a wet tin whistle
Child blown in a futile attempt at a note
“What kind of bird is that?”
“A red winged blackbird”
She rose and left me lying abed
Wondering what else she lived
That I missed so easily...

I’m amused
I have with me
a trophy
a red ripe tomato
a beautiful flower
a sharp thorn
a pendulum
a tick tock clock
a ping pong ball
a double-edged pin
my lost rib...

Amused owl was enjoying his day in the best of circumstances.
He had memorized some chants, some clogging and dances.
His attitude and humor was on fire, he was doing lively prances.
Some sourpusses were giving him disdaining eye glances....

Supposed To Be Amused

With your joke  were supposed to be amused;
Instead what happened we became confused;
What about;
Had doubt;
It must have been mishandled  and misused.

And amen should have been added at end of 
sermon so we knew it was over.

O~ what dread
My muse in bed
Dear me~ that's ink she's bled
Tried sopping it with bread
Her boots been filled with lead
I think she's good as dead

O~ good grief she said
Shaking her head
You've been misled
You plain misread
She left her body there and fled
