Flippin' Nora

North West England gripped
Wallace, Gromit full of quips
on everyone's lips
Netflix chiefs ask Who's Nora...
why was this poor woman flipped?

Premium MemberNora the Pirate Queen is Rather Mean

She had blue eyes, but she was mean
I am speaking of Nora, the pirate queen
She tried to recruit the cousins, including me
I ran from her, for she was always nasty you see

I heard the only recruits that she could find
Was one willing dog and a cat who used to be mine
The cat was mean too,

NORA

Carefree-spirited, wild at heart she sped down the steep streets of San Fransisco
Racing heart torn to pieces pounding from her chest, even after a bottle of Cisco

Premium MemberNora Tries To Secretly Graduate

Nora told no one of her plan.
She had been secretly attending college for four years.
She did not expect to see anybody there except her friend Sug.
Sug could not keep a secret. She had told the press.
When Nora walked across the stage she heard “There’s grandma!”
The audience had been told to hold their applause.
Her relatives could

Premium MemberNora Holds Her Kingdom

gorgeous pink castle with rainbow unicorn
glittery dazzling flakes of winter beauty
sparkle as they flutter down over and over
shaken by Nora, a delighted princess
she revels that she can hold her kingdom in her hands
smiling as her ballerina dances in rhythm to the floating flakes
snow globe magic enticing an eight-year-old girl

Nora Is Getting Poorer

I feel for next-house Nora
Getting poorer and poorer:
A plant facing stem borer
While she seems a goal scorer 
Her idle hours rarer 
State of things not fairer...

Nora's younger: Victoria
Is doing well in Pretoria
And her cousin Eugenia
Sure to become engineer ;
In South Africa clever
And there could live forever
No causeless xenophobia
When with host shares her beer...

I feel for

Prayer in the form of a lullaby washes over the nursery
Quintessential feelings of hope, love and joyful expectation
The baby feels beloved, reposing into his relaxed happy emotions.
We hear it on the baby’s monitor and freeze. Who is singing?

Locking eyes, we jump from the table and run up there.
Slowly open the door. The baby is fast

Premium MemberLumber Jack and Grandma Nora

Lumber Jack likes his pancakes with kernels of sweet Iowa corn
Freshly picked out of his Great Grandma Nora’s garden
She spoils him by warming up his maple syrup and melting his butter.
He is a forty-six-year-old great grandson who lives at home
With his mother’s grandmother,
a kind hearted woman whom he carries from room to room
because at ninety-six

Premium MemberWorld of Nora

Her name was Nora, she had not had a house since she was in her twenties.
Parents died, her money ran out, her emotional illness kept her in the streets.
She was not just content, she was happy. Her life was fine; she had friends. 
She sang, danced, and played her days away. In the evenings she

Premium MemberNora Grey

In vacant halls, in her negligee,
A marvelous dream is Nora Grey.
Moonbeams scatter as she goes,
She smells of the rose!
She's in a purple mood,
Enjoying the quietude;
And longing for,
Thinking of,
Missing the past-
It went too fast!
Night plays a summer tune-
The jasmine's in bloom!
The spirit of yesterday
Has come here to stay!
Empty halls echo the night,
Windows admit silver moonlight;
Suddenly, in

Nora Aunor

By George P. Lumayag
https://georgelumayag.weebly.com

The Super Snow Moon lighted our bleeding hearts,
That we’re staging the National Arts Month in February;
It reminded us to the king like the powerful wolf 
Who defaced the rules of artistry
That he butted his unverified thoughts 
To the heroine’s genuine and overconfident performances of art 
That surpassed beyond a national badge of

Premium MemberNora

I see the girl
with a smile in her eyes
How is it I suddenly realize
her name I know, Nora

She appears whenever
I'm ill at ease
Her eyes they flirt and tease
I smile and all is good
because of Nora

Others I tell of Nora
how I begin to adore her
The times we spend hand and hand
always together but never planned
always with

A Teaching Moment For Little Nora

Little Nora and Grandpa Bill
sit on swings in Grandma’s garden.  
A hummingbird arrives to sample

the brilliant flowers at this buffet. 
Grandpa Bill sees a teaching moment 
and asks little Nora with a smile  

if hummingbirds have beaks or bills.
Little Nora has a teaching moment,  
says, “Grandpa, they have straws."

Getting high off 'Mary Jane'
 that pungent potent weed
 sticking needles in your veins
 and getting higher than you need

 'Aunt Nora' wont let you blow your nose
  'French fries' will leave you in its throes
 Moonshine will make you slur your speech
 and sobriety may be too far to reach

  'Scooby snacks'

Premium MemberFrom a Ruby Garland For George and Nora - My Parents -

Europe was frozen in a tide of hate
The genius Jew was being persecuted
Bound to the intransigence of fate
His violin played the tunes they executed
Now it was time to think as they electrocuted
The hopes of young people in the dawn of their history
Whose own stories would have so much mystery

Down in the baker’s the story ran
