Short Adjusted Poems

my heart fell as my eyes slowly adjusted...
to his small frame
had he always been so ugly
so short, so ungroomed?...

A noisy, Rhode Island Red rooster
Awoke, from his dreams, Simon Schuster.
Simon got mad as heck
And adjusted Red's neck.
Now Red doesn't crow like he uster....

I assembled all my fear 
embraced every question 
adjusted my attitude
until it made sense

Slept in this morning what a treat
Roosters have crowed I've gone back to sleep
Hens have laid eggs
Pain in my legs
Haven't adjusted to the morning drumbeat...

Lonely unfolds like a colorless rainbow 
and shoots a good feeling in the foot, 
when memory leaks the shade of his eyes 
across the sky, in a backdrop to the illusion 
of well-adjusted....

I know we’ll never find euphoria
Even in the eternity

We aren’t adjusted to this world
Do you believe me

Although nowhere left to go
Let’s not be worry

There’s a somewhere inside
Just for you and me...

Also very clean
Dust just collected
It became thick and fat
Then got that dusted
Things got adjusted 
Melted all the fatness 
Became lean gained fitness 
Pretty now and in cleanness...

To
belong
and be loved.
These are two things
the human psyche
needs in order to feel
happy and well adjusted.
When dealing with our fellowman
we should always try our very best
to season our words with love and kindness....

Marguerite -
how she'd cheat!
She would eat
something sweet
for a treat.

All for that,
got MORE fat.
Oops! She sat
on her cat.
It went splat!

Power of Love

In order to experience this Realm fully,
BE well adjusted and fell daily.
Time did not exist, flowed freely
Like a vast of cloud moves as One into other dimension
Now I am able to explain the space delineation
Swirling with grace of serene vibration...

Butterfly Rainbow Bottoms is my neighbor’s new dog.
Can you guess the ages of their three children?
If you said four, six and eight, you are right.

Butterfly Rainbow Bottoms' name has been adjusted to BRB
Can you guess why?
If you guessed daddy embarrassment, you are right....

Like clubs inside my golf bag
  each verse a different face

Some to drive straight down the course
  others lift and then embrace

My swing is oft adjusted
  as words take off and fly

And landing safe beyond the trap
 —to make the devil cry

There's this chart as formula in making a movie you see....
Ever being adjusted brought abreast unto her times and here 
We are amid the twenty-first century silver pears cherry squares
Taking notes casting votes statuettes bell tower pets his writers tea ?
Crunching numbers computers quiz shake your glass; green back dreams....

An old cleric from south of Niagara
was making love to a woman named Magda.
While he did wear protection
there was little erec***n;
she moaned "Darling, you forgot your Viagra!"

This cleric, on later inspection,
decided to make a correction.
He adjusted the dose
and with her got close
and then had a love resurrection....

The other day I was lucky
enough, to see you; 

you made my blush 
you made me cry 
you churned the sky 
with every color 
known to man; 

God adjusted the lens 
I looked again, sure enough 
you streaked the sky 

with crayon shades on cue; 

Your repertoire of color
surpasses every dream.

Santa's not coming this year 
he was blinded by Rudolph 
trip down the stairs 
on his way down his suspenders snapped 
giving him a concussion 
right now Santa thinks he's Batman 
as he runs around the house 
with his red suit 
adjusted like a cape  
mrs.Claus annoyed 
by the thought of being called Robin 
is about to snap...

faces as old and wrinkled as their clothing
a metered gait adjusted to combined needs
gnarled hands held, as always, in support
the sun welcomes their warm-faced smiles

sounds of children in the distance amuse them
an old dog sidles up in search of a pat
the old park bench waits patiently
there is no hurry – their time - is now

A brisk wind rattles thin branches.
A small bird adjusts its stance
feathers ruffle just enough for stability.
it gives no attention to 
this balancing act.
The bird is a wind-sailor, it has sea-legs
though it has never seen 
the wind or the sea.
Nevertheless,
it thoughtlessly has adjusted the focus
of the universe once more....

You walked into the darkened room
That occupied my mind,
And into it you brought a light
So bright it struck me blind.

Soon my mind adjusted
The darkness was no more,
My world became a different place
When you walked through the door.

True happiness it seemed to be
For others, not for I
But here you were, in my life
Love had not passed me by....
