Short Wheezed Poems

wheezed lungs of  bare trees

panting against tight winds---

breath of moon dilates...

''Ho ho ho' wheezed old Santa Claus
Wrapping around his head with gauze
He filled up with whisky 
Took behaviour risky 
And then fell foul of drinking laws

Wedding tradition of carrying the bride over the threshold

He wheezed and gasped, his body bathed in sweat,
Remembered months of training at the gym -
And strained again, he wasn’t beaten yet...
She eyed the threshold, sighed - and carried him!...

I watched as she dusted and sneezed;
'It's worthless, I'm certain,' she wheezed.
I thought I'd be rich -
oh, life is a b.tch!
(My desk got a clean, so I'm pleased...)

Thunder growls beneath  fired sky
Crackling its way down  street wires
As booms pound on our ceiling.

Forceful winds roughen wheezed  noise
In a pitch quite deafening
While we  huddle together;

Enjoying silent movies.

The tree was wracked with age, disease
  her branches missing bark and leaves
Chill rains attacked -- it coughed, it wheezed
  Resistance gone, what good to grieve

Once tall and stately, proud to be
  the loveliest of maple trees
Her sap flowed rich throughout the Fall
  Delicious treat for one and all

So sad to see a landmark die
  Enough to make a grown man cry

Oh me! Oh my!
I think I'm going to die!
I bumped my head,
I'll soon be dead!
Oh me, oh me, oh my!

Oh dear! Oh dear!
I know my end is near!
I coughed, I sneezed,
and then I wheezed!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

What's that you say?
I'm going to be okay?
You haven't heard
a single word.
I'm at death's door today!

when she doesn't feel well)

...and the warnings rang strong
...and the cauldron wheezed
...and the magma lapped at strapping branches,
genetically equipped, with a passion,
for protecting the bulb
...and the poet rhymed on

...and the emperor, Nero, has resurfaced
...and the swinging, singing, stinging swarm 
cycled back

...and the funk of it reached fecal proportions,
surpassing sweetness of rotting racoons
on the roadside 
...and the poet rhymed on....
