Tea With Some Folks
The wind came, and sat on his chair
As flowers bloomed here and there
We sat with the sun, and had some tea
The wind invited too his wife, the breeze

The trees danced, with the autumn air
As the sun sets, with a yellow glare
The smell of mud, just...

Hey Poetrysoup Folks-
I picked "cinqku" because I don't know 
what form that is, and I'm too lazy to
look it up; but if you've ever read any
of my poetry you should know I don't
want to lead anyone down a particular
path, but just that you read into what
you want...

Premium Member Black Folks Got Rhythm
Black folks got rhythm
full movements
undeterred, and
flexible as four winds.
How low can we go?
with limbo
it's in our hands
with early rising;
planting seeds of joy,
washed in ray of hope -
we dance on sturdy grounds
with gems to unearth.
The whole world watch and wait
what instruments of weight and
measure will bring...

Premium Member Magical Folks
With a step and a stumble and a kick of the heels,
My mind launches from the peak of the hill,
And I fly high through the clouds, without any wings, 
With no idea, no plan and no skill,

Still my mind is relaxed, a paper boat that’s...

Old Folks Are Worth a Fortune
OLD FOLKS ARE WORTH A FORTUNE

Old folks are worth A fortune
With silver in their hair, gold in
Their teeth, stones in their kidneys,
Lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs

I have become more social the passing
Of the years. I’m seeing five gentlemen every day
As soon...

Golf Rules For Old Folks
I found a way of enjoying Golf,
when you're 80 plus years old!
It isn't rocket-science,
so listen and behold!

First of all, stop keeping  score,
it's important that you do!
Counting strokes, makes no sense,
for someone old as you!

The fact you even swing a club
and go from tee to...

Premium Member Elderly Folks
Old elderly folks
They believe in them God
They have given up on the young girl inside of them
They motto is  
“Praise the lord
Blessed be his name
 Amen”
They read the bible ever passing hour
Saying words like 
One good day I will meet the maker
the heavenly father...

Hiya Folks

Hiya folks, I’m here, not sure
For days I have been trying
To break the code of techno door
With which I have been vying 

I did quite well, at the start
I passed the log in stage
But then it seemed to fall apart
Not sure if its my...

Say it, damn it,

Amazing some folks don't believe in science
They say that global warming is not real
But in their quest for oil, form an alliance
Because it has the power to reveal
If you're like me, you're thinking, "What a heel!"

Thats All Folks - Porky Pig
Porky Pig has a stutter,
Oh how people did laugh.
Cos his farewell "that's all folks"
Could last a minute and a half.

He had such a problem
Hi sttttt uuu ttttt err  got worse,
That they introduced a sidekick
Daffy Duck was such a curse.

He overshadowed poor Porky
Which made him...

That's-That's-That's All Folks
That's-That's-That's All Folks
By Roy Merritt

There’s a little guy ‘round here 
with a red mustache three feet long
And there’s no one about it seems 
with which he gets along

He’s always angry it seems 
and often pullin’ his gun 
He’s always shoutin’ and cursin’ 
Might shoot you...
