Short Partook Poems

Cal Call was a lowlife nicknamed Big Mac
he was obese and partook from a sack.
He gobbled up French fries
and with no surprise
died, alas, from a supersized heart attack....

Heard of this local filly named Jiggles Galore
Some of the local townsfolk called her a whore
Twas not very nice
Some partook in her vice
And rode giddy up until they got sores...

August were the moments we partook
During the preceding night
My eyes dissolved into cacophonies
Of everlasting rivulets
Fate never before
Had glistened so vividly
The beauteous exchange
‘twas the spate of arias betwixt us
Gradually the nexus continued to cleave...

It might have been a zephyr only
Of an angry mood the feeblest aired.
But for what's storm-raised as a mind flash
To be shook by must you be prepared.

Merest of mere light soaking, you say
Pitious partook, too few the tears
But brought to their rememberance above
A cloudless burst of love for you nears....

The sound of the needle slowing ticking in its box of wood
Counting down an event which the world partook
Outside whilst singers sing and dancers danced
Frolicking in tune with their merry wine
Unknowing their fate seeking out the day break
The needle grows ever closer
But I sleep sound in my little box of wood...

At my leisure I strolled through post-college life
    worked smart by day, partook of pleasure at night

  One morning woke up on the back side of the hill
    my dreams unattainable, attenuated my will

  Never tested my mettle, never once even dared
    stretch my arms out to Him, make my life over with prayer...

XVI. 

They spoke kindly those.

They reveled fondly of theirs

Of tender times reminisced.

Journeys made in fellowship.

Deeds for the sake of deeds.

Forgiven solely to forgive.

They broke bread partook of salt and imbibed wine.

None can speak ill of such charity.

Of this a query arose.

Thine was not of those.

Between old blood and tyrants 
Deeper in the silence 
I found the balance.

Music fills my soul
I've lost all control
I'm not half, I'm whole.

This music is my church
The end of my search
No more research.

The artist is my priest
And god is just another beast
That partook in this feast,

Deeper in the silence
I'm listening to the sirens
Between old blood and tyrants....

Table scraps we shared
beside the Master's Chair;
more than we had dared
to hope for in our dark and foul air,

we partook as sumptuous meat,
discarded from a Heavenly Feast,
yet food enough, a Spiritual Treat,
to delight us among the least.

We raised our palms in praise,
hands unused to prayer, and tough,
rang hallelujah all our days.
The little we had - more than enough....

In the midst of the Garden
  was the Tree of Knowledge
                                 of Good
                                       and Evil
                   and the fruit thereof
                was beauteous ---
                  but it meant
                          Death                         it
                              to all                  of
                                     who partook...

“Hi Sexy”, I said to 
The giant beaked black emu;
The next thing I recall,
Big yellow beak heading
At me, full speed ahead
And I quickly stepped back.

Stalled claws gripped the ground;
Halting bird staring;
Obsidian eyes
Screamed in confusion;
Rejected big bird emu;

Approached slowly.
I held out seeds,
His feelings hurt;
Still, he ate them.

We remained 
Friendly and 
A few more

Seeds he
Partook;

Dined....

The 60s brought changes to hair 
Today, they would make people stare 
Bouffant look was in
Made puffy from thin 
And teasing- it was the big flare. 

I was one of those who partook 
In those days, it was the best look 
But when it was done 
I still had some fun
In styling it by my own book.

These days, I still tease it a bit
Shaped smoothly, it will nicely sit
And hold fine all day
A touch of hairspray
I'm good to go, well-groomed and fit!
