Best Mcwhirtle Poems

A broken heart
Is like a cracked vase
Affection can't stay
Love left without a trace

Hurt runs deep
It needs healing & space
But true love prevails!
So powerful, you embrace

Sighed Adam to Eve:
“Because you were deceived,
Like a fool, I believed.
Sadly, all our conceived
Will be sorely bereaved.”

Well, that should be it, right?
No, boys and girls, not quite!

So you can hear what they were all up to,
We now bring this long lost tape to you:

Adam:

Fidgety fingertips
tickling tempo and time,
modeling melody,
writing in rhythm and rhyme.

Frolicking fantasy -
magic in music sublime.
Perfectly pleasing performance;
cleverly crafting the climb.

I won’t shop Black Friday
because I’m not ready
to fend for my life
in a scene rough and heady.

So call me a coward!
You won’t see me fight ‘em,
and risk getting maimed
for a much-desired item.

With humorous mind
Plucks spunky courage 
To write poop verses
Poems not abridge

To a complete gaffe
Loves stiff cockie pudding
A gentle soft soul
Nutty and charming

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three

Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see

Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee

Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality suffering
Sputtering, stuttering
Faster through brevity
Haiku for me

Where is the paradox?

I’m living the dream;
so grateful am I
for mountains around me,
green grass and blue sky.

Not all are so lucky
to have things they need:
great friends, food, and a home.
Wanting for more leads to greed.

Heaven’s delight
Brownies supreme
Whip up a bowl
Of peaches and cream

Reach for the sky
Launch a sweet dream
Hang all your hope bubbles
Across a cherry moonbeam

Can't you get it
Love is something that you are
If you sweat it
You're something else by far...

Noodles Noodleman knew
The cookbook through and through
Noodles Noodleman knew
He must teach Sally too

Alas, Sally withdrew
Cooking she could not do
She then began to brood –
What could poor Noodles do…?...

She looked in the mirror
and giggled with pleasure
to see that she wore
her old clothes from her teens.
But then she recalled
that she wore them in pregnancy -
laughing out loud,
she still loved her old jeans.

Walking under a burning sun
Listening evocative Christmas songs

Sweat furrows my motionless visage
Snow calmly is falling down

Alive drops dissolve my thoughts
A fresh breath gently stirs 

Walking straightaway still alone
Looking for a friendly crucial turn

Nobody matching my broken mind
What's hot? What's cold?

Deep down somebody is already here
Merry...

I’m really amazed by 
Romeo the great lover 
who boasted his greatness
of loving my friend Tess.

Oh, Gee! How hard it is 
for him to display his trademark
of love, for her 
in the presence of his wife....

Today we celebrate 
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.

It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget....
