Best Laurie Poems

Sank that Annie Laurie, down beneath those waves,
Took with her such fine young crew and not a life she saves.
Left there on the mountain,
Just the wives, the gals, the slaves.

Ne'er hunt nor e'er sing shall these lads so lost,
To mountain folk only known that which...

There once was a girl named Laurie
Who soon became a love quarry
But with not enough time
To ring her sweet chime
She wanted to live out a story...

Know a sweet Aussie lady with two first names
Her parents were the ones that were really to blame
Didn't read the rules
Had it tough in school
But my limerick will bring her fortune and fame

You've told me some great methods
That have worked out quite well
I want to say thank you
For being so caring
And I'm happy that I'm sharing
That you're my friend
And always will be 
For you are inside of me. ......

O!  Laurie-Jeanne, Laurie-Jeanne!  Belle of my Heart!
Why did you have to fly?
From me who sang you a lullaby,
From the hospital room, ‘neath the thundering sky,
Beneath the thundering sky!?

O!  I love my Laurie-Jeanne like the Sun,
Like the Sun, and all things Endless!
Like the...

Hey diddle diddle
We poets that fiddle
With poems that jump over the moon.
But sometimes we blunder
She still claps like thunder
And soon we are smiling a tune.
Like little Miss Muffet, 
Laurie Ginn on her tuffet
Brings smiles with each comment she's made
Collecting her wits,
With humorous bits
Jay Leno would...

When you closed your hand about my hand,
A shivering bud that hid within my heart
Began to open,

‘MEN do not have FLOWERS in their hearts!’
  I cried, in my mind,
‘CERTAINLY
MEN have LIONS!’

But the bud so softly nudged against my breast,
That I could not but pluck...

Eternally Lovely now,
The Bride of my Dream of Gold.
And rolling down grassy slopes,
Whose smiling heart ne’er grew old.

Eternally Helpful, too
The Braid in my burgeoned beard
That round my loquacity ropes
And sees that I’m rightly reared.

Eternally wise and kind,
The Bread of His Life and strength
The Child of...

My God!  I won’t see you lie down beside me,
Won’t see you wake, turn, watch the Christmas tree,
I won’t feel your thick hair between my fingers,
Nor hear your breath, as you sleep next to me.
The second Christmas seems to me, much harder,
The first, I...

Lindsay dear friend are you OK,
Australia is a long way away,
I’ll gladly paddle right across the pond,
If with a poem you soon don’t respond!...

FOUR

To obtain it, Laurie with her Dear Life paid,
She did not count the cost, as cowards do,
But gave her Heart, to be re-forged and made,
A Diamond Heart… Pure, Innocent and True…
Into a misericorde, blade meant to end
With Mercy, Dark Ones… Those whose Time has come
Who...

Her mother was walking the dog
Pursued by a pot belly hog
But in the fog
She kissed a frog
According to Miss Polly Wogg . . . ....

A young lady named Laurie McGee
She had an incredible crush on me
So long since besotten,
My name soon forgotten
She met up with Timothy McFee.

Nobody wants a well, when I am sad,
A few drops are enough to bring on rain!
This realm's sorrows -- enough to drive us mad!
Nobody needs the bottom of the drain!
I ask my heart, 'what new gift shall we bring?'
And then, I wait for answers in...
