Short Mimicked Poems

Icarus mimicked;
epidermis cremated;
sympathy withheld....

once a sheep dog named percy

licked a farmer quite slurply

then a homeless cow

with mimicked bowwow

licked them both without mercy....

Thoughtlessness 
of an fanciful mind
camouflaged to a layman's eye

a vision with an 
uptopian trance
mimicked by 
the madcap laughs

Shine on, 
Crazy Diamond...

The monkey was staring at me
Oh, excuse me, sir was I staring
    (I guess I was)

He bared his teeth and laughed
I mimicked him, laughing too

Can animals understand what we say
Do they respond to some of our wordplay
Is it just instinct
Or a wish for kinship
A pattern mimicked which they display...

“…let it snow…let it snow..”

	the snow blanketed 
	the earth’s floor—
	burden tree branches
	mimicked bent black backs
	of slaves—
	in the distance
	a red tail hawk 
	echoed:
	we stoked the fire
	and made love...

Money, money, money, the bane of our existence
First, you see it, then you don't, only exists by persistence
Perhaps a figment
Constantly mimicked
Not really real, too quick to be real, I need assistance...

Mimetic mimicry mimicked the mime.
More than furlong, the entire belonging day long.
Prophet, the proper property, pope prophecy.
Hardhearted harshness tied a fair harness.
Shepherd herding sheep, harder in a herder way....

A sailor who loved costume parties
would shout out a wild, “Aye, me hearties!”
This old buccaneer,
role playing with cheer,
got mimicked by all the young smarties.

I miss it
the warm, soft, moist dough,
making frosting clothes, and red hot buttons.
Mimicked "catch me if you can" 
biting off the legs first, now it can't run.
Always saving the head for last to
see it's doom come towards it.
And lastly after it comes milk!...

Ghastly halls that lead to Euphoria
Shattered glasses with reflections that mimicked her death
Being hanged but not dead
Sorrowful laughter and slit wrists
Decayed internally but still breathing 
Candy coated poison to seize her thoughts 
And death, to ease her pain....

She held illuminations in her eyes.

Mimicked the earth with her skin.

No wonder flowers grew from within.

Adrift in her aura.

Marooned.

Interstellar swoon.

Rendered lunar love language.

Though words could never define.

What was already written in time....

The whole nation
is doing a new dance craze,
you just have to stand up,
wiggle and scratch,
and do a whole lot of shaking…
thanks to a teen named Patti,
who was listening to music
at a picnic,
accidentally sitting in
a fire ant hill,
and got them in her britches,
the whole gang saw her,
stood up, and quickly mimicked!...

He stands at the edge
Peering through the fence
The silence of solitude roars in his mind
Deep lines on his brow cruelly mimicked in steel
Black shadows lie on the parched sun soaked dust even as they lie across his soul
What evils must a man commit to protect his own
Somewhere the war rages on without him

How cunning and sly,
This ingenious guy,
Deceitful and shrewd,
The way he wooed,
Appeared to be prey,
Mimicked the day,
With waves of vibration he was able to stay,
Hunting your own kind,
Would be labeled a crime,
But not in the realm of corrupted times,
Instinctive behavior to ruin the race,
This time he stepped into the wrong webs place.

Contentment


Being content is a state of mind

Thanking God above for being so kind


Knowing that we’ve been given all things to richly enjoy

Our gratitude should be mimicked by every girl and boy

We’re thankful for our blessings

When we go down on bended knees

When we willingly give to others

That’s when we know that we’ve truly received

Girl we went fragmentation because
Our thoughts couldn't garner more than
Bits as pieces; but, it never was, a fantasy ?
No Hollywood scripts nor Broadway plays these days....
Albeit Jekyll and Hyde could have mimicked my life: born upon
This wrong side of time ? Reaching into it's hat, with these empty hands
Eight years old again; racing down her ramp ? Are you alright ? Blood, dripping from my lips....

Along the old and winding path
Unwatched, unheard, unseen
A bird flew swiftly by
A robin red and soft
It sang a mournful song
That trilled and trailed
A tangled melody
The sun shone darkly
Through storm clad boughs
As spring spun gales rushed by
A heighted sensation
Soon mimicked in the small birds aria
Fell quickly cross the path,
That old and winding path
Where trees huddle closely
And whispers become lost
And life continues quietly
Unwatched, unheard, untouched...

Harp and flute

Fingers bled of love by the strings of the harp,
Eyes filled with tears, mingled in the drops of blood,
As the flute elated sucked and kissed the slaughtered,
Love and hate, tears and blood, such are the broken hearts.

A song of love and sadness poignantly dejected,
The harp so majestically and queenly on it mimicked,
The flute so princely and so kingly on it emoted,
So eternally, beautifully and so perpetually, such achingly is how it hurts....

What the Mona Lisa sees
The artist laid before her
His breath lingers in the air
Staring back and trying to pay honour to her beauty
Paint merges with turpintine to perfume the room
There in his eyes she see it the reflection
that started his fire
Where her perfect lines are mimicked but never are equalled
Then trapped within its confines
Watching art and artist die
Dust becomes her makeup
And tears become her praise
The enigmatic beauty with the enigmatic gaze...

Snow white crystallic beauty sparkling 

the light shines like a diamond pricless

For you are not to be mimicked

Unique beauty this I admire truly

Lightly prancing you leave my soul dancing 

Shining spinning in this winters light

Fall on me snow ever softly and light

Winter morning I delight

Capture your beauty  for this moment daunting

ever so haunting your memory captured 

Whirling in wintry rapture

Romancing my soul soft crystallic snow......

Patience with a Purpose

swans stood motionless
imitating spray painted flamingos
geese in the distance
mimicked a talk show panel
turtles sunbathed “sans sun block”
carp slithered in shallow mud
pickerel, unable to hide their toothy grins,
slyly awaited passersby
old bull frogs “harrumphed”
exchanging their glory days 
a stick figure Heron posed
patience… with a purpose
                                     ...……..a kayak respectfully floating past
