Best Shady Poems

You can probably tell I've always been inspired by Slim Shady 
By the way I rhyme words and the fact my pen's crazy
I'm the equivalent to Jason Voorhees listening to the Marshall Mathers LP with a pen in his hand instead of a Machete 
This...

And the cemetery was fresh and vivid green 
when we took our bikes down the paths of it -
past stones and trees and mausoleums and grass as far as we could see,
carefree on that muggy summer afternoon,
perspiration glistening on our arms and on our faces
as...

Wherefrom poetry shades recall,
and the other side of yesterday
is but a dreamt hallucination,
can't see the foliage from trees'
darkly forested boundaries,
insofar as frivolous moonbeams 
agitate sun's glorified imagism 
'midst hues of baubled madness
& vaporous sentiments are replete
within day-trippers' remote motives,
shadowing delusional chicanery
of rosé-tinted Jedi mind tricks...

SHADY LADY   
There once was a lady who loved to face the sun
      Following it as it crossed the sky,
Particularly between the hours of eleven to one.
      But  no one could figure...

There once was a lady named, Sadie.
Whose past was a little shady.
She once shot a man.
Who did not understand.
Difference of no and maybe....

Did summer never really come
Or did I just not notice
Seasons feel the same to me
Locked inside your fortress
There's never leaves upon the trees
Yet you're cold enough to snow
No springtime buds of promise
As beneath you, nothing grows....

The fable man palms do perspire,
Knees inadequate,
Limbs do joxtapose in overabundance.
Purge grazes over the fable man's vestments.
Mother's Italian vermicelli....

I know its the summer time because of how naturally 
Your beauty compliments the caress of a summer breeze
As I watch the world from beneath a shady tree
I take in the delightful comfort of everything I see
But in the same breath I am holding up...

An icy chill descends on 13 Beaver Veil Cottage as sisters Ester and Ellie walk gingerly up the steps on this wet and windy night.
This once charming pied-a-terre was now in a final phase denouement.
The trees surrounding this house creak ominously overhead as tangled electric...

My pain is invisible 
But my tears are burning my eyes 
One day I'll forget 
One day I'll smile 
I know someday I'll meet you again 
But today I'm crying your absence a river 
In my shady castle....

I KNOW A LADY WHO IS SHADY
SHE ALWAYS STAYS IN THE GRAVY
HER MOUTH STAYS MOVIN', HER WORDS ARE CONFUSING
SHE'LL NEVER LEARN HOW TO STOP MIXING
NON FICTION AND SELF CONFLICTED ADDICTION;

SHE'S TOO HOT FOR THE SHADE
HER TONGUE IS A BLADE
THAT CUTS HER COMIN' AND GOIN';

I HEARD...

There once was a pant-less lady
she sure was rather shady
now spied by two grandee's
they pulled down their braces
and gave her lots of brandy
making this lady so bawdy


for David and Debbie...

Just a saggy-sad dumbfounded Basset Hound
Got claimed at the doggone-it lost puppy pound
Just hangin' out now and nosing around
Waiting for my supper to get back from town
Hooray! A dog's life for an ole' English lass

Can't hear very good, my rep's rather jaded
Sprawl out by a...

For the crime of whining, guilty as charged
But this shady lady's tactics need to be barred
Unfair they are
Lured me into her car
Used me for bumpity bump, my reputation is scarred

I rest below shady tree

Pink blossoms

Fall on me

 

The shade, so sweet

Shelter from this heat
I look upward

To the tree

Pink blossoms

Fall on me

The place to be

The place for me

 

Shady tree

Made for me

Leafy shades,

Never fades

 

Pink blossom,

Drifting down

Lifts my frown

Pink blossom

From the tree

Falls on me

 

Shady...
