Long Jousted Poems

A field day shoe fit for Mother Goose
  
Fruitless effort squeezing figurative juice
Pandora called triggering 
helter skelter to get loose
necessitating Bullwinkle J. Moose
to usher at yours truly 
(an aspiring wordsmith) vamoose!

Mother Goose would find her tail feathers ruffled 

Hey diddle diddle 
the cat and the fiddle
when off to see 
a crooked man and woman,
whilst cowards jumped 
over moo ving little
pair of mismatched muggles,
who both walked...

About some bundle of days
Back, I lived a life of unforgettable days
Because many things happened.
I collided with a single living matter
That jousted me in many ways,
Defeated me and dazed me in many ways,
She used many...

This piece could be, I suppose, a kind of "bucket list", but it's not about regretting all the things I wanted to do in my life and didn't, but, rather, it's about being okay with...

They always made me happy, 
The camels of the wise men, 
The slowness of their footsteps, 
Their self-sufficient ben. 

Camels meant there was time, 
For the three wise men to think,

Daddy read another fairy tale and nightly prayers were said.
He tenderly kissed his little princess and gently tucked her in bed.
Pausing to gaze upon her sweet face lying in innocent repose,
He mused, "She's more beautiful...

Anxiously anticipating annual activity

Blissfully bound by bravado

Consuming cold contagious concoction

Dizzily developed devilish desire

Eagerly expecting ego's enlightenment

Feverishly foraged familiar fraternity

Garnished gowns graciously gathered

Hopeful heralded hithered happenstance

Instantly intimated identical ideologies

Jointly jousted jovial juxtaposition

Kaleidoscopic keepsake kept kinetic

Longing languid...

Christmases come and Christmases go, with them comes the thought 
Of all the childhood memories that the passing years have brought

Sugar plum fairies, winged Angels, circling the snow swept skies
Broken heart, tear's and fears, crooked...

The bare branches were shaking,
twigs rattled like ill-fitting teeth.
