Short Jeannie Poems

Barbara Eden
She played Jeannie way back when
And if major Nelson got out of line
She'd turn him into a porcupine...

How can you say 
every life should be saved
when you have no concern for the living, 
for the hungry and poor 
you have saved that life for 
yet find yourself so unforgiving?

Major Nelson was Jeannie's dreamy man
"Yes, Master," - his wishes, part of her plan
If by blinking eyes
Gals could fix their guys
Then this gal is a Jeannie superfan!

Here we lay entwined to sleep 
never more our souls to weep
and if the angels come for you
I'll beg the lord to take me too

For I believe He knows, as you
life without you just won't do
so let us end as we started our life 
together forever as husband and wife

                         -Jeannie Minor...

White

I am pale, head to toe
and if dying be a fading,
I begin my descent,
from easy pink to opal.

Pearlescent blood barely
floating now through veins
supplied by a heart not
eager for activity.
 
About to sleep, I hear my child
call from far away or deep inside.
Color resumes and I am
wearing ruby slippers.

Invitation

F-riends or enemies do come along too 
R-ise with me higher than yesterday.

E-asily seen here acknowledged by a wave
E-asily noticed there by a nod of the head.

D-esire actions that ring just and fair
O-nly free for the doing.

M-emories for all.

The Cobweb

I came upon a web one day
which carelessly I swept away.

I thought I had at any rate
not knowing all it did was wait.

Then a creature came a creeping
setting me to eyes a weeping.

How dare you not remember me?
You thought that you had set me free. 

I’m ever here, your own true grief.
Hovering always, the brackened thief.

Faceless reflection once fair as a flower 
is all the eye can see
now ghostly hollow
we choked then swallowed 
the darkness we can be 

Daunted we are driven still
to find a defining face
forming familiarity’s found 
to follow humanity’s trace

Through glassy eyes of tears like rain
our character lines have faded
Let our colors emerge
from our darkest hour 
Let us not stay shaded!

February 12, again 

Must you, must you,
hotter than fire,
seek your prey.

Sun do not dare arise
nor collect your praise
for stardom.

You hid you curative warmth,
shrouded her instead
in ironic cimmerian way.

Turned to torrent,
you were but the eye
a momentary flash,

as she limply lay
Please rain today.
Please rain today.

Halloween’s Drummed!

Alien vampires hunt around the block,
Seeking abduction, plus feasting on prey
No trickery  with haunt,  just a soft shock.
Serious tracking to Vampires it’s play.
Delicately preparing this blood day
Striking their juglar rewarded a whiff
Cautionary. silent.. draining til stiff.
Slightly paralyzed delicately numbed
Halloween vampires come for a short jiff
Diabolical? Some say its quite drummed!

My dear sweet Jeannie,
don't be a meanie!
No holds barred, 
Here they are:

I might aspire at first to what Solomon had,
wise enough to ask, forever grateful and glad.

Then my caprice might turn towards great wealth,
but in lieu of the gold, I surely settle for health.

And last, I would hope to find more than one friend,
who would be there throughout and there at the end.

Grant me these, Jeannie, then  thank you, depart.
Forget all the rest for with these three I"ll start....
