In the hierarchy of All Things
If everything is everything
And love is love
Then food is food
Which is good news
To the fine young cannibals
Who live down the block
I can smell their barbecue
Grilling sweet meats all afternoon
What is it I ask,
Long pig they reply
Clearly it is not my job to judge
But I will politely decline
Their smiling potluck invites

BOAT
BOAT
floats on
swift water
childhood adventure
that cheers up now,as then
the memories of the past
"The memories of golden years"
Just A Pinch of Crazy
She was just a little girl
With big blue eyes
And she dreamed everyday
Of touching the sky.
The world watched her grow
And become a lady
A fearless woman
With just a pinch of crazy.
Her music touches the hearts
Of the young and old
Creating a relationship
That is inspiring and bold.
She doesn't carry bad blood
For those who bully her
She just fills the blank spaces
And leaves them in a blur.
With a pinch of crazy
She sings a love story
And after years of searching
Her lover becomes her glory.
Every word she writes
Becomes a part of a song
Every song she writes
Makes her reputation strong.
Haters are gonna hate
And say mean things
But she just shakes it off
And continues to sing.
How speedy yet sweet the swift
how slow and sleepy the sloth
how creepy crawly the caterpillar
metamorphosing into a moth
how flutters by the butterfly
how groaning grumbly the grouse
how caterwauly the cat
wailing at night outside the house
how snips when shears the snipe
how doggedly dogs the dog
how hops skips and jumps
the tadpole now a frog
how kicks and bucks the mule
shucks how dodges the duck
that's the lot it's all I've got
there's no more so you're in luck
The soft snowy body,the cute puffy face
The bulky swift creature,is never behind in race
The fully stretched being,often pretends to sleep
But,is always vigilant, having an eye to keep
Yor are dearest to me,no doubt...you are an Ace!!
A Fun or Humorous Clerihew about a famous person Poetry Contest
Tania Kitchin
My favorite musician is Taylor Swift
You see, she's fast becoming a gift
Her music leaves the audience spellbind
Where her presents are open to mankind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sun-dappled wings dart
swallows stitch the April sky
with threads of dawn's light.
Their shadows dance on warm stone,
writing spring in swift cursive.
we have the Kansas City Chiefs
The Royals
The fountains
and as of yesterday, Taylor Swift
We have barbeque
pork, beef, chicken
We have arts, and Midwest culture
and as of yesterday, Taylor Swift
We have parades, festivals, art fairs
and as of yesterday,
Well, you know…..
Come with me to the
meadows and enjoy
the bucolic life
of the unruffled
landscapes, amidst the
low hills by the cosy pool,
where we will bask in
the summer sun.
We will have a summer
vacation date that will
leave indelible prints
in our transient memories,
after we must have
explored our different
worlds on the smooth
and lush quiet green
of sunny Spain.
I am tired of Taylor Swift,
Her face I can not avoid.
I know you gals get my drift.
I love her, but am annoyed.
She has all those Swifty fans.
Isn't that enough for her?
All she does is sing and dance,
and is known throughout this
earth.
Her picture is everywhere!
Won't you give me a break Please?!
Kelce and her, are a pair.
Watch the Kansas city chiefs.
I turn the radio on.
You won't believe who I hear.
My daughter's favorite song.
You guessed wrong, it's Britney Spears.
Gotcha LOL

Taylor is a wonderful
performer but I think
they overcharge at her
concerts and parents
foot the bill for their
teenage kids...

Swifties Unite!
Mimi, Taylor's most insta-swifty, totally meowed
As she grabs some me time, she'll vote she vowed
I really must flush and shoo
Me lady needs the loo
Swifty Cat ladies unite! We’re smart, brave and proud!
Taylor's pretty swift, a single cat gal with grit
A brash gust of fresh air with verve drive and wit
Swifties exude grand elation
So goes Swift, so goes the nation!
Scared of big yeller bullies? Not one damn bit
She's strutting down the neon streets,
With a smile that the world can't beat.
Glitter rains from every note,
Catching fire in her velvet coat.
Crowds roar wild, the beat won't slow,
She's the spark that sets the show.
Dizzy lights and hearts that sway,
In her name, the night's in play.
Gold confetti, fame untamed,
A legacy with joy proclaimed.
Her tunes, they crash, a tidal wave,
On the stage, she's bold, she's brave.
In chaotic bliss, she spins so free,
A dance with fate, her jubilee.
From country twang to pop-star's crown,
Swift's the queen, and never down.
A shallow thinker of little integrity
A sycophant stinker and less empathy
A wanting to return to a golden age
which never existed,
with ludicrous rants that serve to enrage
Catty remarks weird and twisted...
Selflessly she married into a family,
it only makes her more inspiring
She won't hear the sounds of pitter patter,
Kamala, her husband and stepchildren matter!
Taylor Swift:
Her musical talent is a gift.
Her connection to her fans will not sever,
but we (she and I) will never, ever, ever get together!
