Short Rhyming Couplets Poems

a short comical
    nonsensical verse
rhyming couplets
  of unequal length
a notable person
  in view
A bio
  on which to chew
in an absurd light
perhaps
  with a tortuous bite...

When you wish with poetic form
to demonstrate pure skill
a burried meaning hide
message in each line
half lines; worthy middle
rhyming couplets, meaning mine
paying close poet's tried
attention find you will
true brilliance: artist's norm...

As a tribute to Sir Edmund Clerihew Bentley 
I now write this unique form- consequently 
Two rhyming couplets, with line lengths unequal 
I'll tribute myself...in my clerihew sequel

Hell

Where will you go when you die?


To hell I hope I have no doubt.
The girls down there they do put out.
The boys can party all night long.
Drinking beer and pulling their shlong.
The demons there are quite contrite.
They swing their whips all through the night.
And when I want to have a gas.
I’ll kick the devil in the ass.

(Rhyming Couplets) 


Fruitcake, oh no! I don't like. 
I'd rather give it to Mike. 

Fruitcake tastes to me more than bad. 
If you send me one I'd get very mad. 

Fruitcakes are not really fun you see. 
So please don't send one to me. 

Fruitcakes tastes like a nasty piece of rubber 
Just thinking of them makes me shout and shudder.

Captivate me with your iridescent
Lustrous shining of your eyes on my soul

Your lips indulging on my red crescent
Tasting pleasuring the heart that you stole

Intense foreplay drive me incandescent
Glazing me with your hardness makes me whole

Two souls we rise and fall effervescent
Coming together as one burning coal

Love stays true when all fade evanescent
Revolving the world on celestial poles

The Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly kissed the Lantana
Light its flight carried by the wind lands 'pon my bandana
No nourishment but the butterfly lingers

Gently the Swallowtail flies to land 'pon the Purple Flock
Drinks nectar from the honeyed bloom then touches 'pon windsock  
Off in flight comes once again lands 'pon my fingers

Personally I don't like the way he gets up 
Every morn sqawking, strutting his stuff around, don't like, yup

Ring leader in the morn with his self-centeredness
His behavior exudes narcism and great abrasivesness

His neck stretched, chest extended, muslces flexed ready
This Rhode Island Red crows from dawn 'til sun up and steady

There’s a Monster Watching TV With Me!
by Lanier Thomas

I know there is a monster watching over my shoulder.
I wouldn’t think that if I were only a bit older.
I feel it whenever I watch cartoons on my TV.
I think it enjoys each and every one as much as me.
I’ve never seen the monster, at least I do not think so.
When I do look I see my old black striped tabby cat, though.
As I get older I won’t have this weird situation.
Mom tells me I will outgrow my wild imagination....
