Short Rollicking Poems

Train rollicking past the zoo
stumbling across the river

nighttime already fallen
evening still clinging to chance...

spawn leaped from the page
splashing, rollicking awhile
swimming headlong up
a stream of consciousness to
generate ideas -- exits....

rain rampant  
rivers of love rollicking
red roads of peace 
reverberating an
 remembrance
released rejaculated
into the womb

    A rowdy, rollicking time 
        writhing in fresh mud and slime

     A pig might even call it ‘a bath’

Raucous

Raucous, rollicking rain
Rambles on hills and plains,
Relishes rumbles in
Raptures of raw laughter,
Raindrops razzle-dazzle,
Rambunctious and rowdy,
Riots of rakish rascals...

The word PENCIL comes from a latin word
Meaning SMALL PENIS, chuckled till my eyes blurred 
Hilarious, riotous, rollicking
Reminds me of bedtime frolicking
Giggled so hard, a gigantic fart occurred...

petals on the breeze
butterflies on cherry blooms
fragrance and wings waft

many in the trees
so red and green and yellow
in a blue sky spring

rollicking on gusts
in the hot day of the sun
and sound waves of song...

Lo! a gush of wind with fleecy ,fluffy clouds 
Peeped in with soft pitter patter

Follicking Rollicking Roch your world
Tallicking Tallying Tok for tale
Fock it and rock it and make it fail
Frock it and bawk it and make no shail

Ferry it and mock it
and pace what ail
Hope it and frot'h it
and fate be nailed...

Listen to poem:

Rapturous joy, sets my spirit alight,
Gliding in free-flight, with shear delight,
The frolicking, rollicking laughter, fills the air,
With dancing and happiness beyond compare,
My heart is aflame, no fears in sight,
I'm blown away by sheer delight....

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

Spring

Unpredictable
Days of bursting blooms
Rollicking sunshine
Merriment on springs
Glee springs out of ice

Effervescent
Giggling downpours
Laughs at puddles
Shedding winter

Twist and shout
Rock and roll
Raucous child

Ready...
Get set...

SPRING!!!...

old honkytonk piano
        the ghosts of your notes
               hover above you

          silence becomes longing
       for rhythm and rollicking songs
                      lost to time.

remember when you left me blind
reaching for my spirit in darkness bleed
running away for no reason cold
rupturing bulge in my heart bleeding
rummaging through my unsettled memory
reasoning beyond the helpless messiah
rollicking black blood in my veins
return renew rekindle rejuvenate...

September’s serendipitous serenade
Evokes the ebullience of ecstasy 
Provokes a prancing promenade
Tingeing the torrid leaf tips
Exacting an elemental excitements
Monumental majesty
Blue-black horizons blending
Exotically enigmatic exigencies
Ruby reds rollicking in the Rockies

Fun
Laughter
Merriment
Rollicking joy,
Life can be a roller coaster thrilling
ride; or a series of misadventures
Heartaches and pain
Sobs and sighs
and soon
dead.
I
for one
would rather
live this life now,
Nobody knows what tomorrow might bring.

A Christmas Memory

Christmas is nostalgic of rollicking times in busy holidays.
The sleepless nights, planned surprise gifts, sweet-meats,
The foldable, decorated, silver tree stood stately in the corner.
Unity in a happy feasting family without the good old Santa.

rollicking in the snow,
the bear shrugged the thick fur,
those who had come to watch,
were all wrapped up,but the animal had the fur,
not wrapped but naturally affixed,
it had so much of fat lined up beneath,
winter could not have affected him,
but what he did in scorching summers,
probably he did not stay in hot climes,
i thought as the bear rung the neck chimes....

Hiya, howdy, hey, and hello.
Juggle jams and jiggle jello.
Jumping joyfully, and jolly,
try it in a tram or trolley.

Happy, hopping, silly stomping,
rollicking and rowdy romping,
bouncing, bubbly butterscotch,
hilarious, howling, hot hopscotch.  

Lofty leaping, crazy creeping,
slipping, sliding, squawking, squeaking,
Care for cookies, candies, or cakes?
Such silly sounds, for heaven's sakes....

Colorful bouncing bubbles pops close and constellate . . .
As I am tease and toss by brisk ocean waves
Rollicking lots from me wonder, laughter, thrill and chase
Surfing! Surfing side by side with bubbles and playful tides
Arousing both from me a fountain of youth, excitement and race!

In bright orange blossom, dreamy afternoon meadow,
Stillness reigns as though time had nowhere to go.
And frolicking in summer, goes my puss in blooms,
Like children rollicking, with colorful balloons!

Soon scarlet butterfly visits the tip of his nose,
As starlight glitters, not caring whither it goes.
Running and bounding, like freedom's final chance,
Revelling in green days, before the years advance....

Candles, chocolates and a bottle of chardonnay 
Heralding the eve of Christmas day
Rollicking good fun is in the air
Icy outside but who gives a care
Surprises all gaily wrapped
To a song that someone's just rapped
Mistletoe hangs in the hall
And the clock ticks slowly on the wall
Santa Clause is coming to call

Dancing lights on the tree
A time of merriment for you and me
Young ones singing merrily.

Methinks there are too many GODS
One inside each head
Unable to agree on much
That is until they're dead

Some claim just one
Yet can't agree
On how that ONE
Sees you and me

Yet others herd
With twisted texts
Of humble voices
Loudly flexed

There are those
Who have not one
Yet gather Sunday's
Just for fun

The GODS sit rollicking
In laughter
Their baying sheep
Put out to pasture
