Short Wheeze Poems

Trees Oh Trees
You help us
breathe
but you also
make us
wheeze and
sneeze...

Sun and moon darken,
Smothered by phosphoric cloud,
Wheeze, thunder out loud....

not even dew appears
on heated glass...

rain lilies emerge
pink blossoms draw bees to feed....

A fine breeze 
Too cold but I wheeze
My chest is squeezing 
Let me breathe some air before I seize
Grind to a halt and freeze

The Malls are filled with Christmas trees
And every one will make me sneeze
No frosty spray
Will save the day
Zealots dub it, "Lumberjack Wheeze"....

Love bananas with my puffies
Makes me squirm in my undies
Wanna climb trees
But it makes me wheeze
Guess I'll just get back to my guppies...

I ache from my nose to my knees;
I sniffle and snuffle and wheeze.
A small tot of rum
might settle my tum,
but what should I take for a sneeze?

Old man mushroom sat in the middle of the trees
Feeling the power of the April winds and breeze
It tickled his coat, made him cough and wheeze
He loved his place, where the winds did tease.

This day of Autumn shivered
And then did sneeze.
A thousand gold-leafed foiling
Of birch, beech spilt.

Soon, and colder, will it be
Known for its wheeze.
What from off each bough, dance-frozed
Spooks finch's lilt....

It’s a nasty disease.
Infection spreads by sneeze.
If you get it, you’ll wheeze.
Intense fever and chills,
Illness that sometimes kills.

Injected with vaccine,
Immunity is seen.

I rise each morning chomping at the bit,
because allergies are giving me a near fit.
As I blow, and I sneeze,
I breathe with a wheeze,
I’m glad it’s nothing that I can transmit.

A nose malady
autumn smells of burning leaves
inhalers handy
smoky trails wind heavenward,
‘midst sneezes I wheeze a word

Smokeless inhales hurt.
I cough tar on my shirt.
As my black lungs breathe,
Shrilling exhales wheeze.

Cabrona
Falls me
Down to
My knees.

The nicotine cracks
My will.
My composure
Spills.

I want 
This.
I must 
Have this.

I sink
Into
The brink
Of madness....

At dusk one remembers
the bleak solitude
of sunless clouds and dark sea;
in mid-altitude
winds lash them and wheeze...
as trees are being drenched with   
the cold tears of clouds.

There once was an old car that was quite spry,
It had creaky joints and a sputtering sigh.
Its engine would wheeze
On the road, with such ease
Yet, if I now had such car, I would be pleased
Newer models are no match for a car of that batch
A real classic- though rusty-'neath the sky!...

Variscite and seraphinite scythes slice the upper spheres with precision,
As their blades rub their rainbow ribbons in the boreal breeze,
Their surgical incisions of incandescent crystals cauterize the carnelian excisions,
Letting breathe once more the solar winds which whistle in its throaty wheeze....

On the precipice of a dream,
Thirty years in the making,
I have a wheeze in my chest,
And my breathe says "Chu Cha. Chu Cha"
And I wonder whether God will take me home before I get to see my dream come true.
And then I realize, heaven is a dream too!!!
Chu Cha, Chu Cha, Chu Cha, Chu Cha, Chu Cha, Ahh!!!...

What is life, but the whisper of a dream?
Or is it a nightmare,
And we're caught in the scene?
Our limbs won’t obey,
As we try to break free.
And what can we do,
When we can't even breathe?
Our breath frozen in our lungs,
As we continue to wheeze.
And we fall down dead,
But wait...life is but a dream....

All glow 'tween the stratosphere
Underneath, among the breeze 
I am shining about the air stream
Amazingly calm among the dream 
Crying delicately with a wheeze 

Pure horizon ahead
A gentle wind be as yet 
As the wisp sings in the sunset
All shivering underneath the blow 
Wind is thy love-melody mellow...

   First, He stripped me of my knees
     Thank the Lord, I didn’t wheeze  

   Then He robbed me of my sight
     I thanked the Lord for the peaceful night

   Next my hearing dimmed
     I thanked the Lord for gossip trimmed

   And when my mind began to go
     I thanked Him for what I didn’t know

With my plucky granddaughter, I'm ne'er bored.
She saunters at connate emblems and depth.
And the way the fay sway with her.
Five-year-old darts on slight span.
Brilliant, brittle crane drum,
Tall, hefty gist sight,
Pitch in limns burns.
With swish rifts.
Wingbeats
wheeze....
