Best Bongos Poems


Premium Member Taking It Easy In Retirement
So much for my ideas of slowing down,
Taking it easy just sitting watching TV.
I moved to a peaceful seaside town,
Since then I have found a few things occupy me.

I play bridge at least three times every week,
Read poems with a group on Thursday afternoons,
For extra...

Premium Member Oh No, Oh No
Oh No! Oh No! What has my son done? I hope it’s, not already to late!
He lives at a fraternity house, and surely, you know THAT intense mental state.
March has St. Patrick’s Day, Spring Break, and has, of course, Easter in it, too.
So they decided...

Premium Member Sheep And Other Animals
Sheep

next door to 19 chimneys
and 'the dark satanic mills'
a flock of sheep is grazing
oblivious in the hills.



Other Animals

goblin sharks and pangolins
sea pigs, star-nosed moles

mata matas, sugar gliders
shoats and water voles.


aye-ayes, dik-diks, wobbegongs
chicken turtles, loons

shoebills, snipes and yeti crabs
and cozumel raccoons.


pink fairy armadillos
bilbys, 52-hertz whales

the red-lipped...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Good Night and Sweet Dreams of the Day
A whispering word is a whispering void cantering over airspace. Clear but unclear. Oh the sheer detectable ideology of the fungal worm. Chitter chatter consume. Consumption is the eruption. And like a fine wine to a palate leaves no bereft anarchical wonderful wound. It leaves...

Premium Member He Brought Us Music
Many times when I would here a song, I would get an almost joyful longing, but I could never pinpoint the moment in my past that I wished for so deeply.

I would feel a certain peaceful joy, hovering just beyond my reach.

And as I stared...

Pizzas Jumping Over Garlic Bread With Coleslaw Hairbands and Onion Ring Piercings
It is not a mind altering parade of substances that questions a rotting ship. It is not a threefold tankard buried in an Abyssinia besom of beads for only a technological advance actually shows such a word and such a word is neither an acute...

Warrior
Born in Ivory Coast
but never would I boast.
Raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo
playing the bongos, but couldn’t make it my logo.
On a quest from east to west,
I made Cameroon my nest.
But the traveler in me took me to Paris
only to find out it was...

An Opulent Donut Wears a Suit
Opulence is not flatulence especially in a house. And onion peel is very useful for persuading a plant to float in a prism. It is often great to watch a pea boat sail past. Rather remarkable it is. Round swirling orb. The balancing of a...

Tablecloth Telling the Time
A weasel wibble wobbling can be said to have ingested copious amounts of indemonstrable indelible ink today as it soared into doorways, hallways, cloakrooms, and buffet tables. Buffet tables are neither buffaloes or bongos. In fact they are a pleasant sight to behold. Many colours....

Kittens
A translucent snowfall is far better off financially than a transmitted radio signal. This is not monetary moments. This is mystifying mystical movements. Falling thick. Sticking. Good. Now kindly remove the heavy iron stockings from that shire horse. It really requires delicacy. Hay is a...

Smell the Roses
Be Bop Bop, Hey!
The bongos sound hollow today

Burned out is me
Countless years of intensity

Toasted to black 
Headed for a real heart attack

Never thinking this possible
To a man invincible

Stop to smell the roses they say
Nope, they're just hay

Woke up a couple weeks ago
Thought I had died
And
The...

Do you think Pharts are Phunny

Do you shake hands, hug or play bongos

If a fellow employee pukes in their cubicle
Do you…puke also

	…summon the Janitor/custodian
