Irreconcilable Paradox

Disciples sought veracity
From their guru beneath his tree
The great one scoffed with a look sly
“The truth to tell I always lie!”

Premium Member A Sticky Situation

A cook was filling honey pots
Her hand slipped, and she dropped the lot
She was in a sticky situation
Until a bear appeared, and without hesitation
He scoffed every single drop!

Premium Member The Sarcastic Son-in-law

I asked Euston, my new son-in-law,
"Was it a car or a cat I saw?"
Euston saw I was not Sue.
He finds me (Sue's mom) a shrew,
so he scoffed, "Does a car have a claw?"

A Bliss Or a Bummer

There was a young man from Nantucket,
Whose logic for life was to duck it. 
Scoffed “ignorance is bliss”
Till the fates took a piss,
Now life’s gone to hell in a bucket.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Tiramisu in a pot 
I’m a greedy mare I’ve just scoffed the lot
Don’t worry about me putting on weight
Because I’m quite petite  - a UK size eight

Premium Member Gender Confusion Fun

There once was an old man from Japan
Who scoffed at gender pronoun confusion
  He said, Listen you young 'uns
  If you really want to have fun
    Pronounce my name fast --
          I-you-he-she

Frigid Air

the frigid air snaked across

     my skin and left it tingling
  
       with frostiness

the windchill scoffed at me

    with it's hautiness as the air

swirled around me

  I seek shelter and refuge

    from the intensely

 frigid elements

Premium Member I Taught Her That

She swirled her gases in the prettiest way
Appearing smoky and smoggy, like a ball of ice
The sky lit up at as it watched her go,
Vibrant robe trailing in a flourish of stars
No one made an exit like Luna,
I taught her that whispered an entity unseen
I scoffed at Zeus’s audacity

Premium Member Freudian Slip

the chalice of need contains no poison ~ but might cause a herpes lip

scoffed the leper to the serpent ~ who was trying to sponge out a sip

the snake dissed the quip quietly ~ his tongue had already lost its tip 

but was heard under his breath saying ~ how’d i end up in such a kip

Premium Member Some Say He Made It Rain

Some say Vladimir Putin made it rain
Yet others scoffed: "The man is but a fool."

The climate changers thought he'd gone insane
The very folks who shout, "The Earth must cool!"
Who teach their theories to your kids at school

Their remedy's to raise the carbon tax
~ Boost government control up to the max

Premium Member Gargoyle the Conversationalist

What makes this faerie special? 
She is naked.
The gargoyle rolled his eyes.
They are all naked under their clothes, he said.
True enough.

She is pretty.
He scoffed.
She is kind and generous.
He kept waving his hand, encouraging her to tell him more.
An expert at not having to hold up his end of a conversation.

Premium Member Cookie the Cat

Cookie can cook recipes from a book,
She can rustle up meals in a flash.
She wears a chef’s hat even though she’s a cat
And she works in a restaurant for cash.
Once Chef Cookie cooked all the fish I had hooked
While out fishing with Oli one day.
She fried them in batter, served them up on a platter
And we scoffed them all up right away.

Premium Member Scandalous

.
 
   There went she
       blue eyes
 sashaying with her
       sassy self
    in her scanty
         sateen
         sheath

      Scandalous
the scandalmongors
         scoffed
           as I

  And off I scurried
 searching for paper
         and pen
to scribe mine script
  of her succulence

         Skoal

    I’d take a sip

Man; That Self Exalted Beast

Scoffed at, you, through every squawk?
Laughingly denounced of
No blustery change only
As what blows commonly?

Judged, you, if by that tree-stiff
And tree-wooden does appear
Unswayed either way? Not told
The sap of it runs cold!

Found as many faults in
Timed are to a clock's tick
As have dealt them, for cruelties
All Earth's living species?

What Is a Poet

What is a Poet?

A singer of songs, a caller of warnings;
A crier of tears, a laugher, a weeper.
Lover of life; of nature, of God;
One set apart; scoffed at and shunned.
Sufferer of numberless maladies.
A poet spreads his soul;
Rampant over white paper;

To be wondered at and mocked.
To incite passion, tears, and smiles.

To expound truth and create beauty.

Stronger Winds

A dark cloud swept o’er me today,
and visited but couldn’t stay

It tried to blow my voice away,
but stronger winds then had their say

Poisoning rains lay overhead,
whose black veil lifts in mornings glow

Their invocation scoffed again
—by everything Mariah knows

Premium Member she scared them

she had been walled in by those who thought they knew her
retaining her dignity, she scoffed at their measly efforts
no one expected her to rally,
but she literally bounced out of their blockade

their efforts to disturb and perturb her propelled her forward
to do what she does best
she melted their negativity with her positive attitude
frightening them even more now

Premium Member Hard Surface Espinela

You’d think it would need to be soft,
but I’m built for that hard surface.
Complex will not make me nervous, 
you ground my fierce feelings aloft.

Others may have giggled or scoffed
not you, you just embraced my fear.
Now knowing that love will be here
a resting place for my heart thrives.
When more than the passion survives?
That’s when our bond is crystal clear.

Learn To Listen

What a mess 
I must confess
I made of my own life
Immaturity can be 
A dull and painful knife
Advice was given readily
Wisdom came like tides
Warned of dangers far and near
That trap young hearts like mine
Stubborn as a mule can be
I scoffed and bucked 
So foolishly
Looking back 
I made a fuss
Over things now 
Old like dust
If I'd listened 
If I heard 
Words of love
I thought absurd

Scoff Syrup

. for public domain

I scoffed at hearts that writhed with pain,
that fell from broken promises,
for I had naught to do with Love,
it's folly or its gain,

but now I find that not to love
is not to live at all.
The stones on our paths outlast us all,
but I dread to exist that long.

I choose to risk feeling pain
than to feel no pain at all.
Jupiter is a very great orb,
but in living, very small.
