It's called uncertainty
When one doesn't look forward
To tomorrow
Don't rain on my
Perfect day
Cause right now
I am happy
Chase my blues away
Share sometime happy time
with me
Stumbled upon ah
Goodthang
I am in love
The mood is right
So I might
Tell her
I'm in love
Tis it slender
Is it right to say
We are together
All the doubt has gone
Away
What else to mention
What's more to say
It's fantastic
Since you've come my way
That noble stability
That lovers reveal
We are so in love
We can't keep it concealed
It's called uncertainty
When one doesn't look forward
To tomorrow
Don't rain on my
Perfect day
Cause right now
I am happy
Chase my blues away
Share sometime happy time
with me
Stumbled upon ah

I am in love

Sweet and sappy, as strawberries,
yet the green leaf’s pulled
from the tongue, and
teaches one a smile set
in the bulk and brazen
of the hefty sour’n sweet
fruitiness obtained from the C
of the blazing sun’s goodness.
Plentiful teeny-tiny seeds
present in the plush red-ripe chill
to the gums, and
pearly-wide teeth
that plunge, as if into the neck
of Dracula’s victim.
Juice sucked off fingers.
The index circles the lips
to enhance the stickiness
and satisfaction
of the plucky fragaria,
full-sized, squeezing
the frame. Dimensions
hypnotize the dreamer
destined for the horizon.
Scented lip gloss,
a lasso for a boyfriend.
The milkshake mesmerizes
the swirly straw in the parlor.
Memories made shepherding
the wild strawberry fields -
hair, cheeks, lips, polish.
I feel so sad, but then happy
I'm leaving this land, but I'll be free
How are you feeling today poetry contest

Betsy, the sweet girl, was such a beauty
Never slack on milk, she did her duty
Pouring out her supply, like a fountain
Feeding on the rye across the mountain
She raised sweet, soft eyes to prove her gentle
Always so much love wasn’t accidental
With a soul, good and warm, she’s so friendly
Yet, her master told her she’s too spindly
Despite her hunger, she just wouldn’t gain weight
She worried about things like a soul mate
Her thoughts took her to the fall, and the hay
When the Blue Ridge Mountains switch to deep gray
Thoughts of gold bales left her stomach starving
Though that hay could’ve made a wood carving
So dry and stale, it couldn’t have been tasty
Still, she sprinted to the stall, quite hasty
After eating her fair share, farmer said
“look at Betsy, she’s fat as that pig, Ned”
At last the cow and the pig were happy
Even though their tale is slightly sappy!
What's the theme of my next limerick
I ponder this query often it's quite a kick
Could be happy
Could be sappy
Could be the bestest limerick I ever clicked
I remember, do you,
age appropriate for two
grandparents like you,
when sixty-nine
was a thing that you do
when you're hot twenty-and-a-few
too many.
I remember, do you,
grandmother's party at the zoo,
Happy SixtyNine on her cake
smelled and spelled like "Mistake",
Happy BodyDay to you two,
each doing who,
sweet memories
too.
Do you guys detect a pattern emerging
About to O.D... on the precipice I'm verging
Too much damn happy
On the brink of sappy
Must reverse it, there's a danger of extroverting
In the dictionary beside the word “happy”
Is a picture of this old happy pappy
Trust me there's a shot
I do kid you not
Of this handsome old devil grinning looking sappy
Do you guys detect a pattern emerging
About to O.D... on the precipice I'm verging
Too much damn happy
On the brink of sappy
Must reverse this trend, with danger I'm flirting
The part that really hurt the most
is the fact that you blame me.
I didn’t even do a thing,
but you claim that I did.
“I thought you were my best friend”
I am, I was, I thought I’d always be.
“You really hurt me”
how can I hurt you, when I didn’t do a thing?
You’re the one who hurt me most.
You’re the one who used me.
You blamed me, you framed me,
I never did a thing.
You twist my words,
you made my cry,
you say that I’m a fake friend.
when I ask you what I did,
you refuse to look me in the eye.
You lie to me,
don’t give a direct answer.
Make stuff up,
ruin everything.
If that’s the way it has to be,
so be it.
I’ll be here if you need me.
Together we would laugh,
we would cry until we couldn’t.
We’d talk until the sun came up,
until we saw that single ray.
We’d splash around inside the lake,
tanning ’til the sky turned grey.
Who knew that it would end this way?
We surely did’t.
The days got bitter,
the leaves dried up.
I’d hold my hands inside my sweater,
you’d simply fade away.
Sometimes you’d come back to me.
“I missed you,” you’d say.
But did you really feel this way?
I don’t think you did.
Snow began to swirl around,
just as you’d come back.
“I haven’t seen you in awhile.”
That is when I’d wear a smile.
You didn’t know it wasn’t real,
you weren’t aware I was already broken.
Did you know that I detected
the lie behind your words?
The best part is that you never knew,
I sensed it from the start.
I couldn’t hold you back much longer,
you had to be let go.
I thought that we’d be friends forever,
but there’s no such thing.
Everything is ok,
at least that’s what the world sees.
Inside I’m slowly breaking,
falling to my knees.
You’ll never know of my fears,
my thoughts deep down inside,
they’ll stay in there forever,
they were always meant to hide.
Confusion sweeps over my face
every now and then
but little do you realize
there’s so much more within.
Inside I’m breaking down,
screaming, crying, dying a little,
but that’s ok, you’ll never know,
I’ll hide my thoughts forever.
