I imagine little house on the prairie
(bordering Lake Woebegone),
a place to hang cloak
most bucolic, edenic, idyllic...
apropos place for this poetic cowpoke,
who at present day trumpets
himself as token panhandler
of Perkiomen Valley, a
genteel, gentile, and gentle
Semite with friendly okie doke
demeanor easily mistaken
for dishabille and disheveled drunk,
nonetheless harmlessness, I evoke
espied by any man, woman and child
in these parts predominantly
non kosher festive folk,
(especially at Old Pool Farm

quick witted with zealous
wordplay, quips and/or
oy gavalt hexameter innocent joke
adroit, capable, das strict
test electrifyingly
faux gerrymandered,
incredible ventriloquist
nsync with karaoke
reaching within my
rabbinical bag of tricks
succeeding with flying colors
par excellent masterstroke
or sometimes more'n one ministroke
never abracadabra prestidigitation
to insult nor poke
fun at anybody but yours truly,
though even lampooning
self could provoke
unwittingly etiquette revoke
king welcome as town
pauper, inscrutable hobo
(phobic) figure, beggar
pummeled By George with
thoroughly good soak
king courtesy rotten tomatoes
if gibes overly saucy
subsequently shuffling off into sunset
emulating Charlie Chaplin
encountering wealthy patron
as blessed thunderstroke
before getting struck by lightning!
This study focus
On simple things
To flush out clutter
This reading lesson
On knowing more
With less to keep
This moving session
Of learning how and why
To purge the complex
This self-help study
To better understand
The posture attitude
This knowing essence
In word flow poise
To string elegance
This inner journey
From looking outside
To glimpse the moon
This outer wordplay
Of experiential seeing
To a shared fragment moment
This learning feeling
In present awareness
Of sublime innocence
This urgent impulse
Of captured strains
In obscure things plain

Can you tell me
How I can see
Truth and beauty
Can you then show
The cause of flow
When all seems slow
Can you then cite
The words to write
That do not bite
Can you sign here
Worth that feels dear
In spite of fear
Can you help ploys
To bring fond joy
In kind employ
Can you fund fun
In style and pun
When syntax runs
Can you reverse
What lines observe
As rhymes converse
Can you feed zest
In wordy quest
In hungry fest
Can you be nice
To add some spice
Not critic vice
Can all things good
Fill lyric food
As desserts mood
Can each wordplay
Upon our stay
Spring wholesome say

WORDPLAY
Scores of work to read and think deeply
Stores of enthusiasm can reduce steeply
Snores are heard and can attract curses
Snorts from a few less tolerant nurses
Sports offer very different entertainment
Shorts that sometimes lack containment
Shirts bearing logos of sponsors’ brands
Shires with accents nobody understands
Spires of churches that need renovation
Spares at the ready for every occasion
Spores of inspiration should be heeded
Shores with grass dunes, never weeded
Shares in publishing may remain frozen
Stares received if no works are chosen
Starts and endings complete all verses
Ephemeral online moment...
Yours truly plagiarizes himself with zeal
courtesy mental cogs and rusty wheel,
thus no literary crime committed to steel
I broadcast material shown thru rickety
black and white Roman Times newsreel
forthwith shoddy wordplay exempts me
against copyright infringement meaning
only I own privilege to take self to heel,
nevertheless yours truly hoops longshot
to score brownie points a higher power,
I will not cajole, bribe nor appeal...
while sitting on haunches horsing around
contemplating how to clearly expound
idea that the here and now does not exist
cuz no sooner then present moment
experienced than bitta bing bitta bang...
little block of time immediately gone,
hence quite profound...
Whereby present, i.e.
2:24 PM March 4th, 2021
instantaneously becomes past.
Linkedin thru tenuous
webbed world wide
electronic thread defied
no matter flurry of emails/
messages exchanged flattery applied
courtesy transient online
tête à tête downside
cyber venue offers convenient exit
personal aversion, I chide
brevity figurative thorn in side
futile effort Androcles tried
I haint lion, familiarization denied
fledgling cyber acquaintanceships
dead on the vine, yours truly sighed
potential friendship never fortified,
cuz immediate value judgement cast,
instantaneously prejudiced aversion
perhaps hidden agenda implied
maybe intimated illusions of grandeur
netiquette nuances overstepped, I chide
yours truly vouchsafe
absolute zero great expectation
love smitten wounds pride,
the Italian girl in Algiers
inchoate mystique forever unknown
nonetheless fantasize bartered bride
figment of overactive imagination
hence grist for poetry mill
grateful fleeting rapport tried
to take flight before sputtering
doomed to dustbin of history (mine)
filed within memory as template guide
against future unnecessary disappointment
best stick to your guns abide
against infatuation lest
conjured lass doth override
focus on reality no matter who espied
Facebook post, tis foolhardy
to allow, enable, and provide leeway,
hence aimless thoughts elide
dear boy, ya never learned always denied
rapture becoming ensnared
noose sense and sensibility stride
ding blindly, dumbly, foolishly...,
into own perilous entrapment, verstehen?
Feel fragrant fate
Dazzle dream date
Watch wordplay wing
Slurp sensuous spring
Sense something strange
Ripples room range
Opt oozing ounce
Bright blessings bounce
Lift lovely lines
Vet vicious vines
Speak soft sweet sounds
Glimpse grace groom grounds
Let laughter loom
Bright blessings bloom
Humour hugs heart
Sense sacred starts
Apt answers aid
Prize puzzle paid
Charm clever clay
Pique profound play
Mind marvels mist
Glimpse gaudy gist
String simple say
Welcome wise way
Line lively lot
Puzzle pure plot
Style sanguine smile
Placid pace piles

I write poems for sly smirks and laughter
I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll
A reaction to some nonsense thereafter
Something to ease the ache of life’s toll
I want a hearty chuckle and an eye roll
A clever play on words in my wordplay
Something to ease the ache of life’s toll
A headshake with a grin on a hard day
A clever play on words in my wordplay
You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker
A headshake with a grin on a hard day
I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker
You like chocolate? I just gave you a snicker
I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see?
I’d read more bad puns if I could type any quicker
To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty
I write with my left, an ambidextrous rite left, see?
A reaction to some nonsense thereafter
To pepper you with jokes if you weren’t so salty
I write poems for sly smirks and laughter

Readers, please lend me your ears
I am Lord Avon, your lovely poet ,
have come here to clarify your doubts. I have mentioned seven stages of human. in my poem All the world's a stage. Human life has twelve stages. says psychologist of modern era
Anyway it's true that
The world is a stage, every one is a player
Pardon me ,
romance is found only in my later poems. I am a messenger of love
which is noticed in all my comedies
Readers you may accept that. I am the first poet
who introduced comedy and tragedy
I have given you a chance
to read comedies, tragedies and histories. My advise for the new poets
Rhyme scheme is not necessary for epics
Hardly you can find rhymes in my poems. Blank verse is well used in my poem. including metaphor,a poetic device. Monologue is criticized by some poets. It's a fashion of the Elizabethan Era
Used more pun in my poems
wordplay is a figure of speech. Punch dialogue is unknown to me
And I am a morning star. which shows way to new poets.
Come sit with me
As muse moves writes,
Truth and beauty
Frame words I cite.
Amuse my mind
As heart fronts feel,
Abide deep finds
As words can heal.
Come let me know
A certain way,
Cast and face show
Poise in fond play.
A touch sums lot
In succinct proof,
Feel flavours thought
In plain old truth.
Come to my aid
Dear soul unseen,
Words do get paid
From chimes within.
Align my heart
To cherish soul,
Word sculptures art
In a warm whole.
Come be my guest
As wordplay brisk,
Prize in full fest
Is nicely crisp.
Attest due rhymes
In sensuous brief,
Adjust to chimes
Through joy and grief.
Come let us see
The poise of choice,
Words in clear spree
Can channel voice.
Abide deep grace
As seasons change,
Watch time and space
Echo new range.

Hamlet Place, ACT
Groomed to never see it coming,
we wake the past in restless sleep;
Our two cents grounded in quicksand;
Poor spelling, no checking, it’s a virus;
It tends to appeal to the worst in us,
emotions cause us to fall for wordplay;

Click bait war based on hearsay.
Echo chambers manipulate current events,
escalated at once by infiltrating bots;
There’s nothing we can trust to be fact
chasing solar flares that will never relax;
Unable to sift though deep fake for truth,
our reality has become discombobulated;
Decisions based on he said she said,
repeating fluff from a game of ‘Telephone’.

Click bait war based on hearsay.
Left blowing up all the superfluous
into a toxic self-destructive storm;
We need a clean renewed source,
something pure that we can believe in;
Burn it down if we can’t make it better.
I promise you we can beat this system.
