Short Too Hot To Handle Poems

There was a young man named Randall
Who's willy resembled a candle
Just last night
His wife set it alight
And now it's too hot too handle!...

a balmy evening
sweating out rivers of heat ~
sun glares in silence

too hot to handle
sounds of summer pierce the sky ~
cicada chorus

stars at night too hot — to handle
sizzling their light can't hold — a candle

There once was a man from Warangal
who stirred up quite a big scandal,
He loved a good girl gone bad
She was the best he yet had,
So was shunned as a hardcore vandal.

Fingers on keyboard music in the ear;
Wishes too hot to handle recently seared  
Black light lighting extrapolating words
Pleasures deny most of what is heard.
       Searching for extraction;
       Lost in a maze of our own distraction;
       Things once done things once said;
       Perhaps it’s make believe some may dread...

Autumn moon moods taunt my soul
as satirical jazz rocks locked, untold
gory stories of defeat, retreating soulless
untold joys, imploding screams unblest.

As a season, I reason stages of reproach,
storms of normalcy, winds of encroached
feelings reeling to hot to handle scandal
remissed, unkissed; insistent rare mantels....

a candle’s flame moves
in the breeze from the window –
her gaze lowers

the sizzling dish
is presented, white chicken –
salsa, red and green

a margarita
wide mouthed, salted and chilled –
her laughter rises

silverware moonlit
stands out against the red cloth –
a knife is dropped 

Mexican coffee
arrives a two tone mixture –
too hot to handle...

Harry James Potter
hero of the world
wonder of the universe
and angel sent from Heaven...

Harry James Potter
love of my life
prize of the patronus
and highlight of Hogwarts...

Harry James Potter
precious-est of all princes
almost too hot to handle
but always true to my heart...

Harry James Potter, you...
Are my dream come true!...

An only child, actress, singer, nightclub entertainer
Jayne Mansfield.
Her movie Too Hot to Handle made sense to the people who knew her.
A tomato, lightning, a bonfire, married and divorce numerous times.
She loved her five children and kept her Playboy playmate figure.
Dying in a car crash in New Orleans at the young age of thirty-four.
She lived as if she knew she was running out of time....

She warms me to the core. 
She caress me, brings a glow to my cheeks.
I move closer I want her so near.
She's not an old flame she's all mine.
I have a burning desire to be close.
Is she too hot to handle. 
Her smouldering beauty entrances me.
She's fiery but I'm not afraid.
What a scorching beauty she is. 
Now I'm struggling she's red hot. 
I'm just melting in front of her .
oh,  how I love a naked flame on a log fire.

Climate Change (My Calipus form)
[a-b-c-b   d-b-d   1st stanza 7 syls / line; 2nd stanza 8 syls / line] 
---------------------------------

We talk of global warming
Nature turning on the heat
The earth is cracked and blistered
Our mistakes hard to delete.

A potato hot to handle!
The Messiah we need entreat.
For a start let’s turn to Handel!
