Best Fabulous Poems

Tell me
how did we get here 
at a swishing swapping party?
(The voices echo in emptiness) 

Bubbly cheerful and happy, naked and raw 
forever bachelors Larry and Harry, 
and the hot mom and the pool boy 
go flash dancing with dawn! 

Be warned, winkydinks 
I had...

Woke up to a new life in Egypt
I was young not more than seventeen years
Adorned with gold and precious stones
My body was in the shroud of silk and jewels in my hair
I sat on a throne as a Queen

My name was Cleopatra, Queen of the...

Oh no!  What are YOU doing here?
I haven’t seen you in a year!   
But I’m sure it’s perfectly clear,
I’m still red-dress fabulous, Dear!

You thought you could steal my spotlight?
You sauntered in like it’s your right.
But now you know, it's no fair fight—
I’m...

A cacophony of cats in my life.
Not one or two, but fifteen!
Each,who along with joy,
brought sadness and strife!
All shapes and sizes with grand
and most loving personalities.

The Maine Koone was the smallest
of all.
Maxine was pedigreed and came
home as a present for my daughter 
as a surprise,...

I met a fabulous beast today,
I met him in a zoo.
I was looking at a tiger,
And he was looking too.

Such strength and dreadful power
He carried with such grace,
And there he was behind the glass
And we were face to face.

A beast of such nobility
A king was...

I Love my Mother in law.

Phone rings
Ear stings

Door knocks
Nerve shocks

Come in
Large gin

Be nice
Head lice

Hair gel
Strong smell

Stale wee
Flows free

Stand here
My dear

Trap door
what for

Goodbye
Large sigh

In jail
Good tale.

IT’S ONE OF THOSE FABULOUS POEMS								 

It’s one of those poems
full of whimsical stuff
when you’ve read a few lines
you’ve had more than enough. 
it triggers a smile 
and it throws you off-track
you don’t want to read it
but keep coming back
it has no direction 
no themes...

EXPLANATION OF GOD:

One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.
He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier...

The "Awkward" Dancer

Dancer,
prancer . . . 

Spinner,
winner . . .

Stumble,
jumble!

Hit wall-
did fall . . .

Red face,
disgrace!

Applause -
- then pause . . .

I bow,
somehow !

Flakes sparkling 'round the lamppost's glow 
Floating softly on a windless night 
First snow watcher's- peep through the window 
Fading footprints white on white 
From midnight's stroller's- 'neath the light

Adventures In Wonderland-Condensed Version

Alice
malice

Rabbit's
habit

"I'm late
can't wait"

tardy
lordy!

deep hole
took toll

she fell
oh well

found note
I quote,

"Drink me"
it's free

too big
took swig

she drank
then shrank

ate cake
mistake

Hatter
chatter

treed cat
too fat

March Hare
he's there

Red Queen
so mean

beguiled
poor child

from shakes
she wakes

it seemed
she dreamed

amends
tale ends

I've toured the world and lived life hard,
Sordid tales I can not hide.
I've logged some miles,they're on my face
And in the baggage by my side.

I've made poor choices in the past.
Tried hard to let memories go.
But sometimes scars don't fade away,
They stay to help you...
