Best Jitterbugging Poems


Premium Member Titillating Twenties
Flirting flappers
Whipper snappers

Prohibitions
Big restrictions

Legs are showing
pearls are Swirling

Charleston’s harking
Lovers sparking

Dancing Lindy
With Miss Mindy

Jitterbugging
Afterwards hugging

Raccoon coats
Rowing boats

Bathtub gin
Fun never ends.

Playing the Dozens

Your mama said my mama
was blacker than burnt white toast
My daddy said your daddy
was a vanilla, rice cake loving Oriole
Your brother said my brother
was a jive, jitterbugging jigaboo
My sister said your sister
was a nappy head, big lip snaggletooth
Your best friend said my best friend
was an...

A Night With Mic
The scent of musty, truly ancient fine books,
Waifs seductively behind the impossible doors, 
As they swing wide, out into L.A.’s balmy air,
I enter, a shiver, over what lies therefore.

There they are, the true Hollywood stars,
Scaling the walls as only starlets can do,
Boasting of their love...

Let It Be Then
Yesterday brought not a storm, 
But a suffocating stillness.
Everything stopped.  
My throat grew dry.  
My bones began to ache.  
The silent but constant rhythm of my little world seized.

Everything stopped.
Then in exactly two more beats came my tears.
Torrents of heavy rain, 
Glossing...

Dancing With the Spirit Part 2
The Spirit of the Lord is not mentioned often in the Holy Scriptures 
But if you read the book of Acts you will get the full gospel picture 
Of the power of the Holy Spirit and what It can do
Of the power that God has...

Honey 
My foot is taping
It’s been a while
I figure it’s gotta be almost
An hour

Baby
You know you 
Drive me crazy
How you do it
Constantly
You tease my eyes
It’s no surprise
Your naughty smiles
Make me so ravenously hungry

Aw come on baby 
My heart is jitterbugging
It’s been a while
At least...

My Changed Body Morphology
Incrementally corporeal essence, here

tire of mine, doth elicit despair

rubble flabbiness a glare
ring anatomical feature, I swear

shape shifted into a dare

Get Out of My Head Mister Chatterbox
Get Out Of My Head Mister Chatterbox!

Upon prima facie first blush
me mind's eye all atwitter,
sans long forgotten
"FAKE" sexual exploits
set mum (chrysos anthem) all aglitter,

boot like short order cook I hapt tubby
quickly realized trumpeting collusion,
a near fatal collision course
with Matthew Scott's antimatter
caw zing friggin insomnia

Ongepatshket Torqued Skewed Reflection
Ongepatshket torqued skewed reflection

drawn courtesy lots of byte size chalk.

When e'er I summon fat chance
to empower me self with courage 
and steal a passing glance
in the mirror then instantaneously 
hairline fractures appear
than 'afore long 
snap, crackle, pop
becomes crystal clear,
whence aluminium glass mirror

Premium Member A Sincere Distrust of Figs
In every apple, an atom resides; 
in every Adam, an apple abides. 

So it goes and goes, apples 
toppling off tables in rhythmic waves, 

falling through slits, convincing themselves 
they are particles instead.

Whether in a pie or the depths 
of your eye, it remains a...

Curiously creative critters crowded confused Crystal
Deliberately demanding diverse diagrams during depression
Eliciting extra enthusiastic energy entertaining elves 
Formulating fresh flippant flares for Freddie
Giving generous gifts, gallivanting gleefully
Heartily having healthy hopes helping Henry
Igniting imagination inducing interesting investigations
Jealous juicy jazzy jabberwocky jitterbugging...

Premium Member Frog Hoppers Dance
Frog hoppers dance by the brilliant light of the moon.
The jitterbugging is lively and some of them swoon.
Two get carried away. One of them tries to spoon.
The other frog pushes her away, as he does a loud croon.

There is a howling wail of a meadow...
