Short Smirked Poems

Slick little Billy Willy
Smirked at Silly Hilly
Thinking they’d have fun
When the school days done
Playing house at Auntie Milly’s...

My thoughts had been drowned. 
smirked as I laid on the floor 
seal was in her purse.

Clairvoyant cat stared at the tarot spread
He had not expected this, but here it was
His owner did not understand the tarot
He smirked, keeping the bad news to himself...

Would not be lady like
I smirked 
Would be unmannerly
I snorted
Milk came out my nose
I farted my way across the floor into the living room
where my potential date was instantly horrified...

Trump picked up and roared, "How ya do-in,' Chump?" --

Janey Jane ran around with Rocky Rock
Ohh was he handsome, the girls did they flock
Swiftly, Jane’s hair she did cut
Kay ran, laughing off her butt
Jane then smirked, as Kay fell from the dock

It’s cold
It snowed
I shivered
I shoveled
A Solstice sun
Silently smirked
Iridescent icicles
Licked their lips
A crunch of crusted snow
Battled the scritch of shovels
Headless snowmen
Wandered in wonder
I shoveled
I shivered
It snowed
It’s cold

I am scared of vengeance. 

From those who smirked at my innocence. 

I am curious about redemption. 

Which I hope will cure my temptation. 

To unravel that cage. 

That carries souls that feel rage. 

And we will upend. 

Those guardians of which our sanity depends....

Tres Chic


She thought she was tres chic.
He...utterly debonair.
They walked about the planet.
Consumed in ego air!

They smirked at lesser beings
So cultured, they!
Humility an unknown virtue.
Their family kept at bay!

Before visiting Dublin town,
I got out the guidebooks
Staring at the crooks and valleys
Studied the terrain, figured out the contour lines
What are you doing? The other travelers asked.
Figuring out where the pot of gold is, of course.
They smirked at my ignorance, not realizing how close I was to come....

In the Pocket


For years Nana begged for a holiday 
But pop's only passion was Faraday
He failed to do the math
Created a psychopath
She smirked, "Give my regards to Hemingway."





(Pocket: Some surfers call this the energy zone and it can be identified as the steepest point in the wave.)...

FALLING IN LOVE

drew a crosshatch smile on albino —
ghostly, it smirked deliciously.
its orange flesh and seeds rent.
a lover’s pie baking —
sensual weapon.
birthstones become
the pumpkin’s
opal
eyes.

That child,
looking like flowered rose,
had a rose in hand,
he smirked,
he smelled,
he shook,
and the crook,
finally wrung,
it all,
to smithreens,
with petals,
and sepals,
all strewn,
and flowery powder,
all smeared,
in his gory hands,
did he like the flower,
or the destruction more,
his story narrated all,
in the flowery gore....

Beside him, tremulous and dazed
he smirked and said
you are voluptuous
in that dark retreat of silence
beside you,
passion poured from lips into mine
the agony of a foolish heart.
a flame in his eyes
A sin in his arms
O Neel! How could I know what I did?
the red wine lushing in the glass
his breath hot and fiery
I sinned in his arms...!...

Very early on a Monday morning 
Just before the morning salute
With pillow between the thighs
And head with blank wonders 
Dreamt of her in miles
The unknown colour of light
That would shine joy to this heart...
The cock crowed as I stumble upon life again
I smirked and wondered why not dream of success 
Then I remember the end game is happiness....

The lamb cried
The egg fried
The man worked
A woman smirked 

The leaf fell
The merchant will sell
The lady cooked
The trembling girl shook
The bird.squawked
A woman walked 

A dog barked
A car parked
A tired shopper
A long skirt is proper 

The wind whistled
The bell indicated dismissal
The sun shone in the midst of winter
A boy cried because of a splinter...

The chickadees need a little Christmas mirth
Stated an empathetic kind elf named McGirth
He decorated a tiny tree for them.
They accepted it and sang a Christmas carol hymn.

How do you know it was a carol? His brother said.
He speaks chickadee, smirked his cousin Fred.
He speaks kindness, stated his mother, Buttercup.
His heart is in the right place, he brings everyone up....

THE WORLD: A RING

Oh, thou world is a ring
And you oh fate, a boxer
I only a contender
With my milky teeth 

Thou smirked at my ignorance
But now with bread grown
Thou two have given me thou hard’st blows
My fans now fed up

They draw postcards of my waterloo
However, I have fallen
From a blow like Tyson’s
Melting like gold refined

I shall not fail to rise
At least rise to fail...

waning wits smirked
vying voluptuous verge
meagre mood metamorphose
saucy spell's sauce
hoisted hankerings hummed
pruning punctured pukes

dark dribbles dazed
rusty reels raved
rusticating riff's creates

lanky lusts birthed
callous crisps cremated
crunched crescendos hibernated

crumbling contractions cruised
bursting busty bruise.

Steampunk cat gentleman was dressed up at nine.
Dapper, distinguished, handsome, in every way fine.
You would make a fine date for any feline.
Said my aunt Tootsie, who lived in the Rhine.

Fifty years ago, she told him, I would have made you mine.
He jumped up and ran off, without a whimper or whine.
You scared him! Said her nieces, whose faces did shine.
Tootsie smirked at her joke, feeling happy and fine....

KP or laundry duty? The captain asked me.
KP I said.
Laundry duty it is, he replied with a smirk.

At least the Navy recruiter had never smirked.
You will travel to exotic places he lied.
You will learn new languages. Joining the Navy is great!

So far I have been to Detroit and New York City.
Neither exotic.
I have learned no languages but a few new swear words.
And now I am in charge of laundry. 
Big whoop!...

What do you call him?
My cousin Gertie smirked a bit. You go first, she said.
We call him blue-eyed-stare-boy
I call him the weirdy cat.
He is a distant cousin.
Comes to our family reunion once a year.
Never speaks.
We have tried and tried.
I do not think he ever blinks Gertie said.
I don’t think he knows English, I said.
Distant cousin did not waste time with either of us.
Did not speak and did not want to.
Giving us both the creeps....

if mankind ever comprehends everything ~ there will be nothing left 

sighs god to satan i’ll be outed ~ and you can wave goodbye to theft

well i’m a psychopath smirked satan ~ so exempt from feeling bereft 

yeah your greatest weakness said god ~ unable to bear genuine heft

and so creation burst forth ~ perfectly poised from that opening cleft 

it simply had to turn out this way ~ no matter how f#cked up or deft
