Short Imperiously Poems

Never thought I'd get a poet mob,
since I got the best of poetry nod,
life imperiously,
but seriously,
I think I'd better just keep my day job.

1.  take myself less seriously
2.  act humble, not imperiously
3.  dispense good will like candy
4.  no more beer or wine or brandy
5.  drop the grudge—enjoy the fudge!

A downy mildew.
I will undress
the leaves.

Leaving the truth 
at your door,
trespassing the moon.

When a house 
was felled, why were 
you collecting the blueberries ?

Now, a brown poem 
will write your name 
on the guillotine.

An ocean apart 
a voice booms 
a shame for an empire.

Humility is a virtue,
I wish it were a statue,
So I would take a closer look,
And perhaps find a hook,
To attach my neck,
Or better still my leg,
That from it I would never stray
Underneath would I stay,
My heart would find rest
And my pride a nest.
Eventually it would hatch;
Into nothing closer a match,
To my imperiously naughty,
Remarkably haughty,
Attitude towards society....

Age
The face I see 
In the morning mirror 
Is of my father 
I imperiously ignore him 
And shave a smooth face 
Half my age. 
Nature is kind to us old 
We are unable to see how aged we are.
As the outside doesn´t look
Like the inside. 
But if you tell me I look forty five 
You are patronizing me.
And I will think you are anti-old
But being wise I will not say so 
Just disinherit you...punk....
