Rhyming Doubles On My Muse's Stern Command

He who Lives, to green woods explore
and bathe in glowing moonlit streams
shall find his Love, begging for more
than pale ghosts in late midnight dreams!

She who his hot passion bestirs
in its fires, warms her eager heart
asks not for gold, diamonds...

Premium Member Nature's Stern Warning
Extreme temperatures
Melting of glaciers 
Rising sea level
Wildfires
Forests' obliteration
Draughts
Drying up of lakes and rivers
Desertification 
Hurricanes
Storms
Floodings, and
Landslides 
Is the vocabulary, Mother Nature uses, to
Pen ts stern warning to Man:

" Oh, you thoughtless being, mind your ways and revere, 
my eternal laws of harmonious cooperation and coexistence
otherwise, unable...

Premium Member She Was Stern There
She was stern there looking at me
Not quite a pout, almost angry
Her hair, wild, is loose all about
She keeps it stringy and spread out
Her eyes burning with fire, deadly

Heart bleeds seeming a mystery
Red between lips is what I see
Protruded out with a fine pout
She was...

We Had a Democratic System and Judges Stern But Just
So, I’m the last survivor of a breed that ruled the world!
Brrr! It’s getting mighty cold.
I suppose we can’t complain though. Our innings was quite long.
Brrrr! It’s getting mighty cold.
When I was just a nipper not long hatched from the egg,
Brrrrr! It’s getting mighty cold,
My...

Premium Member Butterfly Elf Man Looks So Stern
Butterfly elf man had a reputation for being a softie
Even though he looked stern, borderline determined even.
Not that it’s a bad thing, but he did not look whimsical or frolicking.
He looked serious, yet still, butterflies flocked to him.
Is he almost mean? Someone wondered aloud.
The butterflies...

Premium Member Howard Stern
Sung to the tune of Charlie Brown by The Coasters

He has a face made for radio.
He's a tall freaky geek with a Pinocchio nose.
Howard Stern. Howard Stern.
He'll never learn, that Howard Stern.
He's gonna get nailed by the FCC.
"Why is everybody trying to crucify me?"
Topless lesbian...

Premium Member The Howard Stern of Poetry
There's a side to me that many don't often see.
I can at times also be the Howard Stern of poetry.
So be forewarned whoever may give me a read.
If you are one who offends easily from crap that's just silly.
You may get offended now and then...

STERN



Bare that stern solemn face
When things seem to go right
Struggle to feel clear grace
In the deep dark of night

Premium Member shirley versus stern face
Shirley sallied forth with another amusing quip
Does she never take life seriously? Asked stern face
I chose to ignore him, preferring Shirley every day
She is always joking, stern face said to another woman.
She did not reply either.
Shirley enters the lunchroom with fairy dust and magic sparkles

Premium Member Look That's Stern I Hold On
I look so stern
Because I'm close to the heart
Here in my mothers arms
I hold on
Such a serious look
I do impart
Yet I too do hold on
I hold on
Cheek to breast
Ear to heart
I listen as I clench and hold
I hold on
A mother's love
Never ends as long as...

She
sets sail,
November,
riding waves of
eddy leaves left from October’s debut.
Majestic and proud, she takes firm command,
steering the bow
of Winter
toward
Spring....

The Revenue From Trasgressors
My name is The Law.
My face is stern
Toward transgressors,
But I can use
The fines they pay
Dropping into the coffers!
