Venetian Carlo Crevilli
a renaissance master,maybe
Compared now to Magritte
his sophisticated follies somewhat a treat
Silent, sarcastic sneering
Dark, deadly deliberation
Ignoring ignited ire
Foolish fervor over fateful follies.
Diamonds and roses, a wall
Painted with blood and tears
Glass slippers, a ball
Slept for a hundred years

There is a President, Donald Trump
Thought to have the U.S. stumped
All his policies
Sorry, his follies
Likened to cancer tumours clumped
These demimondaines, these Follies, on their Parisian stage
Frequently exciting in titillation to naked bare they
Encouraging heckles in erupt amidst sweated brows
The homophobic banker he was penned
That careless fool was found to misspend
He thought prison would be cake
Until he met fat old Jake
Now he has got a hairy boyfriend!
Polly loved eating lollies
She'd rather eat sweets than play with toys and dollies
She began to regret
The sweets that she ate
When her teeth all fell out for her follies
Down by the sea
Where my mind goes awry
Where my eyes don't see
But the stars above high
Dark is the horizon
A wide wide abyss
What do i dream of
What do i live
A life full of follies
A life full of bless
Rays of night-glistening stars
Finding their way to lullaby
Above your gently breathing heart;
A heart at peace
As the day has ceased its follies
And sleeps in trust until the morrow
When the dawn birds sing.
Frogs
Frog follies this year
featuring the loudest croak
All frogs in review!
Lilly Pads
Floating lilly pads,
used in spring as sailboats for
poliwogs galore!
Marty Owens for Lilly Pads and Frogs contest
My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say.
W arm welcome _come entwine
I dealism at its fullest pursuit
S age seeking more truths given by the Holy Spirit
D amaging fables and follies denied
O bserver of mankind's mistakes and learn
M aestro of observation
there is no peace
when man fears the eyes of mann
when faint follies and karma
provokes silent sullen protest
mounted by cruelty
and thee essence of the raw mann
destine to rule over a people
in the meantime

HAIKU MAXIMS FOR EVERYDAY DEALING WITH YOUR BOSS
If you want to hear
Your boss decreases his voice
Quickly admit your fault
The sigh of your boss
Is a sign of frustration
Caused by your follies
Always treat your boss
As professional, and be
Not too familiar
“A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still”—
But though we will with all our might,
A sober thought still wins that fight.
A fairer rhyme I thus propose,
Our feckless follies to expose:
“A man convinced by stubborn will
Has surely swigged some sturdy swill.”
Why is it so,
that so easily,
my mind rebukes,
the wisdom of its days,
and follies with jokes of ill witted humour,
which serendipidously challenge friendships hand,
casts love and joy aside in an instant,
derails the path ahead,
and makes for
a future,
alone.
I give credit to who and what we are
that keep us moving: forward across
obstacles, through the darkness;
upward beyond limitations
of known heights;
inward to love
ourselves
and the
others
lurking
within; downward
to respect our follies, and
backward to never forget.
Neath a moonbeam
reflected pond
dream after dream
we vagabond
Through night’s follies
they ride the waves
stringed waterlilies
a path it paves
Underwater
mermaid’s whisper
candied kiss spur

Another day of work
begins at 6 and ends at 2
could be dead, could be busy
don't know for sure
everyday is different from the last
fast food is unpredictable
guess I'll have to wait and see
how busy we're going to be
I'll count down the minutes til I get to leave
just to do it all over again on Friday at 4.
Form:
what is
what was
what will be
what never to see
what never to feel
what never said
what shouldn't have been said
what awaits
what I await
what paths taken
what doors unopened
what halls traveled
what follies experienced
what love lost
what once tasted
what once trusted
never forgotten
but, oh so missed.
Form:
Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray on Field,
Italian storm did French fend off fairly for a time;
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful,
Zinedan Zidane zealous; headbutt callous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch, 'nother victim o' Zidane
Red card issued, final curtain
Frenchies lose, Zidane for certain.
Rejoining the world
after shaking off the ashes
mishaps came
and yet I rise
Trials known
by fire
but still surpassing follies
taking to heart each mistake
Looking back
reminding me of the places
one been
determined to move forward
Lighting my own way
by flames of desire
my will is strong
hope will never die
Form:
The wise one learns lessons
new or unknown
from the follies and errors
of others,
but does so a whole lot more
from his own;
for he takes all of these
good-naturedly,
with wry humor and true
humility,
while owning up to some
stupidity.
“Don’t take candy from a stranger,”
My mother said,
Unless you’re dressed like Frankenstein
With a hideous mask on your head.
If Christmas is about a baby’s birth,
Why do we buy trinkets and bobbles,
For all daddy’s worth?
When that baby died,
And rose from the dead,
To celebrate they told me,
A rabbit can lay an egg.
DASTARDLY DEEDS
A man may mean goodness, grace, even gaiety
But his action brings betrayal to bear
His wisdom is left wantonly withering
And destruction brings doom
Due to his dastardly deeds
So beware the brazen betrayal
Lest you fall prey to his foolish follies
