Short Four Times Poems

My coffee machine broke and I have it insured,
It was supposed to be uplifted four times 
Where on earth is Argos?...

As you see we have no Febreze
Butt cover your smell if you please
Just spritz three or four times
Then release by design 
and the next person won't say "Jeeze!"...

The sea monsters are real.
He's viewed them four times.
A tour guide from Loch Ness.
What do they have to hide?
Although it's just a guess.
I'm still trying to Decide....

Limericks can be jovial as they're meant to be
But can also be passionate a la spirit esprit
My thoughts are this
I'd sure be remiss
Writing only silliness four times outta three...

Head over heels with a sweetie I just met
Maybe four times her age but toots my clarinet
If I was a young snapper
And age didn't matter
I'd tickle her keys then smoke a cigarette...

CinderHella purposefully lost her slipper.
It kept running after her.
It put itself back onto her foot three or four times.
She flung it off the stairs.
It waited for her at the bottom.
Threw itself into the stagecoach
Ruining her happily ever after....

Her Lover

his tongue
has rung
her bell
so swell
cows moo
milk flew
a mile
she smile
so soft
her loft
one time
two chimes
two times
wall climbs
three times
he's prime
four times
she hymns
star gaze
she blaze
a trip
bit lips

She stubbed her toe
And tripped over the edge
But he caught her
And held her tight
Tight enough she shattered
He put her back together three or four times,
But once another little lady tripped over the edge
He dropped her over
So as she fell
She thought to herself,
"That was abrupt."...

Streaks of orange hue
Burst as dewed flowers
Remind me anew,
Of lost sundown hours
When eyes bid adieu.

There was amazing brilliance
in her non-responses.
She walked away quietly
after being goaded four times 
by an especially annoying co-worker.

We glanced at her, in amazement,
most of us readily caught up in this
person’s web, daily.
We were in awe that she
gave no one permission to
irritate or annoy her....

Sunset Tableau


She had been taken
suddenly, too soon
no tears, or sadness
all else just faded
in golden aura
signaling good-bye.

The cow waltzes around the lamp post three times

MOOOO!

Cow’s milk
Mother’s milk
The milk of human kindness

Why did you not love me mother?
Why did you demean me father?
Why does dusk’s fading aura not bid me good night?

The cow tangos around the lamp post four times

and weeps...

entering between
two lily pads and pausing. . . 
a small dragonfly

in and out of view
the dragonfly flits four times. . . 
darkness following

I search for frog sounds
to go with the lily pads
of my cell phone’s screen


A link given me by Ruben about
a frog playing with a cell phone (hilarious,
and only 30 seconds: .http://youtu.be/sfSJP8avHWI)...

skip
a stone seven
times across
water's of
a calm pond
before day's bugle
blows

walk
stop
motionly around
an oak
tree before it's
two years old
too late

always
every
full moon even
if it oddly falls
twice
in one month
be nude

repeat
these
these three stanzas
four times two
everyday til twelve
midnight the first
of May...

Funeral today
Teardrops flow freely
I gaze at the sky
Sun sets on your life
Glorious gold glow
Soothes my breaking heart

Watching sunsets flare
Hypnotized we stare.
Horizons last light
Burning orange bright.
Heaven and earth one,
As our day is done.

Used Quote from the Little Prince 
“One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!’ ‘You know, when you’re feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful.

I am consumed by my love for you
I cannot contain it anymore 
I have to let you know how I feel
I have given you a card to let you know 
I spent tons of time on it 
So I should like to know 
Do you love me Yes or No



Someone sent me an e-card about four times.. he, "It" said he spent tons of time on it. I kept thinking it was a virus waiting for me. So I never clicked on it....

By the wayside the calling of nature;
The four seasons in a change;
Four times four stages in life;
Universal charge earthing cabin;
Natural phenomenal created by God for sure;
Just like in his bow in the sky ;
Colors vibrant changes on the ground;
Vivint vibrant majestic physiological colors autumns  found;

                    Twelve o'clock at night,
                        Timepiece ticks twenty four times,
                               Creepy sensation,
                                    Things crawling beneath my flesh,
                                            The light asleep until dawn.

In the sky
At the bottom of the Earth
Four times the size
Of the U.S. of A.

In Chile,
Blinded salmon, rabbits
And ranchers
Testify to something nasty
Going on with the sun.

Up North,
Cavefish politicians
Scoff at these revelations, saying,
"No hole up here, and see -
We've been blind for years."

One day these self-made eyeless
May find themselves upon the plates 
Of the forgotten Morlocks down below....

Curious of Jesus and so he could see
little Zacchaeus climbed up a tree.
     Jesus passing that way
     looked up and did say,
“Into your house you'll give welcome to me.”

“From where comes his wealth?” Some grumblers did groan.
“I'll give half to the poor of all that I own;
     those I've fleeced moreover
     repay four times over.”
To him that day salvation was known.

Luke 19.1-10...
