Best Dora Poems

Mommy went to bed early 
Asali stayed behind, partying the whole night long

Dora the explorer was on a repeat button
Asali jumped up and down like a button
She danced when Dora danced, sang along and answered Dora's questions 

Occasionally Asali would peek in to make sure...

I thought I was dying
But my mind was lying
So I must stop worrying
And I must stop crying

I must start jumping with glory
Because tomorrow they will all be sorry
They will all be packed in a lorry
And it will end like a fairy tale story

They will all...

Dora was my dinosaur
I'd walk her every day
But as I walked the streets with her
All the folk would run away

Oh, she looked so very scary
With teeth real sharp and great big claws
And yet, you know, she's such a baby
And her I really do adore

How she...

Dora and cheeku 





Charming pair of brave dachshunds,
Very possessive and stubborn,
Grew up with my only son,
Envious of my love for him,

Running around was a part of play,
Rolled and giggled the whole day,
Ignored if, they would sit in a corner,
With drooping faces of a mourner,

Day, burglars...

Sadness     tears


Agony        Pains


hate          Sorrow

Weakness  Restless


Emotions  Sleepless


Defeat   Loneliness.


Those are my fate,
Throw the stones 
Throw the clubs at ones,
Hurl it so hard, fiercely...

Strands of silver, tinsel fine,
Thin, flyaway,
Winged, widow’s peak
Widows’ weep
Bubba, Grandma, alone.

Up the dark tenement stairs
Cross tiny, tile squared floors
To the always open door…
Bubba, Grandma.

Aged, ageless, wiry, warm,
Open arms welcomed long tooth-grin
Gretel’s Grandma welcomes in.
Bubba, Ma.

Steel- spined, crow-eyed, soft skinned,
Gathered in, captured,
With the chicken bone.
The scent...

I
Dora was 82 this year
My onetime neighbor
Three years back
I was new again
From USA, I backtracked
She inspired me about Africa again

II
Jesus, she loved Thee well
We pray, shalom, live to tell
If an ordinary, great South African
Bye Tanie Dora, godspeed
You wanted to care for your needs
But Thatcher Home...

Dora the intergalactic explorer
Is traveling to the strangest planet
of all the known worlds

she is traveling incognito
with a video crew
making a documentary

the planet earth
is known as a planet
of intelligent monkeys

not much is known 
about them
as very few 
have ever been there

the inhabitants are...

First blush of Spring-Summer time,

A world awakening to warmth sublime,

Meadows burst with life anew,

Chasing away the winter's blue.


Morning sunshine, on dewy blades,

Nature's canvas, in shades of jade,

Clouds part to let the light shine,

And dispel darkness with a rhyme.


Blossoms stare up at the sun,

Celebrating life that...

I usually sit down with my tea,
And Dora not so far from me,
Her slava drooling from her jaw,
On command she'll raise her paw,
On occasion food will drop,
Dora the hoover cleans up the slop,
She eats for fun she's never full,
One big stomach she's like a bull,
And...

The news isn't good,
And I did not expect, 
Prognosis and results, 
When I got to the vet,
My heart hit the floor,
My head in my hands,
I've been here before, 
I need to make plans, 
DORA has got cancer,
Why her for god sake,
The dog I love dearly,
Is...

              Why can't Dora just give Swiper a break !
For heaven's sake, who made her the morality police ?

Maybe Swiper is just trying to get a little attention ?
Maybe Dora ruined his...
