Best Daiquiris Poems
Something“Something,” a compound
word, wondering why,
back in the early days,
I enjoyed it so, until
“serendipity” came along.
The “knock-knock,”
“who’s there?” “Surprise!”
The knockout of my voice,
the showering of my dishes,
the blending of daiquiris
and splendiferous guests.
Then the more potent,
poetic delight of “plenipotentiary,”
the dictionary, the thesaurus -
better than the yellow pages
and...

Ode To the MadmanOde to the Madman
It was heaven in hell, both.
It was 115 degrees and I was in hell.
But heaven was in sweltering Palm Springs.
And I tasted nectar and ambrosia, both,
Under the dauntless palms.
I took in the majesty of the gods
As they bowed to each other,
Like kow-towing...

I Found PeaceIronically, the "peace" you seek
I sought too
Only not in a dream
This is the reality I choose
Here, there are no "daiquiris"
Or "dancing"
No loveless romancing
No more chasing chances
Hoping that love enhances
In a heart that's bare
One that shows
No compassion, No care
And especially when it counts
Never being there
With words...

Center Fuse In CreativityMomentary lapse of reasoning
behind exemplary seasonings
give way to life's spicy habanero
awesomesauce.
Life's seasoning of sweet-&-sour puckers
Sweet puckering of every souring breath.
Life's wicked stammer nailing it
like a swift hammering blow
squashing pinpoint accuracy.
Strawberry daiquiris fruity liquor quicker
of tasty wines staggers a peaceful
drunken...

Winter is ended now spring has begun
The birds and the bees are looking for fun
Days are now longer that winter is done
The best time of the year is yet to come
Some like the snow but for me it’s the sun
Swim in blue waters then...

The SaloonI am in a saloon, where a blanket of glittering mist covers the floor, and where critics are shredded by Apache gunships at the door.
Hemingway sits at one end of the bar, drinking daiquiris, eyes focused on faraway places, big fish, and revolutions,...

My Mate's a PrimateI have a friend who beats his chest
Who thinks he's tough, an ego blessed
He goes out clubbing, club in hand
Neanderthal romance, clubber lang.
He drinks banana daiquiris by the bowl
Experiments with chest wigs, an anthropoids soul
He apes around to attract...

Sixty Birthdaysmy first one spent in my birthday suit
warmed by a receiving blanket
after my tunnel chute
in my youth, gifts i remember —
small camera, parcheesi, Donny Osmond
album
i’d get to invite over
a special friend
for the night
i’ve had three surprise parties —
in Hawaii - friend dropped off early
so everyone...

Don'T WorryDont worry.
The world will never end.
Your love will cast no shadow.
Urges ripple over water.
A grave is hard and without messages.
The Family Bit, beyond measure.
Our bodies dice, shove, and cascade
While Rigor Mortis sells daiquiris
On the Esplanade.
Wishes do come true,
In the warmth and below the blue....

Drunken PlaygroundThe stars look pretty from down here,
Lying on my side.
This chicken doesn't want to hold me,
I'm too heavy for playground rides.
I'm not a child anymore.
At least I try.
Especially
After Strawberry Daiquiris....

A Squirrel's DreamI dream of spending my hibernation
on a coconut palm in the Caribbean
where instead of sleeping
morning, noon and night
I’ll be too busy
chomping down nutty peanut cakes
and sipping daiquiris of acorns and coconuts!...

Retirement PlanTaking my old Town-Car out for a little spin,
never suffer through rush hour traffic again.
Now we have time to see all those places we’ve never been,
baby I can’t wait for retirement to begin.
Me and my baby going for a Sunday drive,
only doing thirty-four in a...

dizzy laughsI had a dream.
I don’t remember most dreams.
I was cleaning the floors of heaven.
It seemed a mixed blessing,
I was in heaven, after all
but I was cleaning the floors.
It was a part time job,
I knew that intuitively.
I don’t mind house cleaning,
heaven cleaning.
It’s calm work, kind of...
