Short Clambered Poems

When Jan's cucumber went on tour
The ladies all clambered for more
- Forget about size -
Its best on one's eyes
So slice it to earn an encore!...

The itsy bitsy batsies 
	climbed up me finger tips. 
Sat on the tippy-tops 
	and tightened up their grips. 
Out came the eyedropper, 
	fed each little bat. 
Then down me fingers clambered they 
	as easily as that....

He frolicked through the grass
And then he clambered up a tree,
Gazing at the cars all filled
With wide-eyed folk like me.

The traffic slowed so everyone
Could get a little peek
At the black bear yearling (give or take),
The highlight of the week.

It's such a treat to catch a glimpse
Of wildlife in the wild.
Perhaps that bear, confronting us,
Was equally beguiled....

With champagne and plenty of gin,
we welcomed the brand New Year in
Fred got nissed as a pewt,
and despite some dispute
he wouldn’t leave to my chagrin!

Old Freddie was drunk as a skunk,
and clambered onto our top bunk
But he fell to the floor -
how he ranted and swore,
I’m wary next time he gets drunk!

The moss green walls rise high above,
As a poet sits down to dream,
In this place, I was born to love.

Cascading Conwy waters flow,
As a poet sits down to dream,
And old memories come and go.

When first I crossed the Beaver Bridge,
As a child who lived in dreams,
And clambered on the wooded ridge.

I fell in love with this place then,
As a child who lived in dreams,
Still, today it’s my Fairy Glen.

I paused, the moonlight to inhale 
As I put my steep climb on hold
Thick grape vines held tight in my grasp.
On I climbed to clutch a buttress
My breath reduced unto a gasp.
On I clambered higher to clasp
The dark hued castle tower cap
I donned my rig to glide away
And soar over broad moonlit vale.

By Joseph Christopher Liguori and Robert James Liguori

The waves broke and the sun shone,
As he walked on the beach alone.

Abandoning the shore and heading towards the trees,
The leaves remained still in the calmness of the breeze.

Not a sound could be heard from above or below,
While he made his homeward stroll, ever so slow.

Upon reaching his abode, he clambered into bed,
Closing his eyes, he reminisced of what nature said.

Moon, you bring romantic poems to life
Amid the heavens to me and my wife.

We sat as the sun turned the sky amber
And absorbed the gray sky; up you clambered.

Days anew; you, never having grown old
Your witchcraft wink and sounds of gold so bold.

We tiptoed to stand and jump for a glimpse
Of your brilliant new face, you never skimp.

Wistful hues have carried us to realms of dreams
On starlite satin sheets and lavender streams....
