Short Pined Poems

The west wind did whine
Blowing past a cactus thorn
The subdued sun pined
The sun’s shimmer fell to west
The sun’s shadow fell to east...

There once was a Sparrow name Fred
Who wished to be a Robin instead?
His dull feathers of brown
Were, making him frown
He pined for a breast of bright red....

The costume of the Green Hornet
Had no red thereon to adorn it
- He cried; he whined
- Oh! How he pined
‘Cause Superman’s the one who had worn it.

Butts are fine for any type of cleason
Where all are lign for any line of reason
That all are pined for
any kind of deason
So all who'd know
far any kind of feason...

A lady whose horse broke its leg
drank herself drunk from a keg.
	“I can’t live in this world,”
	she pined, “without the old girl,
so, please, shoot us together, I beg.”...

Bobby Stokes pined to be a politician.
He was bright, idealistic, full of ambition.
But in office he forgot
what he clearly should have not.
Incumbents heed a dirty tricks tradition....

Once had a crush on a real Valentine
Janice Valentine was a crush of mine
Back in Grade Two
But she never knew
Much too shy to tell her how I pined

There was a cuckoo-bird lived by a lake
Thought that a great fisherman he would make
   But when he set up his lines
   To devour the bait he pined
He'd snarf down all the worms, for heaven's sake...

There is no getting away
From its reality.
We live in it! Nothing is
But first was foggy.

Sum of all our yesterday's
All our yesteryear's
Pined for, wished on new world's look;
Fulfillingly clears....

The hurt, the pain were now combined.
Oh love, so lost, for which she pined.
A memory of sweet embrace.
Forever gone, without a trace.

This longing, now to be dissolved.
With just a sip quickly resolved.
And so the liquid death she drank.
Into the deadly sleep she sank....

At church, young niece asked me in a blink

What mating meant with a curious wink

    “It's a  bird-and-bee's dream

      For girls who reach  sixteen”

Pined she,” that’s not what my classmates think”

She was the only love he'd ever known

   For the cheap wedding ring he would atone

      She pined for a bigger "ice"

         A five carat stone would be nice

            The jerk bought her a one ton graveyard stone

Bring him home this child of crime
He was found and now lost in time
Three years old these words I find
In this world cruel people’s minds
They’re not human just evil kinds
A child is born send love to bind
I cannot see why death she pined
For a son who only loved now an angel sweet divine...

within his heart i kiss an bide
within; i am your bride

"Foggy mists engulfed the bright
 When raindrops fell throughout the night
 The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
 When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park"

When lightning streaked, she tightly embraced,
As she squeezed water from her hair's sweet grace,
She left me stunned, struck by Cupid's fiery arrow,
Pined for, we met in love's perfect marrow....

Beat spouse
Called louse

In funk
Got drunk

Left bar
Drove car

Cop stopped
Got popped

Smelled booze
Bad news

Tests muffed
Handcuffed

To jail
No bail

Court date
Learned fate

Judge gowned
And frowned

One year
Oh dear

Confined
He pined

Short shrift
Wife miffed

The waxing sun of April shines
Where once the woods of winter pined;
Now trilliums and columbines
Exult; where snow once lay, now find
Sweet-scented honeysuckle twined.

Where rime ran rife, where cold was keen,	
Unfurling ferns of freshest green
Now burst beneath the budding trees,
And fragrant flowers of eglantine
Are bending in the brimming breeze....

Ocean shimmers under iced-kissed skies,
crystal waters freeze the silken shore.
We inhale the chilled mist of biting winds,
cleansing soreness from our pined outpour

We stroll on thick mittens, hand in hand,
squeeze cool,  sharp flakes between our toes.
Grizzly waters lap our sandal strands
shiver the beach, the Ice King wears the crown.

He bade him well and caressed the sea
Their lips deplored and pined prithee
As hearts had quelled and tidings lorn
As romance sailed towards love's newborn

Once a dream had therein seen
Entreats that time which charm's convene
My soul entreats and whispers why
And the waters take my once forby

For towards night's nigh
Where
wind's winter gales
For which dance's die
As passing passion sails...

Paper roses I make on Valentine's
For you year round I fold, save all like mines
Mines of paper fly in the air like wines
Wines of beauty and thoughts that bring out lines
Lines of me deep down I plant like green pines
Pined big roses I water forever
Ever will all strong winds play with lever
Never your heart or mine will grow sever
Paper roses flow for you like river
All my love in paper are yours ever...

If I become blind
I should this mind,
For I can’t anymore my way find,
My watch correctly wind,
Nor the scattered bind …

I will have away pined
By the time I become blind,
As I won’t note the dishes I dined
Nor the Bacchus on which I wined;
How resources are undermined
And complainants their teeth grind …
Nor the number pick of my enemies behind. 

If I should become blind,
I might cease to be kind....

I'm locked within my mind,
with my thoughts that go unrefined.

They keep me here still awake,
when my dreams refuse to take,
hold of me. I am ready to make,
a choice to show the things I don't fake.

The depths of my mind,
which are a maze I don't show,
for I worry what some will find,
simply because I do not know,
everything for which I have pined,
if only someone could ease the flow,
of my thoughts. That would be so kind....

Words now are leaves waiting for the fall
I have seen them green
But loved them gold most of all
When trees were naked before the eyes
And words were tattered so with lies
And faith shook
The trees barren. I pined for fruit
Of lips of truth, or breast of purity
I hungered for love
And saw nudity that tells of shallowness
The only deep soil left is my heart
Words are being beaten into plough
But I prefer the two-edged sword
Since I am not a man of war....

Memory shrouded in time
Dim Face clouded by time
Fleeting Kiss so sublime
Residual embrace, pantomime
Tendered love a shrine

Amorous tryst longingly pined
Smoldering embers to remind
Fantasies, dreams slowly unwind
Fleeting affair left so far behind
Hopes, aspirations streamlined

Fond reflections kindle fire
Warm feelings run haywire
Emotional flashbacks spark desire
Slowly seething in passionate pyre
Until last cinder doth eternally expire...

I heard a song, so sweet it rhymed,
Below the ground, nah! above the sky,
Echoes of purr woefully chimed,
Seducing me, nah! fiddling a fly!
Again, my day ends in pretty blue,
Behind the log, her paean bloom,
Again, my day bloom in her meow,
Behind the wall echoes resume.
Within the walls my feline trapped,
Me, a fool, savouring her last cry,
Within my reach the singer pined,
Sang the melody, for me to buy!
Oh God, let her spirit sour high,
I the sinner, never deny!
