Short Frizzed Poems

I weather forecast
I feel the frizzed cold-wave
it'll be minus 30 degrees

Not as great as I hoped the inventor said
Strong coffee laxative went to his head
His hair frizzed up like Einstein’s crazy mop.
I think I shall drink this to the very last drop

Your face said you did not like it said his wife.
Apparently, she did not understand his weird life.
If he did not feel punished, he would not be he.
Guilt and shame to him felt childhood-normally....

Soft rain had blurred the lines
Softened the edges
Frizzed the sharpness
Of artistic angst

Smiles drooped,
fingers grew thinner,
somehow reaching out.

The eyes caught the raindrops
Blinked them into dappled blues
Noses spread in humor's humidity
Glasses sliding from their tips

They would all leave
Float away on a
Chalky rainbow river

Leaving us to wonder
Where do they go?

I am alone so alone my heart is born
Birth in solitude
My heart is misguided
I am slighted
So alone, all alone
My heart is alone
So exciting, so inviting
Unlike it's just the way the snow falls
Birth in solitude
My rain is misguided
Frozen water slighted
So alone, all alone snow 
My heart beats born to pump life giving blood
My sky is full with cool-cold frizzed snow
