Remodeled

There was a lad named Drew
Who liked to dabble in glue.
Some got on his chin
Which stuck to his shin
Now he stars in a freak show revue.

Artists dabble in shades and hues
  Authors express their sundry views

Troubled souls take to darkling woods
  The baker smiles ~ 'twas sweet and good

Premium Member political idiots

Much confusion by the angry rabble
Noisy voices, unheard gibberish babel
Turkeys in a gobbly gook central gabble
Political idiots who argue while they dabble

Farewell

My dabble in limericks is finally done
I'm sorry to say that this is the last one
The master is back
His name is sir Jack
So kick off your shoes we're about to have fun

''Faithful''

Wandering eyes,how could this be?For me to see you but,you do not see me.Dabble in
indiscretion.Your every word,am I to question?Am I your fate?I can no longer
wait.Wandering eyes,please give me no more lies.


Dawn Pond

Mallards dabble in a smudge of water. A silver flare from the edge of night. Muddy shadows dive under stalky mounds. Levees of light overflowing. A gleaming pond knows itself once more.

Desert

Desert
                      Dry yet not arid
           Droughty water is expensive
  Dusty hot tranquility salty humid breeze 
       Dabble and blue waves seagulls 
              Damp lustrous so wide
		              Deep

Dawn Pond

Mallards sleepily dabble in a smudge of water. Then an emerging sun flares from its coatless face. Like dipping ducks, muddy shadows dive under mounds of stalky flotsam. Vista’s crack open their levees of light.

Premium Member Give Them a Little Time

      soft and spoiled
         devices well-oiled

      spoonfed babble
         in protests, they dabble

      convictions untested
         by reality bested

      today’s mudslingers ~
         tomorrow’s right-wingers

First Light

The pond is brackish
a smear of lichen,
a low haze.

Water birds dabble in their sleep.
Soon the sun
will dash across a drop of dew
to burst dams of light.

Wings will shake off
dwindling shadows,
slap the wet air
until the water awakes.

I'M Feeling

I'm feeling lazy
Confused and feeling fuzzy
My mind is all groggy
And my surroundings are so hazy
I feel agitated
I jus wanna make a doodle
If I can't be a tinker
I wanna dabble and splash water around
Maybe I should lallylag
Before I dilly-dag

May the earth reject it..Let the mountains dance..For the
God of all universes will break this trance.' No more shall
You dabble..' instead you will ride, the road of rejection in
Pain you will writhe.' You have sullied creation.' 
Now.!  You are to be judged in your pride.!

Dawn At the Pond

The pond is brackish a smear of lichen, a low shaded haze. Water birds dabble in their sleep. Soon the sun will dash across a drop of dew bursting dams of light. Wings will shake off the dwindling shadows slap the pond and call until the water awakes.

Necrodoff

Gruesome as Judas cradle growl,
I dabble in gore thereby.

Everyday Norse hannibalish,
so my ribs outward,
exposed flesh, gangrenous.

I beg water, I chew my tongue
Schwedentrunk painful,
Junked, revealed, confessed to. 

The immense crux pain,
till my stomach bloated up.

Acrostic Poems

Acrostic poems, when writ in verse,
Cause some who dabble thus to curse.
Relentless rules that cramp one’s style,
Over time, may prove a trial.
Surrendering to failure might
Tempt those where patience’s taken flight.
Ironically, such poems inspire
Challenge-freaks to climb much higher.

Premium Member DOOLEY'S DEVIL'S DELIGHT

Darling Dolly liked to dawdle
down past Dooley’s Deli.
Darling Dolly didn’t dabble 
in Dooley’s Devil’s Delight.
Devil’s Delight, a donut dessert,
didn’t do it for Dolly.
Darling Dolly didn’t delight 
in Dooley’s donut dessert.
So Darling Dolly dawdled home
without Dooley’s Devil’s Delight.

Indoor Sports

This is a verse of new thoughts,
I've invented indoor sports,
Written in a poem of riddles,
Like, "What is Time for Tiddles?"
Why, it's wine with Mahjong,
Those tiles don't tarry long,
Then, it's "Drinks for Scrabble,"
With bevvies, we'll all dabble,
Or, "Come and try my beers,"
Many varieties over here,
New indoor sports, my dears!

Premium Member My Summertime Muses

My summertime Muses are wearing the jolly
Still decking “the halls with boughs of holly,”
Eschewing everything droll and melancholy
Chanting a happy tune from “Hello, Dolley.”
Helping me deal with a rambunctious collie
Singing ad alta voce “Good Golly, Miss Mollie,”
As I sink to dabble in foolish, but hilarious, folly.

Premium Member wearable art

Some artists utilize watercolors
Others dabble in clay
Some quilt
Others know ribbon embroidery

Some artists add glitter and sequins
Pearls, feathers, taffeta and other fluff
I like artists who think outside the norm
This artist wears her art

It is wearable art, she tells me
And it is for sure
she is the ultimate artist
I am proud to know her

Dawn

The pond is brackish
a smear of lichen,
a low shaded haze.

Water birds dabble in their sleep.
Soon the sun
will dash across a drop of dew
bursting dams of light.

Feathers will shake off
dwindling shadows,
wings slap the ponds surface
until the water awakes.

By then 
my eyes will shine like silver moons;
I will write a poem
but not this one.

Premium Member Rhyme and Pun Ishment

i would love to have the chance to ask the dog star      are you Sirius?

John Tirious won't tell people his daughter's name      it's Miss Tirious

if i were fuzzy wuzzy and lost all my hair     i'd be furrious

when songwriters erase      are they "decomposing" or "delyrious"?


[i should know better than to dabble in such puns, after all i am a groan man]

Yaba Daba Do

Here we sit, in a fair
By and by round a table
All in all without a care
Like a baby in his cradle

Longears asks us how do we do
The world is screaming but we
Do fine as rabble dabble do
Most of us know not but he

Knows most of us, what to do
When fire strikes, or rain falls
Like a cascade on the crew,
Or on the rabbits in their halls
Shouting "yaba daba do"

Id

I have dreamt of change
Of something more
I dabble in activities but all seem a chore
A daydreamer of conveyance
Wistful of the misshapen course of our lives
Persona non grata
Ambivalent to the world, trapped in eternity
Thoughts hammer at my core
Cloudless eyes perfidy my truth
What sound do thoughts make
An onomatopoetic poet clanging and clashing around in his own head.

Premium Member Awesome Kid Grandma

I like Scrabble, and Monopoly,
And Cadoo, and Dabble too.
I like The Game of Life,
And other fun stuff to do. 

I like challenges like 
finding peppermints in 
Chocolate pudding, using
My face, with hands in the loo.

I’m an A.K.G. according to my granddaughter.
She wrote a tribute to me.
A.K.G. stands for Awesome Kid Grandma.
And at school, I think I’m my students’ AKG too.

Butterfly

My romance with efflorescences in an arboretum,
Is the most picturesque moment in ultimatum.
I can decorate your garden in style,
Provided, you keep the flora in pride.
Elated to dabble with a child,
As long as, both of us get stirred.
I can pose in variety of striking colours,
Competing positively with seasonal flavours.
I am the world's most aesthetic insect,
With my graphics globally perfect.
