Short Catch Phrase Poems

Bugs Bunny,
A character quite funny.
His catch phrase is "What's up, Doc!"
His antics keep Elmer Fudd in shock.

Bundled in mittens and muff,
A scarf on my face to my nose,
My breath coming out in a puff
And icicles under my toes – 
It’s winter, and I’m about froze!

Never Again
again and again

a caught phase 
with people 
caught up in a craze

Meet me where  winding rivers  run
A  rising sun kisses  the hills
Where misty mornings are a thrill
And humming birds stop by for fun
Sipping nectar, caught in the sun

You may not love me that's okay
A Taste of you would make my day
Others will never know this bliss
You bless me with an angel kiss
Then swiftly turn and fly away

Is buying good wine just a pleasure,
a joy for the whole world to see?
Or is it a personal measure,
to satisfy no one but me,
then kept, as a personal treasure!

it was once said 
well actually 
sung "What
ever it is I'm
against it".

though a
comedic
routine it
seems it
is the

catch phrase
of the modern
age because
after all what
ever it is

is fake so
surely what
ever it is i'm 
against

       "Tasting Bliss"




a tender touch ignites romance
fluttering flames create love dance
gentle caresses, tasting bliss,
intoxicates juice of sweet kiss
as hearts entwine, hypnotic trance.

You guide me each day
You lift me up when I pray
Through friends and loved ones
My God, You’re really  awesome

“Kiss
my Gritts!”
Build a fence!
Just a verbal
expression my friend.
Just mere words, but oh how
they fester, like zits. Famous
last words to die for; no wisdom
required, a voice at large. Just free
speech, another cursed fiction; where is peace!

words to move
fit the grove
into the haze
a smoky room
city rattle-boom
on rainy days
a maze of thought
 twists the  space sought
between ears painted in rage
of passing years that turn a page
tunnel vision
on television
where all the just
buried love in dust
and all the world must
dig around to find it
find it inside...

The sight is simple, a triumphant vision
The clouds remain in dream’s succulent desire
Not a single realm like this burns quite like fire
I hold the heart of dream, to surely admire
Sparks images on the edge of dream’s beacon

Trying to claim me?
Carve my heart with a catch phrase; 
Scalding fantasy
willfully suffocating,
make me question what I see;

A poet taken,
in the darkness of this room;
The marks on my neck
possessed by the sin you bring;
Broken by the blood and ink; 

Oh Inspiration, 
suck the life out of my lips; 
Swallowing my pen
quickly pulling me under 
 I know I am claimed....

The judge who was missing his law books,
called on Sherlock to solve the case.
Holmes carefully looked for any clues
as he searched all over the place.
"It's elementary, my dear Watson,
the easiest case that I ever saw,
his book weren't stolen, His Honor, the judge
has simply laid down the law."






For Deborah's Catch Phrase ContestMy catch phrase is:  Elementary my dear Watson....

I’m Not Normal
By: Miracle Man
2-19-2020

The normal I once knew exists no longer,
So I've a new normal, and It's not stronger.
When asked how I feel, I just reply normal,
Some have affirmed normal is too informal.
Is normal how I'm supposed to feel each day?
Or is normal just a word for which I pray?
Today I’m pining for my old normal days,
Normal has become half, of my new catch phrase....

Frank Spencer’s so accident prone
He’s a walking disaster zone
‘Oooooh Betty’ he cries-
She covers her eyes
Frank shouldn’t be left on his own!

It’s Magic!

FOR MY NEXT TRICK,
I’ll take away what is making
Everyone sick around here.

I’ve been hired by BP to
make the oil spill magically disappear.

Hocus pocus! Abracadabra!
Here take this pill,
wear this amulet spelling
ABRACADABRA to ward off this disease,
and put on these rose-colored glasses.

That black splat out
there is just whack!

According to BP,
It’s really just a
big blob of bird crap!

And pouring rain only sounds heard
Then the Spirit gave a good word
Go to sleep_rest, Spirit did undergird
God's presence, closer than a kiss
