Short Called For Poems

Funny

Your laughter when
None is called for, is
Not funny
Unless I can 
Find it funny too

Until her face got stuck in some clay

Then gave them a joyful playday...

To touch her ass-ets I wisha-ed

In my old bailiwick
And called for the local militia...

As a sweet pea, I was too carefree 

I’ve shown to another 

She called for her mother

My father bent me over his knee...

“I can’t bear this pain any more

My lips are going dry”

It's 6:05 A.M. what am I doing on my computer
Limericks keep firing off in my brain like a peashooter

He breaks your heart
  Tears you down and apart
Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out
  Where to turn, How to start...

Extra patience is called for
   It's a waiting game
Confrontation only gets you
   More of the same...

Before God
  pride is obscene 
Is it moderation called for 
  the ‘golden mean?’  

Perhaps when with man

When facing the Almighty

Listening with intent find

Balance smorg borg niche

They're calling rape seduction
in all the fasion circles
Where all your children wonder
where fate should pass for murkles

That all they're called for others
is who they'd cast for turkles
When all their fears for others
are quests for acts of thurkles...

My heart longs for my love
Searched for her but she was gone
Called for her but she was not there
Pleaded for her but was no where
We have become separate
Fate has changed my life
I have lost my love
Death has struck me
Taken what was mine
I’m now all alone...

lavender rosebuds
have called for her attention
and in that moment
from the shadows of his heart
he is jealous of roses

she smiles while she prunes
the long limbs of one rosebush
then catches a glimpse
of desire in his eye
and roses are forgotten

The morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky
which gave me time to read and pray
The morning shown as a mono gray
later on will be time to play
to write a verse or bake a pie
The morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky...

I can't let go
I'm in too deep
I'm just a doe
But I took a leap

I called for you
You came running

You grabbed me close
I opened up
My feelings you did expose

My smile won't fade
This love won't end

We are a team
Feel the rush
We'll reign supreme
This isn't a crush

Bloodied and battleworn
I called for a steed that could run
Instead of a horse
You brought me a gun

A comrade in the trench
Not an invitation to a ball
I've run out of ammo
But it is'nt my war
You angered the enemy
He thinks it was me
You gave without asking
Now the problem is yours...

she got smaller and smaller
hoping he would notice
he never looked up
he called for his supper
but she could not answer
for her voice had shrunk too
it had shrunk into nothingness
she thought others might notice
but sadly no one did, so she made herself a nest
in a tiny dust ball, and laid down to die....

Jekyll was done with his night, he wanted some rest
He called for his pseudo, Mr Hyde, the ultimate test
Hyde was hiding, he liked being Jekyll now the best.
Jekyll had a baby fit and fell down on his breast.
Don’t be like that! Called Mrs. Hyde from their nest.
If anyone could bring Hyde back, it’s her, I confess....

I lost sensation where the madness would swell.
Swirling softly with the petals of time.
In a wind very cold and I could tell
It would strengthen with every breath of mine.
I called for my voice and I summoned these thoughts.
With shaking hands I untangled the knots 
And between my fingers slipped the ribbons of truth...

In crisis, true men smile,
Oh, sweet smile your warmness is prized, whispers the soul.
Strengthen style

give life a chance
smile and the sun for your console  
lean dance

laughed, loured
called for his bowl,
soured 

In crisis, true men smile,
smile and the sun for your console
soured ...
