Short Josephine Poems

Napoleon Bonaparte.
Smaller than a popcorn fart.
Not man enough for Josephine.
You know exactly what I mean....

Happy birthday, dear Josephine, 
Everyone wants to soar up high; 
Nobody wants to lose but win 
The race of life beneath the sky.

Happy birthday, dear Josephine, 
The traveler hires the driver; 
Riding in a black limousine 
Brings much thrill to the passenger.

Has come neath the warmth of the sun; 
Causing moment of million mirth

Near a silent riverbank
where lilies scent the air
under a blackened willow tree
sweet Josephine rests there
kept in eternal slumber
her rotting bones left bare
I'm left longing to hold her close
my heart in disrepair

Edgar Allan Poe
Died in 1849, you know.
We heard his telltale heart beneath the floor;
Then quoth the raven: nevermore!

Napoleon Bonaparte,
His marriage to Josephine got blown apart.
Her barrenness: his Rubicon;
His name, he thought, should live ever on.

Best
Friends now
Standing by me
What could I ever ask of them besides,
To be my diaries, and my saviors
From the trouble
happ'ning 
now

For you Josephine and Reem :)...

My emotions are explosive.
My pretenses are relegated
to the depths.
I cannot my feelings
anymore conceal.
Let me come in and
share your heavenlies
and tumults with you.
Tomorrow never comes.
Let me this day your
swift response hear.
Or else in suspense
I'll live and die
countless before the
much awaited moment....

Amor Mio respect the ethos of my heart 
honor the flowers that I grow in full bloom 
Like violets from Napoleon Bonaparte    
I'm your Josephine, go tender to exhume 

Amor Mio taste and be heart of my heart 
let the dew drops fall afresh on April blooms 
See the purple petals turn to deep-dish swart
violaceous hues of me you just can't thwart!

Joyful spirit, bright and bold,
Outstanding tales yet to unfold,
Sunlight's warmth, a story told.
Elegant grace, a gentle sway,
Poetry's dance in bright display,
Harmony's song to light the way.
Inner strength, a radiant gleam,
Nurturing dreams, a flowing stream,
Eternal hope, a vibrant theme.

Maria Josephine is our seventeenth nanny
They cannot take it
They can’t!
Junior has colic
He cries and he rants

He is a horrid little creature
Except when he is asleep
But that is fitful
His sleep is never lengthy or deep

She will leave us too,
They rarely stay later than a day
In the mean time I will get a bit of rest
For I am the mama who dares not run away....

What's left but a cripple?
Angry and Sarcastic,
Weathered lips
Bitten bloody 
In the cold
January Fix.
Entered in a 
Plummeting
Dirtied Drunk Mix.
Tasting;
Leaves,
Wheat and sheaves,
Daughters of Eves,
Feasts for Kings,
And other things.
Wetted tongues on
Driftless streets.
Heated talk with
Patterned
Beats.
When what 
Appears to lifeless
Is suddenly up for sale....

J-ust endure the assault
O-f the brutal bacteria; 
S-top the threat of epidemic
E-eriness from Wuhan, China.
P-eople endure the assault, 
H-umans beat the viral trends; 
I-nvisible infection evaporates, 
N-otorious nastiness
E-nds.

L-ethal link in pandemic
I-s having the danger to halt; 
S-tay strong and be healthy
T-o endure the
A-ssault.
