Short Discussed Poems

When weighty Wanda 
Discussed her dreadful diet 
She sarcastically said
Easy! I eat everything I eyeball...

Whilst the doctors discussed her fate
Her belly inflated with hate
Flat out on a gurney
For one final journey
From hospital food that she ate...

Alluding To Colluding

To what they discussed were alluding,
That it could be concerning colluding;
Usual tricks,
Of politics;
Issue ended up avoiding and eluding.

Must Be Prepared To Propose

Always must be prepared to propose,
A plan to control water after it froze;
We discussed,
Control must;
Energy that exists in wind that blows.

Dingo hunter met Santa in the Australian outback
They discussed a possible new career path for him
Reindeer were nervous around dingo hunter’s horse
These animals are wild! Whispered Dancer....

The place of refuge for us old guys is the mall
Where topics of the day are discussed, big and small
Bout this and that
Harry's new hat
And whether or not Archie's toupee will fall...

Oh! Thus 
came the 
saddened 
breeze
Wrapped 
me in the 
feathers of 
unawares
How my 
helpless 
rationale 
bid to 
cease
At a time 
when 
gods and 
fairies 
discussed 
their 
affairs......

rumor should have stopped at our living room
not sure what happened
temporary insanity?
we discussed it
agreed to never share it with others
both lied apparently
came back to bite us in the haunches
served us right
knew better...

Beautiful, sleeping, head of a pig.
In the refrigerator erected
Like in a showcase.
It's being watched,
It is admired.
It is discussed by progressives
People.
But who will voice,
That this is a cast of pain,
And the eyes
Are not closed,
But squeezed shut....

The day I faced a peacock was the first day of the rest of my life.
We discussed politics, religion, and argued with all kinds of strife.
This peacock’s eyes narrowed, I could see by his beak he did not agree.
Without malice or gloating, I admit this did not bother me....

The new lion gentleman at court is a bit off
This is discussed by those whose dendrites think.
Not sure how the jester says with a cough
I catch his eye and give him an agreeing wink.
We know better than to make fun or scoff
For he could eat me faster than I can blink....

Buddha and Moses 
     had a conversation 
They discussed poetry 
     and politics 
  The debate continued 
long into the night 
Buddha liked to write in form - Moses didn't 
They are both gone from the earth now 
   But the world was changed by those two 
FOREVER!...

Some sages struggled and discussed
Protective ways to battle rust.
The answer came from every brain:
Do not leave iron in the rain!

Though some may scoff and will, I trust,
The scholars will remain nonplussed;
For simple wisdom we may gain
From words that rusty saws contain....

What dwells deep in my mind is "deedle dust"
Oh yes, scrape them off to remove the rust
You know, just the ones that I discussed
Try to shine them up, only if you must
Let's keep 'em here in our secret trust
There's no sense at all being rushed
Some wise humility always just seems just...

laughing out loud we stole the whole crowd,
afterwards we all gathered around, discussed
times that where down, and people that clowned,
most us had weighted frowns, except the unbound,
so it was decided to dance around, to the happiest sound,
that you make in your mind when you feel peace all around....

I watched in sheer amazement
At their lively repartee
Of such silent engagement
Discussed extensively.

Expressed in small hand gestures
And eloquent vivid signs,
Messages sent were sure
Relayed as they designed.

As mute and deaf speak
Broken are the barriers
We cannot call them weak
In life, they can hear better....

Now I lay me down, here goes.
The c-pap rests beneath my nose.
If I get strangled by my hose,
At the grave, read one of Poe’s.
If my wife begins to sweat,
And she seems not that upset,
Then please do as we discussed:
Lock my assets in a trust.
But if she dons sack cloth and ash,
Throw that c-pap in the trash!...

Le Cordon Bleu sommelier in the know
Discussed wine pairing with patrons aglow
"What does your order include?"
"Roast turducken frankenfood"
"Then I recommend a dry Portmanteau!"

My life in the past
is not one to be thought of
for it brings nothing but poison 
Too many things 
if discussed would cause
only despair and smoldering corrosion
I’d rather live in the here and now
embracing my new beginnings
To stay where it’s warm
no longer torn
freely capable to thrive and prosper

For my video visit by phone
Where my doctor’s and my face were shown
All my questions got asked
And we both sat, unmasked,
In the comfort of places well-known.

We discussed medications and such
Without blood work (of course, there’s no touch)
But my face on the screen
(Ugh! You know what I mean)
Was the part that I hated so much!...

I took ten dollars
From my mothers purse
As a child
To buy lollies
And the like
There was lots
Of money in that purse
A few days later
At the dinner table
My parents discussed
Where that ten 
Might have gone
They had all kinds
Of theories but
Never blamed us kids
That gnawed at my
Conscience
I never owned up
But never stole 
Again....

I need to trust
Before everything combusts
I try my best
But then there's another test
I need to quit thinking the worst
Or we will be hurt
Trust is a hard thing
That it sometimes feels like a bee sting
How do I trust
That it's needed to be discussed
I get a bad feeling
That some things feel unrevealing
Will I ever learn to trust
That I feel some disguss...

In our innocence and our youth we trusted everyone

the mistake was not discovered until years later
we had no idea who had betrayed our confidence

We discussed it often, accusing many
But never you, for you had never betrayed us before
Or had you?

Our mother never outed you, for she knew
We loved you the best of all

Grandma Jenny, our hero...

He is a man of many parts;
Not once not twice topping The Charts,
Even at throws of A Drunk’s Darts
And easy picking of noiseless farts …

In their party, a top notcher, 
On campus, discussed lecturer,
In some property, a poacher, 
In some clinic, Satan’s butcher,
Amidst women, Adventurer …

Indeed, A Man of many parts,
Who might soon dare horse-driven carts!...

Thanks for letting me cry to you
When I was sad and blue
Thanks for listening to me
It really helped me
Thanks for letting me vent to you
You helped me get through
Thanks for being there
When it seemed like no one was there
Thanks for making me laugh
That I know our friendship will last
Thanks for loving me
It makes me happy and fills me with glee
Thanks so much
That it was discussed...
