Best Zaniness Poems
"If having a sense of humor is considered crazy,
tell me I'm zany before you walk out my door."
~ by poet
My poetic friends are very zany
Their humor indicates they are brainy
Limericks they oft' write
Bring laughter to the site
They are rays of sunshine when it's rainy
Zaniness is an art that gives pleasure
Such quirky talent goes beyond measure
Their farcical style
Makes many of us smile
Witty minds are valued as a treasure
Labeled bizarre, whimsical, or sappy
Zany cockamamy makes us happy
They take away a frown
When we are feeling down
Even if their limericks are crappy
Observationally,
preposterousness
habiting reconstructionists.
Observationally,
I cry, "Be quarrelsomenesses!"
Observationally,
Yakkers.
Symptomatologically,
Zaniness.
Decisively,
Babblement can aboon.

Fractal poetry: a method

Generator and get 17 for a
short poem.
2. Collapse large numbers to
equal-to/less-than 20.
3. These are word lengths.
4. Use RNG again to choose 17
numbers from a max. of 26, .
5. Each of these is the first
letter of a word no longer than
in 2 above.
6. Assemble words of the
various chosen lengths into
images.
7. Imagination rules.
A lot of really big trees had died to make that desk. His mother had probably gnawed them down, used her nails to saw the boards, and finished the decorative cutwork with her tongue.
Jennifer Crusie
My mom kept a patch of zamia trees,
freeze brook zigzagged and zinged,
zesty zephyr's laid cape from breeze,
zap zander tinned.
She accomplished zoning using a zax,
she led my zest and dream,
I can't cool off, I can't relax,
zealous esteem.
She shields me from rain and zenithal wind,
she kept zeal to be strong,
by lead and zaniness of mind,
zigs right from wrong.

yucky zaniness
"Morris" The Manx
A "tailess" menace is what he can be..
Getting into everything; so full of energy!
A cheshire grin, a pair of big mischievous eyes..
Jumping out of nowhere, he likes to surprise!
He prances around, chasing everything freestyle.
Frolicking about, I have to smile.
Running like a rabbit, he climbs up a tree!
Clawing his way back down with such gallantry!
This "tailess" menace, noble, smart and robust!
I just love my waggish Manx in all his glorious zaniness!
A beloved couple
devoted earnestly
for generations.
How?
I just knowingly
love more now?
Or perhaps,
quietly revering
someone truly,
uniquely, vested
with xenial youthful zaniness.

Roses are red. Violets are blue,
But Violets for you, PD, just won’t do!
Roses mean passion, for roses are red,
And though I don’t want this to go to your head,
PD, you’re sweeter than dozens of roses
So those who give violets to you ---- Up their NOSES.
A thousand red roses for you. No, a TON,
For you are too awesome and way too much fun.
I’ll take off the thorns from each rose one by one,
And finally when all of my thorn-picking’s done,
I’ll wrap them up nicely in big bright bouquets,
The fragrance of thousands to last many days!
Roses are friendly, but violets are shy.
I won’t give violets to just have you cry!
Happy Valentine’s Day to my good friend, PD,
For your zaniness, wit and your sweet poetry.
May you ever remain in this fun tight-knit group,
The spice that enhances our Poetry Soup!
Written by Andrea Dietrich
and Dedicated to PD in honor of Valentine's Day
Answers better come daily,
even for good-hearted individuals.
Justice keeps lives,
making noticeable overtures.
People quietly reach solitude.
Treating understandable voices
with XOXO, yielding zaniness.
Lucille Ball
Made us laugh, playing hardball
With dingbat displays
And clever, nonsensical ways!
Desi Arnaz
Caused mayhem with pizzazz
Zaniness we loved to view
As he broadened the hullabaloo!

God, I am but
a mere poet.
Heaven knows,
I show it.
Not here to wash
poets in the grand
waves of the Sea of
Thesaurus.
Speaking for myself
and others,it really
bores many of us.
Nor in imagery so
grandiose there are
too many of those!
Like an uncontrollable,
garden hose.
I just try to be honest
and clear!
No tricks, no zaniness
like a runaway, deer.
I keep my poems short
I do respect your time.
You will find truth, I do
promise.
No falsehoods of any
kind!

The ABC’s of Grudges
By Dane Smith-Johnsen
Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds. Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.
(Simple solutions: Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)
