Monotetra Poems

The Day Is Done Monotetra

watching now that last moment sun
it turns away and starts to run
leaving it's bright lit light for none
the day is done, the day is done.

Insane Jealousy-A Monotetra

Jealousy is a ball and chain 
 worn by those who always complain
  Blah, blah, blah in echoed refrain
   With such disdain   With such disdain

What does this person hope to gain?
 One like this will never hold reign
  When pessimism is their bane
   Shamefully vain

Love Was My Weakness-Monotetra

There is a weakness I must fight
Bane of my emotional plight
Holding me in its grasp too tight
My kryptonite       My kryptonite

I always thought that I was strong
and with this man I did belong
Love has me singing a torch song
My heart was wrong   My heart was wrong

When I felt

~ There's  Always  Hope ~ 
( Monotetra ) 


~O~


Things change all the time everyday, 
There are bad days, some a good day. 
Life brings troubles, gives us bad card. 
Life gets hard, life gets hard. 

~o~ 

Times are changing, sometimes go bad. 
Folks lose jobs, and they get so sad. 
Money is scarce,

Premium MemberTricoleuse

Unlike tricoleuse knitting room – 
I hadn’t much fun by light of moon.
The crows at dawn abated soon.
I fairly swoon – I fairly swoon.

Watered-Down Juice-Monotetra

A friendship made can often fade
I had one that quickly decayed
Loyalty was just a charade
I was dismayed      I was dismayed

My eyes did not at first conceive
the lies her tongue began to weave
Slanderous words that made me grieve
I was naive        I was naïve

She criticized

Premium MemberTale of a Tail: a Monotetra

This umbrella thing is not cool
I feel like such a silly fool
since I'm on my way to the pool
It's not a rule      It's not a rule

It's purple satin edged with pearls
Cute when carried by little girls
but too fancy for us squirrels
Yes, it furls

Monotetra Poetry - Out On the Lake

out on the lake, a moonlit night. 
bats' swoop, drink, skip, to my delight! 
missed sleeping ducks put them to flight! 
we duck in fright, we duck in fright! 

we, so sure they had not seen us, 
really had no need to fuss! 
they definitely quacked a cuss! 
oh! did we blush, oh! did we blush!

camera sensor caught them, great!
not the ducks

A Poetic Monotetra

I have written this poetry,
in a rhyme, that’s thought suitably
structured, and quite fittingly 
apt, as you’ll see. Apt, as you’ll see!

Monetetra, is uniform,
and I chose it as the platform,
to write this verse in fitting form, 
that would inform, that would inform.

I am perhaps a tad sublime,
for it takes forbearance and time,
to write a Monetetra rhyme.
For

Premium MemberTaste of Guinness, Scent of Heather: a Monotetra

Sunlit days I spent on the moor
Sweet Summer heather scents allure
Bathing in waves on Dublin's shore
Aye, Irish lore       Aye, Irish lore

Crumbling castles on exhibit
Pricey ticket;  warm day visit
Guinness stout without a limit
Tastes exquisite    Tastes exquisite

Stung by wild bees in clover leaves
Winded, needed the help of

Premium MemberIt Is Time - the Monotetra Style

~It Is Time~
(The Monotetra)


Time just arrives, and time just goes
And leaves right under our noses
Time is made of, all memories
And it just flows, and it just flows

There is no time for us to lose
With time we can never presume
Time brings us happiness or gloom
And time resumes, and time resumes

Time can be sad, time can be

~Saved By Jesus Christ Alone~
(Monotetra)


Once a King left His kingdom and throne 
To pay what needed be paid by Him alone, 
Lord  was willing to die for all sins sown, 
Make new as shown, make new as shown.

Hearing of  salvation plan make many men moan 
Make them remember in sin not alone

Stable Doors - Monotetra

Behind the stable doors of green,
the racing horses can be seen,
quite highly trained, they're strong and lean.
They must be seen! They must be seen!

All working there, they form a team;
the saddles and the bridles gleam.
Race prep'rations are a scheme
to win the cream! to win the cream!

They're waiting for the starter's call,
when they'll be taken from

At War With Nature - Monotetra

War with nature's a losing one,
it's just like spitting at the sun
No matter what, nature has won.
It is not fun. It is not fun.

Mankind can rape the forests broad,
with axe and chainsaw, trees are sawed,
but they grow back and we are awed.
Deserves a laud. Deserves a laud.

A species has become extinct,
but will arise, one more

A Kite Tale - Monotetra

A soaring kite was cut mid air;
a pine tree snared it in its hair.
The little girl thought 'twas not fair.
A bad affair! A bad affair!

Then it untangled, went its way,
to mount the sky on that bright day.
Sent greetings to a fat blue jay.
Oh, it was gay! Oh, it was gay!

Around the sky it swooped and
