Best Question Mark Poems

THE QUESTION MARK


Our life-
A question mark it is-
Struggling 
Into an exclamation point
To turn
But
After numerous battles against
A series of: 
Commas 
Semicolons
Colons
Brackets and
Dashes,
Exhausted;
Ends up-
In most cases-
A…period "." to 
Be.

Salome just loved gingerbread
But Herod misheard what she said
Who wants a dead head
To bounce in their bed?
So she dashed to the John instead

More Beautiful With Age?

Do men grow more beautiful ageing?
It may not be fair but seems true,
Some process that’s secretly working
To bring a man’s heart into view.

And women seem openly jealous,
Divining miraculous change,
While counting their wrinkles and skin flaws,
Anticipate worse things downrange.

The male’s role though does...

(Monkey Shines on Typewriter)

Monkey dreams, sex, more sex,
Banana nice too,
Once in a while!
Tastes better though
When cute butt peels for me
Too much rain,
Smell like stale carpet
Who will groom me now?

Something big comes,
Sure not stinky me!
Haul my ass up tree!
Dominant males
Chest thumping braggarts
Really stink I think!

Whoo Whoo...

Why do so many

Limerick(question mark)


Jack asked Jill out on a date
Jill felt that with their names it was her fate
Jack splurged and took Jill to Dairy Queen
For his favorite chili-cheese-onion, foot long
Gaseousness Jack had not foreseen

Despite the crappy meal, 
Jill enjoyed Jack's life lived with zeal
The couple started...

There once was a foxy young poet,
With a lawn and no one to mow it.
So she rustled some ewes,
And then ate them in twos -
And as for the grass, she’ll re-grow it....

Homage to Catalonia?

Policeman wielding batons or shedding a welled up tear,
Flag waving populace or staying home in fear,
State defence of self, or defending an historic lie,
Should we pay homage, or should we just weep and cry?

Turning out to vote, or disobedient serf,
Democratic abuser or defending...

Write a poem of love? 
 Aye, aye, aye.  
 (Sigh) 
 I'll try.... 
 It's like trying to recall a violent crime. 

 Describe the incident.
 Details, be specific. 

 My body shakes. 
 Tears flow uncontrollably. 
 Who did this to me?...

"What is truth?" Pilate plainly asked, 
 if a relative lens is one's looking glass. 

 What's right for you is different for me. 
 We haven't the same perfect eyes to see. 

 Do we seek to define our own, 
 when who could...

The two for one price deal read “Open here”
with slick dotted lines and sharp arrows clear.
But false perforations
foiled nails, teeth and patience.
Surrendered, she opted for pop tab beer....

Welcome to this "risk"-taking game of "life."
Choose a blue companion peg, or snag a pink wife,
or ride "solitaire" through this "scrabble"d "mousetrap,"
or add so many kids that they stack on your lap.

Enjoy the terrible twos and the "crazy eights,"
for they go by faster when they're...

What love means when there is no trust in love, 
What trust means when there is no understanding, 
Your the first person I know with a smile, 
A smile of yours make me melt, 
Beginning with happiness, 
Middle with hurtness,
Ending with a question mark, 

I...

Can you hear the water in the creek,
Can you see the tears that stain my cheek,
Can you feel the pain that I can’t speak,
Can you?

Can you appreciate my art,
Can you divine what’s in my heart,
Can you imagine us apart,
Can you?

Can you breathe me, just inhale,
Can...
