Best On Writing And Wordsfunny Poems
Chastushkas
I would love to write a poem as hilarious as could be.
But it seems like funny poems will not come out of me.
So I practice my Chastushkas in hopes I will succeed.
A better sense of humor must be what I need.
I wish that I could buy one, but they are not in the store.
I have searched dictionaries and thesauruses galore.
I have looked along the freeway and down the country roads
But the funny inspirations seem to hop away like toads.
There are so many writers that have a humorous touch.
And I wish I had it, too… very much.
I guess I must remember to write down the funny things I see around.
Like the time I saw kids rolling, laughing wildly on the ground.
But until then, I’ll use my pen to hone my funny bone.
Writing those Chastushkas until I do not laugh alone…

Poetic form: Couplets
The girth, the beginning of what’s worth wanting
On second thought, Is it worth wanting?
“Rigmaroling” absurd as you return to find out that
It’s right here where you left it
Isn’t it funny that what you’re looking for is right where you began?
Again on third thought, It’s not funny as you spent the whole night searching
Now you’re wondering what you’ll do tomorrow morning
As you regret the energy lost burning while you searched earnestly without a warning.
