Short Pouts Poems

With a show of unmitigated gall
Trump's at it again with his clueless wall --  
   Keep those 'criminals' out
   Postures Trump as he pouts -- 
While Putin plots America's downfall...

“Truth
a distraction”
the media pouts
Constricting
those voices
trying to shout
Dumber
than dumb
brain dead by degree
Digging new graves
for the few
— still left free

Doubts during bouts,
Asking gods' whereabouts
Asking: is this the route to South?
Should I set forth, to get North?
Is there a feast in the East?
Will I be pest in the West?

The scout pouts in doubts
of passing without a compass...

Now pouts the ex-president Trumpty
his turkey-day gravy’s all lumpy
he’s down on his luck
for he’s a lame duck
his a** voters threw in the dumpty

If she let's her emotions out 
everyone starts to shout 
Overwhelmed and runs her mouth 
Strolls away frustrated and pouts 
Spoken verbally her feelings get hurt 
Nothing's soft spoken anymore it's the worst 
Although I'm human it is not the first...

‘Princess’
in mess

Flicks hair -
Beware

Bad mood
Is rude

She whines
At times

She pouts
And shouts

Mummy … 
DUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

Stamps feet
Retreat!

Can clout –
Watch out!

Prissy 
Missy

Spoilt brat –
Hate that!

While gold-laced suburban skies shine, it is wasted on the child.
As he pouts behind a picket fence, vanilla ice cream melts.
Watching the manicured lawns grow, I long to loosen the green.

She did this and she did that 
I think she thought I think she thought
Do you have proof?  I ask.
She gets angry and pouts now.

Well she said this and she said that.
They said she said. 
They said she thought.
Have you asked her? I ask.

She flounces off in a huff.
I am sure I am her next subject.
Not that I care....

Singer Sir Mick Jagger
Walks with a swagger
Wriggling snakelike hips
Pouts with big rubbery lips


Texan model Jerry Hall
Is very skinny and tall
Their Bali wedding wasn’t valid
Mick no longer lives on salad!

She told me that I'd best obey
  My daughter always has her way
When I say 'No,' she stomps and pouts
  Then calls her friends to cuss me out

I don't know why she acts so mean
  I fulfill her every dream
With the latest tech and clothes
  She's a fashionista head to toe

She's realized all of her fantasies
  Except, I guess, getting rid of me...

Bananas and bicycles
pullovers and pears
armchairs with attitude
and cutlery that cares
gum trees and giggles
seaweed and snouts 
desserts with detachment 
and porridge that pouts
mink coats and mountains
water and winks
toes with tenacity
and silence that thinks
I encounter these things 
adrift in my dreams
hugging tight
a pillow that screams....

Freedom sings and freedom rings
Freedom flies with open wings
Freedom goes and freedom dares
Freedom is the open air
Freedom yells and freedom shouts
Freedom voiced with many pouts
Freedom protects and freedom destroys
Freedom regrets and freedom annoys
Freedom is not such a simple toy

For where are simple freedoms found
in the hearts of all men, profound....

January

January pouts like a petulant child,
Crying with rain and dreary.
“Why is fun out of favor now?
I wished for more attention and approval, 
A relief from fury and fever pitch of perfecting,
A time to revive and renew, and now
Rest and relief have cunningly come, and yet
Suddenly, hollowness and longing,
Not for the flashy and flamboyant past,
 
But for the manger....

Trump's mad at Fox. His twitter fingers are loose
Typing they've forgotten he's their golden goose
Tweet tweet each angry word
Clearly he is absurd
He's the thug in Orange Hair and Tan by Dr. Seuss

While Americans are plagued by the virus, dying
He continues to rant about fraud, but he's lying
In the White House he pouts
"I'm not leaving," he spouts
Can't have his way so he's boo hooing and crying...

black cat
asleep inside
shelled out pumpkin
wide awake
when the wick is lit
what a wicked thing
this child has done
sent to bed
pouts
he was merely
having fun
likewise
the cat
as he licks
the child’s toes
with his claws
wicked kitty
thrown
outdoors
where
toilet paper
explores
the tree
he’s chosen
to weep in
Halloween is relentless
vows to cross the path
of each catalyst

Mama
The one who wipes your nose and rinses you off with a hose.
She picks you up and you drop your cup.
You make a mess and she ruined her new dress.
Your toys are left out but she never pouts.
The crying never stops until you suddenly saw rain drops.
Dad comes home to save the day and mom wants to hit the hay.
Your first word was candy because you couldn’t say Andy.
Nothing beats mamas love yet she’s as calm as a dove....

Looks like my grandfather's father 
over round brown with the second Grand 
my visits tan round my hair receeds
Like his sounding wave
I breathe nostrils serenade 
Puckered lips bouts pouts 
Stuck out like a fish 
Texas skin rough dried like oatmeal 
Teary-eyed saddened by my hopeless cheeks and dimpled glance 
I mirror myself and I Laugh and I look a, like my Grandpa

I love the way she wears the sun
In her hair; and the way the rain
Beads on her delicate shoulders;
I love when her eyelids flutter
In early morning springtime breeze;
I love the way she pouts and sulks
When things don’t seem to go her way;
I love it when she feigns anger
That’s soon betrayed by a smile;
I love the look of guiltiness
On her face after we make love;
I love her childlike naiveté;
Her occasional whininess
And vagaries that define her....

She warned me that I'd best obey
   My daughter always has her way

When I say 'No,' she stomps and pouts
   Then calls her friends to cuss me out

I don't know why she acts so mean
   'Cos I fulfill her every dream

With the latest in tech and stylish clothes
   She's a 'fashionista' head-to-toe...

She's realized all her fantasies ~
   Except for getting rid of me

WHEN IT SLEEPS IT'S AN ANGEL TILL THEN:

When it dreams it's  Wonder,
When it snores it's  Thunder,
When it smiles it's  Beauty,
When it pouts it's  Cutie,
When it shines it's  Twinkle,
When it frets it's  Wrinkle,
When it fears it's Horror,
When it frowns it's Sorrow,
When it laughs, it's  Joker,
When it bluffs it's  Poker,
When it beams it's  Winner,
When it smirks it's  Sinner...

THEN IT SLEEPS AS AN ANGEL TILL WHEN...

Envy devoured me as I witness the wind,
Caressing her milky complexion,
Gently blowing the hair off those defined rosy skin,
Revealing Stargates into Heaven,

Within the depths, finding warmth pouts and sultry smiles,
The smell of home flooded my memories,
Every touch and movements pausing the dials,
A stellar conquest of sublime mysteries.

Into being, I submerged in an infinite darkness,
An explosion illuminating the void, creating my Universe.

She sits in her room
Staring at her lovers photo
Thoughts flood her head
Wishing she wouldn't think so low
She thinks, what will happen
Is our love going to run out
Will she leave me for someone else
She lies on her bed and pouts
Tears fill her blue eyes
Wishing she wasn't in love
She cradles her white stuffed puppy
And thought to herself, it''s enough
She got down on her hands and knees
And put her hands together
She then prayed to the lord
Hoping they'll stay together forever...
