Premium Member Roses For Pd

Roses are red. Violets are blue,
But Violets for you, PD, just won’t do!
Roses mean passion, for roses are red,
And though I don’t want this to go to your head,
PD, you’re sweeter than dozens of roses
So those who give violets to you ---- Up their NOSES.

A thousand red roses for you. No, a TON,
For you are too awesome and way too much fun.
I’ll take off the thorns from each rose one by one,
And finally when all of my thorn-picking’s done,
I’ll wrap them up nicely in big bright bouquets,
The fragrance of thousands to last many days!

Roses are friendly, but violets are shy.
I won’t give violets to just have you cry!
Happy Valentine’s Day to my good friend, PD,
For your zaniness, wit and your sweet poetry.
May you ever remain in this fun tight-knit group,
The spice that enhances our Poetry Soup!

Premium Member The Value of Simplicity In Poetry

          God, I am but 
          a mere poet.
          Heaven knows, 
          I show it.

          Not here to wash 
          poets in the grand
          waves of the Sea of                
          Thesaurus.

          Speaking for myself 
          and others,it really    
          bores many of us.   
       
          Nor in imagery so  
          grandiose there are             
          too many of those!

          Like an uncontrollable,          
          garden hose.

          I just try to be honest   
          and clear!

          No tricks, no zaniness  
          like a runaway, deer.

          I keep my poems short     
          I do respect your time.

          You will find truth, I do
          promise.

           No falsehoods of any
           kind!

Premium Member Mother Zamia Tree

A lot of really big trees had died to make that desk. His mother had probably gnawed them down, used her nails to saw the boards, and finished the decorative cutwork with her tongue.
Jennifer Crusie


My mom kept a patch of zamia trees,
          freeze brook zigzagged and zinged,
      zesty zephyr's laid cape from breeze,
                    zap zander tinned.

She accomplished zoning using a zax,
          she led my zest and dream,
      I can't cool off, I can't relax,
                    zealous esteem. 

She shields me from rain and zenithal wind,
          she kept zeal to be strong,
      by lead and zaniness of mind,
                    zigs right from wrong.

Premium Member Zany

"If having a sense of humor is considered crazy, 
tell me I'm zany before you walk out my door."             
                                            ~ by poet
                        


My poetic friends are very zany
Their humor indicates they are brainy
Limericks they oft' write
Bring laughter to the site
They are rays of sunshine when it's rainy

Zaniness is an art that gives pleasure
Such quirky talent goes beyond measure
Their farcical style
Makes many of us smile
Witty minds are valued as a treasure

Labeled bizarre, whimsical, or sappy
Zany cockamamy makes us happy
They take away a frown
When we are feeling down
Even if their limericks are crappy
