Whenever she talked, out came this line
‘I am man’s best friend’
This girl would deadpan

Brussel's surreal Rene Magritte
whose art some think rather neat
His painting* is a bit of a lark
so often deadpan&stark

Continuing to take silence time and time again

Gossiping With Zephyrs
Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs....

watercress loving friend named Bess
Bess’s expressions were grotesque
Most usually weirdly cheerless
She is under unusual duress
Her family is an utter mess
Bess is playing poker more or less
Her deadpan expression not needless
A stickler for rules more or less
My watercress-loving friend named Bess...

forged in gossamer fire

Screwball Romance Espinela
So full of laughter my prince chides,
‘This tale is a screwball romance.
Do you enjoy deadpan perchance?
I was swept into paper tides.
They remind me of us besides,
today what else have we to do?’
Gazing into a soul so true
I said ‘ I enjoy a good book.
You’ve entangled me with your hook.
I can think of something in lieu.’...

A Skoosh of Perfume
Just as I walked through the rain,
A skoosh of perfume lingered,
It jogged my memory of you;
And for a moment,
I saw your face smiling,
And you were closer than ever before.
I turned the sight to my locked door,
But, it's deadpan;
Unlike the joy it had when you were closer.
Dear I miss you!
Just like the cloud,
My heart cries too....

Alzheimer's
To the mind that's choked as a stagnant pool
With algae covering Its simplest thought.
Departed is the recall of this magnificent tool
Absent is the passion for life once sought.
Deadpan eyes meet those ensconced with pain
Seeking much patience and understanding.
From the life that was, let the memories remain
Sometimes life seems cruel and demanding....

Baked Potato
To cook a baked potato
You need lots and lots of time –
Enough to write a longer poem
Than this, and all in rhyme.
Mitch Hedberg,* in his deadpan way,
Joked with exaggeration –
Toss a spud into the oven and
Just go off on vacation.
He may be right – I baked one,
Eighty minutes by the clock,
But my husband took a bite and it
Was harder than a rock!
*one of my favorite comedians...

What Went Wrong
In twilight,
the noose tightens-
and shadows start walking
towards you; to reclaim
your anonymity-
and declare in deadpan manner:
the author is dead.
Your smallness goes
on sale. You are subjected
to scrutiny by the small print, but
the truth escapes from lidless eyes.
A private punishment.
There was blood on the knife.
Why did you write a
sanguinary poem for your savior today ?

Silent Cries, It Kills
Bells and gongs they chime,
along my hours they rhyme,
pallid face, they a deadpan,
outstretched eyes, that deluge began,
deep buried thoughts, along silent patio,
they climb afar, distant hills brow,
frail hopes, play hide and seek,
false they speak, and all seems bleak,
those beating nerves, immobilized in cold,
like a dagger dressed, in fresh shed blood,
carried once again, to that perch of cliff,
her minute felicity, gone in a whiff....

I do not know?
Waiting
The snow man stands deadpan under the faint
Glow of the lamp, his scarf damp as snowflakes
Fall ‘round him, the land grim--isn’t it quaint?
The fake smile--what guile!--who would smile like that?
Made to suffer, with a muffler, he shakes
As cold wind rolled almost toppling his hat.
I remember one November day when
You made me wait ‘neath a tree. My heart breaks
‘Coz I’ve been in that scene waiting since then.

Changing Landscape
Living on shifting sands,
do not go for the rains.
One day you will become
a robber crab.
A cross-dresser you were.
My candle burns to see
your face in dim light. Moon
said, it was not yet dark.
Playing with rustling leaves
of autumn. I went on collecting
the gifts of winter like my
variant moods, yellow, brown and red !
Go and meet my deadpan
silver. It would never be my
sizzling poem. I will pour the
green river in your blue eyes.
