Short Detests Poems

The woman in black:
Spirit haunting Eel Marsh house,
Detests the living,
Wasted, bitter, died of grief,
Terrifies the villagers....

Deed beseeches with no passion,
Ruled like a peasant,
By cussing, language was weaken,
Rationality overruled by emotion,
Ignorance detests reason,
These mongrels play chicken.

What a trick!...

Pride detests God
     God detests Pride

   If you dare utter this
     You better go hide…

My rhyme
‘Sublime’

Low ‘win’
A sin

Last place
Sour face

I moan
And groan

Me thinks
Judge stinks

Bad judge…
Holds grudge

First place…
Disgrace!

Detests
Contests!

His wife takes him to dinner
as she always does
on his birthday wearing

bright red lipstick, a color 
she detests but he likes. 
He knows this means 

when they get home 
bright red panties will call 
like a beacon in the night.

never forget not to exaggerate,
          don't overvalue, don't overrate;

doing so is, in fact, telling a lie
           and it shows poor judgment you can't deny;

for truth truly disdains superlatives
           and downright detests deceitful motives;

it is more prudent to fall short than long,
           to be almost right than be overly wrong !...

Sicknesses and sorrows are rough and painful
Death is free,smooth and beautiful
No shame,no serious worry to become successful.

Sicknesses and sorrows are rough and painful
My heart detests these and penury in full
I prefer to sleep and rest in blissful peace.

Sicknesses and sorrows are rough and painful
Death is free, smooth and beautiful.

Love loathes the poison in me when
I just let it grow in passion
Love takes the venom off my mind
Without  a justification.

But, 
In me loathe also loves the poison 
With all its true strength and deception
Loathe detests love in my foolish compassion
Along with my superficial rationalization.

Yet,
Love loads me with peace, taking
Loathe forever 
Once love loves 
Those who loathe
Love....

When Waffle sits on Wendy’s knee,
Poor Wendy gets covered with pee,
Mums chinchilla pet,
Leaves Wendy’s lap wet,
Poor Wendy gets very angry.

Now Wendy detests her mums pet,
It ONLY makes Wendy’s lap wet,
Poor Wendy is soaking,
And she isn’t joking,
She wants pet put down by the vet!

Thanks to my lovely on line friend 'Wendy' for her tale of Waffles the chinchilla:-)

My tastes are of a peculiar kind,
The type I bet you never can find
In this lost generation of ours
That knows not the preciosity of hours.

My tastes are so amusing and odd,
And some are like those of the great men of old,
Yet some have never been,
And others shall never again be seen.

Many people talk of my tastes
As being the nature that God detests,
While I think they are perfectly well;
The sort that the tongues of angels tell!...

“Do you see any leg wound, my friend
I feel some pain, see drops of blood -
the road we passed was stained.” The horse
asked the cat, who detests blood or mud.

“I don’t know,” answered the cat, nestled cozily
in a bag strapped on the horse’s back.
“I didn't feel any discomfort that might have
been caused by your change in stride or slack.”
