Long Mcwhirtle Poems

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three

Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see

Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee

Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality...

5:30 in the morning,
Sleep disturbed by an ungrateful sound,
Mind racing, body escaping,
But forced to surrender,
conformed to the social norm,
Disguised in a uniform, labelled,
For what I suppose to be.

Caffeine induced, emotions serene,
Driving back to a job...

I’m trying to do something to stop from thinking only of you
But I suppose that’s the...

HAPPY HOLLIDAYS
~~~~~*~~~~~

Storms in summer not nice!
Torrents falling as solid ice!
Holliday makers pay the price,
indoors now, must sadly suffice.

Oh no, lightning and thunder,
made this holiday a blunder.

Stuck indoors not on the agenda
Altercations, yes! I do so...

Infinite bottomless
Infinite limitless
Limitless stamina
Limitless energy
Energy overload
Energy burdening
Burdening burgeoning
Burdening flourishing
Flourishing enterprise
Flourishing company

Company safeguarding
Company sheltering
Sheltering enemies
Sheltering predators
Predators sauntering
Predators wandering
Wandering aimlessly
Wandering mindlessly
Mindlessly faltering
Mindlessly fidgeting

Fidgeting nervously
Fidgeting worriedly
Worriedly galumphing
Worriedly galloping
Galloping anxiously
Galloping fruitlessly
Fruitlessly gathering
Fruitlessly harvesting
Harvesting wastefully
Harvesting foolishly

Foolishly challenging
Foolishly strenuous
Strenuous exercise
Strenuous practicing
Practicing...

Sighed Adam to Eve:
“Because you were deceived,
Like a fool, I believed.
Sadly, all our conceived
Will be sorely bereaved.”

Well, that should be it, right?
No, boys and girls, not quite!

So you can hear what they were all up...

Thundering Blunderbuss!
What is a platypus?
Looks like a beaver, but 
Has a duck's bill.

Fairly cute little guy,
Ornithorhynchidae*
Lives in Australia, is
On the no-kill.

Semi-aquatic and
Strangely neurotic, it
Lays eggs like birds and has
Venom like snakes.

Weirdly amphibious,
Bio-fluorescent fur
Webbing between the...

Hummingbird hardly heard,
airily, merrily
extraordinarily
effortless floating, near
weightless transparency,
seemingly without the
slightest of care.

Urgent persistency,
terribly panicky,
frenzied and frantic, she's
burning through energy
rapidly, hungrily;
precise machinery
executes there.

Mallard so lazily,
buoyantly floating on
glassy flat waters, he
glides on the surface, and
wanders unhurriedly,
conveying contentment,
trivial feat.

Feet...

What happened to you?
You used to be so sweet.
The one and only guy,
My eyes would ever meet.

You were my man,
Once upon a time.
Giving me flowers,
And sweet valentines.

Now all I know,
Is you deserted me.
Won’t look me...

You’re just an dirty old man
today you dared to touch my hair
To be honest I find you repulsive
of my feelings you are unaware

You make me feel uncomfortable
how I wish you wouldn’t stare
Just get it into...

Deception reception:
Horrified audience,
Receivers believing
Satisfies goal

Gaslighting, creating
Altered reality
Verity lost somewhere
Deep in a hole

David once raged against
All the injustices
Voicing his frustrations
Starting each psalm

Working his anger out
Stanza by stanza, then
Reaching conclusion so
Peaceful and calm

Things are not perfect now
Confusion,...

two McWhirtles

My cane has gone missing,
Hoveround showed up
of whom I sing praise for
supporting my girth.

I rise to stand strong on
two legs that are weakened,
and feel a bit useless, 
retired sense of worth.

Not poppin' a wheelie,
not...
