Short On The Nose Poems

New Pup

We have her now

Darling, cute and funny

Uh-oh. Look who is not happy

Cat hissed furiously at both of us

Swatted new puppy on the nose

But puppy keeps playing

Does not see cat

Run Pup!...

If flowers could speak,
I would put my words
in the mouth of roses,
so they whisper to your ears
"I love you".

If...
I would put my whole,
in lavender nosegays
so they can kiss you on the nose
and tell you how much I care.

Beauty guarded by a thorn
Pluck it and you risk your finger torn
If on looks you take a chance
You may lead a painful dance
The bloom may be a quiet rose
But still it lingers on the nose
Beauty guarded by a thorn
Pluck it and risk your finger torn..

A gentle hand cup those little eyes
And implant a touch with tender care
On the nose, below the dreamy lashes
And the words of truth were heard by ears.

Feeling an unreal magic around
A smile so innocent got set on face
And knew it would last for as long
As on eyes the eyelids stay…...

With 
 summer
  breeze gently 
 blowing, its blue 
  wings flutter, as it dances in the air
 trying to find the perfect landing spot
 the cat never
 knew it would 
 be its 
 nose!

I felt like I had to cower,
like I was some sort of dog.
Tail between my legs
couldn't see through your fog.

Was hit on the nose,
had to back away.
Wanted to be near,
didn't want me to stay.

I tried to be loyal,
wouldn't leave your side.
Your cruelty toward me,
I can no longer hide....

I had to flicker like a bengal light,
to feel as jolly and as cold 
first snowflake setting on the nose
to melt...

Once stars have vanished from our sights,
what mattered was not quality of clouds,
but weight of doubts 
has kept us safe enslaved
and promptly
                  burning out....

morality sits on the nose 
of this bitter young man
an option of intrigue 
is there for the taking
that call, that lure
from a feral hunter
to a wounded prey 
soliciting capture
as I reach for the ignoble
the knees, the elbows 
the betwixt, the between
a door to an orifice opens
revealing our imminent doom

Tom went to the ugly bug ball
Strange insects invaded the hall
Folks dressed up as fleas,
Cockroaches and bees 
The smile on his face said it all

Tom hoped for a little romance
Asked a cute centipede to dance
She whacked him on the nose
When he trod on her toes
He went home in an ambulance!

CLOWN FROM DAMASCUS

            Came clown wearing gown from Damascus.
             Bought tent from down town for the circus.
                     He put nice rose Damask
                     on the nose of his mask
            wearing  garland of red Hibiscus

    Note: Damask is a type of Rose from Damascus

Paddle hard in youths whirling foam
waiting for the perfect wave
on the nose of a silken board
sipping a glass of sweet champagne..
It's in the blood to ride fast and smooth
in the sweet-salty sun rise of our youth.

Enter the rogue, striking from beneath
nudging naivety from sun into valleys of cold teeth.
Upon the beach, the broken foam of youth's dream...

When the sun sets who'll be by our quartered side?
To read plastic eulogies when the champagne runs dry....
