Short Amuck Poems

The moose ran amuck
While the caboose led the search
Still the moose is loose...

Borge played
with fingers splayed.  

Not one key stuck 
Or gone amuck....

Distant volcano vents bedim 
the ever-changing azure welkin 
Drunk off demons carousing amuck 
in my metaphysical crepuscule...

Why 
Is it that a cuckoo
Is 
Locked up in a clock

While 
Lunatics with guns 
Are 
Left to run amuck

He’s allowed the CoVID-19
To run amuck and obscene
    But Biden is here
    He’ll win never fear
When vote counters finally convene...

Always beware of a man called Drake
Give him a wide berth for goodness sake
He will surely run amuck
Drakes are flirts
Ask other Ducks!...

Jack was oh so lean and lanky
Jill was all for hanky panky
But things went amuck
When Jack's zipper stuck
In a pinch, she found him cranky!...

red reindeer
from antlers
to their hooves

red-nose red
gone amuck
on Christmas

Claus: “oh no!”
then “ho-ho!”
cheeks blinking

I thought I saw a duck going amuck
In front of a racing truck,
Not much fun at first spy
To find as I go by,
That duck driving this truck was a cluck....

So in saying
That I’m stuck
Is it my life
Run amuck
Or is it deeper
Something languid
Like a sleeper
Could I be heard
Blasting sounds
And just one word...

Happy-go-lucky, a phrase describing old me
Not a care to speak of, a happy club emcee
Making tons of bucks
Running amuck
Tossing flowers and wearing a polka dot saree...

If you see gremlins on Halloween... DUCK!
Hide from vampires looking for blood to suck
It's such a spooky night
Werewolves and zombies bite
If possessed by demons you've run amuck!...

I have a poem in my head
Words running around waiting to be said
Yet they won’t come to the front
They are just running around amuck!
They need to be still…
If they expect to make it to my quill
On to the paper as they are willed...

For centuries, families in India for reasons of luck
Have tossed their babies from a 50-foot tower, they've run amuck
These guys are “bleat”
Babies land on a bed sheet 
A custom to which these newborns are blessed as they chuck...

Life is Simple,
People are tough,
Loving is foolish,
Kids run amuck,
The genre is broken,
The generation grows,
People are cruel,
Even the nice ones growl,
Forever in heart,
Is five minutes in mind,
To know ahead,
Could raise the deaden signs....

I love refried beans
Jalapeno peppers too
I chop them up and eat them in a bowl of sour cream
All day, all night, and on weekends

But then I get old
My throat betrays me
My stomach goes amuck
I get acid reflux when I eat this
Luckily, I have six huge bottles of Tums...

What count is not the best living but the most living
No longer bounded by hope for a better future or eternity,
Pursue not life’s meaning nor run amuck fantasy weaving
Reach a state of contented acceptance and the ensuing serenity.

So they roared and laughed
Big Joe was in his glory
He had them all fooled

He reveled in it
Bashing away at the keys
His thoughts ran amuck

But deep in his heart
He knew they felt all his pain
He knew that they cared

Trees to trim
Bulbs amuck!
Lights ‘bove brim
		
Huge red suit
Belly stuck---
bad lawsuit!
 
Eve turns dim
God’s love struck-		
“thanks for Him….”

Cantankerous and hooligan,
his spirits were raging,
he was shouting and honking,
like a man gone amuck,
it was a sight,
and he was a fright,
he could have taken anything on anyone,
thats why they watched from afar-everyone,
suddenly eruption faded like a balloon burst,
he had sighted the policemen walking in first....

patronizing 
condescending 
attitudes
grew within 
the heart 
till one day
they began to 
run amuck
then as they
moved further 
and further inwards
it began to infest 
the inner workings
of the soul
till finally it 
was free to
roam 
through 
out the
interpersonal
encounters of  
the past 
within the 
land of 
lost love...

MISSSter Buttons, 
	with the butt-butt-buttiest butt
MISSSter Buttons, 
	that run-run run-around mutt.

He loves to lick you in the face
He'll follow you to outer space
He'll bark at someone at the door
He'll mess the carpet or the floor, Oh!

MISSSter Buttons,
	with the butt-butt-buttiest butt
MISSSter Buttons, 
	that run-run run-amuck mutt....

It is a warm spring day 
bees are buzzing 
as I mow our overgrown yard 
saturated by past storms 
my dogs are restless 
running amuck 
through tall weeds 
and dandelions 
the sun is graceful 
almost elegantly dressed 
by the days clouds 
I'm enjoying coffee after mowing 
although it's 70 something degrees 
it doesn't affect the 50 years I feel...

I guess in the old days, rules were made for 
a reason.
Now, attention getters gone amuck like
beings in a quiet room with a loud crashing 
season.

Especially when your once best friend,
Takes a hammer to God’s high ceiling
of moral class.
And their once, high written poetry is now 
an attraction for poetic, immoral trash.
