Short Unflappable Poems

patience waits like a kite-
                                    to and fro in silent flight...

Stars seem to twinkle yet
remain unflappable until
they reincarnate as massive
points of blackness - or so
they seem to be......

to remain unflappable,
    neither turn your face
        to the left nor right...

gin joint ginger
I had heard of her of course
we all had

but we thought she was fictitious
when we saw the barkeep’s face we knew better

He is usually unflappable
tonight he could barely speak

she had taken his heart
and his tongue it seems...

Hate is a feast for crows. Feast your eyes, instead, on love.
—by poet

Singsong of Spring

Caw of unseen crow and chorus
of potentially pretty wings.

Singsong may have interrupted
the murder - melody was sweet.

Tweeting torques communication;
hate fades with unflappable faith.

Black sheep, white sheep,
Unflappable sheep, 
They graze the high grass,
And appease all my demons.

Black sheep, white sheep,
Countless sheep, 
They graze the grass divinely
And appease all my WORRIES.

Black sheep, white sheep
Disbelieving sheep,
They eat the grass, magically,
Ease all my anxiety....

robust lyrics
winged-voices blest without angst
no pressers
pleasure and glory of God
winged-voices soar without war

a morning score
no bombs, no television
unflappable peace
no reporters in trees
paparazzi unheard of

joy of joining
in the singalong-chirping
with lovely weather
no choppers to ruin tweets
the twilight birds asleep

Lighthouse

Time on the ocean uninspired  
The lighthouse beams immortalized
Reaching out forever, tranquility
Holding sky, sea, unencumbered 

Keepers watch gradual gravitation's 
Storm Forces, the ingredients 
The elements congregate, obedience
Lighthouse walls definable, unflappable 



Created by: Earl Schumacker on 9/23/13 for Lighthouse- Poetry contest...

His favorite protegee
Mentors her day by day
You are his curious delight 
You're always affable
And so unflappable
Yes you're his favorite acolyte

Though your aura's sacred chic
Radiating cool mystique
Your life story does bespeak
Constant fight

His patronage for your art
Remains for you're his dear heart
Shine favorite protegee shine
Rejoice that your lives intertwine...

Grace under pressure
Unflappable class
Overtones of elegance
Strength of brass.

Tending splendid gardens
Where laughter and fun
Sprout as if native
In the warmth of her sun.

Incensed by thoughtless actions
Yet steady in her mood
Mixing sweet persuasion
With wisdom for food.

A Virgo mom’s a blessing
For one raised in her nest
So just today this Taurus says
That Virgo is the best!...

She is so miminy-piminy she never gets mad
Nellie is too persnickety to ever act bad
We try to rile her, hoping to make her cry
Why? She asks us with concern, why cousin, why?

Because you are unflappable, too perfect I say
You make the rest of us look like slackers most of the day
Can’t you ever be mean, hit someone or sing a sad song?
You simply do not fit in with us rascals, you do not belong...

It's all in my eyes
What you see is no disguise

My intent is so sincere
I'm aiming and shooting without fear

My energy is indefatigable
I can meet night with day and still be excitable

In the midst of storms, I'm unflappable
My level of stoicism is masterful

I'm peering
and I'm steering
I'm honing
and I'm toning
I'm leveling
and I'm not settling

This is MY FOCUS
And this is no hocus pocus...

Our loud and proud spanking new sixth grade student named Tony Maloy,
Had bragged about being from the island of exotic St. Croix.
He brazenly came late into McD’s classroom, screaming, “AHOY!”
Our teacher rolled his blue eyes, and under his breath whispered, “oh,joy.”
We became instant friends as I knew he was going to be a really fun boy.
Because quite frankly, unflappable Mr. Duckbill is rather hard to annoy....

Our friend was unflappable,
regardless of what happened.
She handled every trial
smoothly—without weary sighs.

We considered her our guide,
and she coached us through hard times,
like a well-trained therapist,
this unique friend we cherished.

We saw how focused on self
we’d been when SHE asked for help—
advice! Now we’re equal, each 
with strength all the others seek.


My FIRST Englyn, placed 5th of seven in Beth Evans's contest in June 2020...

As The Crow Flies

Staring past the curtain,
At the vigilant crow upon the mast,
The creature unaware of a presence,
In a moment forever lost.

Unflappable in its endeavour,
A breather from its hunt,
A distorted view of the world,
Its cackle alerting its murder..... of its next tenacious stunt!

Unperturbed by darkness,
Its itinerary meticulous, movement, stealth like,
As day gives way to darkness,
A sky drifting magenta decline
