Short Gabby Poems

lost in a dirt-path
amidst the thickets of forest
eyes grasp new silence

Enclosed box
swiftly opened,
allowing mouth
to chew and pop!
Ready now--

Gabby Gertie garbles news.
Lusty Lester likes his booze.
Twixt the two, tall tales are told.
Seven salacious stories sold.
Tearful Tillie hides her face.
Loathsome lies lead to disgrace.

Gabby Hayes once said it best
Of an icon of the West:

“It’s Hoppy’s laugh I recall
As we rode on down the line—
Like water over a fall,
Makin’ the whole world just fine.”

Memories now ride the night,
Knowing Gabby Hayes was right....

Fitting like second skin,
far better than what he
finds in the closet. Now 
feathered, a Mardi Gras;
floating on dance of lies.
False hopes of romance masked,
For this man's lonely schemes.

Fingers curl,
Wrapped around your breast
As that smile enters  my eyes.
I gesture back with awkward hands, yet
There’s no need for you speak---
My heart understands
Unsaid words.

 Leaping into the fog of night
chirps brightly , acapella
to awaken an instant thrill
with moistened wing-pads flicking--
a bug wiggles like a ribbon
caught now in my glassy jar!

She's a blue-eyed little girl
With a charming dimpled smile;
She has long, black, bouncy curls,
And a voice that's high in style.

Emma- the name that says it all:
Kind and gentle, honest, joyful,
Witty, gabby, true, and playful.
Emma- she isn't very tall,
But Emma is the girl that has it all....

If horses 
Had voices
They would yell Hee Haw!
But that's the cowboys atop their backs 
Releasing them from their corrals-stalls
Galloping away 
As they sway 
Yippee ki-yay 
Horses do have voices 
See all they do is winnie~

Seagulls roost on a dock
With calming tweets of song
But I wobble along
As night quivers 

Fleeting birds reel below
While tide swishes away
Lonely like wings of day
Mocked by despair

This pier screams for Bella
Her hair feathered in gold
Waved ruffles to behold
I drown---she’s gone.

When I was young and pretty
The men would pay me court
But now I'm old and wrinkled
They don't want my sort

When I was young and blonde
My figure was very neat
But now I'm so overweight
I can hardly see my feet

When I was young and gabby
I could dance the night away
But now I'm old and flabby
And lucky to walk each day

Oh, woe is me!!...

A wail escapes from its bow

Each note rising, ebbing

To cut into my pinch of ache;

While strings quiver on flesh, 

A wail escapes from its bow.

- My godfather gave me his violin for my
  music lessons in high school. Since then, 
  I got hooked on this instrument; 
  a valuable possession.

My train wreck Gabby
was a gem indeed
A giant Newfoundland
a stubborn breed

Loving and gentle
all 180 pounds
She was a mighty hunter
and she protected our grounds

For fourteen years
I loved her dear
Even when she ate my dinner
and drank my beer

I miss that dog
three past eleven
She is now with my Mom
upstairs in heaven

Friendship should be kept,
though miles we're apart
distance it's still great;
because you are in my heart.

I'm gabby that makes you pique
I tell all with no holds barred,
I laugh, feel angry, I kick
for you pal, I won't be scared.

You just don't know why
I stick on and never leave,
even mountains that are full
of thorns, for you I'll drop by.

Whenever you are needing me,
I'm always be there anytime of the day....

The cross on side the road
       For Tj, Megan,Gabby, and Ian

They were only kids
Barely adults,
Driving home
And something terrible happened...

Everyone awoke
To this horrid accident,
A car in a bayou
With its goners,
Unable to escape
Slowly drowning...

No survivors.

I went walk by this cross
And a parked car faced it,
A man
Sits there,
Staring...
Tears slowly crawling down his face.

My heart broke
For his lost son,
Sitting there
Just staring at this cross....
