Short Abb Poems

Sorry for being dumb,
But darling, I'm not numb.

In the name of love, yes! I succumb,
Because I am tame, I am a lamb.

Friendship's grace a sweet token
As a colleague bestows both vase and flower
Scented prose, volumes spoken
Sits on my desk this hour
Bearing kindness and the heart's fragrant power

I built a model car like this except there was glue all over it
This contest asks for ABBaCCA, CBS or NBC
They are all news stations to me
ABB just means they missed the C, that would be ABC news

A Small a could mean anything but CCA
Is like AAA they will tow you anywhere
Have I passed the test may I join this contest?
I now know what (ABBaCCA) means...

Lucie is my loving cat.
She snuggles with me in my chair
and I’m content when she is there.

Lucie likes her tummy rubbed,
but most of all, her ears I knead,
but not enough, she shows her greed.

Lucie loves her laser light.
She chases it with upmost glee;
gets exercise, assuredly. 

Lucie knows her dinner time.
Stands by her dish and starts to cry;
sometimes she likes not what I buy....

No bla bla
I see it in your eyes
Devoured by disguise

No bla bla
It’s in every move you make
It’s in every breath you take

I’ll play the same game
Hiding in your shadow 
But you won’t know 

What you downloaded
Was a Trojan horse
With no remorse

Femme fatale
I’ll camouflage
In your worst mirage

Payback time
My deserved treat
Revenge so sweet

When the rose scents the garden
 Birdsongs float on high
 And  summer breeze caresses with a sigh

 When buttercups are all aglow
 And the sun is shining bright
 Butterflies  do an aerial dance of delight

 When forget-me-nots are blooming
 A spark turns into a flame
 As the wind whispers your name

When chrysanthemums appear
The shadow of autumn is cast
And the rose will blush its last

He is not a robber
But he stole my heart,

He is not a painter
But made a piece of art.

He is not a clown
But he makes me laugh,

He is not a laborer
But he knows enough.

He is not a dancer
But my beat, he did rhyme,

He is not a mountaineer
But my mind he can climb.

He is not a messenger
But he, his thoughts send,

He is not a writer
But he creates a legend.

There is no other than him,
And that is it! Just him.

My home is on the farthest ramparts
And in the darkest of canyons deep 
Where scanning vultures circle my keep. 

My home is in the hottest jungles
And the sandy desert wastes so dry.
Where scanning buzzards circle and cry.

My home is in the frigid mountains
And huddled on shores rocky and damp
Where scanning ravens circle my camp.

I am on the prowl both day and night
Call me commando, seal, or ranger                    
Others thrive because I face danger....
