Short Chickened Poems

The rooster began to dance
It was raising quite a sweat
Barnyard pals joined in the fun
All funky chickened...

I said I would tell you.
I lied.
In truth,
I'm too afraid.
Every time, I come so close,
But chickened out 
Was too scared. 
To tell you. 
That I like you.
Hoping you were stupid anough not to know....

A man who loved to eat,                                                                                Fish, eggs, fruit and meat,
But from his mouth,
The chicken chickened out,
In vain he tried to get back his treat....

Form.     Florette 2.   Wrote for contest but didnt submit. (I chickened out)


Mirrors reveal what you can't hide
The rolls of fat your large backside
The legs once slim now plump and veined
The face once smooth now lines remain.
Yet dimples showing that you are smiling inside....

My friend and I were talking about retiring.
I chickened out. I like big money.
She put in her papers.
She is older than me by a year and a half.
I will miss her terribly but I cannot do it yet.
Two weeks at home was two or three days too long for me.
I will go out in a body bag when I am ninety-two....

My friend and I decided
to both give our crushes notes,
saying we like them...

She gave him hers,
And I chickened out, 
Had to make sure that 

It was exactly right...
And now I get cold feet,
cold hands,
and my face turns bright
red whenever I see you...

People say you won’t be interested
And I believe them...
Does it matter if you already know?
I’m nervous...
My heart is beating...

and that’s all I hear......
