Short Record Breaking Poems

Luggage
Heavy with o-dears
Ten days over the road
Round trip along the east coast
Much to see and so little time
Virginia is my favorite state of mine
Farming flat land and history of war
Record breaking heat wave
Purple blossoms
Monuments...

While sitting on my front porch
Having my ham sandwich for lunch,
A tiny ruby-throated hummingbird
Flew past my head at lightning speed
I did think it rather strange, indeed,
For I don’t usually hummingbirds feed
Until I realized I was wearing a bright
Red shirt, which he must have taken
For a feeder, he was quite mistaken,
A speed record he was clearly breakin’.

Such was time, a record-breaking passage
When you were forever, my endless mate,
A sleeping rose wrestling against ill fate
Touching a hag’s needle in an era of rage.

Yet I sought you, enmeshed in feisty strains
Bound helpless by a a mad witch of charade,
Till lightened  journey began to slowly fade
As my beard grew longer from  your remains.

The long wait is almost over
Later it’s Christmas
Are we all prepared?
Wait until midnight 

The sweet smell of salad
As luscious as happiness
We’ll make another remembrance
This much awaited Christmas

Cracking up fireworks
Smiling when the nightfall comes
As everyone will start grinning
New memories are about to start

Probably it will be the best
A record breaking Christmas
I’m dying to excitement
Later it’s Christmas...
