Short Pome Poems

As I pull on my socks
At the start of each day
I notice my feet
Seem further away....

The tale is finally over and the curtain is drawn

Music of deception flows
Flipped faces metamorphose
In chameleon jamboree
I dance with me.

EPITAPH TO A CAT

Here lies our cat,
At peace no doubt.
Survived eight times,
Then his luck ran out

If they don’t understand it
Then you’re got it wrong,
If they get bored then
Your Pome is too long,
If all you can do is
Just stand and swear
Are really sure you should
Be standing up there....

When the towns only tow truck breaks down, the not-yet repos have time to hide in the garage. While I am still stuck in the mud.

A smart woman thinks knowledge is sufficient, 
                       but a wise woman knows how to be proficient.

How finely grind the checks and balances,
the system that minds the store.
To delve into the lies and challenges,
oh boy, what a national chore.

Oh there within her shining gaze -
     
     That wondrous, shimmering sea,

               I found reflected in those depths ...

     One unmatched stunner ... ME!

A pome _a heart without a home,
finding its way alone no song
singing endlessly in time
never drinking wine but sober this time
righting words in the nite and then
writing them on paper that never crinkles
sensing smiles in ladies dimples
wondering at love....

I will never win a spelling be-
but that’s all rite you sea-
I have this grate spell checker 
that came with my PC.
It plainly marks for my revue
any spelling errs for me.
I’ve checked this pome
and others to, and its letter
perfect now I no, because
my checker tolled me sew...

God bless the counter tenor
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Member of my divine Parliament
Halos abounding and sounding
Of Celestial bliss and perfectude.
\Pitching pulchritudinous pitches,
Pushing me to transcendence.
No God can touch this
Nor man bring down.
God bless the counter tenor...

MARRIAGE

                              Marriage in life, the beverage 
                              mostly tasted by average
                              is an event, almost sure to repent?
                              If unmarried, quite sure to regret.

Here lies a man who criticized
His wife’s baking of apple pies.
A burglar shot him
In a battle grim
It was truly a swift demise 

Clues are sadly missing
But his wife is kissing
New guy in town
With hair of brown
No I am not dissing.

Whiteflowers Poem 

A Pome for Amarylliss 

A pome _a heart without a home, 
finding its way alone no song 
singing endlessly in time 
never drinking wine but sober this time 
righting words in the nite and then 
writing them on paper that never crinkles 
sensing smiles in ladies dimples 
wondering at love.

Word will not describe 
world can not hide
young man looking in yard
for something to do (Oh look)
these flowers are funny(purple)
they are smell funny(holds it to his nose)
Someday I will have a woman like my mother
some one to love me a wife?
no it will now never be
but I tried Oh how I tried
but I have something better
better than a wife
I have a ParmeFlower...

mermaid pome 

she is lofty but not out of reach 
hair is shimmering in waves 
waking me with her touch 
almost 
 but not too much 
she calls out my name 
wait she says 
and then she stops to breathe 
she is my mermaid 
playing me like the fish i am 
honey i was still asleep i cry 
yes she said and that is why i try 
to love yew 
she is my ewe 
my life 
my wife...
