Seuss Poems

rhyming

Poems don’t have to rhyme, free verse it isn’t a crime
I can write what I please—don’t call the police.
Must I play the game, rhyme and spill intimate things?
Can I develop leitmotifs without rhyming riffs?

I could claim I’m writing prose - yeah, be one of those.
No one can rhyme all the time.
I can refuse—I’m no Dr

Channeling Seuss

Oh, the things we might write if we all channeled Seuss:
like streams of Foie Gras through a cannibal goose!
Even masters might gain, yes even the bard.
Cuz you’ve got to admit it: that blank verse is hard.
And thank goodness this doc was a Seuss, not a Geisel,
or our poems would struggle to include a weasel. 
Yes,

Dr Seuss Has Been Banned

Dr. Seuss has been banned? Your kidding said the cat.
This does not compute.
I just bought this hat!
Who decided to do it? Asked the chit of a kit.
I do not like this, do not like it a bit!

The Cat in the Hat
 Is not fat
 The Cat in the Hat 
Is awesome like that!

Dr Seuss

Quality children's books were what this man was bound to produce.
He was a writer who died 30 years ago and his name was Dr. Seuss.
He died in September of 1991 and was born in March of 1904.
It's a great loss to the world because he can't write anymore.
He wrote books such as "How The Grinch

Dr Seuss and the Little Yellow Stars

Xi released a mad bug from his red cave
and fated millions to premature graves
while we burned DR, Seuss books
Mario and Xi wiggled off the hook
Joe n Hunter have yuan in their banks
 



Yuan is the currency of communist China

With Love To Dr Seuss

Little Cindy Lou Who runs a cafe round the bend.
If you are lonely, that's where you'll find a friend.
Because all of the characters who live in Whoville land
eat colorful eggs there. (But no green eggs for Sam I Am!)

My friend is Yertle, whose house is his shell.
He has learned not to want to rule all

Thabnk You Doctor

Happy birthday and thank you Theodor Geisel…for it’s so easy to deduce
all the things you helped to teach us…not as Theodor…but Dr. Seuss.

You taught us how to count…at least to the number two
and in the same book you taught us about the color red…and the color blue.

Your Sam I am taught us we can eat

The Ghost of Dr Seuss

I woke up from the house of dead...
Awakened by some noise 
I heard the sounds of two young children...
Playing with their toys
 
Alone I live here by myself...
In my single bedroom house 
I moved here seven years ago... 
When death had stole my spouse
 
The noise was coming from my attic... 
So I looked to

The Grinch Epilogue

The feast was all done,
For Grinch and the Who’s,
 And after the meal,
Came terrible news.

For Max and the Grinch,
And Who’s gathered round,
No one spoke a word,
Or a single Who Sound.

The mayor spoke up,
About our grinch crook,
Of all that he broke,
And all that he took.

“You still did the crimes,
So you’ll be on trial,
For crimes of last

Doctor Seuss Visits

Well Hello Doctor Seuss,
May I offer you a Juice?
It’s has been a while,
Since you visited in style,
And I’ve words to say,
That I’ve kept for this day,
So let me begin,
I almost feel like kin!

You have come from Feven,
But in actual fact Heaven,
And you look so pell
Debonair and swell,
You have brought a pangel,
Who looks like angel,
But somehow

The Return of the Lorax

*One very early Christmas morning long ago and far away, I was hard(ly) at work again. In the spirit of the season, and being a child again, I offer a poem I wrote as a tribute to Dr. Seuss:


What walks through the forest,
And shakes all the trees?
Is it a fat tourist,
With very large feet?

Who don’t

After Seuss

For us, Doctor Seuss was way cooler than Goose
or Aesop, the Grim Brothers, or that Greek god Zeus,
Mr. Rogers by a hair, although not the Muppets, 
where Cookie and Piggy were our favourite puppets.

But we were surprised on our socially distant walk 
when this amphibian leapt up and started to talk  
or rather sing,

From Seuss School For Philandering Fools

fools the tools of the transient tarts
with open hearts
dupes seldom depart

the joker is wild
with the mind of a child
mild, beguiled
with an accomplished smile

knowing the difference ’tween love and lust
is a must
avoiding fuss
retention is free of inept invention
intention without contravention
 
lessons should not
lessen confession
by confessing sorrowful fools

the learned have learned
before school was out
without a doubt
what life

To This Day Seuss Youre Still On the Loose

March 2nd is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss so,
having grown up with his wonderful works, I've written a little tribute:

Happy Birthday Theodore Geisel,
here’s a meditation mat, made of sisal;
I bought it in Mexico for your last birthday
but, you’re number was up and you went away.

Although it’s belated, it fits your
