Short Aced Poems

There was a young man named Dennis
Who thought he was an ace at tennis
He missed every shot
An ace he was not
He is now a Gondolier in Venice...

E - xquisite beauty like a precious stone, 
L - ike lilac blue and light pink diamond,
L - aced with platinum and gold ribbon, 
A - mbering my pensive horizon.

     I wonder why my parent said
       She’s the spitting image of grandma dead

     For in death, grandma did not look her best ~
       though she still aced the saliva test

She belted out an electrifying song
Knowing she could do no wrong
Making a win her life mission
She blew away the competition
Everyone was so impressed
They didn’t need to hear the rest

Type casting Pirates of Penzance
Lining up those who’ll sing and dance
Some aced the illusion
Others beyond delusion
Laughing so hard I wet my pants

Neil Armstrong shot off to the moon
Strapped into a cosmic cocoon.
He came to renown
When one foot went down
Ahead of poor Buzz -what a boon!


But as they returned to home base,
Buzz had a big smile on his face.
For there on the sea
Of tranquility
He'd aced the first 'selfie' in space!

BALLPARK PENS

watch what you find
minds will be read
think what you see
before you go blind

ballparks out of games
faces without names
win or lose nothing
changes the deranged

love what is hard
pain makes it wetter
keep that aced card
cold weather letter

ballparks out of games
faces without names
win or lose nothing
changes the deranged

She's the closer in her
   own intangible talent,
came upon an absurd
   assumption she
might be a poet, merely
 discernible as conveyed
  ill-drifting  imagination 
betwixt dispersed antagonism
    and magniloquent coercion,
her mediocre existence aced cliché 
 vanquished 'neath forewarning 
   zephyrs amidst wildflowers on fire
     & half-forgotten frothy seascapes,
   furthermost poetically fated delusions...

Hope is the possibility
That you might overcome challenge
Hope is praying you might
Get first chair in band
Hope is getting up 
On the stage and 
Singing your heart out
Hope is that maybe
You aced the test
Hope is a cannonball
Into the pool
The day before competition
Begins
Hope is a smile
That someone might return
Hope is looking up
Over at him and maybe
He’ll look back
Hope is over when
He does
Then it’s triumph....

Binary 101

Numerically double-edged,
Duplicitous it is paired
Likewise and two fold
Its twin coded binate, not spared.

Double barrelled
Bilateral couple,
teamed; 
braced – unified.

Mated and single
Coupled, unpaired
Mixed radix,
Can be shared.

Digitally based
Systematically aced
Zero blocks the chain

Based at one
The power redefines
Linear thinking holds

Only conversion
Characterises
The values you will find
Inside binary lines...

I wound the dressing around my wound,
has I tear it off a tear.

Runs down my cheek and I realize,
what your eyes are about to hear.

The wind can't wind my watch I watch,
and see it isn't so.

The bark can't bark its from a tree,
and not the dog I know.

The dove dove down then swooped back up,
just putting on a show.

I shot the bow then took a bow,
has I aced the target slow.

I'm so close to close this deal,
just read what I read and you'll know....

That was what You want, wasn’t it?
I don’t get it God
Why do you want it like that? 
It’s not perfection
And you know it
I was not doing my best
And you don’t let me
Why?
Why God?
I could have aced it
Had I studied
But you would not let me
Why?
I did not get an A like I wanted
Why won’t you let me have an A?
Why?
What could be the reason God?
I don’t see no logical reason
Except that that is what You want 
And I don’t understand it
What could You possibly be teaching me
In not doing my best?...

Stars twinkling in the sky
In the heavens passing us by

Star fish in the ocean below
crawling on the floor nice and slow

Stars painted on the face
all the make up in it's place

Stars dancing on ice
skating and doing a splice

Dancing with the stars
dance steps to musical bars

Running in to the wall or door
And you see stars and the floor

Your paper has been aced
A star on the corner is placed

A grandson's favorite song by far
Twinkle Twinkle little star.
