Short Half Pint Poems

angels we are
from time to time
we fall 
our wings of Grace
are the smiles 
etched on our face

and you’re brimming

in those big bright eyes
and words spewing out
like an overzealous fountain

a bottomless sense
of giddy humor
a full-blown half-pint comedian

  when this runt became a king
He’d toast the Strumpet, Fortune
  removing her g-string… 

In the morning he’d awaken
  and reach for his good luck
But he’d clutch an empty pillow
  ~ back seat of a pick-up truck...
