Best Snooze Poems
snowflakes keep falling
under a white fluffy quilt~
the earth lies snoozing
10am means,
I awake at eight
quietly plotting my dreams
and at seven,
I barely exist
from six
-- & God, it's
much too early
& too late
to pick up these hours
like sticks,
and lug them home
tick tock tick tock tick beep beep beep
blerrggghh snooze tock tick tock
knock knock knock hurrghhh
ding dong ding dong beep beep beep beep beep
then silence except for the tweet tweet tweet of a bird on the windowsill.
why can't dreams last forever?
it's not too much to ask that i be left alone is it?
i just want to be alone nowadays
but then again why do i set the alarm?
My dearest one,
Where have you gone?
In these long days
I am bereft
Without your deft
Turn of phrase
To spark
My sluggish heart
From my verbose malaise
Are you upset, oh delicate
flower of finest select
Colors, who trickle
In fickle
Flame and fade
A sleight-of-hand shade
I mine fruitless lines
All which you bade
Too conveniently made
Sharply undefined
Is it me? Do I bore?
Are my attentions a chore?
I wish only this
To create words of bliss
But away you turn, as my implores
Thud, a dud, between your coarse snores
Maybe my flirty girl's
Creative cold snap
Just needs
Milk and cookies
And a cat-nap.

Santa Hits The Snooze Button
(For Christmas Cheer contest)
Santa woke up feeling fruity
The Mrs was spark out
He grinned cos in a minute
His Rudolph clock would shout
Whinny, whinny, moo, quack
Whinny, whinny, neigh
(How’s a poet sposed to know
What Reindeer clocks might say)
Even though his wife nowadays
Is lamb dressed up as mutton
He sees her how she used to be
So wallops that snooze button
So Santa’s got ten minutes
For undercover fun
Please excuse the metaphor...
He’s got a loaded gun
We’ve got a spare ten minutes
Come take your man to heaven
Well what we gonna do she said
With the other seven

The Russians have landed on Mars!
They can't drive American cars
But neither can we
Its the dust, you see,
Plus the fact that there are no bars!
Trump needs more support for golf fees
All cash donations he seize (sees?)
But oh what the heck
Your stimulus cheque
Will work just as well, if you please!
Whats going on?
Up at dawn
with a yawn.
Where am I?
Tell me why
I should try.
Why am I here?
Cavalier
for career.
Where’s the alarm?
Just disarm;
there’s no harm?
Can’t I just sleep?
Count more sheep;
it’ll keep.
I must have promised to diligently strive
to get up each morning by half past five.
Drink my java, watch the news, keep
things quiet and let her snooze..
Wash up at our bathroom sink but keep
the faucet trickling so she gets a full drink..
Serve her a chicken pate dish, never meat
and seldom fish..
If I'm met with defeat offer a few temptation treats.
Brush my tresses and her hair, bless her with
a St. Anthony prayer..
Once the sun is fully up, let her out to strut her stuff..
When I forget or show some slack, I'm actually snubbed
by my very own cat!
I'll be sticking with this cat's agenda, heaven forbid I
might offend her..
Santa Hits The Snooze Button
Santa went out last night dressed as mutton
drinking too much at the costume party.
Being a glutton woke up with a hearty
hangover.
He turned over
and hit the snooze button one more time.
Mrs. Santa gave him a cup of lime,
tomato juice, and beer to get over
the hangover.
Wake up. Wake up. Please wake up.
I can't. I stayed out too late with Buttercup.
I ate and drank until it I tossed up
all of my cookies and liquor sup.
Santa! Wake up. Please wake up
before the morn and children wake up.
Rudolph battery is running low
before it goes while it still glows
you need to deliver all the children's toys.
You're going to ruin the joy of the girls and boys.

Title Chosen: Santa Hits The Snooze Button
Elusive dawn of gray-white sky
And bedroom dim with haggard light
While we survive beneath our sheet
This dismal morn of winter’s plight;
Yes, leaves are fallen, nights veil soon,
We share our warmth as lovers do
‘Neath blankets piled, lush breast to chest,
We snuggle, buss, share “I love you”
As minutes pass through chilly air:
Rise not, sweet Love, until warm spring,
Let’s cuddle, cling, unite our souls
‘Til skies wash blue and robins sing.
When I sit down to watch the news,
I am always determined not to snooze.
At my age not much time in earth to lose,
To waste at all in an easy chair snooze.
Forever about oil spills on Fox news,
I sense myself falling into a snooze.
It seems our earth is destine to lose,
It’s been ten minutes since I’ve snoozed.
One day I’ll awake from a quick snooze,
From earth departing as heaven I choose.
For Contest: Your Snooze, You choose!

Placed #15
That was an extraordinary Christmas for Santa Claus,
his twentyfifth year of wintry journey without any pause.
He decided to make it a special celebration of gifting on his part
to the children adorably unique presents, he’d carry in the cart.
In colorful foils he packed with care the gifts through the night,
loaded them on the sleigh until the dawn’s first sunlight.
As on downy snow-laid track the reindeer led by Rudolf charged,
the chilling wind hit his face, made him aware he was so tired.
He spotted a bench under a tree while crossing the sunny park,
thought he deserved some rest after the night’s hard work.
He knew he would find ahead no other better place to choose,
so, he slumped on the bench, and soon slipped into snooze.
Rudolph heard loud sound, didn't know it was Nick's snoring bout,
got scared of the danger looming large, she had no doubt.
With loaded sleigh the reindeer ran away as fast they could,
leaving tired Santa to enjoy the frozen sleep in the wood.
At sharp sound of cracking trees under the burden of snow,
when he woke up fazed, reality to his senses came a bit slow.
On the trail engraved in snow he ran, caught the fleeing reindeer.
He was sure when he gave the gifts, him the children would endear.

Is this how I'm to perceive this?
Cuddled in an arm that feels distant.
Who are you anyway?
You come with a reassuring smile
though I feel an uncertainty
what am I to receive from this....regret?
I wake up to an intense feeling and I...
I am left unsure...
where's the meaning?
is there one?
should I be worried of reality?
