Wings

A bear and a wolf
met in a tree
they both confessed
reincarnation
is a possibility...

some people think us rowdy

we greet them with a howdy

and once in our barn

they get a tall yarn

and some apple pan dowdy.

Friend
Comforting familiarity
Lasting a lifetime
Yet even lifetimes end
Memories

Memories
Laughing uncontrollably
We should not
That makes it funnier 
Hilarity...

I befriended a lesbian named Mary Lou
Enamored with women and all that they do 
With her loving spree 
As a man, I agree 
And have to think, I might be a lesbian too!...

Could Estonia help Vlad get paid?
He'll claim they're Russian and invade!
Better than cash bonds
Putin can use their blondes
To entice his mark Trump to get laid...

When about to open one's mouth and criticize
    A dear friend of mine used to say:

Don't give advice 'tii you walk a mile in his shoes
   Then you've got his shoes, and he's a mile away...

     My friends tell me I'm a 'tad neurotic'
       though they really mean 'totally psychotic'

     So around them, I show off my 'full schizoid' 
       ~ picking my zits while reading Freud...

Trees like friends are always around

They allow me to nestle beneath their shade

When it seems like good friends can never be found

I counted twenty-something tree friends I’ve already made!

Tribute To A Tributer

I Am Anaya likes good food and fine rhyme
Dining with Poetry Soup all the time
She posts tributes so terse
but they could be verse
With a love of poetry so true and sublime

Poor Ralph worried about his good friend's weight
  O.B. City said, "Don't care if I'm late!"
    Though Weight-Watchers next meeting
    Was first-come, first-serve seating
  O.B. City'd long been 'watching his weight'...

Limerick : Once Gout which got a Lady in disease

Once Gout which got Lady in disease
Which meant she couldn’t hop ‘bout with ease
In doubt came together
With Louts feeling Super(ior)
To keep Gadabouts (from) eating Chinese.

A puppeteer and a columnist
Two greeting persons of great talent
A writer and a simple artist
Met in New York on a bench God-sent
Acquaintance that brought humor and scent
To watchers and walkers awed with skill
Moving and talking puppets that shrill...

She lives just down the street from everyone.
Older couples like to talk about her over coffee.
She is the salt of the earth, golden shafts of wheat
waving in wind. She walks her dog, and it sits.

The eight merry maids of Montrose
Quite vexed that they can't touch their toes

began a regime
they worked as a team

but by Fall could just touch their nose


Discouraged they wept and just sat
Why couldn't they trim all that fat?

the plan was supreme
they all had a dream

Their plan was to eat cake and chat !...

My new roommate Mary has a bad case of halitosis,
one day I told her and almost ended up with a fat lip,
unfortunately my roommate has breath and a temper like a bear,
truthfully her bad breath makes me want to leave the area,
having a birthday I gave her TheraBreath wishing I was the tooth fairy.

Most people that I meet, 
Indoors or on the street, 
Are essentially polite, 
So, we don't get in a fight. 

After I know them a while, 
They may become hostile,  
With opinions really strong, 
And then I'm always wrong. 

Later, I find they're insane, 
And we become friends again. 
The crazy phase is more fun
When all is said and done....

Just “Kiddin”
Miracle man
10/26/2024

Any story travels fast,
in a three dog town.
Moments from inception, 
it will move crosstown.

Once a close group,
now fragmented friends.
Each waiting on the other,
to make amends.

It shouldn’t take much,
just issue a retraction. 
For what began as a joke
got an overreaction.

*(These are some Senryu poems about bestfriends.) *

My best friends and I
can talk with each other with
facial expressions

Friends can face-slap
insult each other - we know
each other so well.

We can spend a whole
day, at the park, just sitting
on the swings chatting.

Ever looked at your 
bestfriend and thought, “We should be
standup comedians.”...

Here are more Senryu 
poems about friendships. 
Those who are your crew =]

Parents give advice
but our friends, knowing more, have
usable answers.

We laugh at the same 
moments - at home, school, or play
- we have shared viewpoints.

We laugh at how we 
won’t turn into our moms
but we know we will.

We share so many
inside jokes - we speak
our own language....
