Premium MemberDoris the Overindulged Duck

Doris is a duck who likes to overindulge whenever she can.
She overcompensates because she has no dog, cat or man.
Today I saw her eat three boxes of chocolates in an hour
Then she drank a bottle of wine, to give her happy power.

I have no advice to give, and I am glad that she does not

Premium Memberdowdy drab doris

Doris was dowdy, drab, and draggle-tailed too
Forever frumpy, frightened, a failure, at age thirty-two
Jaundiced, juicy-gossipy, jealous, and July jailed
Slovenly, slithery, shipwrecked, her moment had sailed.

Premium MemberDoris

Doris was quick-thinking
quick-acting, clever, and shrewd
But pointedly polite and polished
Never abrupt or rude

Her knowledge of psychology helped her get by with much
Fooling relatives, acquaintances, coworkers, and such

they were eagerly outsmarted and outmaneuvered by her.
She had an open heart, and a face that was open and pure.

Premium MemberDoris Ann Does Not See the Pink Frog

Doris Ann was busy catching hearts, dragonflies and bees.
The giant pink frog was waiting quietly, smiling with ease.
Wait until she sees me, the creature thought, she may think I’m a toad.
But Doris Ann ran past her, straight down Mercy Road.

Premium MemberSaving Doris

Doris was a beet who was well-loved
she was symmetrically and artistically beautiful.
the entire garden decided to hide her,
because they could not bear to see her eaten

carrots, radishes, green beans and peas took turns
camouflaging Doris, so the eaters would not notice her.
she thrived all summer long, getting bigger and bigger
by the time the farmers noticed her,

Premium MemberRicky And Doris

A puppeteer and a columnist
Two greeting persons of great talent
A writer and a simple artist
Met in New York on a bench God-sent
Acquaintance that brought humor and scent
To watchers and walkers awed with skill
Moving and talking puppets that shrill

Rip Doris Bodgers

I just read the Kama Sutra Richard Johnson said,
It could leave you ruptured or very possibly dead:
But him and his lover Doris went ahead and tried.
Less than three weeks later she very suddenly died.

They’d been  progressing
By slow and steady stages
Until Doris sadly, mistakenly,
Went and turned four pages.
What started off as easy 
And looked so

Premium MemberDoris To Little Light Cloud

Doris was an unhappy girl; her stepfather was stern.
Her mother never stood up for her, no matter what.
She did not like herself when the Cherokees grabbed her.
But they showed her a new way and renamed her.

When they had finished with her she was a new person.
Little Light Cloud, a maiden who had fallen in love.
When

Doris, the Magic Troll

The tales they told of Doris
     In the hills of Tazeltoff
Are remembered by the others
        Who would jeer and tease and scoff
 
It seemed that little Doris
     Was a timid little thing
When trolls of young and old

Doris and Rock

my pillow has
become you
but you have
become my
pillow

soft but not
feathered down
shape shifting
to fit my girth
and width

spray some
of your
favorite
scent
and

then you send
me away but don't
push me away
befuddled
i only want

to
cuddle

…Polyester jewels ravage her neck;
Her clothes are stylist and yet;
Money she has no remorse;
She’s gotten all she got, from being divorced;
Darling Doris Dollar;
Got more monies than any others;
It’s a shame the next man she gets;
Gonna have to sign a Prenup…

TRIBUTE TO DORIS DAY

“Que séra séra, 
   whatever will be will be…”

sung to me sung to me

like a lullaby crescent moon

“when i was just
   a little girl”

the softness of her voice
my mother’s 

resounding on t.v.

remembering reminiscing 

Doris Day
the girl next door

beyond the stars
young once more
