Best Lily Livered Poems

Alliteration always awesome
Ballad beyond barnyard basics
Crystalline calls careful consonants,

Diamante delivers deeply
Enthusiasm excites eager ears,
Fanciful frolicking faerie

Generously gives grateful glee
Hyping haiku to heavenly heights,
Imagery and imagination

Jubilantly jumping joyfully,
Kimo kindles king-sized kingpin,
Lamenting the lily-livered lunacy

Momentous muse modulates melody,
Necromancer normalizes Neverland,
Opulent Opalescent orchestras opt

To pollute poetry previously pristine.
Quixotic...

With a hearty laugh, and scallywag's glee
I've acquired their riches, and conquered the sea!
Like a timid lass... they will turn, and flee
showing their backsides, to the likes of me!
Lily livered, they're fearin' my brand!
Shiverin' they be,  till they're walking on land!

Arrgg!! shouts first mate,...

I should have looked before I leaped
now I have been left in a lurch
by my lily-livered boyfriend,
but I'll have the last laugh
when he see his laundry
in a lovely shade of pink.

In slumbering slope they lay, 
their gaiety snores in rhythmic peaks of cadences,
The lily livered japes 
Kings from central castings,
Heroes of one hour, 
jostling  for President with mere words      
Resigned  to bed now, save one. 
Cowards, afraid of...

The dark of the night sky: clear, unlimited space
Lights and a bright white moon, of clouds no trace
The mood suddenly changes, the lights are faded
The vault of heaven is raided, the azure invaded

Realization in a flash, the barren moon stands abashed
Now fainthearted, lily-livered, her quiet...

HOCUS BOGUS, BOGUS POCUS!
A hex on the dryers of you who owe us
A pox on your socks never to be found
Unwound and pulled down underground
I voodoo better than you do, and you'll rue
The day you walked my way because I knew
If I'm toil and trouble,...

Lily livered lint of a lizard, let him be called
In pious protest of his primevel name
He who in the spinning sun our death installed
Made history mere cinder for the flame
Why mark me with mortality for your material rage
What treasure in life's flesh yet I cage
He...

Women rush their cooking
Children talk in whispers
Nursing mothers put the babies to sleep
Darkness descends on the land
The winds are becoming aggressive
The buzzing is getting louder
Like a cockpit;
The ant holes are opening
From them the Akpali spirits are emerging
Their sight makes women miscarry
Make the children to convulse
The...

The sky trembles, 
the trees aflame, 
naked under the spotlight, 
but they are not the dancers... 

It is those innocent strangers, 
shuffling like Kings and Queens upon the deck, 
and I, the joker in the pack, 
plot with the trees, 
all of us about to...

SNOWSTORM



Now the wind’s invisible hand
Can be seen across the land
With finger, arm and wrist 
She’ll grasp and she’ll twist
The airborne masses swirled  -
Those princes of the icy world  -
And wrestle them to the ground,
Piled in  a  graceless mound 
Together, where they...

A weather wizard
    delivered a blizzard
      to Chicago yesterday

    If I weren’t so lily-livered  
    I’d have torn out his gizzard
      ~ right away...

What activates my reflex arc
And causes me to shiver?
Which stimuli come into play
To set my nerves aquiver?

At home alone at dead of night
A creak will make me skittish.
My lower lip begins to drop
In fashion quite un-British! *

And should I inadvertently
Whilst in the garden walking,
Be tickled...

Goliath was a big threat to Israel
A giant with intimidating records 
Of military prowess which turned Israelite soldiers 
To a bunch of faithless cowards
And to an army of lily livered derelicts
As they capitulated in fear 
And let the sleeping dog lie
While Goliath had his fill
Threatening...
