Plain Jane Poems | Examples

List of Member Poems

Vex the hex that is X

Can you feel the real deal hoodoo or juju hex

One sex tech conquest & manifest wrecks perplex
  
Flex your cerebral cortex protest against the new Rex

Hullabaloo of voodoo we must contest & vex
  

Vain inane randy Deejays handy on dandy sandy decks

A bane.. vloggers..joggers & bloggers texts & trend treks 

Reign of hooray Henry’s forays with oversized unwise specs

Disdain from plain Jane “ex” glowering while devouring Tex Mex 

Train..campaign for brawn not brain.. divulging bulging necks & pecs

The lot have got an absurd follow the word of the herd complex


Flecks of lies flutter & splutter in the utter nutter echo chamber gutter that is “X”  

Never ending..mind bending curmudgeon bludgeon chorus of Tyrannosaurus Techs!

Premium Member P Q R S T U

Plain Jane Mrs. Poindexter Perry
Questioned quipster with a quarrelsome query
riling him up, down, on top and around
sappy sarcasm certainly not very sound
tearjerking interrogation turning treacherous
uncontrite interview unequivocally uncourteous

Premium Member Yellow A Breathless Color

"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet

Yellow is my husband's favorite color,
my fun surprise was going to cost more than a dollar.
We were dating and he was coming to see me,
I was dressing in all yellow looking like a big bee.
When he got off the airplane,
he said - you look breathless not like a plain Jane.
I knew I was not going to flee,
as he got down on one knee.


Silly Little Dumb Girl

Silly ass dame
You Lame plain Jane
Fckng wacked out & insane
Still playin the same game
Even with nothin' to gain
You're the only one to blame
So don't even complain
Sayin you wanna change
But forever stay tha same
Get back in ya in lane!!
Thinkin you so smart
With 3 cells left in ya brain
Dazed out 24/7 from all tha fetty& cocaine
Putting so much faith in hollow promises
That should be taken with a grain
It's like you BEGG for tha pain!!!
Feelin each drop of that acid rain
Burnin through my skin
Down to my skeletal Frame
Tryna act normal & maintain 
Ignoring these constant stabbing migraines
Success will never be obtained
Like failure been ingrained
Take every aspect of your life
And rearrange 
the past mistakes steady being replayed
Walkin a straight line to Hell
N sht still feel mundane*

Premium Member The Girl On The Monkey Bars

The girl on the monkey bars
Was once quite a playground star
She fell one day in the park
Lost her footing but gained a spark

She became quite a strange canary
Making up new games and words like qillary
Not a plain Jane she is a crazy Cherry
She hurts no one but her laugh is scary

Premium Member Hog's Breaths A Star

I met with Mr. Eastwood for the first time with both of us, and I know he's savvy about people's character.

I would rate Clint as, par for the course as Pebble Beach is noted for, in due part to Bing Crosby's efforts, whereto the family carried the banner until AT&T, went the distance. 

Clint was good, but he had an Ace, plain Joe-Clint ... had plain-Jane, along with her many SF Bay Airian invitees--zich hile, Mata Hari.

Where's William, Clint asks? (abrupts Derek's notable timing) Oh, you met William, he's like that pineapple they've invented across the bay. 

It's not called that, besides, I heard you got fired. Reprimanded Jayney. William doesn't fire, yeah a reprimand would be in order, a character like you. Well, it wasn't him, it was Mr Lars. I knew it, William never fired anybody.

I agree Jane. Mr. Eastwood, William has a way of teaching somebody like throwing a curve ball. What do you mean by that, curve ball?  

Well, he talked about the last hockey game's final scoring played out, while teaching me how to change the ink in our large front office machine--the hockey game lost to the copier.

Clint's an iffy fellow, tis prestige vs the ordinaire, my dear plain Jane--hmm, partially accommodating. 

Methinks you're a drop-off, my dear, picture a car dropping you off curbside while he goes looking for a fictitious parking space, but a gentleman he is uses the factual context of the 11th hour--OPS you to HAIL me.

I gather Mr. Eastwood was gifted said ticket, ... that I am guessing you so happened to be in pysical possession.

How did you know that? That would pleasure him of not being a CAD!

I forgot that you're like some madda carrie.

Mother who? You mean that Mother Teresa (rising popularity 1979).

No, that German one.

A German Mother Teresa? Was she young Adolph's school teacher.

Oh forget it! [LATER: she reveals "Mata Hari']" 

Did he you call you and tell you, or are you playing Holmes?

Doc--tor 'tis Clint's gift?

Yes, but-- ... --wait ... it must be somebody of importance ... yes, but who?

 Hehehe! It would be very rich for me, if I saw a glimpse of your face at this relevant juncture-------was I your suggested choice? 


 ... Yes, Oh my? You're scary!

Premium Member The Many Blessings of Covid

I'm truly sorry for those who died.
From that cheeky little FauchXi virus.
And those demonized for deflecting 
the virgin big pharma prick.

I'm embarrassed to say that I thrived. 
During the height of the lockdown madness.
Didn't mind wearing a diaper on my face.
I've always been a plain Jane.
It's all about the eyes anyways...or so they say-

I enjoyed the unclogged commutes.
The rock star parking.
Thinner lines at the five and dime...
Six feet of personal space at all times...

The downside was I caught the FaucXi virus... twice.
The first time was a breeze-
I got a little cocky and careless.
The second time was much more vicious.
Lost my sense of smell and taste.
I'm quickly out of breath.
As my lungs were laid to waste!

Now, the texture and color of food are paramount.
Maskless faces appear plastic now...
Some people still mask their scars.
Fear along with jealousy and greed
are the hardest things to glean...from really living.

Premium Member Totally In Love

plain jane bird from the northern territories
lands on reflective ice, possibly a berg
attracted to gorgeous polar bear like parakeet
no idea how she will ever be able to leave
even though her new sweetheart is cold and flat
she is so totally in love

Premium Member Color

I am a plain Jane
a splash of color goes far
to brighten my day

Benumbed Jane

Benumbed Jane!

"he'd never give a plain Jane like you a second's thought"
(but hellishly reign his godly wife)

O Jane!
Be little prettier 
Be more wiser
Crucify your benumbed senses 
Resurrect your eloquent vehement 
Why she choose to be the godly wife?
Why he choose to be the beastful husband?
Let's not brawl and yawp 
Let's not cuddlerape and strangled with a scarf
In unwieldy guilts and sins of the battlefields of the Great Marriage
Give up now
Or
Surrender to salvation 
You are not owing to “Beauty and the Beast” - A French Fairy Tale
Time has no time
Be little prettier 
Be more wiser
O Jane!

Wishing Well

"Wishing Well"




Plain Jane blew her wishes 
down a wishing well

Lit long white bless'ed candles
dipped in holy water 

Brackish 

Crocodile tears from Hell
Witches hold hands together

Stand united
show and tell

Plain Jane 
knows her subjects inside out

Sisters plain and simple
holding hands 

united 

standing by the 
Wishing Well
