Short Misbehaves Poems

Gravitational Waves
occurred every time Einstein misbehaves
but with Stephen Hawking
they also felt there was simply too much talking....

A perfectly predictable purplish tabby cat misbehaves
Dancing across magnificent magpies excavated graves
Squirming yellow shining housefly larvae she enslaves
Swimming  through thick sticky b-positive tidal waves
A polka dotted butterfly with stiletto and cream shaves...

I run on a super busy beach,   
high up the summer Sun misbehaves;
By and by pause to build sand castles,
nearby is ice cream but I smell waves;

Carefree I just play through every hour,
Aye!! Seaweed stuck all over my skin;
Fatefully fall asleep with a pail;
Sea daze leaves a blistered burn again....

Helicopters hover;
Boats bounce on the waves.
Seagulls swoop and pigeons strut;
A toddler misbehaves.

Tourists take their selfies;
Cars in traffic crawl.
New construction blocks the sky 
With buildings thin and tall.

Water laps the pilings;
Clouds conceal the sun.
Another session waiting
For the ferry has begun....

Dripping with the salt of the waves 
I lie back on the beach and inhale; 
The energy of the night misbehaves; 
Crystals shine in the moonlight 
illuminating the path the sand paves;
Rules collapse with a rhythmic crash;
Etiquette that the ocean waives
with the tingling of a bonfire veil;
Wild ardor the full moon craves....

An ill wind blows this hurricane Sandy ashore,
Making everyone wonder just what is in store.
The full moon will amplify the already large waves,
And Mother Nature in her glory will misbehave.

In a mega storm people will come together,
Knowing God is in control, including the weather.
It is a reminder that life is like a grain of sand.
And for our eternity, we have to plan....

My mind’s where fairy tales reside,
where a mote and castle collide;
A prince on a porcelain steed,
running away with him I’m freed;

Maybe a kingdom made of waves,
it’s wily princess misbehaves;
Locked inside it’s turbulent walls,
‘Anywhere but here!’ her soul calls;

When the darkness closes my eyes
I open them to salmon skies;
Blackbirds and vibrant wildflowers,
reality my daydream scours;

He and I doubled with laughter,
soak in romance ever after....

     If Pearl misbehaves
     throws fits, rants and raves
     What of the parents who raise her

     If Johnny can’t read
     or do simple math
     What of his teachers who instruct him

     If Darryl kills a man at age 14
     After robbing him blind
     What of the system which releases him too soon

     Where’s there no supervision or accountability, little teaching, less review
     the quality products turned out number between zero and a few
