Short Cleo Poems

Clucking,
Squawking,
2 girls,
Four months old.
My crap machines,
My other sisters,
Cleo and Cloey...

Cleo and Liz Taylor were known as beauteous queens...
bathed bodies in milk to entice men on-and- off screens
Caesar, Mark and Richard B. fought for these rare roses
… truth is, them dames had pimply chins and pointed noses

OFFERING OF PANSY

Plucked at peak season, her blossom’s open -
Cleo, short for Cleopatra – brunette.

Her bloomer’s heart, displayed, shows she’s hope’n.
Hands him a pink pansy – eyes haven’t met.

Whistling inside, collar tight, he’s grope’n,
With fright.  Cleo’s bold and brash, wide open!

This jive
You call
Jazz, well, my
Mama use to say,
It sounds more
Like pots
And pans
Just ripping and
Damn running down
These streets
Boy, you better
Learn how to read
This music and tell
People somethin’ ‘bout us colored folks
Cleo, dat Banjo and dem bongo drums 
Come straight out of mother Africa
We like to improvise and harmonize that
Funky off rhythm beat...

Cleo is my room mate of the feline breed.
Her brother Braveheart also lives with me.
I tossed a brown paper shopping bag onto the floor
to give Braveheart and Cleo something new to explore.
The handle of the shopping bag got caught on Cleo's hind leg.
Immediately Cleo took off and fled.
with that shopping bag chasing her all over the floor.
I still can't stop laughing. It was the funniest thing I ever saw....

Cleo stubbed her toe
Thats it
All the furniture had to go!

Cleo burned her tongue
Oww, that's not fun
All the food went out the door

Cleo cut her finger on the page
Oh the horror, oh the rage
All the books in the fire

Now she huddled in the empty
Hungry
Soul less
Room 
And feared the light that kept her warm.

She locked the world out
And herself in
And she had nothing left

Poor Cleo...

Such a famous duo is Anthony and Cleo
Faced with them, even Cupid would bow low

A love so tragic
Life must surely have been so catastrophic

With a heart as big as the whole universe
Cleo made it felt the power of her curse

Love today turned so sinful
Lust thriving on top of it so bountiful

Love, when unfulfilled,
Becomes so difficult to be killed

That is why like Anthony and Cleo
Your most loved one you must not let go...
