Short High Five Poems

What a ride we share 
I've got one hand on the wheel 
the other high five...

Doggie paw patting
My leg under the table
Notice me, love me,
Give me a sweet treat to eat
Don't make me have to repeat!...

Fling me into the stratosphere
I will wave when I arrive
Shoot me out of a cannon, Dear.
I promise to give you a big high five!...

Buy your full-body burka now 
Made in Texas to fit a cow
The colour is black
It fits like a sack
So you'll feel as free as a sow!...

Why must a shared smile and a high five
send ripples of pain shivering through my body?
Cringe, oh cringe, at the double-edged sword of desire!...

My dog is so cool
She can give me a high five
Better than the under dog
She can really fly
If you have ever seen her
Then your lucky your alive...

A moth in the night
Finds a shard of window light
Hovers there awhile...
It rattles the window screen
My eyes lift,  to see the moon

We all jumped in with our high fives
Slapping and popping and loving it
Then the pandemic came along
With lots of warnings 
We do not care
We still meet and high five
and hug and live and love...

Listen to poem:

High fives all round for Five fingers, Five toes
My pentagon poem has just Five lines
Five minute iambic pentameter
Each line has Ten syllables, Five by Two 
One for each human appendage and sense....

Way to go! High Five


With my hand up in the air I gave a high five

I misjudged my aim, I had to dive

The road of my life is serpentine,
Wavy and with High-Five traffic jams.
Bewildering to me, but not to God,
Someday He will pull it straight,
Like that Christmas ribbon that curls.
All I can do now is talk to Him,
And wait until the ribbon unfurls....

Cold as ice 
Roll the dice 
Once or twice 
My advice 
Might be nice  

Not a sin 
Might cash in 
Fill your tin 
Give me skin
If you win


 
*Give me skin- Lay it on me..."High-Five"

When sneezing does it feel like you head will come off
I'm always ready to catch it much to my friends guffaws
They cheer and high five me
As I stick it back on with glee
Quite a spectacle, utter amazement it can cause

Expectant parents line baby’s nursery with a giant foul garbage bin.
Others come to celebrate – lugging grime and mold, a huge baby win.
Boy or girl, it matters not, even during a nuclear war, cockroaches survive.
The excited expectant grandparents give each other a clicking high-five....

mom doesn't care
What you think
Messy hair
Dishes in sink

I sleep in her bed
And cry on her hip
She ignored what you said
Your concerned tip

She doesn't desire
A high five
Her priorities higher
Motivation and drive

Gently she brushes
Off the remarks
To the toilet she flushes
No room on the ark...

Amazon delivery man tiptoes up driveway
Pretends to not notice my zebra pajamas
When he stumbles over ordinary words
I feel a bit of satisfaction that he cares more than I do.

Finally I am entirely non-socialized.
This was a long time coming.
Trixie, my muse, and I high-five each other.
Glad to finally be “us”....

Walked by a man
He put out his fist
I walked by
That was rude
I heard him say
Ah a fist bump
How quaint
These kids
So young
So sure
Think everyone
Is just like them
Fist bumps
High fives
Secret handshakes
Of the young
Those my age
Did it differently
Peace
Free love
Long ago
We were young
Don’t know these sign
Of today...

Five high people in high school,
And high five just makes their mood,
Once they drunk and became highly tight,
And went on the mountain for a high ride,
They just reached on the high top,
And they were going to give a high five,
they missed the high five and 
Fell down from the high top,
All r fell and highly died..

DRINK but CAREFULLY

I don't want a wife, I don't want a girlfriend,
I don't want to live with anyone,
and I do not want children.
What I want is strictly Friends With Benefits fun.
We both passionately love the whole night through,
but afterward there are no 'I Love You's.'
We just high five each other and say, 'All Good Dude!.'
That is what my FWB's and YourKidster do....

choked on chocolate  
chewing syllables to count  
high five or seven to start  

starting with a five
choka- let starts emerging  
seven syllables follow  

done churning choka
sticking strictly to the count  
howmanysyllables helps
 
dopamine  dose  aids
choco choka stimulates
poetrysoup praises perhaps

clouds extend a high five to each other
crowding and swirling
into a gray frenzy
worse than subway pushing

lightning laughs, choosing her tree.
a tall mighty oak, a hundred years old.
In seconds she splits it in half
zapping it with a blast that scares the family inside the house

oozing with power she grins at the clouds
reminding them who is boss...

“Hey guys how are your wives?”
The second friend replies
“My wife is an angel.”
‘I’m sorry that’s awful’
The third rises his hand for a high five
saying, “Lucky, mines still alive.” 



The Original


First guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel!"
Second guy: "You're lucky, mine's still alive. 

Is not my joke. I cannot give credit to anyone. Google it for source....

Memorial Day Mama reminded us of ‘Nam.
Letting us know that things were not done right.
Waving the US flag in lieu of Uncle Sam.
Why did protesters give the vets a horrible home invite?

Memorial Day Mama reminded us of the Gulf War
When veterans were given a home high five and cheer.
When those vets were greeted with hugs and more.
After following orders, our veterans should not have to fear….....
