Long Resignedly Poems

Yours truly whiles hours away
reading out loud... tis not hearsay
cuz ears of mine relish... neigh
feast hearing spoken words, I do say
plus eyes (mine) drink one
or more letter combination yea.

Aforesaid pastime doth rarely
if ever tire hungry...

Morbid fascination (mine) as covid-19 pandemic...
foments rampant monopoly on bedlam

Wreaking ball (his stick) havoc (think ostensible
civil war scale not seen since Vietnam),
whereby microorganisms jamb

complements of gook
resembling green eggs and ham
necessitating Doctor Seuss

I Cannot Weight To Hmm...
Be Pressed By A Dumbbell

Two fifteen pound
     steely danse sing
     wrought iron dumbbells
     ill-tempered, impatiently,

I ain't gonna brag, boast, blab...,
lest yours truly suffers demise from backstab,
resignedly taking wheel of our automobile
donning, (but NOT trumpeting) 
role as taxi cab

shuttling the missus, (she effusively glad)
to medical appointment
me, the obliging husband
in order...

An occasional gust of wind will lift the translucent white voile curtains and then drop them like a child losing interest. The effect is like flash photography, a burst of sudden sunlight that paints our...

It all sparks off
With the mention of the park
Her white tail twirling
Relishing the renewal 
Of her communion with nature
Her contact with her ancestral past

Then off to the park in the car
Where ,after taking her ease,
She...

Anne Simpson Scott

1895- 1932

Friends, my friends,

I do remember.

On the night before leaving to France in 1917

George held my hand.

He held it firmly in his perspiring palm,

Held it and would not relinquish

His gallant grasp. I recall...

Clubbing it
Once I went to a night- club in Albufeira a dreadful place with 
garish colours and a man with a Hammond organ also played 
many instruments with a total lack of talent, when he...

I slowly unfurled the paper from the roll before my eyes -
So this would be my last farewell - my one great feat in life.
My thoughts were turned to others as I drew my Levi's...

In these quiet woods, as shadows spread,  
Timorous leaves whisper my secrets to the breeze.  
A sentinel of time I am among the malus trees. 
My roots run deep in my...

The girl stepped out her face amok
With lurid colors, set to shock
Four others came with mal intent
Hoods up, sinister, a desire to torment
Jeering voices in the dank of this night
Adrenaline flowing at this time of...

(Idle musings on the facade of Seville Cathedral)

How patiently they suffer, these old saints! 
Their sandstone features, crumbled, vague, 
some noses gone (some medieval ague, 
or Time's cruel drip?) they offer no complaints. 

Stranded seven...

As the lights die down in this old town
I sit and sip my beer;
Self-consciously I wear a frown
On the loneliest night of the year.

The revelry spills over distant hills
As the midnight hour looms;
Resignedly I raise...

Peaches have blossomed,
My heart has been doomed,
Your smile has my reality zoomed,
Towards your scarlet lips that I groomed.

Chasing your shadows blindly,
Hiding in your dark resignedly,
Glancing at how you smile divinely,
Looking at your dancing hair sublimely.

Through the shadows and valleys I have traveled
There were times my life seemed to come unraveled

Now some pieces of my past I've put behind me
No longer satisfied to live resignedly

I have realized my worth and...

Last night while I was watching the TV, 
The screen and whole house went completely dark.
A bald eagle had hit electric wire,
Causing a deadly and disastrous arc.
Grumbling much about the inconvenience
I resignedly went to an...
