Best Honked Poems

The Haunted House

An aging Victorian graphite three story house sat on a 
promontory, lonely, deserted, weathered and forlorn.
Broken windows showed signs of cruel abuse from
passersby amused by throwing rocks we surmised. 
This skeletal shell of a one-time elegant beauty
became a welcome refuge for my sister...

Life was so carefree for me as a child, way back when
I was just a little girl who loved to dream and pretend
that I would grow up to be a doctor's nurse and mend
those who were hurt and sick. Their needs I would tend.

Way back...

Jack was sitting poker faced 
With bullets backed by bitches.
Neal hunched at the wheel 
Puttin everyone in stitches.
He was braggin 'bout 
This nurse he'd screwed, 
While drivin through Nebraska. 
Said that when she came,
She honked the horn, 
And Neal just barely
Missed a truck 
And then...

I accidentally let one loose
A ripe for roasting, fattened goose!
The ganders in Orwellian mode
Honked out the news in gaggled code.

Rash Farmer Giles, blood red with rage
Would not be easy to assuage
And goslings flapped their wings in fear 
As if to say ‘Get out of here!’

The...

I stand alone in a black and white city
As the smog blends with the picture
I imagine colorful, plentiful sustenance
And look upon filth…

And when the speeding cars honked those relentless horns
I awoke, in a flourishing dream
My eyes opened
It was bright and dazzling
There was joyous birdsong
Yet there,...

Long, long ago in a village called Sun
Tales were told and stories were spun,
Near a campfire where sweet meats were cooked
And everyone listened whilst Mr Moon looked.

The Owl and The Pussy Cat the wise man had told
That story was dear and worthy of gold,
Cinderella was...

The Itemized Bill

An elderly gentleman told me a story today
I just couldn't resist recreating it in rhyme
and share it with all of you. Thanks for reading

Like those he'd bought before
A grin he wore from cheeks to chin
While he made...

I woke in the backseat ‘cause sleeping is what I did - -
I hid when we had a many state, family vacation ride.
Daddy said that this time, we would drive straight thru five.

Mama’s hair back was smashed headrest flat cause Sis
pressed against her and they...

In the elm outside my window, roosts a mysterious bird.
I listened as he squawked and fluttered. This is what I heard,
"If God had given you wings, would you fly away with me?"
To have wings and fly like a bird? What a gift that would be!

He...

My fantasy man – I will always remember him
and how stunning he looked that day
outside my apartment building – tall, dark-eyed, and slim,
and wearing skin-tight levis. Oh, the flirty way
he looked me up and down, intentions clear! Yet not one word did he say.

His friend...

We are sick to think we have done something big.
We are in a daze and nothing more.
The cats that came were deformed.

They legs were made to dance.
They pantomime.
The rigmarole was a silent scream.

In the first flight of several young geese, in the migration going south…
The Elder goose honked time to go, and several young ones wouldn’t come about.
They knew everything. And could, naturally, do everything better on their own.
The Elder knew they’d fight as fiercely for their...

      Her name is Miss Pitty Patter.
      She's the concrete goose outside. 
      She's quite a fashion statement.
      as she adorn the stoop with pride

At first sight of first snow colour 
Scrapbook memories stir with folk within
Where spirits of love, caring, and sharing were
Whispers of our life we shared, brings wet tears that blur
Of the old farmhouse toasty and warm within-doors
Stipend oak wood was fed into its heart to...

They locked eyes. Engines revved and roared.
When the light flashed green, tires screamed across the pavement,
other horns were honked, and a cup of Coke
flew across the lane divider into the lap of the second driver
even as the car of the first driver veered off
into a...
