when he wore his suit
always looked awfully cute
which would cost much loot...

They have to dance
Because she beat drum awfully
Entertainer took snaps from sky....

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,

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...

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!...

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...

Read More

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...

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...

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?...

Gamora, the fiercest of green,
Once tripped on a stray tangerine.
She yelled, "By the stars!"
Then blamed it on Mars,
"That planet's just awfully obscene!"

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...

     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

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…

BC : Before Christ...

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!...

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.

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....

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!...

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

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...

I’ve 
had
enough
to last me 
a lifetime matey,
so please open the bloody gate,
it’s late and I’m awfully tired, and really blue,
so do not stand in there,the warm,key so handy, open the bloody gate! Oh no rain!...

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?...

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 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....
