Best Rowena Poems
if Rowena's kuzzle was
the center of the Earth
he'd look for a shovel
she was an underpass hooker
exploited by a grim and grimy past
reckless as the day is long
a tourism so shameless
her own union set her on fire
I can't praise them enough
I advised her to talk to her real self
and got 5 blank staring minutes
basically because she didn't have one
only an extremely accurate echo
but she was a rebel and I loved her
kept her head lice population down
just so she could tell me the occasional
bedtime story on an empty stomach
hear now the legend of the Headless Man
once and a long ago
lived a man with no head
one of the many stigmatized gentry
in the long forgotten dairy maid uprising
somehow he could see hear and gesture
even though the neck was a pink nub
but he was hung like a meatloaf
making maidens titter at the village well
sighing rolling their eyes gasping flushed
um where was I
ah he fell in love
with the Bodiless Woman of course
knowing she could be of some use
it's a story of egregious assumptions
a belching sewer of lust and depravity
a juggernaut of rash political ambition
um where was I
ah in the village below
the holy men gathered
around Rowena’s oracle head
they came as the ancient test required
to run barefoot across the fire pit
at Detroit Jimmy's BBQ
the winner was a few inches shorter
from the victory tap dance
a ritual purification of the sense of motion
accompanied by stigmas and signs of wonder
Detroit Jimmy married Nub and Rowena
in a cabbage patch ceremony under the stars
wicked little boy went Row
on their wedding night mud bath
work me like your first bag of fries
went Nub in all humility
and they rode upstate in his Rocket 88
the road spreading gently
like a great pastry

"Thy wit is quick and capable thy rhyme
Conversant with my heart art thou and sly
Thou giveth words where I have never spoken
I swear against the truth so foul a lie
For pride and reputation hath thou token
My beauty's pattern idly sold to men
My Spirit, qui'tly dreaming, now awoken
Cries: 'Draw no lines there, with thy antique pen
Sir, I forbid thee this most heinous crime!
Though people see thee fair and thought thee bright
Thy art is black as hell, as dark as night!"
William Shakespeare (by ouija-board), commenting upon the work of 18 year old William Ireland who, in 1794, forged a great number of Shakepeare parafernalia, including a complete play; 'Vortigern and Rowena'.
This elegant form, called 'eleven', or 'onzine' was developed by the Dutch light verse poet 'Drs. P' (real name Heinz Polzer, born in 1919 and still going strong).
Rhyme scheme: abc bcd cda ee. The lines are usually in iambic pentameters.
a and b end with a stressed syllable, c with an unstressed one.
Muggle borns are not welcome in this providence or town.
I despise them totally, now that I am wearing Gryffindor’s crown.
Deemed myself the queen of the red and gold, courageous I am.
Inside Rowling’s novel, Hermoine and Ron are both a sacred friend.
Don’t say anything mean about Hagrid; he is my champion now.
Chivalry and determination are my mantras, said with a bow.
Voldemort, Voldemort, Voldemort! I scream, daring him to appear.
He Who Shall Not be Named is for me no bully to fear.
I attend Hogwart’s School of Magic, and I am great at the spells.
I leave Quidditch to Harry, as long as the Slytherins he fells.
Was that the golden snitch? I have to be on my toes for sure.
I am a muggle-born witch, but my intents are totally pure.
Hufflepuffs amuse me, with their loyalty and determination to work.
Witty wise Ravenclaws yes, but some of them are like Rowena, a jerk.
If I had been put into Slytherin with their colors of yellow and green
I would have been the angriest witch Hogwarts had ever seen.
Ivanhoe had just killed Sir Brian de Bois- Gilbert,
I watched him and felt the hilt of my sword,
perhaps I could change history without a word,
we spoke and he said that you can call me Richard.
I said that I was from the future and needed him
to dispose of Isis in the Middle East 2018,
he looked at me and said:' Would you wish
me to leave the Lady Rowena to do this task?
I said that I would because he was a winner,
we now needed to remove infidels and sinner;
we rode together - now I was in the book,
there was hope as far as you could look.
Those arrows would now be banging into the gates,
there was a chance we would rid ourselves
of fools everyone hates.
