Long Characteristically Poems

By Stanley Collymore

At first I wasn’t in the least interested in you. 
But then, why should I be? You, after all, 
are an unmarried and out-of-work mum 
just turned 23 and, additionally and 
quite evidently...

Wrapping himself in the...

Running over full speed to the tree, 
The largest of all the items, 
He clapped his hands excitedly together, 
Three times rhythmically,
And smiled characteristically. 

He got there and hugged the fir,  
But its branches...

The Forgotten Soldier

Clickety clack - clickety clack; the train trundled on empty stations of an old past
Lightweight in its endeavours - portraying its only passengers as its unholy cast

Each face a palpable grey - their...

It was a bright beautiful morning!
A bunch of human beings,
Who claimed themselves, butterfly watchers,
Entered into a beautiful garden,
Filled with butterflies,
Of various colors, forms, shapes, structures, sizes…!
Observing and analyzing,
Diverse aspects of butterflies,
This was what, by way...

Allow me a moment to deconstruct,,
Every wall characteristically set up.
And all the fabricated stories from corrupt
Individuals; Residuals of a past, 
I broke through and shattered like sugar-glass. 

Let me tell you; I'm not invincible. 
My...

I.

Higgledy piggledy
Roger de Coverley
Fonder of hoofing it
Than of romance

Found himself typified
Characteristically
King of the Reels and the
Lord of the Dance.  

II.

Willety wallety
William the Conqueror
Wanted his subjects to
Quail at his power,

Crowing to Londoners
Hyperdespotically, 
“Look, everybody, I’ve

I live in a state shaped by glaciers long ago
In the middle of the heat, we want it to snow
The breadwinner of many homes is what we grow
Here comes another winter, around forty below

Blood is thicker than water (farewell)

Burdened and scarred by DNA
Passed on to us without our say yet
Blood is thicker than water you say?
Characteristically speaking at least 
Yes this much is true

Blood coagulates, dries up at...

Characteristically speaking,
I am in awe of you,
Make believing, while convincing us all that you are true.
Art imitating life,
Life from the depth of imagination,
profoundly saying,
I am here, SURPRISE!!!!
I have arrived!!!!!
Shakespere himself would roll over with envy,

God-given Package, I'm weak,
Strong mentally, but matters physique,
Endure insult, to haughty meek,
Urchin servility, the reluctant beak!

Fury pressurized, wrath submerged,

Spookily  Bookily
Dramatic apogee
Edgar A. Poe's verses
Death from curses

Quite artistically
characteristically
His poems were renowned
to be profound 

Gloomily  Doomily
So methodically
he wrote of never more
and sweet Lenore

Poe was positively
Imaginatively
authoring horrid themes
to dire extremes

Foolishly Ghoulishly
Did Poe write lucidly
Now...

Oh mother nature! Why is the sun’s wage overpaid?
Considering its strict principle of full execution
being its major peculiarity, especially when handling a task.
It discharges dominance which makes weather’s thought go blank
to thrill climate in rejecting...
