Leprechaun's Charm

A leprechaun lost his charm
Which set off a big alarm
So, he tried to fix
His shillelagh stick
And hopes it brings him no harm

2020 Chastity Belt

There is a notorious flirt
Who fondles beneath a girl's skirt
But some of his "charm"
Set off her alarm
"Digital Intruder Alert!"

Enfolded by your embrace
i am warm
For nothing is brighter then
the flame that is burning 
inside me
Set off by your 
Intoxicating smile

Bookworms

A young girl with breasts like the mountain
Set off the young lads like a fountain
With so many showers
Pulsating from towers
Her major of choice was accountin'

Australian Tour

On my bike, fifteen gears by derailleur
I set off on my trip round Australia
But the weather was hot 
Blisters grew on my bot
So the journey became quite a failure

Little Bugger

A gnat did fly up my nose,
on purpose, I must suppose.
He set off a pet peeve,
as his wings made me sneeze,
I did pee into my clothes.

THE LITTLE BEAR

The little bear
Who didn’t care
Grabbed a large crab
That grabbed him back
With a fierce attack
The little bear
Who didn’t care
Cries out loud
For his mom
That set off an alarm

'Grammar Police' Strike Again

    In a most stunning reversal of form
    The ‘grammar police’ took over a dorm

        Kicked out all the radicals
        Screamed, ‘You’re non-grammatical’

           ~  Set off an academic protest storm

Silent Wars

My screams are void
Interrupted by blurred groans
Drums beating,
Echoing in the dead of night,
Unavoidable
Silent wars has begun 
Quarrels set off,
Throwing away love

Who wins? Who has gone missing?
No one knows in silent wars

False Alarm

she set
a fire
and i
set off
the

alarm
to warn
myself
that she
is true

in fact
too good
to be
true

my ears
to keep
out

the sound
of the bells
the bells
for they

because
of me

Sweet Smell of Summer

The smell of a fresh cut lawn
Winters over been waiting so long

Chlorine water in a swiming pool
Eating ice-cream tell I get full

Sun tan lotion on a sunny day
Set off an amazing display

Fireworks like gun powder
colors get brighter sounds get louder

The Score Huitain

Deafening the score for spring break,
set off by the harp’s gentle voice. 
That pas de deux of give and take,
a fever pitch played with such poise.
There are so many twisted toys
 that masquerade as gentlemen.
Soft banter that clamors a choice:
do you want cheap or a bargain?

Should I

Should I open wide my arms And let you in Or wrap them tight about my charms Should I open wide my arms Will these emotions set off alarms Is there something here we could begin Should I open wide my arms And let you in

Dramatic Moon

Flow of the lustrous milky rays
Aglow as the coat of white glaze
Birds misled and set off their trills
Herds ready to go to foothills
Confused owls go in awful mood
Amused jars wish to forage food
Dark cloud blanket enfolds the moon
Stark and sudden change soothes most soon

In Vice of Time

Like a sappy fruit
in vice of time,
a slobber root -
a top cut by a knife.

Thick drops in a pot
down slowly trickle,                                                         
hold firmly a cup,
set off a ripple.
 
Must hoe one's row,   
time, here, I see,
for muck and your
fruits marc will be.

Rosa Parks

Stubborn refusal by Rosa Parks
     to up from her bus seat set off sparks...

 that ignited flames of Civil Rights movement.
     'Twas a legendary, watershed moment!

Art Museum I

With children in tow 
on winter’s heels set off to
follow fine artists 
Lovingly lost in copper,
canvas, bright color 
framboise, tanager, yarrow 
Picasso, Beckmann, Klimt
Woman with a Hat, Nighthawks
haunting, surreal …
Writing, painting, tones
sculpting, gazing, trudging on
weary, fulfilled, homeward bound …

Fire

The alarms set off
ringing louder and louder
until smoke fills the room
no longer able to breathe
i set myself in the corner
flames rise above me
of both orange and yellow
screaming for help, sobbing
and gasping for crisp clean air
i run right through the clouds,
burst out the door
to find it was all just a dream

Ego

i am a burden on myself
I need to set off to be light
Or leave myself on a shore

The light falls upon me
Too rusty and dusty
To clean things up
On me I need to focus upon

The burden I carry
Me, myself and I
I need to slow down
Or drag myself out

Time is there
But too immature
I need to shed me
To find a cure .

Flying with a broken wing

Across the sky at end of day

I watched as birds set off home

 to roost. Straight home with no doubt

Direct through pink flush sky but look

One bird at the back desperate

Flapping double time to keep up 

 With the confident the strong the bold.

Oh dear bird with broken wing

You are the bravest of the lot.
