Short Zings Poems

Zebra is not the odd one at all
In tales of adventure so springy and tall
In the land of the wishy swisher kings
The zebra is zippy, kind of one of the zings....

Hey, hey, hey, hear what I'm gonna say
The world is round and I'm definitely gay
Well happy? You betcha!
But in my operetta
My arrow zings straight for that target risque...

A satirical look at the world can really be uncool 
It's a vice held to scorn, derision, and ridicule
If we avoid this affliction
There's much less friction
Life zings along and our troubles seem minuscule...

Zigzag threads overlap
  Zip zap tracker aligns
      Zesty and shiny, too
          Zings along the backside 
      Zany patterns excite
   Zazzy razzle dazzle
Zenith night on the town.

At Blitzen’s Christmas Dances Everyone Fields Glances
However, It Just Keeps Lecherous Men’s Nuances
Out Pacing Quietly Reserved Shy Things
Until Vodka Wields Xmas Yuletide Zings

Arctic bubbles caressing dusk,

evanescent froths  gather hearts

illuminating jeweled kisses; lovers

making nudges of pleasure quietly…

razzle-dazzle! Snowdrops twinkle upon

vibrant winter  xeroxing youthful zings!

Boots can be recycled for many things
This one was Daddy’s and it kind of zings
Reminding me of all the days I spent watching him rebuild a car
I tried walking in them when I was four, but did not get very far.
Now my twin sister has his left boot, and I have utilized his right.
I keep paintbrushes in mine, hers I think she keeps out of sight....

Meditating with a candle.
The answers came quickly
Into my heart
Landing with zings
Confident knowings

I had no idea how I knew
But there was an absolute certain knowing
So clear, concise and accurate
That it could not be shaken

I began to plan, to plot, to create
Energy rejuvenated,
Feeling alive again
Meditating with a candle
My kind of prayer...

Oh freshly baked Persian lamb
wet lips smooching meat
dipped in lemon pulp
all tongues licking chops
as berry sauce  zings
on plates  cleared, dish all wiped out 
such festive treat
a cheat day
YUM!

She rails at unseen whisperers,
un-wrappers of gooey carmels.
Her hat is high and so am I,
drunk on her liederkranz chanel.

I imagine a well-placed apple
replacing her feathered chapeau.
An unpracticed William Tell zings
her headless with his bow.

Clever subtitles explain the plot.
The score sets an ominous tone.
Things are fine till next to me sits
a girl wearing limburger cologne.
