Short Restarted Poems

Anna Gunn
who would have guessed she'd succumb
restarted smoking
until then she had wanted to believe he was joking....

The drums have restarted,
the chanters proclaim

The dancers with coup sticks
in shadows remain

The flames burn in tribute
to death songs before

Because only the dead
—know the end of war

Tried installing spring on my computer, some kind of glitch
“NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA” you're pushing the wrong switch
Restarted, the same thing appeared
What a gigantic pain in the rear
WHEN? I shout as my big googlie start to twitch...

Tried installing spring on my computer, must be some kind of glitch
“NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA” may be pushing the wrong switch
Restarted and the same thing appeared
What a gigantic big pain in the rear
WHEN? I shout as my enormous googlies start to twitch...

This World is going to be restarted 
Sooner the schools ready to reopen
Asked to get closed all school goers
Distanced from schools from all corners 
Some kids may not send back to schools
Nancies to take in hand new set of tools 
Edisons to teach what are learning norms 
Learn to earn not but to live, from homes...

Our Father, life giving light,
Redeemer of the plains

Carry our offerings into your heart,
remember, we serve in your name

Spirit Redeemer, the mountains and hills,
distant and barren in lore

The drums have restarted, the chanting begun,
the People despairing no more

(From ‘The Book Of Prayers:’ September, 2020)...

My heart is glad and full, my mind free
My soul is so elated, I can hardly breathe
The robins of spring, their songs make me glad
I no longer worry about things I lost or had

I have restarted my life with the greatest of flair
I need to see my new town, tell them I am here
I give my Lord all the credit and His due
Praising Him always is what I do...

There was a young fellow named Randy,
Whom girls thought a little too handy.
They all ran away
On Valentine’s Day,
Although they accepted his candy.

Poor Randy was very down hearted.
His candy and he were soon parted.
Not one little kiss
From any sweet miss 
Though economy he restarted.





For Francine's Valentine Limerick contest  4th place...

Stuck in a loop,
Staring into space,
Time and time again,
Making the same mistakes...

Soaring one moment,
Crashing the next;
From long conversations
To unanswered texts;

Hourglasses and pendulums,
Keepers of time,
Are stopped and restarted,
The clockwork rewinds;

Stories are rewritten,
Hearts are unfurled,
Memories fade away,
To the beginning I return....

Early in the morning
On the fourth day of the week
All in the house fast asleep
Even  the counting sheep

Doves not cooing
Birds not singing
Moon not shining
I am pining

For the words lost
When the computer went down
Then restarted 
From the ground

Wished words were saved
I thought they expressed
All the pent-up restlessness
From the night that I hadn't slept...

What does it take
To De-ice a heart
In a passionate man
In need of a new start
 
Cobwebbed and lost
In declining beat
Not only bleeds
But occasionally weeps
 
Then out of the blue
A maiden so fair
Literal goddess
With care and flair
 
Her warmth with words
Has restarted my heart
Ignited my wants
And poetic parts
 
One day
I will make a new start
To meet this fair maiden
To touch her heart

What's broken ,My heart
You stolen, Fell apart
We both
Never ever knew
Each other pains
You broke my heart
Like a broken glass
Never looked at me
I was waiting 
Still knowing you'll 
Never come back
I know it's me 
Who started
You restarted
I was hopeless 
In our relationship but
You didn't also gave me
Hope
That we both
Wanted from start
My insecurity, jealousy 
Makes it worst
But I needed trust
You never gave me
But you gave up 
On Us....

Fairy brigade stopped as queen tied her shoe.
In that one pause I knew what to do.
Hid inside a mushroom with dots of blue.
Magical moment of woodland voodoo.

Crow cawed loudly then away she flew.
Parade restarted, determined, anew.
Rainbow peeked out, sharing beautiful hue.
Reverence exuding from daisy pew.

Gorgeous day in the land of the dew.
I often wonder if fairy queen ever knew
Or if any of the fey had nary a clue
They were watched by a pixie who’d escaped from a zoo....
