Premium Member Mildly Amusing Limerick 8

There once was a hustler named Mable
Her mad skills at pool stuff of fable
Said, “It’s all up to you
But I’ll polish the cue
Of anyone clearing my table.”

Death Foreshadowed

Flock
Of crows
Flapping wings
Darkened blue skies
Their loud raucous cries
Bring news of death
Deep sorrow
Be gone
Flee

To Roar

TO ROAR
There is nothing for you to roar
Is there anything you have seen before
This is an amazing revolving door
Don't you think we can achieve the best score

Pride Which Is Meaningless

Pride which is Meaningless. 
        It is when some folks 
            Who only speak
Their mother tongues
       Have  courage to laugh at
those who can speak and write
fifteen languages.

Premium Member Bride

Beautiful white lace and
Buoyant veil, a vision
Beguiling as she walks, 
Borne on dreams, promising,
Blushing and radiant,
Beside her proud father,
Betrothal bells ringing.

Just Tell Me What to Do

And, I, on a great schooner,
will sail away from you.
To another shore where 
freedom is.

To be loved for exactly who
I am.
For I am full of romp and play.

Adieux, will see you some
other day.

Premium Member Tykes and Bikes

Along the hikes of thunder spikes 
The rest of us are scared
Nobody likes the lightning strikes
That catch us unprepared
Except the tykes who ride the bikes
That somebody repaired.

Yo-Yos

a 7 x 7 pleiades

Yo-yos are neat, groovy toys
Yet not just for girls and boys
Your parents like them as much
Youngsters like their bouncy touch
Youth learn special tricks and such
You know, yo-yo means come, come
Yielding equilibrium.

Premium Member In View of the Mirror

Muted solitary moments run for days,
as the air of discontent begins to scoff
we vent in a wordless empty praise
pretending, telling the truth to back off;
in view of the mirror all bets are off.
