Best Parlour Poems
Ice Cream ParlourSo many flavours to choose from,
My licking tongue can't wait on,
Toppings applied, build it high,
My taste buds about to cry,
To my mouth, it'll soon be gone....

Come Into My Parlour - a Collaboration Between Arlo Parker and the Mean GirlsHer name was Susan and she was breathtaking.
She could spin a poem into a spider’s web strength and ethereal wisps.
I was smitten beyond reason.
Captured by lust quickly tuning toward love.
Then the however happened.
However, Susan was adept at spinning a gossamer web
Silently,...

Ice Cream Parlour 1I went to the ice cream parlour
At one of our seaside resorts
And I wanted an ice cream
But, well, there were allsorts
“Knickerbocker glory sir?”
The ice cream mans retorts
“Yes I do enjoy a certain amount
Of freedom in these shorts”...

Ready to begin construction of its intricate web
With each weave of silk the web slowly took shape
A web from which insects would seldom escape
With its web all completed it took center...

Miss Catherine's Grand ParlourA feeble old woman lives down the hall,
we chat on occasion.
I indulge her constant kvetching of youthful occupants invasion,
since this erstwhile hotel's trendy loft conversion.
Crook'd finger and conspiratory whisper

She tells of the latest spat between two male lovers living next door;

Pets ParlourInfinitesimal, wooden, musty cages
Beautiful, multifarious birds
Silently weep and perch

No joy, no...
