A man
with excess of money
IS not exactly lucky...
But a wretch of fortune !
Or hazard...
with enormous aplomb
to agony and unhappiness...!

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

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!

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

there was a young cat named Dom
who every spring chased the queens with aplomb
one day he was taken to the vet
and lost his best asset
and now Dom is no longer a Tom

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!

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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
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!

"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........

’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.

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

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.

Me,
I
am thee,
she naked
Amidst bodies, I
interject myself upon he
With unknown aplomb, reaching sexual crescendo
He now lies spent, taken to the limits orgasmically, by she, me, naked I

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.

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.

Verse
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.

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

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

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.
