Short Absurdly Poems

Life is a palette
Paint it, absurdly, or not
Reincarnation...

kelly anne conway
one might ask why she has not yet gon'way
absurdly, her flowing Wagnerian locks
still titillate the aging yet juvenile jocks....

While waiting for my brainy date
My ignorant friend cried "Oh great!
Now everybody's dead!"
He so absurdly said,
Upon seeing Hamlet did berate....

absurdly convoluted 
intricately motivated
twists and turns 
combined to form 
an emotional maze 
in which the two 
souls were trapped 
within for years 
till one day one of the
two souls found it's way out 
leaving the other behind...

So glad, so happy, enthralled to have a job! Chortling as I choke back words.  The verse part of my garden absurdly lacking. But so thrilled, tickled, absolutely agog.

bouquet of part-time
bloomed into three full days -
my garden suffers

An overweight lady named Annie
Has got an absurdly large fanny
Since she boarded a plane
That is destined for Spain
She's wedged in the seat in Miami!

Thanks to Andrea for helping me with the meter for this one

My imagination ran shamelessly amok last night
While I slumbered in beaded sweat, askance that I would
Be peddling ornate coffins to the absurdly rich, then
Second handing them to poorer souls for paltry profit.

vast night.
i was lost again in a nightmare
inside myself,
the most threatening of places.
but I haven't been there before, I asked.
I mean,
what the hell am I still doing here,
sitting in the company of anguish,
drinking alcohol from the synapses
at the table of the mind,
whispering secrets in my trenches,
while the bullets of the world,
this enemy so absurdly real,
comb my hair?...

Cigarettes are the cornerstone 
Of any nutritious breakfast:
Try them in omelettes, 
Over easy - Or sunny side up!

Crumble them on cereals, 
Hot or cold
- For a flavor combination 
That is absurdly 
Out of this time zone!

It'll put curly hair on your legs and chest 
- Regardless of your sexual preference! 
What the hell are you waiting for?!
A personal invitation? - Then consider this the one!...

Aye, that way, you've chosen.
Away from me you go.
Absurdly, awaiting you I am.
My gentle young girl,
It is lonesome, the path, your choice;
And it is 
As dark as my heart has become.

Too genteel and heavy is
The walk you attempt.
Very despair and numbness
It makes mine.
Do I walk? 
Away
Away
From you?

You are, however, now far off 
To my reach,
And me either 
To your soft hands.
Days pass, ceaselessly,
As you've gone
From me
And I from you....

I was a jolly good clown
Who never once had a frown;
Whenever I was in town
I used to bring the house down.

I once saved a kid from trouble
But lost my voice in the struggle;
My people left me, on the double
They felt I was not worth their trouble.

I’m now a clown who never chatters
Who, on big shoes, absurdly patters;
Although my own life is in tatters
Making kids smile, is now what matters.

I pray for you,
because I wish you peace.
It's not meant as some empty platitude.
Your sense of loss,
heartfelt grief,
I share with you.
Let not the burden of a heavy heart,
allow your troubles to increase.
In time all pain will cease.

It's okay to smile,
to even laugh,
when sharing memories of the past.
Those absurdly funny,
happy times,
are moments, that were meant to last.
So dwell not lost in sadness,
instead,
remember her life in celebration....

As we spend time solving problems,
And I learn what she likes and dislikes.
I find we have most everything in common.
She counts me as a sister,
And absurdly ive realized,
I’m in love with her.
As we spend more time together,
And I dance and dip her.
Sending my heart fluttering and flittering.
I tell her that I cannot be her sister,
I long to be her lover,
Instead I opt for her best friend.
As I tell her this, she agrees.
I long to kiss her, hold her, love her.
Make her mine....
