Hopped Up Poems | Examples

Outside

 A redheaded pileated woodpecker hopped up a tree
Barn swallows fly around me
Doves were cooing down in the dale
Other birds joined in, I even heard some quail..
    

While walking the dog in the late afternoon..

The Puggles Dream

There was a cute puggle who snored up a song
When joeys hopped up bridging along,
Emu chicks joined with boom notes and grunts
Whilst dancing along with top wild stunts.

Penguins marched in forming a line
Tenors, Sopranos, Divas divine,
Bowerbirds trilled with whistles and squeaks 
Then Aves had united with many techniques.

Ensemble was formed by powered forte
Rhythms caused riffs to encore that day,
And all this occurred when music was free
From snores made a song a large symphony.

Sweet Gifts

Christmas reimagined by who…
not Horton nor Whoville
but Doctor Who

A bride vanished from altar
Her reception,
hopped up with Santas and a tree

Ornaments’ revolving, lifting,
evolving into bombs

Jitters, not the groom or bride

A network web
of complexity below
the complex

Racnoss wrapping
sweet gifts

not at all nice

Cpapsody In Blue

At first, just ridicule and taunt
Quit complaining, says my aunt
Technology to brag and vaunt
Apps to load and screens to flaunt
I fear I’m haggard, tired, and gaunt
I’d settle for a dream to haunt
To don the mask, a task I daunt
But if I can be your confidant
We may have even reached detente
I hopped up and I took a jaunt
To breakfast for an egg croissant
Though I’m not yet a dilettante
Or leaping the baptismal font
I finally got the sleep I want

Zoo

I was once hopped up to visit the zoo
Until hopped upon by a kangaroo.
Never met such a female grouch!
She beat me until in her pouch
A can of snoose I placed for her to chew.

Little Bug

A little bug hopped up on me
  He said, 'How do you do?'
I said, 'I do just fine, I think
  May I have a word with you?'

He said, 'Sure, sir. How 'bout now?
  I'm on break from my chores'
Said I, 'Oh, good. Let's chat
  in this grocery store.'

We exchanged our names 
  and a little small talk
Then I got to the point
  Saying, 'You haven't a friend
    in this entire joint'

'I know,' the bug wept
  I know that you've kept
  up an all-points alert
  so you don't get hurt
if I leave my imprint upon you'

'But now that the coast's clear
  Please accept my apology, dear
    and with it, a cure for my virus'

So quick as a wink 
  The bug with good cheer
    Poured me clink, clink ~
a little Corona Prescription Beer

Stimulus

people are sick

society stifled and slowly sliding away

will one willingly escape
from stagnant airs
kiss me says the fool

six pence none the richer
but richer they claim to be
in shallow folds
of bills
put off to tomorrow
shaking  hand(out)s
without any silly gloves

it's not greed
when you act out
when a want is a need

distance what distance
(un)masked attention
let's be social
(in)security

no content nor consideration
for the old
for their young
crying
generations dying
before blind eyes
all hopped up on weed

Thank You Mr Fox

“...The great teacher inspires.“ William Arthur Ward

“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s a spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.”   Amy Collette

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough”    Anonymous 

THANK YOU MR. FOX

What does the Fox say -
his kind eyes, emphatically speak;
his hopped-up ears in tune.

A sheltered girl sans life experience
in a room full of snapping turtles.

Mr. Fox did not extinguish the timid light.
Instead he sprinkled ideas — fireworks explode.

The Fox says very little and so much.
His pointed ears and gentle spirit
saw hope in a teenage cocoon.

The Fox was wise...his tale goes on in mine.
Dendrites lift you up — rolling out the clouds.

Roommate Is On My Plate

Roommate is on my plate
Dropping herself into my grits
Little flecks of warm porridge splash into my eyes

It is one of Trixie’s assistant muses
She has a killer smile and rainbow hair
Hi she greets me with telepathy

Lump of eggs rises 
I see two glowing green eyes
Getting higher and taller.

Fascinated I smile 
Wondering what will happen next
Grape jelly jar falls over with a clink next to plate.
“She is comin!” A tiny red brownie driving gem encrusted chariot hisses.  

Rainbow muse and mini-dragon jump aboard the chariot
Trixie my main muse is riding black puma with stars chasing them now
Her head turns toward me.  She glares and sticks out her tongue.
The perils of having a hopped up overly territorial muse
I cringe wondering what diabolical fate will next befall me.

Haiku 4 25 2019 2

oak buds stimulate
the crevices of the mind —
hopped-up flowerage

adventurous vine —
the tongue-twisting succulent
of wildflower verse

Create What Will Become a Teensy Bit of Me

It began as an idea.
Hopped up on my dendrite highway.
Zoomed through my wide-open interstate and took me on a ride.
I was holding on as hard as I could.
 
A smile turned into a flat out worldwide laugh.
Idea one turned herself into upside down girl,
Flatulent gorilla, chameleon on a stick.
A poem? A canvas? A play? A book?
A novel? Possibilities overtook me
And threw me into a soft nap.
 
Ideas do this to me sometime.
To percolate prettily while I sleep.
I never color inside the box,
Because I do not see a box,
I always see a diamond or a star.
 
My hazel eyes on the prize, I took out my favorite glitzy paints and began to devour myself.
On a canvas, on the wall.
Drew the brush swiftly onto the wall and down onto the floor.
Never stopping, happily, zanily  out of control, abnormal to some,
Completely normal to me.
 
Beginning once again to create what will become a teensy bit of me...

Fully into the 
Kingdom of “be yourself” which my dancy, prancy muse and  I will leave
In my wake at my wake. 
Furiously creating a non-final me.

Horse Racing

She opened her legs then hopped up on it

She gripped it tight then sat down on it

He started to move so she began to ride it

She loved the feeling cuz she enjoyed it

She pulled out the whip to show that she was master

And when she swung it he began to go faster

She started to scream at the top of her voice

For the way he made her feel her voice got so hoarse

After a thirty minute run he started to tire

For this horse was no longer young he was ready to retire

I Always Care About You

Just thinking of you yesterday, 
As my hopped-up heart beat so fast; 
I was worried and anxious of
What happened to you in the past.

Yes, today is no different, 
You are still on my distressed mind; 
Passing me by are nights and days,
Memories are not left behind.

Tomorrow will certainly be
Another new, bleak, unsure day; 
But I still hope for a promise
Of the things that I often pray.

There is nothing that I desire
But the joy that makes your eyes glow; 
Though sadness may come annoying, 
I know soon it shall fade and go.

I miss you so much, oh my dear,
My love for you is really true; 
To you I will give my whole life, 
For I always care about you.

Curio cabinet full of
Memories; a small dent from a wild child
All hopped up on penny candy, running on
Giggle energy, because of the excitement
Of the Little Orphan Annie radio program,
Stopped in her tracks, and stopped in her breath. 
Scraped on the lion paw spindle leg, 
From when nervous grandson watched
One small man shoot 3 small bullets into one small skull,
Like a whole book depository landed on point.
A stain mimicking the Grecian coastline, 
On the drum top, from the spill
From the redwine from the news of pa-pa's death, 
A slip and fall when reaching for the remote.
The drawer can't close correctly because
Daddy's head landed sideways after the bullet
Pierced his temple; how many times can you be laid off
On December 24th?
Curious cabinet guarded loosely
With skips in posture and hiccoughs in time.
Maker o maker, 
Here is my resume.

The Girl From Peru

There once was a girl from Peru
Who really wanted to be a kangaroo,
so she hopped up and down 
in her frilly night gown
and ended up in the loo!
