Short Besot Poems

I love not
That I ought
For I sought
What I had fought.

I hate aught
That I should not
For I forgot
What I besot....

The Valentine cards are everywhere.

In Hallmark I wish I owned a share.

And at seven bucks a shot

The one with whom you're besot

Can just flip it to see if you care....

It has been said pictures are worth a lot
A photo of this wanna be big shot
Leaves no room for doubting
Like a child he's pouting
With want to rule the whole world, he's besot

I went out on a summer’s evening
Alone, but not lonely in thought
For I was a lover of every oak tree
I was a bride by the twilight besot

And for a single golden blue hour
I was one with the vespertine breeze
For nothing in all of the earth or the air
Could keep me from feeling at peace....

My brother was first at the table
to pile six pancakes on his plate.
I don’t know how he stayed so skinny
given the enormous amount that he ate.
My daddy had made the hot syrup
from white sugar or so he had thought.
After one bite my brother was choking,
hair rising as though he’s besot.
Then Dad yelled ,”Don’t pour the syrup. 
Instead of sugar, I grabbed Epsom Salt. "


Won No. 5...

O! My love, come lie on my lap;
And tell your besot stories…
Q! Frozen breeze, come tickle us;
And lilt your mellifluent songs.
 
 
We are roses in Venus’s garden;
And our souls are honeyed pollens.
We would seize every moments;
And really see it…live it and inure it.
 
 
Dear! Death may swipe our bodies;
But snarl betwixt souls are perennial.
Remember and lilt the song again;
Love is perennial but life is ephemeral....
