Wearing the champion beau crown
William's port the dude's tug was bound
Sapphire ring
Shined with bling
Lucky, very happy
Not sappy
Snow coming down hard
Staring from the bar
"Time, I carry out this mission,
It is her decision,
Destiny on my side
She will decide
Doing the right thing
Since I am her King"
There she was
Showing Princess buzz
Until the liberty bell sent a response
"Anything else are their wants?
Voice shouted, filled with demand
Making the command
"Formal nice white dress
Bridesmaids will be impressed
Romance
Special dance
Day reserved for me
Is what I decree"
Months later
Brotherly love paid her
Weather turned warm
And a family was born
Creating a Queen for the day
Hearing people say
"Good luck," sending off the pair
Confirming a permanent affair
Loving emotions that cannot be compared
Since once the key stone is unlocked
Married couples are off the marketing block
I count my strides
Since I know how to ride
The idea is to figure out a problem
And if I do it with grace, I can honestly say I got em.
With every fence I take
I really hope I can make
Since a rail goes down
Everybody in the arena will have a frown
But when I do it clear
What do I hear?
But the clapping cheers
Of those enjoying being here
It is the Grand Prix with fences so high
That my horse and I
Will hang on tight giving it a nice try
After everyone goes
It is off to the jump off to see who is best in show
Where the spectacle turns into a race
If all the fences stay in their place
So, after the class presents a winner
We go enjoy dinner
Reflecting on what was done
And knowing it was quite fun
Penn and Teller
I wrote the notes clear as day
So obvious I would not be here to stay
On earthly lands with mortal souls
They danced the nights as the stars have sung
I knew my destiny was rope and hung
The knife that cut my heart in two
Twas really just words, shouted by you
Words of pen, like a knights sword of thrust
I was killed by the coldness and the lack of lust
It’s I, with the darkness that did what I must
Kicked the chair and bit the dust
Notes to poem: This is a play on words with the names of one of my favorite magical acts, Penn and Teller. A dark topic, I would be curious if a few here get the word play, of course the notes themselves hint it, and I am leaving the notes here for 2 hours, so all 30,000 Soupers can read them!
Ps: I love just about all of the poems from poets I have read here, thank you so much.
an aging celebrity Penn
will every now and again
demand our attention
he'll build up the tension
he just never knows to say when.
Sean Penn
we're not exactly sure when
met with El Chapo
in his underground chateau.
Penn Avenue Blues
Forever I roam
I have no home
And I’m alone
My heart is cold
And my bones grow mold
My soul has been transposed
Love doesn’t glow between my toes
I’ve had too much blow up my nose
My life is about to close
I’m a clone of a ghost
I need a strong cup of French Roast
