Lickety Poems

Lickety-Split

She ran through the streets lickety-split
like a fine race horse chomping her bit
	a race for the throne
	winner gets the cone
cold ice cream crown a tasty tidbit

Lickety-Split

Amanda write limericks so darn quick
She just dashes them off lickety-split
  Somehow she gets them to rhyme
  Finishing each one in time
To post them before you can hit 'Submit'

Lickety Split and His Clover

Lickety Split was a novice lander elf.
He was pretty much terribly hard on himself.
I cannot conjure up ghosts like daddy, he said.
I cannot bring back spirits, I do not talk to the dead.

But you are wonderful in your own way, my child.
His parents told him with tones that were mild.
He wanted to be the best

Lickety-Split

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”

Ice Cream lyrics by Howard Johnson 1927

LICKETY-SPLIT

pied piper’s sprint
in a child’s cul-de-sac
dishy melody
little legs come running forth
taking their licks in no time

Lickety Split and Thunder Lou

Lickety Split and Thunder Lou
Be you Green or be you Blue
Come and play and bring a shoe
If you insist you may bring two

Lickety Split and Pink Horse Poo
Be you Red or White or Blue
Your yellow roses simply grew
Garden faeries laughed at their new.

Lickety Split and Cake Horn Too
Be you silver without a clue
Your colorful kindness

Lickety Split

Lickety Split (Not for contest)

Like a star-spangled banner bathed in the sand
illuminated in the tropical isles of scents on
Caribbean land while you're caressing me
knowing you're close by to kiss and kiss
enticing, engulfing me with all your charm
there will be a sultry tune and look of
yearning and wanting you more and more

Scintally, clad I'm clothed in

Lickety Split

Like diamonds bathed in sun,
Islands in the 
Caribbean call my name.
Kiss me with your sultry
Energy and charm.
There’s a beach bum waiting for me, with
Yellow hair bleached by the sun. 

Such longing I feel, as he
Pulls me to paradise, where.
Love blooms at last.
If only in a wink-of-the-eye dream,
Tropical splendor is mine.

Living
Independtly
Can cause
Keepsake
Encounters
To turn into traumatized 
Yearnings

So some
People
Leave

Lickety Split

Lickety split 
In and out the hummingbird flits; 
Caught a glimpse of it sipping nectar of the Columbine.
Kiss, a sip shades of red, orange, and bright pink as it flies up and down the vine, 
Eager to get to the next bloom, sound of hummmmm of it beating wings.
These tiny sweet sucking nectar hovers in

Lickety-Split - Acrostic

Laying in my bed all cozy and warm, and
   inside the blankets my kitty cat snores, sweetly
captivating birds sing outside my window, and
      kitty cat pokes her head out and says,   M E O W !
Earsplitting and grating my alarm clock is blaring, and my
 

Lickety Split

Looking for money the easiest way -
Impossibly shameless, he searched for his prey.
Cleverly creeping, he’d spy a poor dolt,
Kill them with kindness and gain sympathy.
Embezzlement was his great specialty -
Trickery too, and the talent to bolt!
Yes, when he fled, he gave them a jolt.

Slimy was he, being slickety-slick,
Prospering from every poor soul he duped.
Lickety split,

Lickety Split

L ost deep, the woods of tender age,

I feigned to quell my prurient rage ...

C aught amidst a gleam and glower,

K ept 'tween pages, pressed a flower.

E ach new and tragic love was meant

T o supplant that passion, abhorrent,

Y et as those windings wound to you ...


S ighs and moons came far too few.

Lickety Split In the Corridor

Lilacs
In the parks
Cruelly crushed
Killing the pink buds
Eliminating the poetry
Torturing hands rejoicing
Yellow yelling in the panick

Some poets say
Power flowering in
Lickety split in the corridor
In all the starlit lakes and ponds
Totter the tube roses at the capitalist glare
