My Hair
My hair has always
had a mind of its own
Stays doing whatever
it wants whenever
it pleases
Just never bothers to do
any of it, at my convenience
Will take its sweet time
to grow
When I'm most...

Butters Drippin From My Elbows
Butters Drippin’ From My Ears
Summer’s mostly over
I’ve not once mentioned Iowa corn.
It’s the symbol of the state
In which this rhymer’s born.
There are other places
That grows passable “sweet” corn.
I’ve eaten several others
But my druthers always torn.
In...

Say something nice my love

Don't be like the ugly lady in Amsterdam
Yelling at her husband to pass...

Circles
I see a pattern Everywhere:
Circles and globes (three dimensional circles);
Shiny rings of fire.
Countless manifestations of this same shape.
Star-spangled galaxies wheeling through the sky:
That half-globe dome.
Earth, in circular orbit (more or less) around the Sun,
Escorted by...

A Garden Planted With Love
I have a little garden that I love,
where the many plants of my childhood grow;
(I did this to honor mother above)
where flowers flourish like a wild meadow.
Where the many plants of my childhood grow,

Cilantro's Molest
Delicately smoke stacks rose in tendrils
From my lobotomised mind, tracks of steam
Channels which searched for surrendour
Teased unfamiliar air aflame, eventual glean
Chances which blind chases never uncovered
Now relaxed stance soul caresses confirm
Worth in the...

The Queen Has a Navy that Floats in Her Gravy
The Queen has a navy
That floats in her gravy,
It’s sharp and its clear,
But it’s sure tough to steer,
For the rudders get stuck
In that thick, grayish muck,
And the lads in the stern
Have a penchant to yearn

Light Verse
He's a Word Casanova
He's a WORD Casanova
He butters them up
Gives sips from his cup
words syrupy sweet
a tasty love treat
makes the girls swoon
to his sensual croon
The Word Casanova
His words are his charm
they dismantle alarm
“sugar and spice”
and they gush..."OH…SO... NICE!"
Demanding...

Me, Paul Butters
I’m no author, novelist or poet.
I’m just Me,
And don’t I know it.
I don’t need to be classified,
As long as I’m writing, I’m satisfied.
Typing out words, line by line,
I don’t care if they don’t rhyme.
I don’t...

Excitement - Full Version
My head feels dull.
Not even “comfortably numb”.
No mood for rhyme
Yet must cast my soul
Back through time.
No.
No more rhyme.
Just cast my mind back.
Seek that spark.
Call out my Muse.
Be inspired.
Excited.
Yes.
Excitement shines
Like a billion suns.
The merest touch
Explodes

The Execution
Trepidation explodes into volcanic fear
Takes off like wild fire burnt alive
Rolls molten lava down the mountain
Butters the melted soul to silence
Over run by soldiers out of control
The covered dead fill in the valley
Infantries spread to...

The Mentor
In life's' living gutter
I stutter and mutter
Eventually i falter
And did alter
The very life's' meter
That controls the matter
A bitter - like better
That butters the fighter
And makes him go higher
I needed a master
Who'll help my desire
