Short Croquet Poems

On
croquet lawn,
a coldhearted queen
swearing heads will come
off...

guard hoops
and hedgehog balls;
striking flamingos; painted-rose

and now we bask in the bloodlust
waiting for another reason
to whimper,
“why do they hate us?”...

There once was a lady with a story.
She made it up for fame and glory.
Her topic, a bit risque.
A naked game of croquet.
The description was very gory....

Biking through Salt Lake City
Homes of well knit, croquet stature
With Oxford fountains flowing
Forcibly pin my eye
I pedal a block to see streets missing teeth
Bank signs, chipped paint and amazon lawns...

Tom took a day off for golf to play
His game should have been simpler croquet
Bruised head and scraped knees
His cart like swiss cheese
Wrecks on the nine, decides game's risque

No refuge here
Just bitter cheer


Search now in vain
Kind words said plain


Cliques and cliches
Odd word croquet 


Islands of stress
A savvy mess


Not much for laughs
Broken mad stuff


Loss that now pokes
Sad burden yokes


Once a big tribe
Scattered once ripe


Not much to say
A wind-blown way

into the sun
and move your lips
in silence
and wink to a passing cloud
and purposely hit
the ball astray....
