Long Moppet Poems

Mrs Moppet decided to go to the beach
as it was such a sunny day.
Loading up her car with kids and picnic
they set off singing as they went.
The road was long and very twisty
and half way...

Angel you are and you will forever be
Your magical feathery touch
And mouth-watering dishes much
From our birth to your death 
Loved you we did, with all our heart
For you are our very breath

Love us you will...

I


Which time is better?
Which season is better?
Which companion is better?
Which age is better?
Were some of my thoughts as......

I carried my drowsy cherub on my shoulders

MOON

I’m appears in the sky
In the dark and after the dusk.
In the morning sun gives a light
To the celestial world
People cannot watch the sun
Through his eyes constantly
In the pleasantful night with
Breezy air, enveloped them

I have a strange malady
curiously effecting me
for I am very susceptible
to words of a variety

Words like cushlamachree
or hobbledehoy

at a fantastic rate
things like bamboozle, bumfuzzle
blatteroon, and bombinate!
Bogged down in...

My little Nicole had grown
What cradle doth she now lay without fatherly kiss?
How is my fairest one now turned a mist that hast flown?

It grieves to sing lullabies to...

its wood now riddled with timeless lies.
A cat in a dark corner will not look at it.
Mice cower under its grim shadow.

In a twilit...

As a moppet he was never afraid of the dark,
he never understood that fear.
From the start
he knew this non-specific creature of terror
wasn’t real;
It was his mom’s attempt
to modify his behavior.

when polka dots become the wearers.
An audience roars…a  pained choreograph;
behind the scene,  the wounded howl tears.

What man is he who tugs the moppet strands?
Twisting acts at...

Innocent, juvenile, moppet
I am a child
Courageous, gallant, dauntless
I am a free spirit
Hearing, heeding, harking
I am a listener
Open, direct, frank
I am honest
Liberal, understanding, unsparing
I am generous
Trite, worn out, bathetic
I am tired
Divided, severed, separated
I am divorced
Forebearer, ascendant,...
