Best Louise Poems

A  circus performer – Louise -
while swinging mid-air by trapeze
missed the bar; it was grim.
What a pity for him!
He had the misfortune to sneeze!

The night is brimming with lake water fully moon-laden.
Sparkles and dashes of diamonds clutter her surface.
I am delighted at the prettiness of the outlying forest.
Surrounded by beauty that enhances my glorious mood.
 

We fell in love with temporary aspects of this forest glen.
Inspired to have...

Majestic mountains rise like mounted men,
Their faces chiseled from the rugged stone.
The evergreens enveiling all the glen
Ascend in gowns of green, but leave a crown
Of jagged peaks, where shimmering glaciers groan,
And tears they shed glide gently ever down.

Above the jade-like waves of Lake Louise
The sunbeams...

Of the places of wonder,  to travel and wander
I would return once again to the chasms of time
Banff National Park is the jewel in the crown
On the rim of the world where pure silence is found
and the edge of a glacier where white peaks...

There was a girl called Lovely Lou, 
She never seemed to know what to do.
Many thought she was a fool, 
‘Til, she said the jokes on you; 
she had filled their boots with crazy glue!...

ESTHER ARBUTHNOT--1875 From Her Ancient Photograph
While the rain is falling gently on the roof it makes the sound,
of a time that's long forgotten, though it seems to hang around,
I can hear you breathing lightly from an Irish dream I've known,
it has come to Pennsylvania where...

There was a young man in a pickle
His girlfriend Louise was quite fickle
When the test came out blue
She told him it's not you
With others I played slap and tickle

The lusty octopus Louise
Loved giving young sailors the squeeze

With her tentacles great
She could satisfy eight

Leaving all hands on deck with large hickeys...

I usually don't talk about rainbows.
I'd rather talk about farmers or crows.

But if you pierce a rainbow, does it not bleed?
Into one color, for every intention, desire, and need?

Brothers and sisters and cousins and nephews,
I care not how descends your Muse.

Listen to the string meant...

LAKE    LOUISE



Early  April   is  a  preview  of heaven
And  my  sin-soaked soul is  forgiven
At  Lake Louise.    I offer praise fulsome
To the breeze,  unladen by debt or ransom.


A few early...

Louise would you please,
Sneeze in your elbows sleeves.
Geez Louise, don’t even wheeze.
Louise, seize it at the knees.
Louise do not sneeze a breeze.
Be at ease, no spreading disease.
Louise your body has the keys.
Maybe you’re allergic to bees.
Please Louise, stay still; freeze.
Louise, you are blowing cheese.
Louise, be...

Louise Myers

1896-1917

They shot the Archduke,

And my eyes closed in disbelief;

They sank the Lusitania, 

And my heart palpitated.

My friend, this world reels and tumbles and faints,

Lost in endless crises and disasters;

Aghast at the senseless violence and mayhem.

The War To End War commenced,

As I terminated this futile...

Twerking secretly
Ruckus is heard
Immediately 
Stripping for my 
Husband 

Laughing 
Out loud with the 
Underdogs
Is cool and 
Sexy 
Enough to be a hero...
