Penelope Poems | Examples

Penelope Percheron

At popular Pennsylvania State Fair,
ponies were preparing for prissy pony pageant,
promenading ponies' pretty polished hooves,
parading promoter, Percival Poppycock,
promised prize-
pauses, perplexed,
as Penelope Percheron,
a primping draft horse,
prances into pavilion,
petite ponies patter,
prima donna Penelope presents
perfumed self,
pricey pink ribbons, pearly teeth,
panache!
Prestigious panel of judges
promptly present Penelope as
"Princess Pony",
she pirouettes, pulverizes display
of plentiful pumpkins,
pummeling stands,
pure pandemonium,
people, popcorn, peanuts everywhere,
Penelope picks herself up,
proceeds with precious Princess Pony prize,
proudly preening,
positively pompous!

Pixie Petula Penelope

playful prancing pixie Petula Penelope
prancing in a parade beside Patty and me
preventing platitudes from distracting playboys three
privately pestering both Patty and me

Penelope

Rose upon her lap,
Her exotic gaze,
Blushes its gardens
Reynaldo Casison

Pink Penelope

Pink Penelope Porcupine,
  Never had a dime.
  Often went to bed,
  Without a shred of bread!
  Until one day,
  She found a way.
  Renting out her spikes you see,
  To earn a living,
  While always giving,
  To the community.
  They loved to roast marsh mellows,
  And Pink Penelope porcupine,
  Rented hers out,
  Four for a dime.
  Today people say,
  "Pink Penelope porcupine,
  Always has a dime!
  She is tucked into bed,
  With bread and a spread!"

Penelope Tree

Teenage acne scarring
put an end
to your sojourn
your eyes as beautiful as dawn
glacial cheekbones
the shifting sands
of frozen time relieved
to the demure of wisdom
now realised

Poor Peter's Penelope

Poor Peter got married without a dime
  For cash for stocks for bonds he had no time
    Now what kind of wife
    Would live such a life
  Penelope writes poetry 'fool-time'

Penelope Lee

Penelope Lee was steampunk driven with purple hair.
Some people did not understand, they stood with a weirdo’s stare.
Her confidence pranced forth and lingered forever in the air.
For others opinions of her do not bother; she does not give a care.

Penelope and Her Visit

She did not like attention, so she sat in a corner, hugging a wall.
The room was dimmed, not dark, but her loveliness permeated.
Men and women of a variety of ages were led to her corner.
She was unassuming, bordering on bashful, they liked her countenance.
.
So quiet, so delicate, so lady-like, they agreed in quiet tones later.
Respectful and polite. She was the best listener on the planet.
Several asked for her name, but it was not given to any.
I knew she was here, the hostess said. They described her perfectly.

Her daughter had been killed in a freak buggy accident years earlier.
The flowered headdress described was the one they buried her in.
I wish I could see her myself, her mother said.
When it is time,  replied her spirit guide.

Penelope and Her Rat

Penelope has the look of haughty
I doubt she could ever be naughty
She has a trained rat
That once ate a cat
Truly I am just being snotty

Penelope has ways that are distinct
Her wordage is curt and succinct
Her rat will gnaw your face
A simple disgrace
Neither thinks their feces doth stink

Pepe Le Pew and Penelope Pussycat

Pepe Le Pew
Quest for love he would always pursue
But his over enthusiastic romantic way
Is rejected by a skunk look alike who keeps running away.


Penelope Pussycat
Smothered in kisses and squeezes she would always combat
A black cat with an accidental painted white stripe 
Penelope knew she wasn't that type.

Focused Penelope

Penelope had a defiant high chest
Was it real? Many wanted to test.
She ignored men.
Outstudied them.
Became editor of Science Digest.

''Odysseus in Contemplation of His Homecoming to Ithaca and Reunion with Queen Penelope'' Reprised

Far from this antique bay and moor,
     your plaintive voice sung for my soul,
and lifted me to Ithaca's shore.
     Can longing's echoes loudly toll,
and invite me to your front door,
     like gods that decreed from a scroll.

I sailed to Troy and far beyond,
     to go and fight an epic war.
Men joined, forming paired, loving bonds
     to be their bright and glowing North Star.
I took a boy, a vibrant blonde,  
     with whom I shared many battle scars.   

With Poseidon, the fates between, 
     the sea opposed us. But I loved 
the youth, Penelope my Queen.
     Please forgive us, my loyal dove,
and spare us from your jealous spleen,
     so Zeus sends no bolts from above.

I loved you, but desire's arrow,
     against my willpower pierced my heart!
Compelled by Cupid's dart and bow,
     we made love. To honor royal art,
I cede my throne: — but you can't know,
     loving you both tears me apart.
Without you, I was forced to grow?

Penelope Bower

Here lies Penelope Bower
Born by blood and water – like us all.
Then she died that way too – from a fall
while taking a bloody shower.

Odysseus and Penelope

Does true love is worth waiting for?
 
Where are you my Odysseus?
For love and eternity I will be yours,
I will love thee for my whole life
Will see no one but you as my true love…
 
My heart will wait for you to come
Even 20 years may past, I will never run
For your love I will never seize from waiting
Even it will take long for my longings…
 
I know our love is for eternity
You and I are meant to be
For an everlasting love is our destiny
I will be yours and you will be mine eternally…
 
Come to me soon and let’s be free
I will love you wholeheartedly
For I your Penelope
Will wait for you devotedly…

Penelope

Age with grace, sweet Penelope,
For in your age lies my youth;
Change with time,—but slowly still,—
And in your transitions drown my years.
The queen of my throne you truly are,
And with you I could ever be king;
Ten years with you at a stretch of time,
Are to me but few moments of life.
Oh, make this vow a seal unbreakable,
Forever steer my heart to your sails;
Stay with me all of your mortal life,
Make my heart the abode of your stay.
Dear Penelope the love of my heart,
Age with grace, save my youth.
