Short Electric Eel Poems

local cab driver big deal

lacking personal appeal

drove into a lake

procured a fish cake

and bumped an electric eel.

Teal quacking loudly.
Swam by Teak growing by lake.
Headed who knows where.
An electric eel,
becomes light to a dark world,
No matter how deep!...

I knew I’d offended you, your smile
of hurt, the one reserved for whipped
spaniels; you use it too.

We didn’t speak as we strolled through
the woodland park , picking up acorns,
dropped by passing tree top squirrels

And when my hand brushed yours, you
pulled away, like a nervous electric eel, 
stranded in the rainless mud

I knew I’d offended you....

There once was a young man called Neil,
    Who fished with a hook, line and reel.
    He got a few shocks,
    That blew off his socks.
    When he caught an electric eel.

    Then Neil cast again, unafraid,
    With his bait, rough cut marmalade.
    This time with good luck,
    He found on his hook.
    A smiling, curvaceous mermaid.

Chill winds are blowing from the hill!
Will you be my sweet sleeping pill?
Without you God knows how I feel
Now it has become hard to kill
My days and nights that I have still

I can’t date I can’t pay the bill
Life goes ahead on its slow wheel
Life seems to me a dirty deal
Only Jesus can cure and heal
My wound like an electric eel

Now I am standing near the grill
Close to another sugar mill
My heart is dancing like a seal
I want to love you and I will
Since endless is my dream and zeal...
