Short Milo Poems

Venus de Milo sought high and low 
for her arms akimbo.  Long ago 
I offered to look too 
for those two lost ampu- 
tated limbs, but naught said that bimbo....

I have two feet
Sometimes I need two more, to stand this hit
Perhaps to walk this miles
Sipping from the cup with sweet milo.
Don't worry we'll play cat and mice
Until I eat you alive
Then I can stand on my two feet again....

No matter what comes to be
No matter how many I love
You'll always hold that place.
My first love, my first passion,
My first dream come true.
Yet even now that we've moved on
Know you will always be my first 
I love You!

Cigarettes and milo
A sweet art work combined
Milky and soft
loving and willing united
Is it lasting like a packet of frizzies
Dancing under the stars in between cards
Laughter echoing 
Laughter that was lost

So now i look at frizzies and milo
Hoping laughter echo in the stars forevermore...

My eyes of discern
admire you
as you are Venus de Milo...
my inner eyes
adore you oh,
sculpture of
rare beauty...!
my heart
from within
its secret vault,
magnificent love
offers you...
My soul
promise to love you
forever...
until one day
God join us:
one body,
one soul together
forever...!....

Mugsy and Milo

Meet Mugsy, the pug with mostly tan hair
and Milo, a Chin. With nary a care,
they each chew a bone. They seem a sweet pair.
Cousins are they, and a fun life they share.
To break those two up, you better not dare!

Set in stone
I might be
As jewel
Her, Aphrodite

Eyes, but who 
Inward stare
Upon pure nude
Venus de Milo

Cold cold marbel
Questionable masterpiece 
Or warm warm rains
Crying towards Greece

However shall beauty
Reach out to thee
To worlds passed
Time has never pleased

But, by any other name
I am woman; figurine
Upon others pedestals
I am thee...

You're a cup of Milo on a cold winters day. 
The bacon and eggs on a warm breakfast tray. 
You're a budding rose in a dying field. 
Your not the dagger, but the durable shield. 
You're the rainfall in the middle of a drought. 
You're the certainty in a world filled with doubt. 
You're that shiny polish put on an old worn shoe. 
In fact, you're all the reasons I'm in love with you....

I adopted a cat around Thanksgiving
He was the sweetest thing in the beginning
To my surprise
He’s in disguise 
With The Joker kitty I am now living  

This balmy yuletide season Milo despised
My silver tinseled Christmas tree he demised
Never expressing gratitude
A clawing catty attitude                                                  
Yet a contented kitty I have surmised

The newest addition to my family
My bro-in-law christened him Milo
Another named him Jimmy
He’s more like a Chuckie
to me—driving me loco
The greenest eyes
He’s pretty lucky
He loves pink salmon 
and playing catch
with crumpled paper I toss,
the unwanted poems I scratch
Biggie (aka) needs weight loss
I tumbled as I stepped over him,
A simple little thing
By eliminating gravy ‘til he gets slim
Pet adopting
It’s what the New Year will bring

There are those who think with their head
From the time they’re born until dead.
For them, things always seem logical.
Sometimes profound, but never magical.
Then there are those who think with their heart,
And they live in a world quite apart.
They wear their hearts on their sleeves low
And end up like Venus de Milo.
Most people straddle the fence 
In order to ensure life makes sense.
They spend their precarious days
Avoiding heads and hearts from both ways.

Clocked Out 
From the words I write to the ones I speak 
I've meant every word even ones leaked 
And now I know it's time for my last few 
Thank you to all who loved my words and view 
And to my Lord for a beautiful gift, 
But roads change and it's my life's time to shift! 
I've grown cold to so many and it's time
 For me to drop my pen and my soft rhymes.
 Will I ever write again I'm sure there's no doubt 
Though a poet no more, for it's time to... Clock out.

No hands to show her modesty, in marble she was bold

Underneath the stones where she was found, ... opposed to wearing clothes

Discovered, cold, in Grecian dust, she disclosed her naked charms
 
Exposed, she poses quite composed, but still without her arms !
