Short Hilly Poems

Slick little Billy Willy
Smirked at Silly Hilly
Thinking they’d have fun
When the school days done
Playing house at Auntie Milly’s...

I've fallen for a gal named Billy,
it seems her name is rather silly,
for the word does not fit
her figure - not one bit...
I think they should have named her Hilly!...

In the heart of colorful autumn, skies were colored, too,
for flaming time was getting older, out in the hilly country.
Springtime's budding charm, lends a certain beauty to old age....

O' coolant water flow brews
Steadfast standing cool
Clear vibrating circling rule
Lowly land hill drools

From the hilly tops
We once were crested 
Stilled and embedded 
We were once nestled 
But a gentle tap
With a gentle slide 
Started the great fall 
Sending all down 
Yes down
With a bemused smile 
Unearthing hidden canines...

Try something really funny
Racing with your honey!

Try something really silly
Backwords over land that's hilly!

Try something really crazy
Go into field that's mazy!

Beats being a couch potato
Might grow at least one tomato!...

I know, love, you'd surely come back,
Though our conflict seems hilly crack;
Does angry moon, her waxing crop?
Do rude roses their blooming stop?
Though your ego your mind withholds,
I can hear your steps cross thresholds.

cold blanket warms
my benumbed
feet.

tired aluminum moon
has long gone
to bed.

drowsy dawn yawns
behind hilly
silhouettes.

languid breeze is a spider's
web touching
my nape.

smiling, I start dreaming
it is, once again,
morning !...

She rode with him to Shebuktoo


she rode up and down the hilly concourse
riding shot gun like on his big white horse
when he shot his gun high in the air
a huge blast of shouts shook the pair
in frenzy she bucked, too, arriving with a force

Let's take a stroll. Mindful
Each hilly step
But leads, ever closer
To a saint's rest.
Cloud pillowed; above
Herd's grassed request.

You, I. That world-detached.
If yet fleshed round.
In Heaven; whilst short of
Breathing our last.
There to stay. Til hunger
Catches up fast!...

Small flowers
red and blue
bloom and shed
everyday bread _
stroking 
fingers on guitar 
moody
music-waves 
unfold wings 
keen on flying 
Life begins 
another morning _
Two treetops 
waving 
in morning 
wind 
two lavish cones
of lily_
hilly scent 
nostrils rejoice
legs restive...

I had a goat whose name was Billy
who grazed in places that were hilly
he never complained
in sunshine or rain
and he even ate all of the lilies

But one day Billy got into the pot
and then he stumbled around like a sot
He ate all my weed
he was greedy indeed
 So now he is stewing with the carrots...

The breeze from the tall pine tree
The cloud between you and me
Blew off and the empty space
Filled with the scent of your face

It was an orange Lily
The moment the breath of joy
Mingled, the sparrow hilly
Brought out the girl and the boy

I was wrapped in autumn's embrace ~ as she shed her withered leaves of lace

her gown was crimson and gold ~ autumn's reverie in meadow and wold*

she travels upon windswept chords ~ in apple orchards and fields of gourds

autumn nights beneath a harvest moon ~ I hear haunting calls of a loon

Far away beauty mountain range running wild;
Rolling grasslands harvesting;
Reaping waters floating tarts;
Cool breeze moisten heart;
While below the countryside;
A dirty boy, someone's child;
Plays run along the green hilly mountainside;

315  Bowery
Cavern dark
Steep stairways
Rebel yell
Graffiti walls,
Landmark underground
Outcast mall.
Cradle of Punk
Sweet rock n roll
Loud lullabies,
Awakening calls.
Talking Heads
Blondie
The Ramones beat,
Historic toilet rooms
Flush no more.
An era gone
Silent sleep
My CBGB days
Hilly Kristal,
You may keep....

About six degrees of silly
Best describes my friend Billy,
Butters both sides of his bread,
Eats ice-cream standing on his head,
Walks backwards when it's hilly.

He embarrasses me all round town
With silly noises and faking frown,
He scares people in the park,
Jumping out of trees when it's dark,
Billy's such a hopeless clown....

the hilly road to the cottage
where you are living
O beauty, look around you
there the autumnal flowers are dancing
for none but the coming love
through the drizzling breeze
lit up the eve light
coming love now on your courtyard
lit up the heart light
coming love now on your door-sill
lit up the your entire……

My girl Ellie came from Philly
She loves chili from the deli
Such a Silly Sally
Saw her dilly-dally
For a million hours
Smelling gillyflowers
Under hilly towers.

My pop Billy Banker
Was a willy wanker
He was really bonkers
With his deely-bobbers
He loved jelly
Marie Corelli
His cat Milly
And!
Watching telly
With a lily
On his belly....

i have a star
up there
'bove the hilly mountains
of my rivery lands
rains came
trudge'd my star
to no avail she budge not
oven-heated sun arose
and made weather-beat'n
my star
o, she faint not the fainting tough
so, i stood
by my star
so confident
both star and self
all day long
as i look upon
heaven at my star
and faint not the fainting tough
like star like self ......

If you're William, then you're Billy.
The one I knew was damned silly
Sick but climbing the hilly
Hard steel, if you sought his Lily
But soon wasting the same Lily;
Orders obeyed willy-nilly...

Do you like to dilly dally?
Still your acts with his must tally:
He wouldn't be facing Nelly
And you watching fancied Nelly
Or he admonishing Kelly
And you lying on your belly!...

BUTTERFLY
Once there was a little butterfly
Once there was a little butterfly
Which flew up to the sky
And descended low
On  a chocolate cream pie
Away little butterfly
And away she goes
Over the hilly valleys
As the summer wind blows
To a place that is far
And nobody knows
Flapping her bright wings
With purple and blue rings
And disappears again
Like a mid summer dream...

Enemies in home and abroad
What a hilly and zigzag road!

Conspiracy is in so many brains
My losses are many and so few gains!

Their hate, malice and envy
Engulf my life I can see!

Nobody loves me and shows sympathy
Though I am innocent as I should be!

My love, care and my vision
Will make fruitful my mission!

I won’t give in cause my God is with me
He gives me hope and lot of energy!...
