Noah heard the forecast and realised he must build an ark
It had to be impermeable for when they finally disembark.

They faced forty days and forty nights of torrential precipitation
Thank goodness Noah was constructing the ark for this situation

To invigorate Noah he could see the storm...

As a writer of fiction novels, I positively basked in my work,
Story ideas lived in my head, as blue stars at twilight lurk.

Yes, I was a successful writer, and had many zealous readers,
As vee shaped birds of azure skies, ever follow their leaders!

My life was...

Executive orders signing spree
  Quite a start for old JB

Killed off the jobs of myriad employees
  Put a chokehold on the oil industry

But in the name of his pitch for unity
  Lets look at JB's orders with impunity

Rejoining the 2015 Paris 'dialogue-ees'

'Twas Joy Quite Speakable

Beneath the springtime colors,
of azures sky light blue
Are chartreuse plumpish grapes that seem,
to dangle vines so true,

Nearby there lies a babbling brook,
that took our breath away,
Along its length hugging its sides,
were violets on display,

Behind them...

Quite Fragile

Quite fragile is the trusting breast
that gives completely all its faith
with belief in human goodness
that offers rather than it takes.

Easily it can be shattered
like crystal on a concrete floor
precious blood tie that is splattered
destroyed innocence at the core.

Quite fragile is the trusting smile
that goes...

Touching live wires can be quite electrifying
Not only will it kill you, it'll hurt while you're dying
You'll scream out bad words
Some I've never heard
As well as smell like something's frying...

You continue to impress me
With everything you do
And you can do most anything 
That you put your mind to
You truly are amazing
A tiger through and through 
And to top it off you're gorgeous
There's no one else like you...

There once was a girl named Miss Curry
Whose brows always caused quite a worry.
She went to the spa
To have them waxed raw  
And now they're not nearly so furry.

I quite like Haikus.
They are short and fun to write.
sometimes...they work out.

There is just something,
not the personality,
but something that works.

Sometimes they become
More than simply ordered lines.
They are poetry....

the man had a flat expression      and showed no emotion
     he seemed    disconnected   his movements bizarre
and his eyes lost     sometimes standing motionless

I am almost seventeen years old,
It is almost summer, and
My boyfriend and I are 
Kissing with the 
Lights off...
I tell him I don't want sex.
I wonder if this will be like
The time-

I am sixteen years old;
It's cold outside but
My boyfriend and I are 
Kissing with...

Every day I use my time
Writing poetry line by line,
Sometimes I can make it rhyme,
Sometimes....... I can’t.

My head is full of tum te tums
When I just want to write 
The serious stuff on big long lines 
like proper poets might

The words come out as simple...

When the mind stops, blank without thought,
It goes to a place of sanity sought.
For sanity is to chaos’ distain,
That place where silence and calm are gain.

It’s from this place of quiet and calm,
That peace can bring a healing balm.
As soothing as a soft cool breeze,
This...
