Short Nero Poems

So desperate for attention
He foments vote-count dissension

   Every day a new twist or turn
   Nero fiddles, while Rome burns...

Nero fiddled, Rome burned
Washington quibbled, Americans learned
   to buy a gun to defend their homes
   and a great big hose for fires that roam...

There once was a super bowl hero.
Who knew that he fiddled like Nero.
    But Rome didn't burn.
    His team did by durn.
All the way to the playoffs ate crow.

It doesn't matter how hard you try,
to play the role of a hero.
Signs point to Rome, and fate is Nero.

When I post a poem
And people comment review
Include the word clever
My heart skips a beat
No longer I retreat
Into my shell
Aside failure dwell
For on paper
I am Nero
The gallant chivalrousness hero
Not a meaningless Zero...

delicatti wiggles mente
come una coda
fumo bianco nel nero
colline in lontananza
si transforma in nuvole 
grigie
blus si fonde ad arancione
piccoli punti de vita
siamo nella vasta
galassia
d'amore
soffia come un vento...

Poems Quantified Horn Limerick

Could be all my poems were quantified
From each outside along with the inside
And after read by a nymph and Nero
Turns out that the total was zero
About writing many poems I had lied.

l'urlo de stelle
eco nella valle
nero
come la prima
sfumatura di rosso
abbracciato
il cielo notturno
sussurro della
brezza blu
solleticare
la sabbia bianca
foaming lusty waves
onde spumeggianti
poi
rejaculated
nel grembo de mare
dove sei ora...

moonwalkin girl ploy
baby put on these bills
and shake your tree

Two people so different
can view the poor
through different lenses

and offer a solution
but not the same solution
while America decides.

One is Robin Hood
who would take from some
and give to others.

The other is Nero
who would let more crumbs
fall from his table.

'Tis said that Nero was just fiddling around,

     While the city of Roma was burning to the ground!

          'Tis further reported that he composed for our delight,

               "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight!"

'Tis rumored that Nero was just fiddlin' aroun'

While Rome was ablaze consumin' the town!

Tho' the name of the tune he played ain't recorded in history,

And I reckon will ever remain a mystery,

May I propose for posterity and on this matter shed some light,

I suspect he played "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight!"...

In the PixiS climb to Hydra
Lynx is next just past the Lion
Take a dip into Ursas Major
Come and ride the Leos Minor
It’s a Primer she said…
Reading wheels inside your head
Stacking stones into pyramids
Merry goes round the ecliptic
Latitudes of a Long time cryptic
Marching two and fro…
Is it Zero or is it Nero
Inquiring our minds to know...

for all the policies that we enact
some are waging war today
and nothing anyone might say
will change the fact

in spite of our ingenious brains
who analyze and agonize
for all the tears a child cries-
the fact remains

may death be swift if die we must!
and to your health I raise a glass
and fiddle though it comes to pass-
we all turn to dust....

"I bet it bothers you that at my weakest,  
I am still stronger than you."   

                                                                     
This quote is widely spread
may have been said first by Nero.
Winded by narcissism,
this squall might rank - EF-0
Weakened by arrogance, it does no damage
compare it to the Spanish dinero.

Poison was always the silent killer. 
Kings and emperors fell prey to it easily.
The favorite poisoner of the Roman Emperor Nero, 
this woman ended many lives with her deadly poisons.
FUKIING BIITCH,this woman’s story is a true deadly drama. 
Widely considered as one of the earliest documented serial killers, 
She was certainly a deadly dame.

When the acorns are vast
Winters throws are Multindous
A particular Cafe Nero to go
where I meet Anne for the first time
and she remembers the 70s 
like everybody's yang and yin would like to 

Good tidings to know her
Still Im playing with breezes I don't know
Single with no children
a Tory stalwart
Just a brother in Eastbourne
I am the laughing man
carrying fate on his shoulders...

With a rescue package that won’t pick up
Being steadily hit by a hiccup  
And prices jacking up
Should we still treat him like a hero 
Who has scored a shameful zero?

Still him obediently follow
And this taking to tomorrow?
Ourselves consoling with laughs hollow 
And him sparing a ripe bellow?
Or isn’t the disappointing Hero 
Some sort of Caesar Nero 

A name penned with common biro?...

Leanne sniffed a sunflower 
A bee stung her on her nose
It gave her a special power
Her arm turned into a hose 
She gave everyone a shower
Now, at home a river flows 
It could fill a water tower 
And clean old men's dirty toes  
Leanne became a hero 
Gave water to café Nero 
And she even charged zero 
Leanne's power went away 
So then all she did was lay 
Taking up the whole of the day...
