Our Better Angels - typo corrected
On this radiant moment, a ceiling
of new moon beguiles the park-lane
where the breeze tosses its wings,
lit by a fluorescent in a haze I can't
comprehend--- a whip of angst encircles
my despair unrelenting to the beat
of a warm summer eve so glorious;
and yet, my spirit drowns from pain,
from the absence of love 's loss in ruins--
there is

Lubricious Kind Of Potion -- slight typo corrected
The curved fondle of an embrace
within the moistened kindle
of an evening's oiled lamp...
the splendor of your lubricious mouth
gathering all that's aflame and gentle
and I will find the slippery blue of eyes
dressed in your lavish kiss---
never knowing this potion of alchemy:
Dare I blink bewitched by
a caress of such pleasure
drip by drip ,

Blackbird -- slight typo corrected
What is that, 'midst gray silhouette
A night-winged creature slips, beset?
Fluttering through pampas and ground
Mellow the dulcet trails of sound
O blackbird, my breaths awaken
By soft chimes...this angst forsaken
Glimmering 'neath still of moonlight ,
I find peace in warlber's hymned flight !

Tommy Turkey - typo edit
Tommy Turkey revealed that last year
Farmer Joe made old friends disappear.
To the new birds he said,
“Heed my words or be dead
should that farmer with axe reappear.”
The new birds thought his tale was a fable.
Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.”
To the corn field he fled
while his dumb friends instead
ended up on a Thanksgiving table.

Timmy Had a Long Fat Snake-Edited For a Typo
(Parody of "Mary Had a Little Lamb")
Timmy had a long fat snake, long fat snake, long fat snake.
Timmy had a long fat snake; its skin was green and slick.
He showed it to the little girls, little girls, little girls.
He showed it to the little girls, and most of them got sick.
He let is slither down

The Ruby Rose - Typo Fixed
The ruby rose that I once knew
was graceful, mild, and oh so sweet.
I put down roots near her and grew
to understand she was discreet.
Though in her garden all seems well,
the ruby rose that I once knew
has secrets that she hates to tell.
Her lovely petals hide what’s true.
I learned too well what would ensue
when one disturbs

Typo In the Title
An unsightful eyeful
a typo in the title
missed when published
notably rubbish
the best poem ever
appears so unclever
I'm and not I
I'm not know why
I'm did not know-tice
though I'm wrote the rhyme
Surely I didn't
but maybe I did
posting such rubbish
I'did I'am I'is stupid

Typo
I’m an educated idiot,
Who’s learned to hold a pen.
I find a bit of paper,
And I write things now and then.
My punctuations lacking,
And my spellin is absurd.
My handwriting, so dreadful,
I can hardly read a word.
But I’ve found a way to hide this,
And don’t have to bear the shame.
I just type it on my keyboard,
The computer gets

The Funniest Typo
A poet who was very late for a contest,
submitted a long poem on line, but
misspelled Zareba for Zebra!
Darn it, he was thinking of wild Africa!
Didn't it cost him points and a pain in the chest?

Vignette-Typo Graphical Text
In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!
