A lady I know,
Out in New Mexico,
Befriended a calico dragon.
She used to haul him around
Old Santa Fe town,
In her convertible Ford station wagon...

There was a fat pickrel from Perth.
Saddled with little self worth.
He befriended a perch.
Who lived bye a birch.
Then ate him ,increasing his girth....

I befriended a lesbian named Mary Lou
Enamored with women and all that they do 
With her loving spree 
As a man, I agree 
And have to think, I might be a lesbian too!...

A lonely old man whose woes always increase
has befriended five Central Park geese
Now home in the Bronx
he just eats, naps and honks
finding joy, contentment and peace

i recently befriended
her
and that might have been one of my biggest mistakes
because now i see why she's so great
and i realize now why you chose her
and i can't help but feel even sadder...

No one liked The Old Crone Nose she was simply so odd
Warned to stay away from her by our prissy mothers
Befriended by another woman Crazy Old Dodd
Now neither of them needed any of us others...

We teen girls were in awe of her~~this gem among the pebbles,

a young success who shared her wealth~~but lonely, it was rumored.

If someone had befriended her, would she be gone~~by her hand?

Have a new friend, her name is Patricia
From the start, she's befriended this old gorilla
Her writings impress me too
They're fresh and new
How fortunate am I, she's like a sweet chinchilla...

Pride
Truly proud to be an alternative soul.
Those people I’ve met/befriended/seduced
/stolen/bumped into/been seduced/been stolen/etcetc
and you showed me the meaning of being true to one self, 
I salute you......

Why am I in morning in
here the slanted season, 
and now you've befriended me 
like the King Of Golden Gulls,
and now my blinking has retired,
leaving me in broad seismic senses,
stretching my gods to cover what I like....

A young robin my cat once befriended
          Till one day the relationship ended
                  I came home to find
                  That my cat changed her mind
           For from her mouth a feather extended...

Squirrels befriended a soft-spoken kind ladybug faerie
She was thrilled with their oak tree which was incredibly airy
She asked if she could invite her friends Berry, Gerry, Terry and Larry
The squirrels enjoyed them so much they let her also invite her pal Mary....

Given two hands,
Yet those hands will never hold anything.
Given two eyes,
Yet those eyes can see nothing.
Given one heart,
Yet that heart has never known joy.

Befriended by no one,
Nor loved by anyone.
Granted nothing,
Nor possessing anything.
And so I pray for. . .
My last breath....

Befriended me- that's what you did,
Eternal friendship wasn't real.
Fake friend who has made me feel a fool,
Remembering words I thought were true.
Initially friends to..
Enemies.
Nothing is what we have now,
Dread to see you again.
End to bad and sad...
Death to what we had !...

Winds allay into an easing breeze
Befriending with earlies eve

This soothing shade
That mends the healing soul,
The light of darkness
A childs un-crying

To all the astray and unattended,
To all the guarded and befriended,
A gesture is given;
Not unlike the softness
Within the evenings breeze...

Indifference, plague of our times
We’ve befriended darkness 
Stuporous heart deaf to love’s chimes
Our soul’s barren starkness

Enmeshed in ego snare
Dark dungeons of despair 
When hearts with hearts don’t pair

Deadened conscience 
Indifference

Late bloomer in old body.
To whom made me live mortality-
Somehow felt I'm somebody--
Mistook defect from abnormality-
I give words, with their eyes of pity--
Words in various dimension,
Their Humpty Dumpty conclusion.
Invisibility of words-
I befriended poems--
It's hide and seek-
Who sees, it's a mystique!...

Jesus stole him from me;
A cleft of my heart went
With my beloved to grand company.
Shock distracted the void –
Grief befriended melancholy
And I tagged along, I admit.
Anger pulled – whispered of mortality –
I regroup my senses
But still, it finds me.
Thank God, forgiveness was created
For also this exigency....

Why is talent and tenure so easily thrown away today? Those with power and money think they know the way. Forcing those facing life hurdles to sometimes be away. I met an angel in a woman's guise caring  for a loved one about to die. She focused outward and befriended me, I hope her Burden becomes lighter, let's wait and see....

Exotic hairs, whitish 
Frilled black rock,	
Amidst, The frames of 
Colored dress,
Shined in spring,

Scenic sights blend into snow beads,
Smoothed and attuned blurred visions,
Breeze, befriended with her,
Kissed cheeks,

Perceived her as a queen,
In my flabby mind,

Wished to possess it always,
Inner corner of rolled eyes....

i dug a hole and found no hugs

i can only imagine 
what i can't see
like that albatross
that you have in your cage
the one that befriended
your body
infiltrated your soul
to have his way with you
... and now you're miserable
what can i do
I've staked my claim
respectfully
i asked for coffee
a simple gesture

Constant rambling:
I express the pain
Of being the same
For you,
All the friends you had befriended
Silly me! I didn't know
Were girls from long ago,
I shout at you "I cant be like them,
I am ME!..GOT IT....ahem ahem??"
You look at me with those lazy eyes,
Smirk and tell "Coke and ice,
Floyd and Rock is all i need,
You are just my guilty greed"....

Listen to poem:

a most wretched woman
once befriended me
i quietly held my own
cautiously on my guard
one day pompously
she proclaimed
she was culling
her many 
so called friends
sadly
i never got
to thank her
