Short In Any Case Poems

Perhaps you know how
And maybe you don't mind telling
In any case, I really
Need this pain of heart and soul to end....

In any case, it does not work for me,
To spend a money wisely, with mind.
I can explain what I exactly mean:-
Or shortage mind, or lack of money....

I stuff
my pillow
into a case
fluff
it
place it
at the head
of a bed
put my head
on it
and play dead
on it 
my bed
surrounded 
by my stuff
in any case...

In any case, I am custom to say
My any and every try is
Possible every time. But 
On this occasion I must
Say, I can’t see how I am to 
Stay. It won’t and can’t work.
It is not to 
Be. I must not
Lie. This time is nor like
Every other time. It’s impossible....

'Freedom Fighters'

The mordacious horde had spent the last cartridge

to loiter or elicit partisan justice the mob dithered

then they shackled their foes to be wizened in time

Families died in any case regardless of a trivial trifle

Be careful on the road, don’t rush in speed!
In any case, the speed limit, you shouldn't exceed
With caution, at every bend, you proceed
To all traffic rules and guidelines, pay heed.
Know well to what misery, reckless driving can lead
Let your conscience never reproach you on a rash deed.

One can write limericks on a dime
All you need is some rhythm and rhyme
A quick li'l jest
Now that's the best
Just make sure your joke arrives on time!

(preferably not passed the fifth line)



NOTE: I was gonna post this for the Limerick Contest, but I wrote it a day too late ... in any case it was fun nonetheless :)...

My nephew scratched his ticket 
For the lottery, to find
He’d won a rather hefty sum;
It really blew his mind.

Which made me think, does everyone
Who plays expect this news?
If so, perhaps to win at last
Means one has paid his dues.

In any case, I hope this windfall
Helps some plans to hatch
And doesn’t cause an outcome
That is not quite up to scratch....

FOR JAN, MY SUPPORTIVE FRIEND :) 

I have one silly friend on Manhattan
Or is it Mad Hatter or Isle of Man?
I keep forgetting
But she won't letting
Or is it let me, in any case, I am her man.

This was a good-for-nothing limerick
But I have an excuse: I am sick!

With an enormous wink

whoever helps me 
                               no need to mention their names
                                     owe and bow to them 

                                         if in any case 
                               though they misunderstand me 
                                        i do never mind

Mmmm, I feel so snug within the earth.
My round and hard shell covers.
The sun and water will help my growth.
For the air, I’ll soon discover.
I can not wait to grow a bit
To venture out upon my own
Then some people can come and see
The seeds that they have sewn.
What will I be? I know not now.
In any case, I know I’ll grow.
I will be so proud and strong
And be the best, to be, I know....

From the corner of my eyes
memories run down my face.
Some are sad, some are not
but tears still fall in any case.

Another day, another week
then months become a year
You've been gone for so long
but those memories I hold dear.

They're all I have now that you've gone.
I pull them out and hold them tight.
And when I do, I always know
you're right beside me, just out of sight

The Justices are back to nine
According to the planned design.
It should have happened months before
But those in power slammed that door.

So now we’ll have to wait and see
For there is just no guarantee
When hearing from the nine Supremes
That what is real is what it seems.

Things may turn out as we believed
Or maybe we will be relieved.
In any case, the deal is done;
A brand-new era has begun....

 As stated in the heart of the Warriors creed, Warriors are not the ones who always win, they are the ones who always fight.
They are the ones that eradicate sin and shatter the darkness with their eternal ethereal  glowing light.
When seeing injustice, they turn not the blind eye by permitting it to continue in silence.
Diplomacy, concern, consideration and love takes precedence in any case of unnecessary violence. ...

Some people call me Prof
But with laughter round it off,
Some garnish it with cough;
Their loyal but amused hats doff;
Better than to at me scoff…

The most shy cease to be coy,
The heart cruel games would buoy
Shyness in any case some ploy
By he who could with another toy:
By some Ray about to cajole a Roy;
My Prof Nickname, a delicious noise
By a false eulogizing voice
That soon connects a sneeze
Men flee from with “Gees?”...

Shyness! 
I professed to be pardoning. 
I was advancing in seeing an astute man. 
There may, in any case, be different perplexing concerns. 
What else? the heaviness of the breeze all over my face.
Furthermore, the inertia leaves mud scars. 
Moreover, my heart is blurred. 
Is your conduct alike mine? 
Bow her head, she said. 
I believe you're insane. 
Love your warmness.

Granitic testaments
sprout unstoppable
over the hill.

I know by heart
the graveyard.

Next to the wall
first maple on the left
past the bell tower,.
our stone stands,
room for one more.

Will my final twinkling
come quick, unexpectedly,
or slowly dressed in gray breaths
as mourning doves nest
in the eaves?

In any case, don’t feel obligated to
visit my engraved memory
under which I’m really not.
If you do, when you go
leave the gate firmly latched....

I am not a slave or stupid,
Being smart and shrewd,
Just in front of you,
Become so crazy and teenage rude…

Running away – doesn’t save,
If only showing one’s true self; but again
Under the mask of indifference,
I still pretend playing the game..

And as if accidentally throwing - hey…
Still wonder if there is an end to this unvalued
Cat-and-mouse game?

Fell in love wit him? - ei, in any case, 
But all the cosmic space is sleeping in his gaze....

My husband had his tooth pulled;
It was number 17.
With pain involved, extracting it 
Was easily foreseen.

Our grandson pointed out he missed
By just a single date,
Tooth Fairy Day (the 28th),
But it’s up for debate…

If he would rate a visit 
Since our granddaughter was sure 
The fairy comes for baby teeth;
The rest have no allure.

In any case, the tooth is out;
The pain will not persist
And we found out tooth 17
Won’t even be much missed.

The phantom of the opera was sincere, 
but, with him, I wouldn't want to share a beer. 
Not only that, but furthermore, in any case, 
have you ever happened to see his face?

A spectral figure, clothed in red,
he had no face upon his head. 
High o'er Paris on an opera house roof,
she described that phantom goof - 

here is what our pretty Christine said 
about our hero whom she had misled,
"he's a monster, a loathsome beast",
an understatement, to say the least....

Unchosen paths,
yet for us to follow,
give us hope
to change our course of sorrow.

Fear of death,
or fear of living,
Either, or
Neither, nor
In any case, unforgiving.

Our Broken Dreams,
Our trail of friends,
Our forgotten fathers,
shape our pain.

But, future twists
and childrens' laughter,
no doubt,
like water,
will lift us once again.

Smile Jenny, Smile.
You know, you have that way
of touching someone,
at any time of any day,
and never knowing it all the while....
