His logic was not the kind
that sprang from a sound mind.
To wit, he defined a catalyst
as a feline specialist;
and, by his logic (and now yours),
concluded that an analyst
must likewise be a specialist –
if you’re slow, don’t analyze this!
I
dismiss
the belief
we are alone
in the universe
as somewhat ludicrous.
The Holy Bible states
that the sons of God,
or watchers, and
the daughters
of Man
bred.
I
believe
that among
all the planets
orbiting their stars
we’ll find life is common.
And aliens mined Earth
and left puzzles
in the form of
wonderment,
carved in
stone.
LUDRICROUS
“A dish, a bowl, a cone, a cloud?”
“A cloud?” I ask.
I’m clearly dreaming, once again,
a craving this strong. “I’ll take
them all,” I say. The angel says,
“Now that’d be silly, Miss!”
You’d not believe how hot
it’s in my dream. I’m soaked.
My tongue does fantasize
this afternoon.
“I’ll take vanilla
topped with sliced strawberries,
drizzled chocolate
and whipped cream.”
I’ll need a nap,
but if I sleep,
I’ll find myself
ordering all over again.
She says, “will that be a strawberry
spoon, vortex or dish?”
This ice cream stop
is ludicrous.

Shadow of a dog scared the workers who were pouring our basement.
It looked like a giant dog; like a Marmaduke of a dog, like a beast.
One of the workers crawled out of the pit to have a closer look.
It was a friendly dog with a huge body and enormous head
It had the shortest tiniest legs ever put on a dog with a body this size.
A weird combination of dog, moving slowly as it scampers away.
The ears flapping behind, making it look even more ludicrous.
Continuous,
Venomous,
E. Pluribus,
Ludicrous.
They proved that Trumped is very venomous
Our poor country as well as Unum e. pluribus,
And oh no;
Again we go;
As usual he is talking and looking ludicrous.

Here is how I accepted the challenge.
all hail the world's bane
ludicrous caligula
terrible buffoon
riding on an ass, an ass
sliding on banana skins

Madness zips through my head
Giving me loads & loads of dread
Marry me, satisfaction
Divorce me, dissatisfaction
Tag along, positivity
Don’t keep up with me, negativity
My dark, dark desire
Is stirring up heartfire
The afterlife will come sooner or later
I would rather be a ludicrous lover than a loathsome hater
Bring to life my happiness – lift me up above this cold, heartless floor
Get along with me, joyous laughter & laugh with me, don’t sneer at me…
You must be joking or out of your mind, are you? I love you to the core
So, don’t say otherwise – keep pace with me & most certainly…most likely…
You’ll find peace in mind
Our love was plastic?
No, our love was epic
My infatuation towards you
Came out of the blue....blue.....
Loud-Mouthed and Ludicrous
On my behalf this poem have been writing
Hoping it will be something so exciting
That by the time it is finally read
You will have forgotten what I just said.
Now can no longer remember anything
And often it seemed as if I was being
Beyond belief and totally astounding
And heart very hard has been pounding.
Overjoyed yourself were about to find
And also preferred having peace of mind
Miraculous birthday poem might write like this
While people think I am loud and ludicrous.
Even ended poem with your name.
How about that? Jim Horn
Laugh at me in absurdity
Until you die you shall live in infamy
Death has shown me
Illicit things the world may never see
Chivalry never meant much for me
Ruminating over all I'd never be
Obviously dyeing to know what peers think
Until the day I die I will be an antagonist
Sweet vanguard never knew what I missed, what ludicrous.
Have u ever been in love?
makes u vulnerable, like the kites above.
open ur chest and opens up ur heart,
allowing to mess up, in ways absurd.
U build up all defenses,
u build up a suit of armor,
To no use it is,
it creeps like a burgular.
The stupid u, the stupid one
wanders into ur stupid world,
And u give them a piece of u,
for which they never asked.
And then one day something
stupid happens,
A kiss, a touch, a smile,
renders u hapless.
And then ur life is
not yours anymore,
confusion, dillema, sleeplessness
outpour.
And then she sends
'may be we should b friends'
leaves u sulking, bemoaning'
and everything ends.
Speak freely, the words that no one hears,
your rights upended in passing years.
Demand of your leaders, promises made,
campaign trails, like snails, fade.
Break from the mighty, purchased power,
pocketed influence for every hour.
Hold fast to those principles, fading out,
crumbling ideals, swept clean with doubt.
Mock of the mighty, this world unknown,
can I call this freedom? Do I call this home?
Foolish little girl
Makes a naughty mistake
Treats those hard nosed
With a blizzard
Take a peek
That shameless smirk
Turns upside down
Twigging what she’s lost it
No one identifies
Ludicrous
The miner
On a pile of black gold?
Don’t outshine
The dim light in the dark pool
There not worth
To polish that shoe
Now shake off:
That gold digger act
Can’t last so long
Don’t wait for life to react
