Best Liz Poems
Once knew a lady named Liz
She could have made it in show biz
With the voice of an angel
She had me disabled
In a pop can Liz was the fizz

When Peg laughs like Liz
deep woman-hearted laugh
eating beef jerky on Mesa Verde
the good hearts and smarts of women
come back to me, not guessing
any better than they at the time what love
meant, leaving them behind in sandstone time
going to my own cement, sandstone
or good mountain grave
having seen the sharp-shinned and sparrow
hawk flying and at rest, not at peace,
seeking prey from a ponderosa snag.
I left my woman behind to float
alone down the long canyon for feathers
and signs, she's making camp
the moon half full, the sun half high
sky full of planets birds and stars
I look up from the rocks
elements
housekeeping, thinking
love that's learned to love
from earlier loves
laughs remembered, heard
in the laugh of the woman who is my wife.
Knew a wee hottie by the name of Liz
Who always knew exactly the way to give
More than routine
This sex machine
Made me freak out at the sight of her biz

Go Man, Go with Liz.
That girl's got so much whizz.
Say goodbye to sorrows
as she, borrows, borrows, borrows.
Our nation's fortune waxes
the more she cuts those taxes.
She relishes a fight,
not she some 'Maggie Lite'.
Macron and Putin shake and shudder
Now 'tis Liz who holds the rudder.
I still believe all politicians are not liars and dishonest
Though it is difficult to find those are consistently so
Those who will face harsh realities on election day
Dishonest peers will work together to see them go.
Right on, Liz Cheney! for standing up for what was right
Republicans turned their backs on her; she was ousted,
She stood like a beacon of justice against Trump’s big lie
Proving her words, what was right; it cannot be doubted.
Honest politicians have always been scorned by others
For they work on principle; for them, values are prized
And when confronted by their unscrupulous peers,
Most of them are not entirely taken aback or surprised.
Many honest politicians voluntarily return to civilian life
Eschewing the titles, plans, plush allowances, longevity
When they realize they are unable to make a difference,
Will trade the lifestyle of Washington for common decency.

Dedicated to my friend Liz:
Rays of sunshine shines over you
Giving a massive dosage of optimism
When the dark shadows menace
To turn you spirit upside down
It is not easy to live without
A loving husband and children
Specially in a society when
Silently you are seen as a misfit
When do not require the parameters
Stereotyped for decades for the ladies
Understand you perfectly, since I am
In the same situation as you are
Remember always, everything in life
Has a divine purpose, although not seen
Smile, shake off the dust, and celebrate life
Without any burdens that weigh you down

Once upon a time, Liz Unicorn,
was quite unhappy with her tiny horn,
and one sad, lonely day began to bawl,
cause horns of friends her age shot up so tall.
Right then appeared Fred Frog, portly and plump,
who jumped onto her smooth and shiny rump.
"Now please don't cry, Liz Unicorn, you see
your horn will grow and shine amazingly!
For now, it's using up growth energy
to make a sturdy base that sure will be
much better to support the best 'horn-crown',
for it will be the tallest one around.
You see some finer things take time to build;
be patient and I know you will be thrilled."
Liz turned her head to blow a thankful kiss
to kind Fred Frog who offered hopeful bliss!

She moved like a powerful jungle cat
With violet eyes and coifed raven hair
Her ruby lips matching her silken hat
Fleeting the breathless hoards without a care
Flowing taffeta and stunning diamond
She ruled the crimson Hollywood carpet
Perfect skin of beautifully tanned almond
Luscious figure men could never forget
Oscars lined her marble fireplace mantle
No man could quench her passionate bonfire
Nor Caesar or Antony could handle
Her grand legend will forever inspire
The most beautiful woman on the globe
She will always bear Cleopatra’s robe
Dedicate to Elizabeth Taylor
Liz Taylor
never married
a sailor, retailer
or a wholesaler
or divorced a bailor
or buried a tailor
or used an inhaler
or lived in a trailer
or dated Norman Mailer
or kissed a whale or
even was jailed her
whole life as a derailer
Going for a ride in my automobile
On this bright and sunshiny day
What a wonderful world we live in
Acting in our own love play
The starring role, I have top billing
Going to be a real block buster
Positive reviews will come streaming in
Offering all the roles they can muster
It's gonna feature a gorgeous new star
Stage name is Miss Liz LaRue
The darling of stage, screen, and laptops
She's also a great poet too
You'll fall in love with this seductive beauty
She's a charmer, a real class act
Featured on all the late night talk shows
But she'll never forget her Jack
So I'm going for a ride in my automobile
To reflect on my life up till now
Promising to be my happiest time yet
To top it, I'll never know how

Lizzy, ...easy,
that feeling that gets me dizzy.
J-nisi!.......so twas your love... Missy!
Hey!...liz..abeth, ...albeit i be sassy
still you be my friend,...no daunting fiend.
despite my complexities, my intricacies,...my multi-faces,
my spite, my laxities, in many cases,....and without basis.
without, they see the holistic me
however, from within you placate the caustic me.
the dye that tints and shades the blemished me.
the eye that sees and wards the erring me
see the polished me?
yes! she schooled me.
you see the handsome me
because she powdered me.
hush!...my crush...my blush...my "dutch"
she's stylish....she's posh
her elegance... a gush
and as such, i get as much.
may your heights be lofty
your bites..... a bounty,
always at ease like in mufti
looking sixteen even at fourthy
it delights me to the marrow
that we got no sorrow to nurse on the morrow
age gracefully
Anike, how she cares.
how she makes me stand and stare!
happy birthday my joy!
love you to the bone!
"Extraordinary" by Liz Phair is the best song I've ever listened to. It's considered a
lover's anthem song. This song is so sad, yet so strong, it's like one's heart has been
touched or dropped. Liz Phair has done a great song, releasing her latest single,
"Extraordinary." It's also as if two people are falling in love with each other.
"Extraordinary" has been the greatest song of all time since 2004, even when it was heard
in the movie, "Raising Helen," starring Kate Hudson. Boy, if I see Liz Phair in person,
I'd tell her what a female rock star she is and I'd also tell her that she had done a
great job, writing a song, Extraordinary," for her self-titled album.
There once was a lady named Liz
She could have made it in the biz
With the voice of an angel
She had me disabled
In a pop can Liz was the fizz
She's a pyrokinetic human woman
Her hallowed name was Liz Sherman
She's a fire starter, born in Kansas City
She learned her self-control from a monk society
Horrible visions plagued her dreams
Filled with wild ghosts and course screams
For, the guilt of her past haunted her memory
Like a shadow shrouded in baffling mystery
But her flickering flame of affection
Sparked great love in a soul with no emotion
The pyrokinetic woman found a heart like her own
To be with her in dusk and dawn
