Short Kyser Poems

When speaking of words 
     Jeff Kyser's no miser
   More like a soaring bird
     perched atop a surging geyser

   His wit unrivaled, nonpareil
     sophisticated and slick
   Fear not a Caesar-like burial
     ~ Our Kyser's too quick...

I'm your recall demon and alas, I am back
This Halloween be wary when you hit the sack
For that night while you're dreaming
I'll have you wake up screaming
But for five bowls of Snickers, I might not attack!

"Kaiser Jeff"


i grew up

(well...........
one hopefully 
never grows up)

on hooked 
on phonics 

and being 
dyslexic 

to too


so it seems to me
that Kyser may
come from
German

descent


i don't know
but i know
he writes
decent

poetry...

Brambles surround Scotty's bagpipes
  Briars sharp, of severest types
    He thought that he could
    Play tunes in a wood
  Instead of music ~ out came gripes



      A tip of the hat to Jeff Kyser,
      whose poem 'Penny Whistle'
      inspired this Limerick. :) gw...

in sweet harmony
birds trill joyous on trees tops
their songs drown the land
        as the wind on flowers kiss,
        I long for a pair of wings

Trump owns our judicial system
Appeals?  Trump just can't resist 'em!
Although he is boss
Each case is a loss
No matter how lawyers twist 'em!

added by Jeff Kyser:

A suggestion that I find a hoot 
SCOTUS owned by the bad orange brute
Chief Roberts is deft 
At swinging things left 
To the annoyance of the galoot....

Ere Kyser
was Kaiser
or Söze
the records
a german
germaine
an immigrant
they granted him
a pass
some eight generations past
first, depressing
later, repressing
regressing
turning generational curse to blessing
and now messing
and fiddling
with rhyming and riddling
for an extended verbal stint
roger that
with another Jeff
and all the 
usual suspects...

~ To the Melody of 'Yankee Doodle' ~


   My friend Jeffrey Kyser's on a roll
     His poetry will fill your soul
   Let reading him be your main goal
     Just lie down on a grassy knoll...

      Jeffrey Kyser, he's the best
      All his poems pass the test
      When you feel a tad depressed
        ~ Kyser rolls I do suggest

Whelming Autumn

   Me whelmed! Watched butterflies to fly
    fluttering wings! Frolic and free.
     Blossoms swinging petals in glee.
     Sunny day! Cerulean sky.
     Outdoor romance: Lovers may try.
     Me whelmed.

   Auburn Autumn shining in spree.
  Chirping sterlings-sparrows : Swift, spry.
   With glass blades dawn-dews making tie.
    Cheerful children making merry.
   Me whelmed.

They do not hear the silent screams,
or see the dead eyes vacant stare;
It happens far away, elsewhere.
Just victims of corrupt regimes
or new planetary extremes,
self-evident, you think. I swear
they do not hear.

To me, a simple chap, it seems;
some listen to the party scare,
reality of truth foreswear,
to not upset their own sweet dreams;
they do not hear.

there is a fellow named saul
who loves to play basketball
can run shoot and pass
always scores so fast
and only stands three foot tall

saul lives in the tallest tree
high as a person can be
not afraid of height
sees the stars at night
a life so happy and free

saul loves a fancy lassie
beautiful long and classy
no matter to them
she stands six foot ten
they see eye to eye you see

In the garden bed falls moondust.
Rose lust - tall and fluorescent.
Lullaby scent, rapt and florid.
Deep scent - torrid, quiescent.

Choices soul makes in God's domain,
manifests here as divine will,
that we love and learn, acquire skill
to be joyful in sun and rain,
for in this dream, why'd we complain
when there are no desires to kill,
choices soul makes?

Ephemeral is loss and gain.
All’s enabled if we be still,
for easy then’s ascent uphill.
Ego cravings no longer chain,
choices soul makes.
