Short Ticked Poems

By the time
 the game dial
  ticked its last tock

Clemson had punched
  Notre Dame's clock...

While, you read this
Your tock, has already ticked
Your ship, has docked
And, already sailed....

For a ticked off woman, she’s refreshingly brief;
    a quick, punctuated rage is her leitmotif....

Let me say, she was awfully ticked

She cursed me out in poetic form
Afraid I'll forever feel her scorn!...

And yelled at it to get out of here
So the pesky runt
Crawled around front
And took a long walk on a short pier...

She promised to keep her mouth shut, okay?

Ticked off Miss Caylor

Went for a haircut, forgot to say “a trim”
Nearly got scalped, ticked me off to the brim
Kids yelled wahoo
Big rocks I threw
Next time I'll tear 'em apart limb by limb...

She waited by the window
Watched each and every car
Excited his car would be next
That he wasn't far

Cars came and went
Time ticked slowly by
His car never came
Sadness fell from her eyes...

Fast-handed Harry was a renowned pick-pocket
He could grab a wallet with the speed of a rocket.
One day while doing some picking
A suicide bomber’s bomb was ticking.
Where once was Harry there’s now a socket....

the clock ticked slower
in the time of the roses
and saffron sunshine

such chills many thrills
before time gained momentum
in forever fields

lime green foliage
and cerulean blue skies
the gone days recalled...

little boxes ticked
delete button selected
memories erased

the good and the bad
no longer retrievable
new memories made

forgive and forget
no words left to remind me
will my heart forget?

Supporters Poor President Did Pick

As usual what we probably would predict,
Trump was angry and off had been ticked;
As we all feared,
Coin with him appeared;
And a poor president supporters did pick.

The sleigh is empty
The list is ticked
It’s back to base
Double quick

Mrs. Claus is waiting
To greet me
Fidgeting around
Quite excitedly

The bags are packed
And in the sleigh
We’re off to Florida
For a holiday...

My Claws Were Nicked

Remember when my claws were nicked,
And then some other ones I had picked;
He was scratched,
By claws attached;
As usual again Trump off was ticked.

Trump thinks he is a saint,
Which he sure as heck ain't.

Have Been Trigger Happy

Has been know to have a horse named Trigger;
Actually is happy because his horse is bigger;
A blatant lie,
Will pass by;
Was ticked off after being bitten by a chigger.

Oh how I would give the soul of me
Could I turn back the clock set free
To reach out and find you here
Oh what I'd give for yesteryear
But too much time has ticked away
Ending dreams from yesterday
Recalling you,  I kneel to pray

Driving smoothly
Down the road
Peaceful and free
Nowhere to go
To my right I see
I semi coming closer
No signal if you please
And over he goes
Right in front of me
Just inches away
I steam up senselessly
I burn inside, no way
Did he just do that
Oh, I’m so ticked off...

Long before the clocks ticked,
  the garden was burning

The law had been laid down,
   only the animals ran free

Long before the clocks ticked,
  two lovers were yearning

The power, the struggle
 —the lust to deceive

Three senryu for free education

a right provided
like a prized jewel
free education

a few boxes ticked
to keep the voters happy

a bone to toss for
hungry dogs to fight over
free education

The lonely shadow let go of its hand
to let life feel the caress of the morn;
as the clock’s arms ticked in rhythm’s command.

The daybreak’s light hugged the scent not forlorn
and the zephyr’s fragrance when it was born;
The romance so soft and sweet to the ear
was felt by the earth in gladness and cheer....

Love came to call...
I let her in, singing while she lingered.
She made me smile, with her promises of
Happy tomorrows, then she ticked my
Senses with soft whispers, raising my
Sleeping spirit.
The room filled with my laughter...
Before I realized it, I was happy again,
Loves promises fulfilled!

Past dweller healed by time
Second hand ticked, curse expunged
A fellow, awaits on twelve
As arrived, nightmare has fallen
