Short Fumed Poems

He was prone to anger
for he knew no challenger
so he fumed for days
Rolling himself in relays
until he got himself in danger...

There was an elderly fellow from Dopp
whose steady gas-passing he couldn't stop.
The odor was terrible
totally unbearable
so alone he lived as a popping fop....

Phyllis Phyffer phoned a friendly farmer,
And proffered a mere pittance for his land.
"Phooey!" fumed the fairly livid farmer,                     
And dropped the phone receiver from his hand....

Short memory, what was I trying to remember
This is getting serious, don't remember my gender
In the ladies washroom
They all screamed and fumed
Saw some sights but incapacitated I was rendered...

A very short memory, what was I trying to remember
This is getting serious, don't remember my gender
In the ladies washroom
They all screamed and fumed
Saw some sights but incapacitated I was rendered...

honeybees in sun
hover through hours like honey
red gold and green blooms

faceted stained fields
fragrant like fumed fantasies
flaunting like fashions

hypnotizing hum
hot high noon activities
plum hourly humdrum...

Earnest Ernie Van Stickle,
Sat on a mushy pub pickle.
Yeah, Ernie was hot,
He fumed as he bristled.
Now he had a wet spot.
with a big sticky tickler.
He said OH, why not,
and ordered a triple.
Then, even Earnie smiled,
when the bar keep opined,
Van, better wet, than a Thistle....

I cannot
continue seeing
you in that
condition;
drunk and broken down living
on fumed promises.

How dare she
hold your heart in her
poisoned hands,
not caring
if you die or if you live
until tomorrow!

Must I see
only your tombstone, 
and her cold
eyes laughing
at me because her power 
was greater than mine?...

Where the white gnaws
a brook,
black Ash trees sink

waist high
in a smoking frost.
My coat is a rook's shadow.

I need to thaw a fumed silhouette,
warm my breath
from old body embers.

Ahead, robin red-flames
tattoo creaking water.

Between the tinder
and the cold flare,
a fag end of sun

ignites icicles
in a brief day-blush.

fostered face etched'n
gaunt grave swept
dark dribbles dug
sassy syllables sung
song's gores gibe
meagre moan thrives

assembled books belched
cremating callous crest
kaleidoscopic knowledge crept

hoisted acumen hatched
voluptuous cramp crashed
sundry zeal stripped

confined fate fumed
by fury bruised.

moaning melody bruised
reeling rusty cruise
dark dribbles drooled
felon fate fumed
hankering hoisted licked
voluptuous flames flipped

punctured palm pricked
callous consciousness clipped
sassy stripes stripped

bounty flesh fostered
taunted tune triggered
eerie emotions filtered

bounty beats birthed
wanky wail flirted

Note: Of drooling drums....

Dots of light dotted the dome
Displaying dismal disks
Halfhearted innuendos of harmony
Repetitive, unremarkable recordings
Minimally interesting, middle class, mediocre
Small wonder he thought, smirking, smarting
Discipline dismissed, discarded
Replaced with fun, funk and fad
Foolishness fueled Fukem, he fumed
No more, no more, no more
The military, military school, immediately!...

Fireworks


Darkest night glittered bright with lights,
Sweets, gifts, embrace, put off all fights,
Fireworks play !

Blazing passion fumed high in chest,
Invisible till reached crest,
Firewood ash !

Emotions shackled in customs,
Struggle to break free is phantom,
Firearm shots !

Trump and Biden, a joint election win,
In the White House, they both walked in.
But the cat, feeling small,
Grew peevish in the hall,
Wondering who'd let the doggone cat in!

NYT News:

Trump and Biden, declared winners so fine,
Shared victory's crown, sipped the celebratory wine.
But the White House cat, oh, so peevish in clatter,
Fussed and fumed, with a grumpy, sour chatter!
W.C.Barry, White House Correspondent...

'Breathing Death'


Atavistic air of love entombed
Awake aware of fossils fumed
Dragons breath a fatal fire
Sleeping death poison for hire

Eyes wide shut awaiting dark
Restless rut as demons bark
Descending stench clouds of gore
The reaper shrouds the whore

Now trapped within I sleep
Intoxicating mortal sin I weep.

dark dribbles drooled
punctured passion puked
felon fate fumed
fiddling fostered fluid
hankers hoisted bled
cremating callous crest

three-eyed thrills tuned
cupping quatrain's clue:
gaunt guts glued

sassy days spent
rusty reels rent
jumpy judgement vent

thrashed quatrain thrown
into bottomless bow.
