Best Jitterbugging Poems
Titillating TwentiesFlirting 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 MicThe 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 ThenYesterday 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...

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 MorphologyIncrementally corporeal essence, here

Get Out of My Head Mister ChatterboxGet 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 ReflectionOngepatshket 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

Rhyme
A Sincere Distrust of FigsIn 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...

Cdefghij PoemCuriously 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...

Frog Hoppers DanceFrog 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...
