Short Sampled Poems

Susie ate her sugarless serving with a slow spoon
Soggy sobs serenaded 
her seven-year-old sister’s
shocked, sensitive ears
Saccharine sadness sampled simply too soon...

We dined at a Hungry Horse pub
and sampled some delicious grub
We tried curries and pies
Lovely gammon and fries
But now I can’t fit in the tub!

in this small village,
we have but one diner
I've sampled their menu before
and have but one complaint
the toast they serve with breakfast
seems like it came from bread
baked at the time of Ramses II...

whoomp told whoompa, whoomp, whoomp whoop!
whoompa whoompa, whoomp, whoomp, whoop!
yo so
reely dough?
enjoyed the flow?
naw mayne, hell know!
the tempo aint right
the subject is wrong.
you sampled a classic
you ruined the song...

solitary bees -

freedom sampled, but never

a taste of honey

drinkers from plastic
diet pepsi addicts hear
twice the micro beads

of fractal plastic
lodged in your body systems
on an average

scale of health diets
and population samples
of FOREIGN OBJECTS

in sampled people
stuff that summons class action
lawsuits for billions

Burly bright boys 

And curly maned misses 

Naughty night noise 

And candy cane kisses 

Sweetly sampled shapes 

And soft hungered hips

Nicely nibbled napes 

And lollipop lips 

Gleeful girlish giggles 

And playing footsie all day 

Wishful wanton wiggles

And tootsie rolls in the hay...

There's a constant humming of the heart

in rhythm's feigned semblances,

everything is just sampled stories self pre-awakening

we are merely a perception of who we think we are,

had a vivid dream I'd written the perfect analogy

ended 'pon bittersweet rhymes calling out destined poetry...

Souls are saved 
By Michelle Morris 
17/01/2021 

Clarity of voice
Honesty by choice 
Integrity of vision
Faithfulness in decisions

Hunger for righteousness 
Angelic kindliness 
Humanity is guided 
Godliness finds us

Leading by example 
Heaven is sampled 
Humanity behaves
Souls are saved

Desire ignited on the dance floor
Encouraged by sweet tasting wine
Shyly sampled by longing lips
Testing the word on my tongue
Identity revealed in love's game
No longer accepting denial
Yet secrecy had to prevail

Fear beyond hope of revival
Outwardly love hid behind smiles
Uttering expected answers on cue
Normality became surreal torment
Duelling with blades of insanity....

I've walked up blueish poles. 
Gazed upon beautiful ogres.
Sampled minty auroras. 
Vomited the bleeding, unforgiving cold.

I've waltzed a million lily ponds.
To seek a mirage called bliss.
Despite the perils that swirl
Beneath the horizon of all dreams. 

I've put my face to fire.
To kiss a blossoms' lips.
But in the end was given a muzzle of sweet needles.
-the haunt of scented ash....

The words at my disposal
May be simple, even trite;
Yet they suffice to satiate
My rhyming appetite.

I spice them up as best I can
And simmer them with care,
At times attempting recipes
Exotic, if I dare.

Though usually my degustations
Match my aptitude;
I’ve sampled other sustenance,
But rhyme’s my comfort food.

And when I dish it out, I hope
That someone takes a bite.
It may not be gourmet, but hey,
I think it tastes all right....

Our history is horrid
yet history is our knowledge
wisdom we have borrowed 
priceless today and tomorrow

Horrors seen of every race
in every place at everytime
inherited within a space 
a lesson left behind 

Examples of what happened there
sampled so we'd be aware 
ample failure left too scare
stop us falling down the stairs

History should not offend 
you were not there living
History will never end 
as it offers new beginning...
