Best Townspeople Poems

Once in a forest, a long time ago,
there dwelt a young maiden, bright, sweet and fair.
Flowers she wore in her long wavy hair,
and each day she’d vanish into gloaming’s glow.

Alana Dulcita was this young maid’s name,
a name that fell sweetly from everyone’s tongue.
The townspeople loved...

At the edge of town stood, a government research centre 
It was heavily guarded, no unauthorised persons could enter
The authorities put down rumours, saying its just a research station 
But word got out they were trying, to open an other dimension. 

One night a massive...

Limricks prompted by a comment made by someone today

It's a fact, and no longer just a rumor
Some soup people barf at toilet humor
Have you sniffed your own butt 
It stinks so keep it shut
Pessimism must be your perfumer

No one would believe that you never fart
Gas...

Legend of a witch who lives by the sea
spending her days making potions and teas
a mermaid or witch?
believed she can switch
No one knows, townspeople see her and flee



Intrigued by this mystery by the sea 
I find her sea shanty, stop near a tree
the old lady...

'Twas an ominous moment when rode into town
To its marshal defy and outdraw and gun down
A notorious, murderous varmint named Slade 
Who had widows and orphans throughout the west made.

The next morning, as destined, they met on the street
To for title of gunfighter finest compete....

II.
Allan seemed mad,”How can you even ask?!”
Sol said,”All right, let’s then get to the task.
Find any townspeople still somewhat hale,
then go get me ladders, some boards, and some nails.

“And do it quickly, there’s work to do yet,
we must finish it before the sun sets.”
At that...

When Miss Lily Jane Bobbit arrived in that Alabama town,
jaws dropped; all eyes were riveted on her.
The ordinary street on which she lived would be no longer common,
for Lily Jane now graced it with her presence.

Not everybody liked this sassy lass.
The girls in town were...

Purposes as incomprehensible and wonderful as these purposes
Either you had no purpose or the purpose is beyond the end
The purpose of sitting is not to be satisfied or satiated

Because the timepiece not only serves a purpose, it is adapted to that

Buck was a tough man
very fast with his gun
always just one step
ahead of the law

He rode from town to town
never staying all that long
because as soon as word got out
the young gunslingers would come

Now Buck was not a man
to go looking for trouble
but it seemed...

Headed for the tower  

Watch the legs supply the power  

Using a simple two-wheel device  

Spirited competitive ride healthy and nice  

This athletic mechanical dance  

Traveling the scenic villages throughout France  

Checking the rural roads  

Letting everyone know...

Cherry blossoms bloom;
the townspeople sing, laugh, dance:
hope springs eternal....

The Waiting Room

The April weather shifted high to low,
Exposing those early clout casters
To the concluding bite of winter;
Footsteps full of foreboding
Trudge their last legs up the inclined driveway
To the Doctor’s old house.
A hotchpotch of chairs and wooden benches
Cling to the borders of the waiting room
A...
