Best Amusing Poems

He writes to me in curly cues painting 
fractals on pressed paper made of rice.
Shreds of simple stalks are beaten to 
bare the smoothness of his script.

Or no way I’ll get back to my car.'...

I could not find my muse one day,
Whither she'd gone, I could not say,
I searched up high, I looked down low,
But could not find her, what a blow!

Would you help me to look for her?
But we must not create a stir,
For she is as wise...

I went on a Ferris wheel that was named The Mountain Top,
it took me high, so high
Felt like I became a spirit in the sky
Then when it let me down so gently,
I whistled out a relieved sigh;
then laughed and shouted aloud, nothing scares me

I went...

A first internet date with a stranger, 
Proved to be a flirtation with danger, 
Said the girl to her shrink, 
As her hand stroked her mink, 
‘I guess I wasn't born in a manger!'

It’s a stand out in my repertoire
It suggests ‘HUG’M NOW,’
And it must be highbrow,
For the source was our friend NPR.

A Miss diagnosed tragic ailment,

Urge joy to free true placid face,
Sense cheer now thrill fine wit said right;
Ink words that come to stay the course,
Niche pleasant poise that nurtures tact;
Gift voice that sums that visual cause.
Move active...

A rare carpet was said made for flight
But its owner had terror of height
You would think he’d choose gain
But he focused on pain,
“If earth wasn’t so hard I just might.”

There once was a hustler named Mable
Her mad skills at pool stuff of fable
Said, “It’s all up to you
But I’ll polish the cue
Of anyone clearing my table.”

Hills and valleys and curvy roads
Peeking houses behind tall oaks

Morning sun’s tender rays
Whistling gust’s soft touches
 
Musical dialogues of chirpy birds
Air-dances and rapid flutters

Fragrant stars of Jasmin flowers
Flourishing marvels of vivid colors

Wind chime’s calming tune
Amusing walk energizing the mood...

A temptress whose first name was Ella, 
Had her best snares set out for a fella, 
He saw through her ruses
And not fond of bruises
Simply said, ‘You’re not my Cinderella’...

When we retired we were so inspired:
To live free and rest from our labors.
This mobile home park has lived up to the mark,

And tell if the ladies are bathing.
At times he's been...
