Best Befuddles Poems

In the heart where your naivety resides
you wonder what haunts the sun
and why pain enjoys your childhood eyes,
when you see warm blood run
then you know that death can color
and like you, death loves a dramatic picture,
however, death doesn't dull the future
for a youngster hyper to...

These past years I’ve lived in memories,
stitched together to fight the growing grey.

Thoughts and longings like light
dappled through the leaves of a forest.

Lost amongst the loam and brush
this fog settles, befuddles the mind.

Long forgotten branches grown
mossed beards shudder though
breath and wind hasn't blown.

Bereft of life...

sawed-off on the
crimson emerald from a cloudy sky

squeal
and, at times, the reason
low-slung why

sparkles of a pearly salver
modicum of encrusted damask mist

befuddles me
albeit

moon, amber, and opalescence
spawn a charming sight

the perspective
strikes each crevice of the flesh.
and psyche advise

shrouded in a cinereous cloud
hapless and helpless, a glum-blue wolf
growls...

the road to her was not easy
the valleys of her mind were not smooth ones
there were times when love smelled like new suitcases
there were times when hate and its pungency was the freshest scent
however here we still remain wrapped in each others arms
how we can...

this little mouse befuddles me
for it is her i set free
yet she won't let me be
returns back to me
at night i hear her chew and chew
such a mess always rude
not sure of what to do
if i catch her over again
and release her from the trap...

I can't help but find it ridiculously absurd
when people call Biden a liar and a fraud
yet believe Trump is truthful with his word.
Cheering his fictitious claims, they applaud!

That man has spun so many webs of lies,
that he has to tell more to cover his butt.
Blaming...

an extreme feeling takes over my body when i hear your voice
it befuddles me in a trans
Abrupty it dawns on me that i'm in love
my world begins to spin looking at her unadulterated body
Covered with allegiance
Her beckon signals me to relax and breathe
this...

[ to the tune of My Favorite Things ]

Raindrops on dew drops and ponds formed by puddles,
Praising when phrasing bewilders, befuddles,
Nice sounding lyrics that don’t mean a thing,
This is what too much sun on your head brings.

Horses short courses on bucking a rider.
Who died, the...

The Noise

There lives a strange bug in the Eastern trees
Called a Cicada - among other things!
Hardly a difference anyone sees
But, my friend, wait 'til you hear how it sings!

Now,this bug hatches in seventeen years
The larvae eats quietly for that long
After the hatch, you won't believe...

I blush when I think about the makeup
Of Man. At birth he's weak and insecure
He's helpless, ignorant- a little pup
Has more going for him than this treasure.
And when he matures, mental growth is slight.
He whines and pines and broods o'er picayune
Events: It's too hot! I'm...

TO KNOW THE WHYS OF A COW 
IS TO KNOW WHY GOD CREATED MAN

A cow looks at the full moon standing on a sloping hillside
it looks straight at the moon as if it were waiting for an answer 
the beast does not move but keeps...

Now, gather ye roond an ye listen well.
 I have me a story, I have a tale tae tell,
 Of a young man born near these hills of green
 Who wandered these dales and was again never seen

Why he went there we may never know.

Two am., I’m up again
Staying asleep befuddles me
Needing to flip the switch at the main
And turn off my mind you see
What wheels do turn
Screech round then stop
My head doth burn
Like flames atop
The buried truth
Must eventually come out
I drink the vermouth
Washed down with a stout
Easier to...

The park was pooled with puddles
From all the melting snow.
This weather, it befuddles,
Every day a different show.

Today is crisp but sunny,
Tomorrow cold and wet,
Yet I’ll take even money
That we’ll cope with what we get.

With all the current troubles,
Which we’ll muddle through together,
Let us step outside...

A sinkhole, deep as 20 feet,
Collapsed without a warning,
Around the corner from my street
Quite early in the morning.

Repair crews came but no one knows
What caused the sudden sinking.
Decrepitude, some folks suppose,
But not what we were thinking.

Ineptitude’s what we would blame,
For workers have been toiling 
On...
