Short Clementine Poems

Oh my sweet little daring clementine
Oh how you do shine
So upon my plate you sit
Now into my mouth
I shall anticipate
Fate!...

 My tree doesn't care 
 That her pot is plastic blue. 
 She likes fertile soil. ...

       clementine honey
the buzzing bees beholding
         a budding lily
     i’m adoring audible
crooning of colorful bloom

Mile high bracken upon the Beacon
Under a clementine moonlight,
In shadows drifting to and fro
Like the tide upon the silken sea.

My darling Clementine
Thought you were a satsuma
Or maybe mandarin
Did not mean to presume a
Variety, you cutie
Ambrosia made with halos
By whatever name you go
You orange little beauty...

Amidst silent morrow's plea,
I plant myself in the ruins,
of a clementine tree,
fusing to the roots,
under the carriage,
of life and death, 
her barks brittle,
sweet breath,
meeting,
in undress.

I have a frisky frog on my back the flamingo whined.
He jumped on last night when I went out to dine.
I wish I had one lamented Old Maid Clementine.
She had been a floozy in her day, and she knew how to grind....

It is okay to sob sometime, when i find the sky above my head is not clementine. It is pouring love by shedding little and crying. My heart is beating little more and feeling divine.  Missing him like i am no more mine....

Valentine , Valentine
Sweet shredded marmalade clementine
Whence 14 chimes
And our star's align
Dance the breeze
My senses please
Aphrodite 
Born out of
God almighty
Pray Love this day
I do thy bidding
So you still love me in the morning...

Celestial sauce for all.
    Clementine, port and fruit, 
      Churn with sugar so sweet.
        Condiment for turkey, 
           caramelize your meat,
             cream with milk, make it pink.
Captivating fine food.

Time after Time
Be my Valentine
Barely in time
As Feb. 1st chimes
Delayed lines
To celebrate
Valentine's
Fourteen times
This month in rhymes
For my Wendoline's
Love Prime time:
Do throw in a line ...
Won't you, Clement and Clementine
Carroll and Caroline
Ciao: it's past my bedtime...

the birds are foul, they always follow the dumbest bird he told me and mine.
One of my children decided to fool the fowl, her name is Clever Clementine.
She put on a beak hat, and pretended to be a bird, of the very interesting kind.
They followed her up and down hills while she laughed and pantomimed....

Red roses with a calling card were mine,
    For my shrinking violet Clementine.
    While inviting her for lunch,
    I was beaten to the punch.
    Now she's somebody else's Valentine.

an unassuming stack of mellow brie
dark succulent grapes with a shine
two crystal goblets without water spots
large bottle of Chardonnay wine

he wants to take her off to a villa
Where he hopes to “make her mine”
his mother packs chicken and homemade bread.
She throws in two red roses. Say hello to Clementine....

"Feed Your Body Well" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "Oh, My Darling, 
Clementine".

Feed your body, feed your body, 
Feed your body well each day.
Feed it lots of fruits and veggies
But from candy-stay away!

Bonus activity: Explain to children why they should limit eating empty calories (foods 
with little nutritional value, such as candy, cookies and cake)....

Oh my sweet love, Clementine
I remembered when you were fine
But now you are lost for eternity
And you will no longer be with me

I miss your kisses and your face
I miss the way you lightened up the place
But now you’re very deep under water
All because you were no swimmer

Oh my sweetheart, Clementine
Do you remember when I was fine?
I drank some pills, though I was healthy
And now I have you right beside me...

The ultimate bug saver is my cousin Clementine.
She makes them into friends and helps them dine.
Termites have eaten the woodwork off all of her walls.
Crickets and roaches follow her to all of her malls.

She cannot step on one, she says it would make her ill.
They are all over her house, in her yard, up and down her hill.
Here is a cockroach, a water bug, and an army of ants.
Thank you very much she says, cramming them into her pants....

Mimsy began life in the circus as a clown.
Starting her days with a painted frown.
It was her normal, and she liked it. It suited her fine.
Ringmaster appointed her to be a ballerina named Clementine.

Mimsy was now a ballerina, and she felt weird in the tights.
She did not like wearing a tutu, the fame or the spotlights.
She wore her clown sad face to remind her of a better time.
Before the ringmaster made her a ballerina named Clementine....

He is a curly bearded Santa is what many thought.
Except Strawberry Lil, who thought that was naught.
He is the Strawberry elf, she said with touches of glee.
And he teases me a tiny bit and calls me “baby”.

“Baby!” said a brownie, isn’t that putting you down?
“I am sixty-seven-and-a-half. What are you, a clown?”
“I love it,” said the old one. “It makes me feel young and fine.”
“I would have it no other way,” said her mother, old Clementine....

Along Lemon Lane
Down Clementine Close
Round banana bend
Past Persimmon Place
Just down Rhubarb Road
At 2 Rose-Apple Avenue
You will find old Jackfruit

On his blueberry bike

With its watermelon wheels,
Tamarind tires,
And strawberry saddle.

It's plum tricky to ride.

But he doesn't give a fig!

"Are We There Yet?" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "Oh, My Darling, 
Clementine".

Are we there yet,
Are we there yet?
Oh, please, please
Say we are.
It is boring, 
It is boring,
In the backseat of this car!

Bonus activity: Planning a long road trip? Give children a pencil and a drawing pad. 
Ask them to illustrate what the backseat of their dream car would look like. Would it 
have a swimming pool, an ice cream stand, a movie theater? Remember, dreams 
have no limits!...
