got his critics a little peeved
His writing became a bit erotic
within his very fine lyric...

Dee said she loved me I was pleased 
She wanted me I was relieved
But Dee let me down
I felt like a clown
Turned down to be a man I peeved...

Dee said she loved me I was pleased, 
She wanted me I was relieved;
But Dee let me down,
I felt like a clown,
Turned down to be a man I peeved....

Precariously personable 
Privately peeved
Parading pompously
Pronouncing pretty paragraphs
Possibly pretending pompousness
Poetic permanence 
Powerfully 
Performed...

Some words we say are ill-conceived,
and once spoken can’t be retrieved.
If our words inflame,
we should feel shame,
and feel remorse toward those peeved.

there was a young man named Price
who always took risks without advice
till one day he was peeved

Once when annoyed, peeved, 
My dream poured rage for long piled:
I’m never fulfilled.

Today’s Short Poem
Miracle Man
6/12/2022

When Ma got her social security check

    To the Cripple Creek casinos she'd trek

         Coins passed through her greedy paws

             To feed the slots' gaping maws

On this night 
a singular vow is born
No longer shall I grind my harvest...
In pain the hunger

Your cheers are interned within
a peeved facade
In contrast,
I shall hide my design
until this soil dries...

I love every hair upon your head
Although you've hardly any left Fred
Oh, those silver strands
I stroked with my hands
Are appearing all over the bed.

I’m peeved that you complain Eleanor
I am hearing from you when you snore
And you talk in sleep
To a guy named Pete
But admit I award it a Cor!...

Drool the duck got mad at a bull and whacked up a bee
                          She was so bad she took the cat for a cup of tea
                                            Cat was a mangler
                                            Upcountry wrangler
                 Peeved the duck with the muck and mucked her up with a pee
