Short Slurps Poems

my  dog slurps and burps
naps on my lap
sheds hair on the chair
licks my face, no grace...

tears of heaven fall
mother earth sighs and slurps them ~
       her intense thirst quenched

A blind poet stumbles into a bar
Counts the number of drunk patrons there are
   Adds up all the burps
   Plus all the loud slurps
Drives them home in his brand-new sports car...

Cicada chirps
Cold soda pop slurps
Summertime is in the air.

Chasing fireflies at night
Honey bees in flight
Summertime is in the air.

Front porch talks
Beach-combing walks
Summertime is in the air....

the robin hops and
 glides over grasses early 
morn waiting to part

head bobbing neck stretch
take of the wet silky worm
robin slurps worm up

Where the gulls scoop droplets
where the wind falters on gold wheat crown
Where slivers of interference spit as rain
Where echo hops from stone to stone
where sound slurps on melting ice
Where we wear the were and ware
Where
Where
In here...

All the baby chicks
From their shells do spring
I’ve seen so many pics
A smile they do bring

Then there are the pups
Wagging little tails
Slurps from puppy cups
Yipping little wails

"God sends pets without wings so no one will suspect they are angels ..."  Unkown

Angels come in all sizes
Never knowing when they will appear
Great fur coats to wear
Every day and night of the year
Love will spread their wings
Slurps and hugs forever more...

I don't really p[ay with fire
It just slurps at skin until
it takes what it needs
burns until i feel
looking at an upside down clock
in the bevel of a spoon
playing peek-a-boo
with the clouds and moon
soon just a backward noose
Hangi

-------g to the truth
we are ird...

Carla, has broken teeth.
So many she couldn't eat.
Cavities, sores on gums, 
breath that smells; People would run!
She heard many conversations 
about her terrible mouth.
She went to the dentist
to have them remove out.
Now, she slurps Homemade Soup and
Relax in her Chair Of No Doubt....

Leroy
Cowboy

Rode horse
Of course

His hoss
Named Ross

Ropes steers
Slurps beers

Slouch hat
Flaunts gat

Wears boots
No suits

Eats beans
Wears jeans

Raised hell
Pell-mell

What's more
He swore

Has gal
Named Sal

To pub
For grub

They dance
Romance

They kiss
Pure bliss

Gets slopped
Fun stopped

Big brawl
(That's all)...

Off the beaten track
red dirt roads,
backwoods cracker country.

She is drunk
and fist fighting her ma.
The old man has pissed his pants
and don't care;
he slurps his cooler beer.

The drunk fat girl
grabs a crow bar
ma hefts a shotgun.

A yellow hound opens one eye
then falls asleep again.
The sun shines bright all day.

So far, just another Sunday....

Stan Laurel
thinks he can sing in reality he warbles
His best buddy Hardy slaps him quiet
Before he can start another riot.

Oliver Hardy
Is usually farty so he abstains from drink
Gormless Laurel slurps Manhattans all night
Warbling and singing without stage fright.

She is feeding her hedgehog a dandelion brew.
We do not interrupt her until she is through.
How does he like it? We ask as he slurps.
See for yourself she says, as he gives some loud burps.

Persnickety hedgehog says, “Why don’t you ask me yourself?”
I scoot myself a bit farther back on the oak limb’s magical shelf.
Don’t be shy! The hedgehog says. Any more questions for me?
I try to pretend I am one with the tree....

Life sucks.
Plucks you from your mother's belly
Weans, silks your skin, 
Fondly toys with you 
and grows you.

Life sucks.
Slyly beguiles you 
To mate, create,
Spit out your genes.
In moments of sin or folly.

Life sucks.
Soon, too soon, it pounces.
And plays a while,
Scratches out your eyes,
Crumples your bones.

Life Sucks.
Finally tiring of you
Life licks out your soul 
With greedy slurps,
Smacks its lips, then burps!...

While planning which sermons to miss
the fiction-broker static lies
atop a pine-strewn precipice,
his peristalsis boiling skies.

The tumult teething down beneath
the fiction-broker's solvent sighs
concerns the crumbled ashen wreath,
whose burning so the priest denies.

As lanterns light procession tips
sadistic laughs combine with cries;
the fiction-broker slurps his lips
at thoughts of those he does despise.

Eats soup and slurps
   Drinks beer and burps
In sinks he spits
   His toothbrush, the pits

His socks have holes
   His shoes, no soles
His shirts are faded
   His wardrobe's dated
  
I've heard him curse
   His grammar's worse
Thinks a compliment
   Is a bad accident

His smiles don't last
   His heyday's passed
His health's not great
   He's overweight...

But he's my husband
   And I dearly love him      
Like me, he's perfect    
   That's why we clicked!...
