Adventures In Doggerel
When I was a lad and somewhat brash
I often read the poems of Ogden Nash,
whose humourous rhymes on many themes,
was motivation for my own poetic dreams.
Later when I took to reading Edgar Allen Poe,

Hopes and Dreams
If we had never met,
Who would I be?
With all your quirks and oddities,
You taught me how to laugh.
With your limitless witticisms,
You made my mind sharp.
By gifting me your friendship,
You taught me how to care for...

Malaphorisms, or, Sayings Unsaid
We grew up with aphorisms--
Pithy, witty observations;
Some may only be sophisms
That were passed through generations.
Old but not anachronisms,
They’re still true in many nations.
They have kept their witticisms
And established strong foundations.
As I’m fond of verbalisms,
I have...

Free Cee a Town Called Gentle
A TOWN CALLED “GENTLE”
a soft still stream hides behind a small hill
in my hometown
it's near where the highway ends
and where flowers bloom all year long
in a town of three thousand
there's a crooked road which leads...

Halloween Tricksters
Kids nowadays don't know the fine art of staging Halloween tricks,
(Though they are very adept at fleecing me for candy to get their kicks!)
Tricks we did as kids would no doubt today land us in...

Cowboy's Face
Softly dimmed flecks of green within eyes of ocean blue
Shining deep within a black hole of darkness, a soul light and true
Creases of age and time traced by the teardrops of pain once cried
High cheekbones...

Witticisms
By: Tom

If a man tell an untruth today in jest,
And straightens it up on the morrow,
Does it yet remain a lie?
The witness that I show to another,
Either empowers positive change or reinforces a negative...

His Poetic Din

to hear the well-versed Buddha
part with a few simple sonnets
and some wry observations on sheep
and pulling the wool over eyes
not a huge media event, to be sure
but enough for a literary...

Tell Me Everything
A misanthrope yet addicted
To your praise
Inclined to enslave
And beckon come and see
We can trade witticisms
Or discuss the front page
You can confide every fetish

Even if it's 50 Shades
I'll conceal every page
Of our correspondence

Rattling Washington's Cage
President Trump has rattled Washington's cage
with an unlikely combination of technology and rage
He's twittered and texted sharp barbs, targeted criticism
at oversensitive pols, used to kow-towing and witticisms
He's shaken up the stuffed...

Birthday Rebirth
Reborn here now without baggage.
Every year, as I'm delighted.
From friends and forebears as adage.
Roaring new birthday, beloved.
Most pals are cheerful and friendly.
Reborn here now without baggage.
Smile, share witticisms with glory.
As though it were...

Keeping Her Head
Great Scot delusions of grandeur!
The merry queen with her rosary,
her entourage, ooh la la funereal
shroud and veil; her head bound high.
There’s that sparkle in her eyes,
witticisms, critiques; she’s not meek.
The English parade won’t wrangle her.
She’s...

Watch Out For Wonderful Witticisms
A wonderful witticism, wittily said,
Can often fly past a non-thinker’s head.
Sometimes they are angry, a bit like a barb.
If that is the truth, wearing Saturday garb,
You might want to keep them only for special times
To...

If you asked I would tell you of my secrets
If you asked I would tell you of my secrets
Soft furry things that comfort weary souls
Harsh thorns rebuffing prying doubts
Stoic sentries peering through stone eyes
Cold lips that scorn the warmth of love
Soft thoughts that dare...
