Long Splurged Poems

The poor boy heard Christmas beckoning at the door
He saw every house bright with many a lamp
And streets illumined with colorful lights and stars
But his tiny hut looked dismal n’ dark like a prison camp

December came with Christmas beckoning at the door
He saw every house bright with many a lamp
And the whole streets illumined with colorful lights and star
But his tiny hut looked dismal n’ dark like a prison...

Anne Murray did have quite the flurry, voice as a brook without crooks
 Canadian born, songs of forlorn, beautiful vibes, I subscribed
Such singing as a bird, the world has never heard, she splurged
“O Little Snow...

I can’t see a damn thing; it’s that time of night
The road is too dim, but the sunset’s too bright.

I’m driving by sounds, yes, I’m driving by feel.
In a couple of minutes, guess I’ll grab...

Her face was splurged with white powder
An illusion of mask under the white cover
Red and black accents her eyes and brows
Lips like flower buds cool in the afterglow

Like a maiko pursuing her ardent dream
To dance...

If I could but do things all over again,
retrace my steps back to where I started,
I would do things quite differently.

I shouldn’t have…

   idiotically fallen for your innocent exterior,
   blind to...

The running man is drenched in sweat
as she flies by in her Corvette,
the music's loud, the bass turned high,
he feels the thrum as she flies by.

He winces at her green Corvette,
she reaches for a cigarette,
he...

No Doubt , It'll Be You ,
With Whom I'll Come Through ,
It would be raining and I'll be there ,
Times among the clouds in the air.

If I were a Bird I would fly to you...

The rabbi had a lot of trouble
Blowing the shofar.*
The congregation waited
But the sounds were just bizarre.

Some strangled bursts of air came out
But music was resistant.
The notes he tried to play, I’d say,
Were pretty non-existent.

He tried...

you don't understand
is a line I often hear
especially from those
who hold pain so dear

rather than share
and relate their misery
they chose to dwell
within their own agony

to say "you don't understand"
is an easy thing to do
but do...

How I love this time of year
When Christmas markets beckon!
All major cities have them
And some small towns, too, I reckon.

The festive booths display their wares,
A lot of them hand-crafted,
Their quality assuring you
That no, you won’t...

Oh, what a gift- our Life!  Just stop and think;
each day that comes and goes slips quickly by.
Before we know it- gone in just a blink;
another follows to live well- apply.

Sometimes, a banked-on, steady...

That was pristine white,
innocent like dove,
it was neat and small,
but flowed in the ever land,
do not  know where and when,
she had acquired its stocks,
she splurged it generously,
like a spendthrift spoiled,
mostly they loved her delirious,
for...

As an avid movie fan,
I loved to go and see
A film the day it opened
And my husband would agree.

We’d meet up on a Friday night;
I held our place in line
And once inside, we’d scope out...

The other day I did some chores
That I’d been putting off.
It made me feel so good
But hear me out before you scoff.

They weren’t monumental things –
They’d languished on my list;
Yet every time I'd thought of...

My moisturizer’s from Clinique.
When I am running low,
I wait until it’s bonus time
And to the store I go.

For give-aways are advertised – 
With purchases, of course;
You have to spend a set amount,
Which all the clerks...

These days, my days, come in stanzas 
grouped by mood and circumstances.
Older days linger longer in so many ways
less in a daze, less lost in a maze,
with muse engaged in self contemplation
old hands of time...

Limerick(question mark)


Jack asked Jill out on a date
Jill felt that with their names it was her fate
Jack splurged and took Jill to Dairy Queen
For his favorite chili-cheese-onion, foot long
Gaseousness Jack had not foreseen

Despite the crappy...

It’s easy to do nothing – 
Sit at home and park your tush,
But sometimes you must give yourself
A not-so-gentle push.

And so, on this delightful day
With sunshine in the sky,
I took the subway to a store
With...
