Short Flounce Poems

A basket ball player with bounce
Said, “All my opponents I'll trounce.”
But thanks to a gale
He fell on his tail,
And off in a huff he'd to flounce!...

Oh, what a style – my, what a look!
Make it flounce with lace and luxuries galore,
Add ruffles and superfluities with a golden hook,
Embellish the indulgences all others adore,
Excessive immoderation is what you should cook,
I’ll have cheese on my burger – my delectable amour!...

The Ginko's golden leaves rustle
Tickled by easterly bustle
Flounce upon the straight limbs
So like a flirty lady dressed
In her long golden gown her best
Permanence or fun her whims

Always wear thongs when you’re fifty
and let those buttocks bounce
Don’t give a jot ‘bout your wobbly bot
Just flounce that extra ounce
No twin-set and pearls
nor hair in tight curls
just denim and boots
And disguising your roots
Not growing older
Just bigger
And bolder
Keep a smile on your face
And grow old in dis-grace!...

The flop and flurry
of woozy wings
tromps over hedgerows.
Claws scrabble
feathers flounce.

Here a rowdy cackle
in a coddled coo,
there a hullabaloo
in a ruffled flutter.
Birdsongs pumps up,
balloon into chattering tunes.

Another teaming tussle,
another musical lurch
as sleepy birds
roll off
their nocturnal perch....

Beg not assumption - not entail
that love for Thee does not assail
but wears Faith proudly to exhale
receding not my own avail!

Love's holding on, measured by ounce
does not wear time as captioned flounce.
Forever biding, stealth not pounce
as waiting, tithe the absenced mount.

Now's detriment - as weight denounce -
Love's measure lightens - bounce by bounce!...

Outward appearances can be deceiving
But guesses are you are very revealing
Simple gestures seem to be wasted on you
Even compassion and care are taken askew
So you vilify and harass like no other
Supremely convinced and poised to smother
Irrational and illogical you flounce about
Only to cause misery with each breath out
Never forget and do not ever be deceived
Some day some how comeuppance will be achieved...

Ticket booth requests destination
manually I type your name,
a mathematical equation
couldn't convince me to abstain,

Catching despair in my reflection
streetlights flounce, dreary windowpanes
tracking raindrops with affection,
pining for your embrace, once again

Traveling express train to heaven
station platforms, fleeting by
mimicking photographs in my mind,
camera rolls, flicker the sky....

Kohl your eyes
with soot
Cover yourself 
in girl. I am 
locked in
looking

widow eat me. ha.
flounce and want
extracted from 
propaganda that
made the jail
that holds us

you want the having
complicity on my
dream island. ha.
betrayal from 
behind

annnnngnn release
white into that 
black hole that
society hates
us
to 
love


kiss me spiderwoman
my man will :
be consumed by
trust in 
your fabric
femininity...

Clearly defined that life were once
defined for me ~ announced,
nor evolution's goal, a mobile trounce
I live, nay, not to know your love, but ounce?

Not so, some ailing of assume
I live to love as God would see me through
in knowing you, in knowing you, some flounce
that Hope determines ordinate resource.

Then only love can fill God's planning force,
a power divine from wondering its course
forecast by daily leveraged endorse ~
this day so spent, I merger my recourse!...
