Excess Dilemma

A man
with excess of money
 IS not exactly lucky...
But a wretch of fortune !

with enormous aplomb
to agony and unhappiness...!

Turkey Gobbler

There once was a turkey named Tom
Always persecuted by those with aplomb
   He managed a stay
   From one with much sway
But still served to all with much calm

A Certain Cunning Ham Named Tom

There's a certain cunning ham named Tom
Who once crafted limericks with aplomb
  Lately, no funny new lims
  Has Tom's funny bone dimmed -- NO 
His computer's been infected with ROM!

November Dreams

The November fog 
Lifts to reveal reddish hues
As the leaves fall gracefully
Showing artistry 
Conveyed with aplomb and with skill

A Very Cunning Ham

There is a very cunning ham named Tom
Pens side-splitting limericks with aplomb
   When Soupers are down
   Tom removes their frowns
And their funny bones explode like a bomb 





              We love you, Tom!

Bryn

There was a young lad named Bryn
        
         who was looking decidedly grim

        When dad with sneaky aplomb

        Threw a shock water bomb

       Now all he's wearing is a great
                     big grin!

Tinker Trinkets

Love to play with word
where the the therapist
becomes the rapist
love evolves love
me squared becomes a meme
Chagrined by a silent e
using silent phonetic letters
the gnome needs to know
without an a aplomb
remains the sane

Wrecked

She made me live a life
full of life unnoticed
The sweetest contempt
from the sourest love
My broken parts amble by drizzled people
Cracking through frozen mist
that i wear with such aplomb
Drifting on long dead love
and never finding home

Firm In Pain

My life was found in pain 
I was ransomed for a pen

Never will I permit my soul to ache 
I won't construct  the same mistake
 
I was throbbing everyday
My grief was unheard anyway

Now I will stand compacted 
My aplomb will be contracted

Play

Quatrain #79:
PLAY


Passion knows best the way of flow,
Light styles the quest as form now shows;
Aplomb sparks fest where grace informs,
Yes works the jest that helps you glow.

Statuette

Hearts aplomb
limbs poised akimbo.

Staved frozen grass
which to sip
thy morn' dew









Picture inspired:
snow covered ground
with a small tree growing
bare branches except
for the red hearts blooming
on the tips of each branch

Two Preying Birds

I'm like a SEAL team commando
After several cups of espresso
I like to dive bomb
With great aplomb
A gyrfalcon? I think so

To poach me is illegal
My name evokes the regal
I reach astonishing speed
When I'm ready to feed
You can call me a golden eagle

Limerick: Once a True Benign Pope Wore Iron Cross

Limerick: Once a true benign Pope wore iron Cross

Once true benign Pope wore iron Cross
Ate humble pie dressed white spoke not lipgloss
Other Lords reigned in pomp
Caught in their cool aplomb:
Up Calvary got seared into steel Cross!

Toxic Time Bombs

"What are toxic time bombs?"
I wonder, with no aplomb,
Old garbage and refuse tips,
Legacy landfills, full of blip,
Damaging environmentally,
So much for sustainability,
All the overflow of society,
How do we correct such wrongs?
All those toxic time bombs........

Da Da Dum

’Twas a drummer who drummed on his drum using two fingers and his right thumb. To an anapest’s ear, it would sound pretty clear; to the rest, lacked a certain aplomb.

Before My Eyes

my thoughts drift
when I look to starry night
prayers with aplomb
consulting our Lord


approving star winks
clouds silhouette the moon
whiz kiss upon lighten cheek 
chase the night 
morning charm

before my eyes
enormity of earth 
to fit in one hand

Purple and Red Hat

Her smile was sweet and infectious, 
As she walked with a swinging step.
Glancing both to her left and right,
With a winning charm, most adept. 

Bearing a certain cool aplomb,
Her hat nonchalant upon her head, 
In colors that appear to glow,
And blossom in purple and red.

Betsie Belle - Nursery Rhyme

Betsie tripped on spider silk
And kicked a can of milk 
But with aplomb this cow
Stood up and took a bow
And though her feet were wet
She did a perfect pirouette.

Above the Broad

Jean Claude was staring at me Hmmm
from the balcony. Oggling all he could
peeking at the girls; posing with aplomb.
He raised an eyebrow. I thought, should
I raised the anti, laughed, jiggled some
and got a rise, I well understood
Jean Claude was staring at me Hmmm.

Aplomb

Stand tall now,
Watch aplomb tell;
Frame knows how
As courage dwells.


Sit still here,
Wear good cheer fond;
Poise flings clear
In profound spawn.


Love sure peace,
Wit warms pure heart;
Set clear ease
As passion starts.

Aplomb

Curious wonder wakes
Lavish quantum stakes


Ample laughter shows
Lovely lasting flow


Cluster charming cheer
Witness mindful here


Precious poignant peace
Escape easy lease


Pretty playful plots
Treasure touching thoughts

A Bet

What is this wondrous internet
That causes reddened cheeks of wet
As people leave I have not met
The hole in space is empty yet
As words are cast  and thrown to let
another lost and sober vet
Attain aplomb enough to get
A certain satisfaction set
To face the emptiness
We can't forget
Awaiting

Illicit waters

My head sun bound,
The water scream sublime.
The ripples waver.
So tranquil now,
But if I fall,
Grasp and grippling.

Yes I’m fine on the ledge.
But the blue skies so meek,
Compare to the sonorous sea.
Aplomb.
The water leave a white sheen,
But unkempt under hide.
Hermit’s fatuous thinking.
