With a roundabout knockout

a little balled fist...
his scowl reflects in window
...grandma winks at him

i gaze into your eyes

lost in their depth

so cold, so angry

from years of torment and scowl...

... moody moon's pale scowl,

          aloft alone, aloof owl,

          lone wolf's lonesome howl......

fish in a glass bowl..

                    swims with neither smile nor scowl..

       pensive as an owl....

    Scowl and plot
To win by any means

If you have lived well
Smile lines are in right places
Scowl lines aren’t too bad
What more do you need to have?
Beauty comes from life well lived....

If sorrow therefore be my place
As thou cast still my hand to my pale face,
I supplicate thee to not me dismiss with that scowl
But smile for my own heart’s roll....

Do stop your moaning, for Heaven's Sake!
You're not the first to bellyache!
You can scowl, growl, or howl
Or throw in the towel
But no one can go to your Wake!...

Embrace them or fight, with smiles or a scowl
Inevitable, so don't throw the towel
Divine winds of change
Inherently strange
Come not whispering, but surge with a howl...

Even though not a blemish is there to be seen at all
His thieving ways will be his doom one fine morn I know!...

Were Wise Old Owl

What if I were a wise old owl?
And on face you could find a scowl
Never would give a hoot
At who I had to boot
Then give them a crying towel.

The limerick shark’s on the prowl - dum dum
His face in a permanent scowl - dum dum
For his next role in Jaws,
he demands a food clause;
Amityville tourists taste foul - dum dum...

Trump with Blatant Bowel

Trump had been moved by blatant bowel,
And could tell by face which wore a scowl;
Noise  maker;
Earth  shaker,
Also as usual he let out horrendious howel.

At 83, still breathing and cookin' away
Seems I've still got lots left of my matter grey
Thought surely by now
I'd be wearing a scowl
But a shiny big smile is my order of the day...

If all my kisses made you feel annoyed,
If nothing I could do could raise a smile,
If all I said and wrote received a scowl,
If all I gave required another mile,
At least I’d know I had you for a while....

And the sky brightened and the moon sang songs.
The mood setting fraught with many more wrongs.
Anne wore dark sunglasses.
Music’s like molasses.
The full moon kept her up all night long.

oil his tightwire to surprise the actor.
When arose holding long pole 
crowd roared, he slipped into roll
no net; with an ugly scowl turned to her.

forever they said

in their vows to each other

on that joyous day. . .

now they scowl in divorce court

five years after forever

It's said “forever” is made of a bunch of “nows”
I really don't follow, leaves me with a scowl
Each “now” can exist
If we change and twist
Today's our new “now”, I feel like a wise old owl...

Please close your eyes, not fully clothed right now
Well I'm wearing a smile from my bum to my brow
Above that have a hat
Quite fancy at that
With bells that ring out if I'm wearing a scowl...

Doris had not seen that teenage girl scowl for over twenty-five years
But here it was again,
Staring down her mother
Her daughter asked Doris, “Have you ever seen such a face?”
She could not stop laughing....

The Hound dissed the Princess,
With a dour scowl.
He hid his little mistress,
Quickly to be avowed.
The inquest was listless,
with nothing much found.
Now the Bonnie Prince,
will wear a Kings Crown.

On his face is the smirk
     of a tired barn owl,

like a queer cross between
     a frown and a scowl;

most expressive is the skewed
     side of his mouth

that's now sliding down a few
     pissed degrees south!...

can owl be a fowl
or a fowl have been an owl
who would like to growl

could owl be on prowl
in search of a beach towel
while using right vowel

on face wore a scowl
hard movement passed through a bowel
we could hear him howl...
