Short Muddles Poems

Two plus two equals four...unless it doesn’t.
Every young student learns the rules… as taught them.
Higher education muddles it all…with complex theorems....

the fish in the lake
does not want to be catch caught
he won't eat the worm

Splish splash fish muddles
blown bubbles you can't eat me
I won't eat this worm

grey clouds
like shrouds

hover
cover

wind speed
like steed

fright'ning
lightning

thunder
sunder

cryin'
welkin

raindrops
fat plops

muddles
puddles

pit pat
rhythm that

awakes
damp shakes

earth drenched
thirst quenched

God's free
AC

Why did adele want to set fire to lorraine
when the monkees saw her face why were the gonna leave her
why did R.e.m pee in the corner and in the spotlight
and bob dylan ants are his friends and are blowing in the wind
who was the guy jimi hendrix was kissing in a purple haze
and bon jovi doesnt care if were naked or not...

Dawn to dawn now flying fast   
Only the darkest coldest nights
Do I look to every cycle and savor to the last.

When all the ghosts of past are frozen 
Friends and lovers lost and chosen
Recycled, neatly folded into downy blankets molded.   

The thaws instead I dread 
When cruelly cracking melt and mull of ice like spice to rains 
That fades and muddles in my soul the little that remains....

The lump of lead 
Inside my tummy
Affects my head
And makes it funny

It steals my attention
Muddles my thinking
No knowledge retention
My brain is shrinking

This knot in my belly
Is causing me grief
My legs like jelly
Please give me relief

No hunger I feel
No thirst I have
The know of steel
Take all I have

Stop my apprehension
Be gone trepidation
Release my tension
A goodbye frustration...

in the middle it all muddles
like warm milk that is now curdled
once it cuddled all soft and swaddled
no longer a rhyme, no, more a riddle
a heart that somehow becomes raddled
a canoe adrift without the paddles
a bucking horse without a saddle
a losing team that needs a huddle
in the midst a great big puddle
it was always a losing battle
all it does is squeak and rattle
all of this leaving me befuddled...

Drama drills dear
Taste touchy tears


Seize sample such
Mean muddles much


Make mellow mime
Taste tangent times


Trouble trips taste
Worry works waste


Sneaky sour snore
Pricks petty pore


Mist moving mull
Dazzle dance dull


Fickle form flees
Such silly sprees


Big bumper blame
Grips grumpy game


Drama digs drip
Sense stupid slip

I've sought all concept for mitigating puzzles. 

I poured my heart and soul into getting rid of muddles.

We were entwined in the tangled bushes.

When you've gone, nothing to speak about.

And there is no silver lining, but there is a gray doubt.

I was not enticed by the last beats of the falling drums.

What would we do without Cuddles 
They help us to get out of muddles 
When we're feelin' down, they replace a frown 
And they fill us so full of Love Bubbles 

Beethoven, Sparkles and Lulu 
Far greater than anything Tragic 
Eeyore, T-T-Tigger and Pooh 
In Dreams that are filled full of Magic 

Angels are made for believin' 
Even if we've never seen them 
They mind us at night, when we shut our eyes tight 
And they help the Dream Fairies to Weave them...

Freedom is a state I seek
Every moment I lie awake
Another sunray filters in  
Rousing rumors when sleep set in

Over thinking every move I make
Forgetting nothing but what matters
Mindless muddles of troubled thought  
No erasing what's unwittingly taught

Empty cupboards and a life that's hollow 
Morning such a tough pill to swallow
A day with me on the back porch swing
Listening closely to the Tanagers sing 

Another day   just like the last
Time ticking by but not to fast...
