Short Finicky Poems

I am fanciful,
Not factual.

I am frenzied,
Not famous.

I am fearless,
Not frightened.

I am fast,
Not fastidious.

I am friendly,
Not finicky

I am fruitful,
Not fixed.

I am not famished.
I am finished.

Farewell friends....

In our palace lives a bot
    Quite a finicky task it has got

  Thrice daily removes every single spot
    from the royal server -- the '10-2-4' teapot  

  Our bot makes that teapot shine and sparkle
    in case you-know-who returns ~ Ms. Markle...

POEM: 
Behind a glazing MacBook screen
my finicky fingers fire on all cylinders
workaholism sucking me dry again


NOTES:
Worku is a new three-line form that utilizes a 5/7/5 format similar to Haiku. However, unlike Haiku, Worku uses words instead of syllables...

No Almond Joy for coconut
Please don't suggest roasting chestnuts
Stifled by sage and pumpkin spice
Cauliflower rice won't entice
Though blasphemous, I'm not bluffing
I am not thankful for stuffing
He picks out onions, celery
All for love of finicky me.

“I am going to peek out the foxhole!” The squirrel told his troop.
“Don’t call it that!” screeched Finicky Farlane, spilling his soup.
Seriously, it is called that for real, Finicky, said Sergeant McBeal.
They should rename it then, Farlane said, spilling the rest of his meal....

he had no idea it was going to be his last ride
his horse acted finicky, but he thought it was the weather
his wife had a feeling, as she watched him go
there was nothing she could have said to stop him
his brother’s homestead was in trouble
he walked off into the early dawn, unaware...

if you are finicky or squeamish at all
do not crawl under that locked bathroom stall.
You never know what you will find on the ugly floor
crusty dried feces and urine, other awful stuff galore
if you are the one who locked it and slid out of the way
know that we custodians kind of despise you today....

There was once a finicky chap named Lou,

     Who espied a fly swimming in his stew!

          Said the waiter to the bloke,   

               "What a fantastic backstroke!

                    He won't eat much and will leave some for you!"

Stylish stilettos stride spaces step upon subliminal step
               
Generate generous glances grasp glittering glamour
    
Entertain eyes entranced with exuberant elegance
            
Made to manoeuvre men’s miniscule mind mockingly

A fraction too feeble they fracture and fail the finicky fall

a frantic anticipation
killing the virtue of patience
there's an abomination
in the midst of our presence
      hope is getting finicky
      calm hasn't yet kicked in
      faith is becoming tricky
      but we need it to win
damn it, I need an answer
and no, I cannot wait
we're talking about cancer
and my mother's fate...

Cruel man
As I ask for best.
As I get the least.
As I want flower.
As I get thorn.
As I want smiley.
As I get finicky.
As I ask kindness.
As I get roughness.
As I crave for u.
As I ‘m away from u.
As it’s nothing more.
As it’s nothing less.
As it’s from heart.
As it’s innocent.
Friends always!
As it’s nothing more.
As it’s nothing less....

I'm feeling quite finicky today;
Perhaps a bit deranged.
Are those people gawking at me?
Have I been re-arranged?

I'm feeling like a vagabond;
Whose been left out in the rain.
This young punk is just daring me
To overlap my pain.

Good thing I'm not the big, bad boss;
I'd fire the whole damn planet!
Find God's hidden Garden of Eden
And go ahead and re-plant it....

I went to the grocer 
To buy her some food
But she turned her nose up
Seems nothing looked good

I went to the butcher
To buy her some steak
But she insisted
‘Twas all beyond fake

I drove through the drive-through
To get her a bite
The fries were too greasy
And didn’t taste right 

So I took her home
At a loss, in defeat
Found her at the litter box
Eating cat treats...

My mind is experiencing a fastidious flatulence; slightly fiendish, and not for the
finicky or fainthearted. 
I fidget amidst it's fanatical far-fetched farce yet stand fearless, watching it's face
flounder in a foolhardy feeble-minded foible. 
With fervor I say farewell forever to it's festering, feverish fetish, as it's frantic
fiasco foams, flails and finally fails.

It looks so pleasing and engaging, 
But it is very tricky, and, yet, finicky, 
That can pull us down beneath our feet,
With our own pride, while we’re rising up.
So let’s not yield us to our minds, which 
May blind us to be demolished by the foe, 
The enemy visible as a friend, though not. 
Hence, we must be beware of praise 
That may elicit us to lose our rise.

Be on sensory alert and always stay curious.
Speak out against wrongs and what makes you furious.
Use caution when out on the street.
Don't just rub up on any one you meet.
Stay finicky about any thing you eat..
Pay close attention to your hygiene,
always keep those front paws clean..
If you want to live those nine lives, better
find time to exercise..
When your energy is feeling zapped it's
okay to curl up and take that nap.....

A particular precise master gardener with a touch of delight
lives in this castle, that looks glorious and bright
Her curtains are delicate, gauzy and fine.
She knows how to plant her blooms in a line.

She did not always spend so much time on this place
But she adores her yard and house, a gorgeous space.
Rarely entertains for upkeep and beautification takes all of her time.
She is totally happy with it, this finicky great aunt of mine....

Today I bought myself a treat,

A beautiful pen, it's awfully neat.

I write my poetry out in ink

With lovely penmanship....so I think.

Pens are something I am finicky about.

They must not blot or skip...or I'll pout.

If I find one that is really good

I buy several...as anyone would.

I am now on my fifth journal of prose

All written by hand...legibly I suppose.

So my newest pen seems like it's a good one.

For it looks just lovely when I'm done....

I caught me a billowing passion fish
A sky burnt sienna and wild
to the delight of my meandering, cotton-tailed heart
to the release of the infinite sigh...

You grew.

The tips of my fingers stung raw
The clouds taggle tugged at the strings
My mind raced with flurries and tremulous worries 
and other monstrosity things.

I won the race with the finicky sky.
Your fish to my water-logged heart
Eventually, we gazed from the ground
Sweet hands intertwined from afar......

I  really enjoy and appreciate poetry
And about it have often been finicky;
Am your slave;
You will crave
All of my poems that are never kinky.   

Writing poems on I am proceeding,
While learning how to be leading;
God forbid;
Trump never did;
Many bad things out to be weeding.

Many more great poems will still write
While rest of other poets flew a kite
Had been sailing,
And kept  failing;
Used expressions that are quite trite.
