I wonder why these words are short
When they should have been rather long,
That, we have fair time to abort.
Fine, we’re not in judicial court,
Nor are scared of the judge’s gong,
Wonder still why the words are short.
There are those caught as if in fort
And feel, an abrupt ‘no’ is wrong,
Wish, they’d enough time to abort,
And say no in a polite sort
Of way that sounds a sweet dingdong,
I wonder why yes too is short.
None of the two should be so curt
And should be said like a sweet song
That gives enough time to abort.
To say them well’s a rare fine art
T’be cultivated all along,
I wonder why these words are short,
We need enough time to abort.

Villanelle |02.10.2024|word, yes, no
Poet’s note: We often find it so difficult to say no, we are forced to say yes under pressure. Why? Perhaps both ‘yes’ and’ no’ as words are so short, they do not give us enough time to think. This Villanelle is born from this lack of comfort.
To reach to thy heart
I wrote poems all my life.
Too late on my part
When I knew in utter strife,
The roadblocks were far too rife.

I was going to write a sonnet...
But the words I speld were rawng
So instead I wrote a haiku
But my syllables were too long
So I decided to write a lyric...
And sing myself a song
But I forgot the words while singing it
So I ended it...dingdong

Is it Crazy
By Joeysguy
Sounds in my house that I hear
I relate some to my wife being here
I have pictures all around the house
Everywhere pictures of my spouse
I think of my wife still being here
Like saying I’m sorry or excuse me dear
So much is different in my life
I lost the normal when losing my wife
I’ll sit and pound my heels on the floor
Sometimes till a foot is sore
Sometimes I’ll take a drink
It helps me to relax and think
Thinking about everything I had
My life feels hopeless and sad
Some nights I think when I go to bed
Will I wake in the morning or will I be dead
As crazy as it may seem
Sometimes I may let out a scream
When leaving home I say, see you later to my souse
I’ll say I’m home when I enter the house
I know some things are crazy that I do
I don’t want to write it and tell you
This poem could be very long
Then people would know I’m really a dingdong

Insert deep into my heart
Let the blood clot inside
This knife is meant for that
It is a gift from my sweetheart
When I was with her
She screwed me with beautiful words
Now before leaving me alone
She presented me this dingdong
I have hung it since then
Unable to take it away, instantaneously
The last footprints on my heart
Has left an image so dark
This blood keeps reminding me of her
Better if someone with broken heart insert
This dagger deep and deeper
So that he will be happy and I will live forever.

Poodle... A puff on the left
A puff on the right
And always dyed white
The Nest... Teased like a stampede
That's been unleashed
The look of an endangered beast
Shaved Art... Some with faces, some with decorations
Are they going forward or behind
I hope they are supervised
Mohawk... Oh my what a shock
Some are four feet high and unbending
If you don't duck you'll be crying
Half Of Hair... One side bald the other side long
What a dingdong
It's just all wrong
So this is my opinion, sorry if I offend you!
