Best Whizzes Poems
YellowYellow spreads her flowered self all along my lane,
asking only for some warmth and a little rain.
She might pose as Daffodil or enjoy the fame
of the seeded beauty which bears our sun’s own name.
Yellow makes the perfect gift - roses for the friend
whom you know...

Purveyor of EcstasyMiles in a coaster, a day and hours elapsed,
Felt the utmost relief when the whirling wheels halted;
So weary and dizzy, even a smile seemed so hideous
But an in peace slumber I desperately craved for;
Eyes wide-opened at the chirping of euphonious...

The BandShe steps up to the plate –smiling
The smile that fills you with hatred and embarrassment
When so often it is present.
This is no laughing matter.
The unliked by the team,
But still the needed captain.
The field is watching, waiting.
Bat up, she stances.
Eyes narrow.
The players tense –mechanically.
The pitch from...

Cat-As-TropheCat-as-trophe
A purrrfect little kitten became a purrrfect cat,
With milk all round her whiskers and cobwebs as her hat.
She rubs against your jumper, just to say hello,
And leaves behind a hairy mess on you and your best throw.
Excitedly she’ll spring up high, swiping at a fly,
Just...

Bin Chickenoddly they swim where only yesterday
grass laid down and withered
having been subjected to the slasher’s blade
“Them be bin chickens” me mate once said
as we walked past them at the airport
not far from Tweed Heads
“bin chickens? I think not
as they plunge their long beaks
into the...

The Magic BroomstickTHE MAGIC BROOMSTICK
There is a magic broomstick
Upon which witches ride,
On dark and spooky windy nights
Up into the air it glides.
Soaring over trees and hills
It travels far and wide
The magic cat sits on the back
His black face a grin from side to side.
Mr.Moon peeps through...

DropletsLittle by little,
slowly yet surely
like a ticking clock
to the earth fall
silvery droplets
from the rooftops;
cool, clear waters
into a crystal pool
on the ground form,
only to soon vanish
nowhere to be found,
sucked underground;
each droplet I watch
while...

Sassy Sonnetpeppy porcelain puppy poops on the floor
wacky winged walrus whizzes on the door
enigmatic eonian elephant espies some bamboo
clever castrated cormorant shrieks yahoo
brassiere-busting bonobo barfs on the table
maniacal mystic monkey freaks on cable
sly sonambulent sloth bear slumbers in his cave

A Drive To NowhereFeel closed in and need a break
Take me far away to nowhere I care about
Just drive….
And let the wind blow through these kinky locks
Entangled with fears, dreams and lost passion
Give me speed
To free up the mind so knotted up
To perceive the world as it whizzes...

The Bolts of BalthakkLike many heroes of mysterious Marvel Comics,
Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a bolt of magic mix;
Spells of supernatural kinds he works, abundantly,
Crimsons, crystals, ice, rings, chains - in constant redundancy...!
Pile of pure pulverization and annihilation,
The Bolts of Balthakk has become eternal damnation;
On any...

Your Not Coming InThere's a crowd at the door
but they ain't coming in.
My confidence as shut down,
my draw bridge as been pulled in.
Don't ask me out its not my scene.
I'm no social king or queen.
I would never make a star of the silver screen.
No...

The Problem With Your PoemsThe problem with your poems is
You’re one of many whizzes
Who are sitting on a hoard
of brilliant gems obscured;
For we can not read them all
Nor the crop on Fall;
Thus they’ll gather dust
But write them, ‘cause you must!...
