Short Demotion Poems

Queer State 

                      crazy commotion
                     a chaotic emotion-
                     demotion of mind

As the Day Ends

Vivid sunset in motion
painted waves on red ocean
the dark is creeping near

Birds stop their commotion
Sandman spreads his sleep potion
now silence is loud and clear

When the day takes demotion
time to give your devotion 
to those you hold most dear....

Powerful professionals, the IAU,* said you didn’t measure up and
Labeled you a “dwarf planet” in 2006,
Upsetting the long-established belief in nine planets.
Tried and true supporters, many of them experts,**  
Object to this demotion and declare you still a planet!

A promotion!?!
Love is the top emotion,
That puts all good things in motion.
Let me just make this one simple notion,
That true love is at the heart of the ocean.
That is, tidal locomotion brings no commotion,
Just loving some emotion with simple devotion.
Yield lustful promotions as ones demotion...
Is finding true love with a potion.
Go back to the ocean!

Underrated Basil got a promotion
And it caused a commotion
Among luckless names for demotion
All of them restive and voicing the notion
Of An Elevation fathered by emotion…
They shall for the two wrongs raise a motion
Before the cause of their commotion:
A man you could enrapture with perfumed lotion,
That Bribery be distanced from Promotion
And Barefaced Trickery from Demotion.

Also, wages that should all please 
And not a single soul displease....
