Best Schema Poems
I am trying to relate to the strategy of rhyme,
Using words to titillate from the droll to the sublime.
Do I write "a rime that scintillates" to describe a ghost
Of frost? I consult the information highway hosts
Who assimilate rhyme-chimes on internet dot coms,
Those prime verse doctors granting aid so poems do not bomb.
I'll create a word-dance show to equate a tango's flow,
So solitude and fortitude and quietude must glow!
These multitudes of disciplines provost my attitude;
Will you, for faulty demeanor, please grant me latitude?
My aptitude to mutilate (a crime I must not boast.)
Is like a marmalade of brine upon my morning toast.
I ventilate and, then, deflate my inmost certitude;
This grime will grow in plenitude, a naughty turpitude.
I'd rather ev'ry word I post would jubilate the coasts,
Mime the scent of thyme about each lyrical outpost.
This roast of rhyme will blow ego and have me eating crow
If I don't quickly disappear, you know, vamoose and go.

"Iffin I woulda, iffin ONLY I coulda, WELL
some think I shoulda, that I misunderstooda
cause my brains made of wooda!" said Pinocchio.
"A toy's life's sublime without thought of rhyme
we dances ta chimes , we've plenty of time
an alway in our prime !" Pinocchio said.
"But, ta be a boy , the real McCoy"
he said real coy, I'd really enjoy
the Hoi polloi," said Pinocchio.
Gepetto sat with his wine as string he did twine
and pondered his line for he was kind,
then spoke his mind and he said ...
"My little wooda boy, now's notta the season,
we're freezin'listen to Papa's reason," he said
"God says it's treason and it's His laws we be pleasin'
so getta to your bed!"
Wood whittlin' rose spittle and words noncommittal,
he sighed, just a little
and said with voice brittle, "My son ...
Maybe tomorrow you'll sprout and I'll route
you a new pair of shoes to wear out and about
you'll be handsome no doubt."
The toy slept and Geppetto whittled.
Of the matter he prattered for he wished not to shatter the boys dream to tatters, he was
mad as a hatter, it seems?
The hall clock did chime midnight, a cricket didclimb
the workbench to chatter a soft mime sublime.
Gepetto did not notice at least for some time!
Jimmy Cricket was his name; he told old Geppetto
a wee green sage from a Golden book's page
and the meadow. [They were the rage!]
They helped to make boy toys for life on the stage
and this is how Pinocchio's life was engaged!

Select All Scenes from MyLife
Where Memories like ‘shining stars’
And In between MyHopes and Fears
Or not Forever in (‘my’, ‘dreams’)
VIEW THROUGH as I DREW, my darling HUE: color BLUE
TRY to FLY HIGH! HIGH! then greet HI to fluffy SKIES;
Don't SPRY, don't be SHY! Be SLY pass BY with one SIGH;
My darling HUE: color BLUE; VIEW THROUGH as I DREW.
To feel THRILL be STILL as you SAIL; TRAIL the TALE of blue WHALES
In blue OCEAN, see WOVEN MOTION, CHOSEN shots a GOLDEN TOKEN
A NUMBER SHUTTER of the HUNTER is a THUNDER WONDER for LOVERS
TRAIL the TALE of blue WHALES to feel THRILL be STILL as you SAIL.
THREE SHE AGREE as EMCEES to SEE the deep blue SEA.
Feelings so GLEE 'cause it's FREE, excited together they FLEA!
With their KNIGHTS, the HEARTY gals PARTY all NIGHT long
To SEE the deep blue SEA THREE SHE AGREE as EMCEES.
One and TWO but time FLEW; many CLUES I KNEW I GREW
OOH! There are FEW BLUES I want to STREW and BOO.
OUGHT for TAUT FOUGHT, DROP SHOT NOT to be DISTRAUGHT.
Many CLUES I KNEW I GREW, One and TWO but time FLEW.
HIDDEN in ZEN's GARDEN DEN, There TEN blue butterflies beauty GEN.
DANCING while playing then TEASING and KISSING all roseBUDS.
No blue DRUGS but BLOODS afire with some BUGS all did RUB.
There TEN blue butterflies beauty GEN, HIDDEN in ZEN's GARDEN DEN.
Despite RAINY DAYS, SHAKY KATIE delivered her blue BABY SAFELY.
God, she PLEASED as after SURGERY, LADY KATIE'S AMY join the NAVY.
Her DISEASE neither FREEZE nor CEASE her KNEES;
SHAKY KATIE delivered her blue BABY SAFELY despite RAINY DAYS.
VIEW THROUGH as I DREW, my darling HUE: color BLUE
My darling HUE: color BLUE; VIEW THROUGH as I DREW.

Once in Hong Kong I sang a song
Chong ‘n Wong pulled along
Choir it became strong
Lifelong those throngs now belong
Once I was assigned to refine a mime
I pined to realign the divine design
Couldn’t shine it brine ‘n it was supine
Was left to whine, wine and dine
Once Jack ‘n Black couldn’t crack a sack
I was called back to pack them whack
‘n search for Mac ‘n Quack in the track
To attack the remaining knick knack
Once jolly Dolly wanted to lick a lolly
She waited for the lolly trolley with Polly
Trolley was stolen by Ali the smalley
Dolly realized the folly, went without a lolly
Once a teen queen preened the greens
She cleaned the beans to feed the knight
The knight in jeans came in to glean the creame
Both sat in the canteen to have plenty caffeine
