Best Collate Poems


The Shortcomings of Genius
Athletes of intellect ponder difficult questions
Cortex’s quiver to cerebral suggestions
A genius theorises with a deepening frown
Well, how come my toast always lands face down?

Quantum conundrums confoundingly dreary  
Cynical scientists dismiss a new theory
A mastermind clutches his head in distress 
Well, if a crab has...

Tat Dancing
A sprig of flowers danced the dawn
Tip toed merrily across the lawn
The delicate ankle softly trips
As the dew her ethereal sips

Around her feet the birds did sing
From her smile the sun did bring
April showers and tippling rainbows
From her eyes the suggestion grows

Colours burst and blossoms...

Grammar Series - the Preposition
THE STRANGE CASE OF THE PREPOSITION 

The preposition is a peculiar case
No use on its own by itself with no function
It needs an attachment to have any place
Alone would decease, be due extreme unction

Now some words may act without others at hand
Such as Nouns as...

Friends Are Like Trees
For a record,
A best friend covers your past from floating to the present life!
Though we also have,
Next-door friends!
Worldview friends!
Cross-culture friends!
Financial friends!
Devotion friends!
Close friends!
Friends with benefits!
Mentor friends!

Don’t quote me wrong but,
Girlfriends and boyfriends are like florets,
They bloom, fly, fall and dry.
While your friends will be crafting...

I can't help it,
My pen stocked a bit.
Words slip in awful mind.
But no chance to say it loud.
To write each line in rhymes.

I will keep on making the same verse.
Until I find the proper way.
To witness my hands start a stroke.
'Til i fill an empty...

For the Sake of Rhyme
I have some info to dissipate
It took me a decade to collate
And now it’s yours for free
After this exposure I will flee
To a faraway country
I will work in an infamous pantry
There I will fall off the radar
Never leaving my door ajar
Lest they track me down
And...

Talos
I stoked every fire echoing into the mouth of arthritis?
A rhyming balm develops epileptic quasar fear?
If so, will he enter arbitration “Sold Out”?
Sleep wills She to cocoon beside you, Artemis?
Resplendent fallow flowers ecstasy coriander?
Do we sate the moons of Jupiter?
Funnel Now beyond we murks dilating...

Billy the Penguin Finds Love
In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.
He thought of a vast array of things big and small
But there was one facet he thought of most of all..
Love.
Love being that for a penguin
See he had a lot...

Going Home
The rain appeared, arctic 
Spattered the duck board 
As angry pellets flinched 
And recoiled 

Boathouse dank, bleak 
Galley proofing transpire 
Moist and humid 
With sense of Frangelico 
And bitter almonds 

The sord chattered 
With new fervor 
And feeders sojourned 
Past darkled dawn 

Composition turned to...

This year leaps
Feisty moves hurl;
An extra day styles

~~~~~~~~~


Old condo visit
Caretaker friend smiles;
Tea and chit-chat

~~~~~~~~~


Monday dawn light
Cool breeze hints rain;
Passing clouds wet

~~~~~~~~~


Paperwork clutter
Desktop somewhat crowded;
Dazzling piles of something

~~~~~~~~~


Morning excursion
Procure meal packs;
Monday food fare

~~~~~~~~~


Wet pathway
Stray feats loiter;
Chinese kung-fu session

~~~~~~~~~


New signpost here
Heart-shape holes sketch;
Lee Kuan Yew's ghost lingers

~~~~~~~~~

Anemoia
Whether it be pernicious hailstorms,
Or be shiveringly cold snow.
It shall be in all forms,
And it comes by and goes in a blow.

Surprisingly it can be an exuberant reminiscence
Perhaps a past full of dolorous tear.
One can only see it in essence,
For it is neither far nor...

God Help the Disunited States
Call the Dalai Lama, Christ
Mohammed, and the Fates
Call the Druids, and the Rabbis
Call the angels, and their mates
Call the scientists and physicists
To measure and collate
Call psychologists who understand
And artists who create
Call the clowns who see things sideways
And the writers who narrate
Get them all around the...

I've been so busy lately
there's not been time to dwell,
among the poems and people,
the Poetry Soup clientele.

To the friends I've made, I apologize,
my excuse, I'm sure well known,
I've been writing and publishing a poetry book,
but the editing had me thrown.

I'm too anti to use MSWord,
they...
