Short Rhymers Poems

Doggerels, *raunchy rhyme*
Are what purists call crap.
But who has the time
To listen to those sap?
We Doggerelists,
Rhymers unstable,
Are going to persist,
Whenever able....

In temporal time my heart speaks in mime
Thru celestial chime a sorrow sublime
Parallel paradigm punitive crime
Galactic grime of love’s climactic climb
With savoring shadows I’m lost in rhyme
Like lingering lime a paradox prime.

As I choose to peruse your poetic views
I absorb many mixed feelings in there
Filled with ambition, love and attrition 
From shyly bold to ragged rich debonair

This cauldron divine proves to show mine
As a confused rhymers rants I suppose
Show me no sorrow, I'll rise tomorrow  
I'll improve, but for now, I boop your nose!...

You do not have to pay, to have fun play
To live in today and dance as you may
To make way for those who are in dismay
To have faith and pray for love not to stray
To choose what to say from the heart to stay
To be what you may, the gift is today

When feeling life isn’t fair, bow in prayer,
when craving repair, know that I do care,
when nightmares do scare, I’ll always be there,
my love doesn’t compare, as your grace is rare,
as I declare we make the perfect pair,
remember to share God’s hope for despair.

The "Rhymers" guild; archaic faction,
We garner all the more detraction
Less, are we, in our attraction
More, we are, the poetic infraction

When free is verse, a form accursed-
Murders Art, fetch forth a hearse
For they coerced the Poems reverse,
And left our lines inverse- perverse!

*Title is a play off "It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World"...

We met in June, on a fine afternoon
Our hearts did swoon,under the full moon 
You said we'd meet soon, my heart was in tune
We were so attuned, in our sweet cocoon
Each day was our honeymoon, as we spooned
It was inopportune, love bloomed in June

When monorhyming, try data mining
Rhymezone com surfing, all word rhymes searching
Best suffix finding, words with "ing" ending
Present tense verbing, use twice in singing
Nouning with morning, farthing and shilling
Fling thing with sling string, monosyllabing

Nature says create and rejuvenate.

Beasts cooperate and repopulate.

Sun’s rays dominate; showers saturate!

Blooms that fascinate soon accumulate.

Bees don’t hesitate to participate

as they pollinate. Isn’t springtime great!

The joy of a blue vagabond, had dawned
When she became fond of the mystic bond
Smoke from her wand and a chair by the pond,
On a night that conned the morning sun, blonde!
Shimmers through the frond, twinkle to respond
The recluse, donned with verses from beyond.

Near My Fireplace

I lean my face near the burning fireplace
As I embrace the warmth that gives me grace
And base my thoughts upon the human race
I keep up pace in my small comfort space
And unlace evil climbing the staircase
To chase our souls that leave a loving trace.

The blackbirds alight at their sleeping site
as bushes ignite with fireflies’ light
that dance, flashing bright, in their courtship rite.
The bats rise in flight with sound as their sight.
The full moon swims white through velvety night.
I watch with delight and settle to write.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Though it should appear my conscience is clear
Still someone will sneer and possibly jeer
I seek not to care with deference to peers
for those who would fare despite all their fears
Create a nice sphere begin a new year
A lessening of tears a world full of cheers

If there were no poetry
Here’s what I think – 
The world would flow over
With rivers of…that stuff you put
     in pens and printers.

If poetry somehow
Did cease to exist
The thoughts of all rhymers
Would surely be…just floating around
     in the air with no place to go.

If poems weren’t written
I haven’t a clue
About how I’d express
What I’m feeling…does anyone?...

By the frozen creek in the woods I seek
Solitude. The bleak leafless oak trees creak 
In the wind. So weak is the light. The meek
Yellow grass blades peek through the ice. A streak
Of white frost. I speak not a word. Grosbeak
Pecks. The blue jays shriek on the lonely peak.

We strolled for an hour in a rain shower 
My face looked quite sour, I felt very dour
You found a wild flower I didn’t glower!
By a tall tower we found a bower
I laid our picnic for us to devour
You kissed me with power I didn’t cower!

Rainbow spectrum hue teems; colour path beams
Flow among the streams; forming back, white dreams   
Fantasy within seams; fey air it seems 
A life with themes;   verse quest forward in reams
Go forth with loud screams; sublime self-esteem
Taking sunbeams; blessing our Lord’s supreme

PEARLS OF PERPETUITY 

Memorable jaunt, one never to daunt.
Returned very gaunt, yet pearls she doth vaunt.
Pallor didn’t want. Now spectre doth haunt.

Calligraphy font of eccentric aunt.
Executor chaunt - ridiculous flaunt.
Niece struts pearls to taunt - doppelgänger wont.

Gems Of Reality


Gems of reality are thoughtfully

expressed thru imagery of poetry

to shape so earnestly and fervently

poems that formally shine artfully

reflecting history and mystery

of one's tranquility or misery.

A poem I'll write about the delight,

Of the magic light that comes out at night,

Colourful and white and all of them bright,

A heavenly sight all bunched up so tight,

I hope that you might join in on my flight,

The chances are slight that you'll join my plight.

 Along verdant hills , May crowns daffodils,
Where floral glow thrills as evening moon fills
The scent of air’s chills while robin blue shrills 
A music that instills  waves from grass on mills.

Petals dressed in frills reel like yellow quills
And laced mist distills…flaunting nature’s skills!

Never Again


Lost down memory lane in your migraine

Unable to explain this deep set pain 

Like a hurricane mixed with acid rain

From the inhumane way you entertain

Love goes down the drain in a wet bloodstain 

Pop the champagne then numb me in cocaine

Beware the rhymers curse, for they say there’s nothings worse
You will never ever purge it from your system
Every sentence every phrase, will, until the end of days
Turn into a rhyme, no matter how you twist ‘em
But, if you should be struck down, there should be no need to frown
You must savour every symptom of this blight
In your daily conversation show your joy and your elation
With the knowledge that your words are ever bright...

Sleep I can’t feign. I hear the falling rain
tapping a refrain on the window pane.
My throbbing pain recedes and I obtain
relief from the migraine which had free reign
like a freight train, a cause for mental strain.
Drat the champagne! Don’t blame the quiche Lorraine.

She begins to swoon when Timberwolves croon
a lost lovers tune to their goddess moon.
When a handsome loon begs his mate to spoon
in late afternoon, she blushes maroon.
One day very soon, she'll burst our balloon
for poisons we've strewn, which nothing's immune.
