Premature

Grass cut, mulched beds,
Spring is here
Awfully early this year. 
Anyone else feeling dread
About what changes are ahead?

It's awfully untrendy
to be slender, long and bendy
but it helps to have reach
when seeking the peach,
chuckled Sebastian to Wendy

Icy Tanka Rewritten

Icy Tanka  (rewritten)

Stars on the night sky
Are icicles on the roof
In a deep freezer 
That has not been defrosted 
For an awfully long time

Andrea Dietrich

I once giggled at a Clierhew by Andrea Dietrich
Let me say, she was awfully ticked

She cursed me out in poetic form
Afraid I'll forever feel her scorn!

The Line

At the food bank, the lines were so long
To pass the time they sang a song
It sounds awfully bad
Which made others mad
They were only used as a pawn

The Food

The food taste was awfully bad
Which made the customer mad
So, he threw the food down
Stood looking like a clown
And then threaten them with his iPad

Premium Member He Ate Like a Horse

Little Teddy was so awfully thin
His poor legs were no wider than a pin
   He ate six meals a day
   Straw, barley, oats and hay
Indigestion made his stomach cave in

Eyes Peeled

My eyes were peeled back with fright
From below the awfully terrible sight
Now a bite from a nit
Hurt a tinny bit 
How many tinny bits will it hurt from croc a bite?

Don'T Play With Fire

Don’t Play With Fire

By Elton Camp

Jack wasn’t quite nimble enough

For him things got awfully rough

Around fire it’s hard to be quick

Pants blazed over the candlestick

Premium Member The Train They Call 'The Republic'

     Two weeks away, a changing of the guard
        Some folks may take it awfully hard

     Others smirk, their shoulders shrug
        The 'Republic' still on track to chug

Fake Coins

There once was a young  farmer called Lee,
Who was digging up coins round a tree.
He was sure they were golden
And were awfully olden:
They were dated a thousand BC…

Premium Member The Majestic Goose

A most majestic fowl is the goose!

     'Tis a thing of beauty in flight,

          As it wings in V-formation so tight!

               But, alas, its bowels are awfully loose!

Premium Member The Secret Honey Recipe

I thought of a great way to make money.
"Bee, what's your recipe to make honey?"
She said, "You can't raise that sum",
and stung me right on the bum,
and she thought it was awfully funny.

Premium Member Everlasting Dream

A mid-sized star cast a hopeful beam
on a spinning orb of green and blue.
How awfully funny we must seem, 
that fussing, fighting beast (me and you), 
peace on earth his everlasting dream.

Premium Member Smile If You Have a Winning Hand

Life can mimic a game of chance
It can be grand or awfully bland
Take your stance with a joyful glance
Go ahead and reveal your plans
Smile if you have a winning hand.

Premium Member Child's Ode To Broccoli

More nutritious
Than a bean,
I do appreciate 
Your green,
But raw,
You are extremely crunchy,
Roasted,
Just a mushy-munchy.
Steaming 
Makes you awfully wet.
Sorry -
‘Still don’t like you yet!

In Prayer

When the world gets awfully loud, I seek for silence in prayer
Bursting out disquieting thoughts, I seek for solace in prayer
As burdensome load turns buoyant, I thank the Lord in prayer

Chase Scene

Running, fleeing, dodging- 
How awfully am I shook!
A safe-house for my lodging
As I write a thousand books
For by my Self am being chased-
Ev'ry word to be erased!
Poems burned at ev'ry turn,
To never be replaced

The Gate

I’ve 
had

so do not stand in there,the warm,key so handy, open the bloody gate! Oh no rain!

Premium Member So Awfully Lonely

     a lonely park bench
     under an old oak tree 
     there’s a boy sitting there
        who can it be

     why – it’s my son
     he looks so awfully lonely
     my eyes tear up uncontrollably ~
        the finger points at me

Premium Member Alone In A Crowd

Alone in a crowd, together with you, can be awfully good. I am a cheerful pessimist and so clearly misunderstood. Eloquent silence, no dull roar and some festive tranquility; you are my magic realism- my comfortable misery.

Starry Night

They say that a star is a sun awfully far
And that most have planets in orbit

And the sky on clear nights is incredibly bright
I’m sure we’ve all wondered about it

That somewhere out there
There’s another who’ll stare 
At starlight from our sun
Why doubt it?

Premium Member Catty

I sure wish that I had a tail.
High-boned cheeks and wide eyes would pale
if  I'd a wagger.

You may think me awfully vain.
Forgive me, but I'm just sayin'
looks seem to matter.

My Puppy Harry

My dog is brown and fluffy his name is Harry.
Harry is awfully funny when he jumps right up on me.
When I come home from school he barks his sadness away.
I love my puppy Harry each and every day.
Mom says he's a mess but I fully disagree.
Harry is my puppy and I know that he loves me.
