Short Agog Poems

agog amongst fog,
he was in bog,
remained thus,
like a bloody dog....

She being
curvaceous in view
agog, I'm
at hands length
she turns, I'm captured, entranced
my love, my bride, she

A lady out walking her dog
Encountered a pot-belly hog
A quick-fingered boink
Deflated its oink
So Harley roared off in the smog...

Over sunny weather, we're all agog together
  Perchance it clouds over though ---
That the sun not return, wouldn't you not rather?...

Imagine if the ladies had ears like a dog
Wearing earrings on the tips we'd all be agog
Attractive... not really
A real silly dilly
Licking her ears, tongues would get clogged...

Oh, coffee pot!
I am all agog at how you clear my brain of fog
Each morning I rise before the dawn, climb out of bed, stifle a yawn
I give my thanks to those above for that heavenly coffee, I do so love...

Annie, our sweet golden, is building a snowdog
Thought a snowman was inappropriate, left her agog
Just showing her brilliance
Ideas by the milliance
Annie's brain is devoid of that soupy dog fog...

Sky aloft
Birds in flight
Through clouds white
Dots of light
Lovely sight

Out a frog
From the bog
Met a dog
Friends on jog
Both agog

Agog
anticipant, anxious
openmouthed, breathless, athirst
Enthusiastic, open-eyed wide
indifferent, unmoved such
impatient, restless
Antsy

and all pointed agog, eyes, the city in the sky
this towering colossus held up by ecru clouds 
ensemble reaching disbelief itself. . . jacketed
in jolted hearts staring from below, that hum
a silence, tore, of what mankind deeply knew

I'll outstretch my wings to fly.
Lofty and up in the sky.
In the cool breeze of the dawn,
In the warm sun of the noon.
Broadly spread over the lands and seas,
Vividly covering the shrubs and trees,
And agog,the whole clan goes at my landing....

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

Expressive plum-tipped lips have cursed the fog
enchanting senses- snaring drifting minds
the petaled blush within the mist of Northwood bogs
is fair Calypso dancing there amidst the sheets
her scent a whispering tale that held agog-
a gallant hero like Odysseus....

A whole new 
Irksome block of monotony
Placed at my door
By night.
Climb up or down as you please
Vacuous and silly I am all agog.
Some crazys have not slept
To herald
My wife, sterner stuff
As usual
Shakes off the ennui
And ignores the banal.

Agog 

bemusement careened

dreamed enchantment

first gaze, hoped in jeopardy 

keeling lust made nectarine offer piquant...

quagmire’s ruse stirred 

torturing umber veins

Wife X-tenuations…

Yellow-bellied zilch!

Affable windswept seas,
     Awaken distant dreams
     Affirming lost desires.
     Agog with passion's will,
     Awaiting windward hope.
     Away on bounding crests,
     Alive to trim such sails.

Agog, I in flutter, in love, first sight 
Eyes all rapt, locked up, in fixed stare, glaring
Smitten by beauty, enraptured my plight,
Could not draw my eyes away, despairing
That this love adorning was forewarning
Of frustration, fraught with disappointment 
Looming up inevitably, not meant....

As thunder boomed and lightning flashed,
The rotting mansion seemed to speak;
The trembling pair, their eyes immense,
Began to shake with each new creak.

Decrepit timbers groaning then,
The pair agog, despite their boasts,
‘We have to stay and see it through.’
They couldn’t leave: they were its ghosts!...

DOG AND PLASTIC BAG
 -  THE END

My dog went after a  plastic bag one day
Caught it in  mid-flight, I’d say
Stopped its ascent  to greater glory
But that’s not the  end of the story
Bag got caught on  the poor dog’s head
After a struggle the  dog was dead
Sorry, no more poems  about bag or dog
To amuse and hold  readers agog...

Across the pond float lily pads
Upon one sat a frog,
He looked rather startled
His eyes were wide agog.

Had he seen a stalking heron,
Was he scared to move, thought I
Then to my surprise, his tongue shot out
And caught a passing fly.

That wise old frog had patience
It comes to those who wait,
For that fly, it came to him
And that wise old frog, he ate....

We know not of that Woman,
though ‘tis known that for years
she has begged for death.

what marred such a creature?
unsought furtherance,
everlasting atrocity,

or a centaur,
agog martyrs and honor,

‘tis certain that,
once the castles are built,
their emperors,

though drunk on sex,
and branded by adulation,
shall ascend.

but does fame bespeak
an eternity of pandemonium?
Perchance....

Lost in a piece of glass
as sunlight chiselled its facets
or is it the side 
of something with many sides
or do i just repeat
just pause
friend to frogs and logs and dogs
sitting with your mouth agog
a word so gently placed
can cause a smile to fade
and the deepest darkness
can be saved
Want to be amazed
relive my stolen days
words left on pages
when in the future frayed...
