Short Bawled Poems

Placido loved playing his Cello
He played it soft and mellow
As the cat called
And the baby bawled
He was a composed fellow....

Rowdy came up over the hill like a vision.
I knew he was still chasing the errant calf
Calf bawled as lasso whipped through the air
Marlboro man I thought...

I cried on a pale tree within my reach
Anguish flowed with a life lesson to teach
Though not a swinger
Here is the zinger
I can truly say I bawled on a beech!...

He pointed throught the sunlight
From the kerb edge,
Fiddling with his fingers,
Looking rather silly
It has to be said.
"Turn your air conditioning on"
He bawled.
So slowly
I wound my window down....

The shadow sulked in a puddle of drool,
Dribbling, it bawled out its eyes on a stool,
Hot chocolate with tears,
Starbursts and gummy bears,
It’s hard to devour sweets when you’re a ghoul.

Limerick : Once an Orphan begged at the Town Hall

Once an Orphan begged at the Town Hall
The Mayor thought he had better bawl
So he had him bawled out
And nearly used his clout
When the Orphan bawled : « See ! Who wants it all ! »

My brain bawled
like a hound. 
I was taken aback, 
by the sound. 

I took another bite, 
as they swept past me;
like a 90's reel, 
all my memories. 

Years of forethought;
my assiduous labour made sense. 
I finally felt that day, 
the taste of sundae....

I don't count the waves
Shaking me; perhaps fearful
Of going under.

After a pure kiss
Changed to salt; pushed back on shore—
Scars beneath my feet;

2 a.m. holds no
Claim to drown; a darkened throw
Of sand to heaven.

World bawled in a fist,
Where she is held up, not far
From me— home, not far....

A nick across the bedroom Door







                                        My eager Love bawled out "Score!"







I told Him :"My Baby..









Not this jiffy today
                







                                       'Cause no sir,No more white on this floor"...

Shattered and Battered

New York streets once had clattered;
Now many lives have been shattered;
So mush pain;
Down does rain;
Brains and bodies have been battered.

Ronald and Donald

First came along Regan first name Ronald;
Followed by dumb, dimwit named Donald;
Cause always lost,
No matter what cost,
Which is why we all have always bawled.

Over 10 again....

Running the hills, to
Dive under the trees
Pierced with our shrieks.
We bawled along the woods.
Soft laughing streams
We tripped. Trails whipped
Through nettles, to show
The world our infant mettle.
Away from home, charging
Free, the sky bowed to
The power of our hearts.
Small we stood,
Giants in our minds, strong
To conquer the days.
Imaginations blazed, as we,
Heroes of the Summer,
Merrily raged the hours away....

Betsy was quite fickle
A cow who loved her pickle
She ate it with corn
As her calf bawled, forlorn
To be left with only a trickle
Of milk not worth a nickel
Since, in all truth, it did mourn
For milk that didn’t taste like a pickle
