Short Flighty Poems

Resilient are those, who are seemingly broken;
Mighty are the ones so flighty, who own truths left unspoken....

There once was a flighty young puffin'
Who fancied a blueberry muffin'
When his mother came back,
She said "Cut me some slack!"
"It's sprats or you ain't gettin' nuffin'!"...

I love my diaphanous nightie
It’s sexy and sheer- its quite flighty
But it’s a shocking disgrace
Scant material and lace
Cost hubby ninety-nine pounds ninety!

A flighty young lady from Torbay
Got seen having sex in a doorway
She blushed bright scarlet red
Said I like it in bed
But this is just part of our foreplay!

It's a good question; whom we can call it; possibly
a person who is irresponsible, constantly
talks too much, a flighty
scatterbrained psyche;
It's a slang term, for a person who is gossipy.

She's no Aphrodite, but sweet as honey-
not weak or flighty; she hoards her money.

She then turns around and Oh, Lord Almighty-
does something profound she thinks is alrighty.

She doesn't make a fuss, 
just hands it all to us....

Craft choice
Prize poise
Nude noise
Vet voice


Seize show
Grand glow
Free flow
Keep know


Love lights
Feel flighty
Boom bright
Sweet sights


Dream day
Wise way
Sound say
Prompt pay

gregariously aloof and whimsical
flighty and shifty,
formless...

a rigid basis of logic
protects the wavering light,
setting the course for those without a course.

the time and emotion are one,
intervals aligned,
vulnerable yet persistent.

Meager attempts leave lofty goals out of reach;
while thin thoughts leech away my creativity,
I pry perfunctory pieces from flighty sources,
searching for literary gold.
Holding my hands in place, I wait to erase a mess,
in case someone decides to test my poetic valor....

frivolous
flighty, flippant
dallying, flirting, trifling
sport, play; study, staidness
sobering, unamusing, purposing
resolute, passionate

Scrub floors or walk the plank
Cook continuously
Emotions flighty felt
Swim vigorously in sea

What bad could happen next
On sea floating within inch
Of boat with slow gait
What an experience

Next time I'll just say,
"Yes, dear" for it  will be
Much safer than the plank
And sharks in open sea....

Marnie’s man was tall, hairy, and burly.
What he wore sometimes made her quite surly.
“Not the pink heels and nightie!
Why must you be so flighty?
Wear the black, and I like your hair curly!”

The Evident Person

We are not
that evident person
 we have
life-long assumed..

That assumption is
a thought which
allows negotiation of
life's twists and turns
but which also forms
hardened beliefs and
suffering..

The thought recognition
of its flighty nature
ignites the Expansion of
the evident person
and the birth of a
new You......

Dang, you're gone.
You're really gone?
Andrea says so and she's no liar.

All your effusive
romantic
over-the-topness.
Frantic, fearless, forever flighty,
fabulous, ferocious for-realness.

Gone.

Waiting for the rest of us.
Sure to have flowers and rivers,
cliffs, sunsets and descriptions we'd never have thought of
on our own.

Until we meet again.

Namaste....

Colonel Flighty is a cad
Thinks himself a funny wag
Thinks he's mighty, ain't that sad
"Look at me! A strutting stag!"

Jiggly belly, jowls that sag
Throat all phlegmy, such a drag
Trousers smelly, makes you gag
Leaky colostomy bag.

Toss him quickly drown a crag
If he lives we'll be so mad
End his sickly feeble brag
Hear his fading shout, "Egad!"...

Victoria’s got a secret - 
But she’s told me I can share
She’ll get his temperature rising
With her sexy underwear

Girls you can’t go wrong
With a silky little thong
A negligee or a nightie
So sheer it sure is flighty

Wear her panties and bras
You can dress like the stars

OF LOVE’S SYNDROME


Insomnia
Loss of appetite
Daydreaming
Incessant smiling
Neurotic
Indecisiveness
Misjudgment
Distress
Stress
Walking endlessly
Flighty
On cloud nine
Ulceritis
Hard of hearing
Nervous breakdown
Imagine illness
Unexplainable phenomena
Sinusitis
Unknown cause of crying
Disorientation.

PLEASE SEE A CARDIOLOGIST OR A COMEDIAN!...

They’ve been dancing in the garden all afternoon,
Flashes of red and brown.
Moving away from and then back together,
Flirting and flighty.

She hid in the vivid green hedge ,
He followed her there.
Flurries of excitement,
He chased her out and across the flat manicured lawn.

Afterwards,
Stillness.
She disappeared.
He looked about impudently,
Then swiftly flew away....

MOTH

silly little things,
with nighttime wings,
corrupting 
wool clothes.
audacity to land
on my screen door.
but this poet
finds one,
passed out
on the floor.
wants to examine
its wings.
where she would
have thrown, this
miniscule plane out,
without
a second thought.
pressing
it into pages,
two flighty wings.
antennas that feel,
a great deal, of
silly little things.

He is an earthy fool of morning—

makes the uphill trek of five leagues

and gathers anemones.

 

He is a fiery child of dusk—

arrives in the quietness beyond fatigue

and knocks at the door.

 

She is a flighty girl of night—

wears an anemone in her hair

and opens the door.

 

It is a deranged river of dawn

breaks the shackles that tamed it once

and rears its hood to strike....

Listen to poem:

It's wrapped
And it's hidden
To discover
You must
Believe it is 
Chosen,
You just have to
Trust,

From a place of
Love
With kindness
Aplenty 
With care
With a thoughtful
Intent 
Nothing empty

A gift
It is precious 
Not worldly
Or flighty
The love's
In the gesture
In thoughtfulness 
Mighty

Transaction 
There may be
But don't be
Deceived
For a gift to have
Traction
It must be 
Received...

Maybe this is it
Our time to do an inventory check
Of what is important
Of what messes with our soul
What's irrelevant 
We might also neglect things
We thought were important
Cause honesty they never were

So maybe all those lightweight relationships 
We thought were integral
Just lost all their shine
Because we had to take stock
Of our happiness in our homes
Without chasing those flighty or fickle ones

We are prancing in place with a joy that is catching.
Our pony tails are flying; we are dancing and batching.
We are the cheerleaders, so pretty, persnickety with perk 
None of us will end up with an ickety loser or jerk. 

We are the cheerleaders, let us kick high and mighty.
Our hair is fly away beautiful, and we are all flighty.
We clap in rhythm, each thrilled to be one of the team.
We prance, dance, flip and twirl,  never running out of steam....

You offer me sanctuary, though I didn't ask
I don't understand but I greedily grasp
You hold me in comfort no matter my flaws
Slowly I settle, start retracting my claws
I'm the frightened animal, unaccustomed to care
Untamed and flighty, yet you don't need to ensnare
Though I sense danger, I'm drawn to your side
Overwhelmed and uncertain as different worlds collide
Forever changed from wild unfortunate soul
Solitary creature now craves to feel whole...

I love my rusty dusty car,
the most entrusted car, by far; 
a sort of hey! Come out and play, 
both here at home and far away,
a last hurrah, a real star,
my mighty, flighty, motor car.

I’ve had it now for quite a time,
I bought it new and in its prime.
It rumbles, crumbles, trundles on,
through life’s eternal marathon.
It is my friend, the best by far.
Just me - and my old motor car.
