Short Ola Poems

Loneliness is a neccessary stimulant 
for the right mind 
at the right time.

A black cat didn't exactly frighten Gavin 
He initially jumped kinda lightly, Mom
Now, Ola Parsons quickly responds, saying
The ugly varmint wanted xeroxed yellow Zinnias...

Scars For Haiti

The tears of my tears splatter into flames
My eyes starve from fidgeting forces falling
floors
Though, they say life occurs in cycles
Mr. Matthew came and it was not even for a
miss
The grounds left to wail for the lost bliss.

Tunes in meter five
are sung jazz, not jive.
Dave, in fifty-nine
made this rhythm shine;
with drums, bass, and sax
laid this winning wax
he, on piano
na nana, nana.
Funky Latin beat 
having such conceit.
writ by Desmond, Paul;
played by one and all.
Lyrics by Lola;
ola payola!
It’s alright, take five,
I’m alive take five.
Now a classic tune
flies you to the moon;
tune in meter five
truly did survive....

on each sorrowful souls

gorged on all sides

by constant burdens

he was meant to stumble

bewailing his flustered solace

with his bending wills

he was meant to fumble

with the clouds

dropping its curtains

he was meant to fail...
