Short Shockingly Poems

Rick was an ineptly clad lad
whose wardrobe was shockingly bad.
The he got a sweetheart 
with taste like a fine art
who converted him from plain to plaid....

There once was a man whose big gain
of weight was now shockingly plain.
When he went for a dip
all the others would quip,
“Let's land on him, claim him for Spain!”

I had been running after a sky, 
and by a very fast fly, 
I stood above it sprightly, 
shockingly 
when it was falling into the earth. 
Now I am in the high sphere 
but my sky is 
degradingly down to the world....

Making uneven faces as you sit displeased 
Something unsweet has you sour
With adoration.I try to console 
Beginning to hold, shockingly pushed away
What has become of us?
The navigators have become lost 
This quest has changed us dramatically...

I am not contempt with the facile.
Your one-piece ideas are too docile.

I like structures that hover,
A life with the soul of dozens.

Omnidirectional Shepard tones
that reverberate through one's bones.

Though to you I bear enmity...
You are not my real enemy....

Gently probing her vulnerabilities
     seeking only the slightest advantage
   He parries her feints most delicately
     awaiting an opening to do some damage...
 
   When she, shockingly, reveals a secret so deep
     then casts aside his sword to weep
   and declare: A man who jousts with a lady fair
     is mete to unseat in her heart's affairs...

t flits gracefully,
freely,meekly,beautifully,
so high into the sky,

capturing your attention,
mesmerizing not to mention,
in all its glorious perfection,
earning all your affection,

without a warning,
without a trace,
it goes,
and you are left without nothing,
wavering and lingering,

realizing shockingly
that the butterfly effect has effected......

Ubiquitous Dream

The dream seems
Ubiquitous
Solid and moving
With many boundaries
Many depths
Many interconnections..
No escape from the dream
It is dreamed..
Everything solid and
Imagined
Nighttime and daytime..
Yet a dream of nothing
Is another dream of 
Not knowing or
Emptiness..may seem
Shockingly 
Paradoxically
Indescribably  
Immediately 
Ubiquitous......

reaching, at a stretch
shockingly, still casting a shadow
still holding form
it's too much to take in
nothing can be held, only passed through
perhaps shaped by the knowing
more likely picked clean of peace
I was never within, never
within that eye to eye tethered stare
once you've seen, you can't look away
what kind of life is that/this
waiting: until I'm in the ground again...

The others




Amazing new house
and two little kids
that my husband left,
Losing life to war
yet wait him return.

Scared of some sounds
shadows of souls
My daughter could see
through day and night.

They were five,
Haunted house?
Shockingly,

Not they,
Dead were

We!

Caught red-pawed 
in the refrigerator;
with missing milk,
by a man called, Gator.

Guilt was written
all over his face,
this feline by whom
the milk was displaced.

He claimed he’d been mugged
locked in by a milk thief
but, saying a fairy did it,
was beyond belief.

He was caught red-pawed,
a clear guilty verdict;
pronounced by Gator,
and shockingly quick.

My eighteen yeared daughter
living and dreaming with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,
As she grows up and out
hopes to become

"An old princess
with long purple hair
living in a GroupHome."

I'm not sure if this indicates
I did a shockingly good
or alarmingly bad
job as a thirteen-year dad
with positive therapeutic intent.

Until she smiles,
looks up at the blue-grey sky
with unimagined delight....

THORNS          
Saw    a   flower   on   a   dung   heap  ,
Rose _ petal    delicate ,    graceful     like    a    queen
Swinging   proudly    on    a    barbed   wire    fence
Among    her     rough     slum- dwelling     friends  ,
Suddenly  ,   shockingly  ,   shedding   all    grace
She   spat    such    vituperative    fire
At   her   enemy - friend
That   it    dispelled   all    my   fears
She   had     thorns  ,
Her   tools   for    survival  ....

A Gentleman made his reservation in Heaven
  Who had donated millions to Charity
Stood up to Bigotry and Oppression
  Fought for Justice unrelentingly

As fine a man as ever you'd meet 
  No smidgen of impropriety --
Though behind closed doors 
  He'd routinely mistreat
  The members of his family

The angelic tribunal examined his deeds
  And found them shockingly lacking
Thanks to an amicus brief that God chose to read
  ~ Wherein his wife and children sent him packing...
