Oh, mommy and daddy, please hear my plea
Don't sit your children on Santa Claus' knee
He's too touchy feely
Eyes are hard and steely
He's soused from too many a martini
I hate to call ol' Saint Nick a boozer
But to tell the truth, he's just a loser
Soused more than a tiddly
He's not worth a diddly
Too much hooch turns him into a schmoozer
Christmas tree. Decorated Christmas tree...
On your green branches, don't let Santa pee
He gets a bit foggy
Thinking he's a doggy
He'll lift a leg and expose his peewee
Stern stakes
Mind makes
Fear fake
Sad streak
Wit weak
Prompts peak
Stray sift
Loud lift
Guides gift
Noose near
Freaks fear
Clots clear
Taste touch
Mull much
Sweat such
Game glides
Sure slide
Poor pride
Know keep
Soft sleep
Prize peep

Bombastic is touchy,
laconic is catchy.
I'm a Touchy Feely Guy
By Franklin Price
12/17/2017
I'm a touchy feely guy
Who loves his fellow man
Loves patting people on the back
And shaking other's hands
Love telling women they look good
If indeed they do
May give you such a compliment
If I come in touch with you
I'm not a rich and powerful
Not an influential man
Only want to say you're looking good
Not to pinch you on the can
Don't want to take you to a bar
Or put drugs in your drink
Just want to make you smile a bit
When I tell you what I think
What I do, I'm told not right
Words could be taken wrong
Could be seen as just a pervert
With compliments that don't belong
So I guess I'll stop my practice
Of complimenting what I spy
Try hard not to look at you
Won't say hi when passing by
Maybe I'll just stay at home
Do my shopping on the net
Then I'll have no interactions
With anyone I might regret
Tease a fond smile,
Orbs of fine wiles;
Unzip your lips,
Choose jest to trip;
Hurl song and dance,
Yield crazy chance;
Free your dazed mind,
Expand new finds;
Exult in ease,
Let pleasure please;
Yes wit works best,
Allow loose zest;
Waste away gall,
Etch joy that calls;
Set will to cheer,
Opt happy here;
Mould passion's fling,
End purpose sings.

if i can't see it
it's not there
if i can't touch it
it doesn't exist
my question my friend is only two
can you see love
sent from above
can you touch emotions
that make us feel so not alone.
Between two cotyledons— plant grows with a bud!
With two lines— couplets come into flower with an idea.
Sometimes, two lines may be more powerful than two hundred lines.
Small verses like couplets are really beautiful.
They speak and touch with peace— as Poems for Life.
Couplet— I
Watering rain on the leaves
Orchid plant mutely sleeps
Couplet— II
Under the pillow raining night
Memory coins may or might!
Couplet— III
All green buds grows yellow
Plant or animal must follow!
Couplet— IV
Shooting stars proclaimed that
No one ever will be mate…
Couplet— V
How the moon came into being
The way fishes sleep and sing
Ashraful Musaddeq
warmth
can melt
and dissolve,
a smile thaws the
ice-
a caress
can brighten
eyes full of
grace-
lips
to lips,
in embrace..
will enrich the
soul
