Short Vocab Poems

Gandalf, my parrot
   Your babble is ludicrous 
      Please SHUT THE HELL UP!


* Written for my beloved African grey parrot, Gandalf.
Has an incredibly huge vocab- but will never stay quiet!

Every lingo does evolve,
We borrow words, I'm told,
I have croissant, pizza and latte,
Pen pal in Beirut, I might say,
I live in Woollomooloo, 
Where we parrot like cockatoos,
Now it's all English vocabulary,
Evolving to send overseas,
E-languages, you see!...

Words Gone Rag

what a pity
how absurd
college grads have lost their words
latent grammar
dead vocab
grab at every
prep they have

don't know what the trouble is...
at computers they can whiz

don't know what will happen next----
whatever it is
will be found
in text...

HAIKU #12,049-12,052


When I write haiku
My mind in spa called Iris
And I am in charge

My body seem poised
Like personal trainer firm
As muscles of mine

Reward is in thoughts
I'll own like a work of art
Bidding me to bid

I want to be toned
By fresh colorful visions
With vocab of worth.

I
The non-American word "Saviour"
Appeared in a word puzzle, vocab-builder
Includes letters that spell VISA
As players unscramble letters, & Scrabble away!

II
"SaviOUR" includes "our" destiny, the future
Anyway (You & I), yes, "U & I" spell SAVIOR
This chance finding was a blessing to me
Check it out, SPELL-power, always "USA"...

She put my note to you
Under your vocab book,
right before recess...

And that’s when my friend told  me 
You thought that I was strange,
But that you didn’t mean it in a bad way...
and that a small smile flashed on your face...

I laughed
saw you playing basketball,
Your brown-blond hair flying in all 
directions...
I thought about the note...

And now I’m sitting in class...
Awaiting....

When I failed to pass 
Out from Communism class
It was my poor Marx.

Which dinosaur has  
A rich vocab to help us?
Why, a thesaurus.  

Spread across all world, 
A shepherd-less Indian herd,
Reservations unheard. 

I badly needed
That job as bakery aid,
And dough was kneaded.

In your middle-age,
O worry not of old age,
Turn over the page.

Hello I am Single
So my introduction will only take a minute
Well lets open some champagne while we are at it
Feel free to smile I am Single.

I am one with myself
I am opening all shelves
All protecting shells have been broken
No harsh word hasn't been spoken.

Like birds during summer feel free
Commitment is out of my vocab
I won't charge you I"m free
While you at it... here is a herb.

I am Single
I am one with myself
Oh and my herb.
Oh no! I need help....
