Best Veronica Poems

Somewhere in the hills o'er yonder
My hear beats louder than the thunder
And day and night it roams and wonder
Why did we begin to fall assunder.
Sometimes when the moon is bright. I
Press her to my lips in prayer
For we must dance again before we die
While moon drenched nights can hunger.
I was committed here, and you still...

How can something be amazing and terrifying at the same time? 
I have a wife and three kids
no, wait that's my imagination running wild
I have a girlfriend, my world of a month now
but I've chased her for years of 6
She's been twice out of my life
and I couldn't let her escape thrice
Veronica, my life
Veronica, will...

Central Park has grizzly bears
(Don’t worry – in the zoo)
Residing in the habitat
The polar bear once knew.

While visiting the park today
I saw them in their lair;
With one asleep and one stretched out,
They didn’t seem to care.

Their given names, to comic buffs,
Will bring a little smile,
As Betty and Veronica 
Explore their domicile.

It’s nice to know the...

Veronica
You have a way that pulls on gram-as heart strings
Bringing me so much joy and pleasure
For it is you that makes gram-as heart sing
Your gram-as little treasure
You bring a smile in little things you say 
Or a laugh in little things you do
Your the sunshine that lights my day
Your the rainbow in it to 
You...

You are old I am young
You have love I have none.
"Look. Look at those flocks of birds emigrating south! 
They’re escaping with regular wing beats, crying farewell."
Tomorrow would be a good day to die 
Today a good tomorrow
Dying must be strange, nonsense life is strange
We wait for nothing yet nothing will come
I never hoped you...

I was sitting a the edge of the bar
thinking of my new car.
I saw her
she asked me to dance
I loved her at first glance.
She told me her was Veronica.

Veronica
every day is Christmas
and every day Hanukkah
with my Veronica.

Every day is Christmas
and every day is Hanukkah
with my Veronica.

She let me sleep at night
and always treated me right.
She...

Veronica Franco translations

Veronica Franco (1546-1591) was a Venetian courtesan who wrote literary-quality poetry and prose.

Capitolo 19: A Courtesan's Love Lyric (I) 
by Veronica Franco

My rewards will be commensurate with your gifts
if only you give me the one that lifts
me laughing...

Veronica, Veronica
Valerie, Valerie
oh! blond hair and perky breasts
tan legs and hot lips
when oh when will you be mine
not my girlfriend
no you're not that kind
but I have a use for you
and though it's a shame
after all I'm only a man
who can I be to blame
your soft skin and that sweet look
drive me crazy
and soon my sweet...

Why did Archie keep running after Veronica?
Betty was the nice one.
And she was blonde.

Why was Reggie’s mouth always drawn into a sneer?
Did they want him to look cruel?
Why did they want Jughead to appear stupid?

Oddly enough, I never questioned why
Betty and Veronica were both drawn like Vargus pinup girls.
Maybe because I was used to Barbie...

Archie Andrews
Lots of girls from whom to choose,
But one young lady caught his eye
For her he could be the lucky guy.

Veronica Lodge
Would never our Archie dodge
She was always his girlfriend
From the beginning to the end.

Very vivacious and vibrant
Elegant and eloquent as ever
Radiant as the spring sun 
Overall, amazing and odd in a good way I must say
Never fails to amaze me...allow me to smile in sunlit glee
Invigorating and intriguing always and forever
Change is a challenging chore, but nothing is impossible with Veronica, abiding by your side 
A wonderful family...

This is the saga of Veronica Vole
Who committed the perfect crime.
She murdered three lovers,
But not all at once,
She did 'em in one at a time.

The first was a lemur,
A two-timing schemer,
Who seduced all thirteen of her nieces.
Every female enticed him,
So she sliced him and diced him,
Then stir-fried and ate all the pieces.

The second, a lobster,
Was...

He woke up in the middle of the dream again.
She was wearing the same blue-red suit. 
Her brunette hair was scooped up, off her neck.
She was walking with a lively step, on heels.
He was intrigued. The heels were painted red on their bottoms.

Where were they? Chicago? New York? Some big city.
It felt American, but he...

   Archie did cartwheels for Veronica
   Jughead even played his harmonica ~
     But Veronica’s Jewish
     Leaving two suitors bluish ~
   Steinberg made her latkes for Chanukah

It was Betty and Veronica
who asked Archie to play the harmonica
turned out the sound was so bad
that they rushed to replace him with grandad
