Long Frump Poems

Moon sprites dotted the sky like lilies at dawn
    in a ballet meant to cause nocturnal delight.
While Fairies and Pixie Dust covered the lawn
    in a dance that would...

Number forty six - White House occupant re:
guarding President elect Joe Biden

Within mein hermitage
now dwells one euphoric troglodyte who wept
upon hearing unbelievable news,
(albeit at snail's pace schlepped
finally proclamation emancipation
gave reasonable rhyme yours truly to ejaculate

I saw this darling little chick,
she looked a swinging geezer.
I thought I’d move to get in quick.
Her name was Mona Lisa.

I thought she had a perfect face,
a most bewitching smile.
She swayed with such amazing grace.

A vociferous yowl came down to earth and slaughtered my soul
I was in deep sleep, lids were lead, and dreams were wavering spool
My problem sat on groove, heavy-hearted like slushy interference 
Passage of time was...

But which end is his Rump!

when I sit with writing pen in hand
That verse could flood my tablet
and let morning become my habit

muse's heartbeat set live and free
No sad...

When the ship sank I was on deck, my flute
sang a holiday, my legs were trembling like a whale
Cabin sat on whiskers, spills swerved the seas.
Dennis was close hey hey,check the wind,check...

Venerations Ablazed

Altruist veneration in an endeavour 
Let the dew drop onto the leaf
Untamed dew,but chose to fall
Upon the sordid soil in grief

Blossomed lilac benignly pleased
Nectar! quench the beetle's thirst
Beetle in lieu fought to escort
Whimsy pollen...

Once there was a man named Trump,
Whose hair was quite the frump,
He tweeted and he blustered,
But his speeches all just flustered.

He called himself a businessman,
But really just a Twitter fan,
He touted his great wall plan,
But...

Once a fuddy-duddy frump
Weared a fulvous dress 
in a conference hall
Spoke like a gallicism-
