Quirks Poems

Ode Of My Qualities And Quirks

An ode of the things I'm told are great about me
Number 1; I know how to.have fun
Number 2; I'm adventurous and will try anything once 
And finally; three, im.crrative and free, smart.and arty farty gso good with words that it's rather absurd. I love to learn and I learn fast every exam I take you

I Look at Trees

I
I look at trees and think about their births. 
I can say to myself by looking at a leaf, 
“You are an oak,”
or, “You are a Chinese pistache.”  
For this I feel proud, 
And this quirk is one that gives me a sense of joy, 
And the trees appreciate this; they listen.

Quirks

Lennon and McCartney
Composed a song for harps, 
But neither one was very good
At reading flats and sharps.

DaVinci was a total whiz
at graphic arts and science,
but could he run a marathon,
or wrestle with the giants?

Transformers bring us light,
As Tesla had some genius. 
Yet, he had no business sense,
Thus perished impecunious.

Descartes declared, "I am,"
And Marx united workers,
But

Child Quirks

My child
God’s gift…

his quirks
mirth-filled…

bath spree
glee flows…

meal times
burps great…

play hours

truths learned…

love sign…

blest pray’r
thanks*, Lord!

gestures
waves praise…

let’s sleep
sweet dreams!

*Psalm136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Quirks

Everybody has some quirks
To keep us sane – whatever works.
These tics have, over time, accrued;
To rein them in might spoil our mood.

Some start in childhood – foods can’t touch
Or nails get bitten, as a crutch.
A certain doll must be in bed,
The same book each night must be read.

As we grow up, a lucky shirt
May not

Foolish speed bumps in my life
Do you have foibles?
Human quirks?

Revealing Youth Quirks' Secrets

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.”
Thus declared Ephesians 6:1 of the Holy Scriptures…
I confess that I’m guilty of juvenile stubbornness 
With my naughty quirks I can’t deny
…Now somehow revealed by my kids.

As to table manners, there was I feasting too long…
Or I could be oblivious of Mother’s counsel for healthy

Teenage Quirks

Teenagers confuse me
They rarely make eye contact, 
let alone communicate verbally
and if they do utter a sound 
it’s a grunt or ‘meh’ or ‘whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr’

More often than not they speak through their hands 
which move like lightning speed over their mobile phones
At recess they send messages to each other
usually to a student sitting next to them!
They

Quaint Quirks and Fancy Foibles

Let the kinks and oddities remain esoteric
to herald that special uniqueness
that makes you, just you, as you are.
Resist the shapers and conformity grinders
that would smooth out the crumples,
iron out the creases and wrinkles.
Your texture becomes you when gripped,
Your spikes and bumps adorn, when worn displayed

Quirks and Preferences

QUIRKS

I once had a friend long time past 
Who was wont to always break his fast
On cornflakes not with honey and milk
But pickled onions, gherkins and their ilk

Now if that’s not a quirk I’ll eat my hat
But when I do I must specify that
The brim must have ketchup, and then the crown
Will need Mulligatawny soup

Contrary Quirks

I am a liberal conservative
who is confident when nervous.
Living as a pessimistic optimist,
I imagine what the worst is
only to quickly dismiss this.
As a depressed, joyous person
my moods are rarely self-chosen.
My dumbness is quite intelligent
and both are often equally lent
to my love I freely see spent.
Fragile coats all my strength.
So shy is my boldness length
it forms

Quirks For Me

Oh, how can I describe you, ME,
     When that's the person I can't see?
I look and look, and look some more,
          Then ... lose what I was looking for!

You see, my mind spins on, no ends,
     Awake or

Quirks

QUIRKS

A chewing the side of the tongue,
No it's not gum
Rub the corner-point of my collar
with two fingers
Sucking on my lower lip
While skeeting spit between my two front teeth
Rub my elbow on my side
Excessive winking my right eye
This be normal to me
Picking skin from around my cuticles
Pop-crack my fingers, ankle, neck
Put bing-cherry tomatoes in my hot

My Quirks

I have so many little quirks that I don’t know where to start
Please try not to judge me as I bare my fragile heart
First there is my coffee cup, no other can replace
An antique made by Fire King, this quirk a damn disgrace
I dropped it on my driveway and it broke into a million shards
