Short Proceeded Poems

just enjoying her midday cat nap.
She fell off the chair,
then turned with a glare,
and proceeded to give me a slap....

At their best are
A dive into duality
Into our everyday
To find the words
Or the colors
Which of themselves
Quickly dissolve 
Into that from which
The inspired dive

Welcoming vagabonds to my house
I longed to hear their journeys.
Eventually fear reached me, and

I proceeded to curse his being....

"Don't fear it; just pet it instead!"
But just then "sweet" spider
proceeded to bite 'er.
She stomped on it till it was dead!

She was his muse 
so beautiful, a true
angel on earth
'til she revealed 
to him her many scars 
Disquiet at first filled
with concern
then slowly proceeded  
to unstitch every one
of her wounds
as if they were buttons
of an old  blouse......

TRADEMARK

When Rolls and Royce designed a new car
Better than previous ones by far
Before they proceeded
A trademark was needed
So they settled on R with an R

I hear a gentle voice,
While my heart began to beat,
I proceeded through the soft, white, clouds,
For then we shall meet,
Our hearts started to unite ,
While we glared up at the sky,
Observing the stars constructing shapes,
Never longing to say good-bye....

To turn gray hair proceeded
While line of it had receded
Might have looked distinguished
Hair color was extinguished
More dye added when needed.

synapses continued their neuronal junction
long after the seed’s path had been planted

the miracle proceeded in mind and mindfulness
as the journey became her labour of love

prismatic eyes shone once again in a mirror
polychromatic and full of compassion and trust

The times they sure are a changing

The clock struck 6 then
proceeded to 7

And on the stroke of midnight
come 1999 the year became 2000

And on my bithday i was no longer
47 but 48

The time's they sure are a changing

And so am i

Ain't nothing i can do to stop it

Even if i wanted to...

Everyone fears  winter's storms 
proceeded by wrathful winds devastating a grave,
and as the squirrels run for shelter
another trees falls on isolated roads...
see them break in two missing a scary bear;
behind this window I fret and pray I will live.

Time turns its wheel, 
The pace exceeding comfort. Yet,
The world has proceeded
Complacent.
Time transitions with insistence 
Between raging waterfall and, for a distance,
whispering river. Ever changing path and
Speed.
Time moves, impatient,
Its inhabitants – unaffected- 
Even while questioning
Existence....

A little old lady named Rosie,
Loved to plant things like veggies and posies.
Her garden a sight, the whole yard a delight,
And butterflies played ring round the Rosie.

Now rabbits got into her garden,
And ate everything to yard's end.
Out the back door she flew to round up the crew,
And proceeded to make rabbit stew....

The witch said she found him so sweet
Then promised to make him complete
Her boast was no trick
As quick as a twick
Proceeded to give him a treat.

I proceed to be still,
My feelings evolve like rain,
Times may be hard,
But all I want I can't gain.
 I see the wind through my eyes,
The vision was so clear,
For now I need a guardian,
One who will take away my fear.
I proceeded to feel anxious,
Those feelings began to leave,
My mouth opened slightly,
For now I can believe....

I noticed she smoked, unhealthy, but sexy,
and every time our paths came to cross occasionally,
she would always give a warm inviting smile and hello to me.
Once I was admiring her from afar, sensually smoking that cigarette,
when she proceeded to look down upon the ground, and proceeded to spit.
She wasn't sexy anymore. Sorry darling, you blew it....

6 a.m. I watched a robin
As it tugged upon a worm.
When it saw me it was startled
So it dropped it, all a’squirm.

When it knew I posed no danger
It proceeded with its meal,
Thus affirming that the adage
‘Bout the early bird is real. 

For a bird it seems that early
Is a goal we can confirm,
But the same does not apply
To that poor breakfast-eaten worm....

The high diver climbed the ladder over 100 feet high
and then proceeded to perform a very graceful swan dive.
Plummeting to the bottom quickly he plunged
into what was supposed to be a slightly dampened sponge.
Upon impact the high diver instantly died
because his girlfriend's jealous husband rung the sponge out bone dry.
The husband has been charged with homicide....

I watched a yellow butterfly
As it was slowly flitting
Among the garden's flowers
All the while that I was sitting.

It carefully proceeded
From the purples to the reds
While the blossoms, acquiescing,
Seemed to sigh and bow their heads.

Mother Nature is so thoughtful
Giving more than is her duty,
Filling flora with such nourishment
As well as all that beauty....
