Word Play Poems

Yada, yada, yada;
I slipped and fell and I twist my tongue;
Spoke so ravenishly datta, cotta lata;
Dislodged wit coal miner’s lung;

See Porky spit"Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th... That's all FOLKS!"
Penny Henry  laid me sum eggs flung,
I’d sli, sli, slip and fell and...Read More

Fortunately, this family friendly function,
finds me festive and not feisty in my fifties.
Forgive me if I am not the first
and you may have figured out,
that the fact-finding letter "F"
is my favorite letter
of the alphabet.
There are three thousand words
that start with...Read More

No matter how diligently you've mastered Kung Fu 
You can never stand the force of a great typhoon.
If you try, you're only calling yourself a nincompoop
For it will sweep you away as the wind does balloon.
Among the homos, none can,...Read More

"Between the Hours"



If I had stopped to search 
your page, again…
decoded somehow
what you had written

Between the hours

Surreal a.m. 
3.33
I would have lost the time 
to write you into my own story

The Dream

Strip searched against that Wall
where transparent 
stands a ghost...Read More

i feel the pierce
of each tiny shard
wafting through air
as that glass shatters
in echoes against walls

 my blood
splatters the same
as it falls down




i am fine...just musing...

our, handsome Trudeau-
grew a beard quite sinister,
oh, prime minister;
you look odd with a grey beard,
and black hair- it just looks weird !

Sexy Sally sips sweet sarsaparillas

stirring senses at Sam's soda store.

Six sarsaparillas Sam serves sexy Sally.

Smitten, struck, Sam surely seeks to score.

Glue sticks stick together paper
Chop sticks might stick food in your mouth
Lip sticks bring attention to lips
Chap sticks make sure they don't go south!

And some known as finger lickin'

on the verge of love,
mutual discovery unveiled
in their secret world;
lips to lips ,sealed,
hearts in passion pound
ardour's whispers sound;
need unchains desire,
pleasure's fever fans a fire,
each flame thrusting higher;
in duet's crescendo choir
realisation exceeds hope,
promise, with trust elope;

enchantment metamorphose
as love,sublime,grows

An inkwell cupcake if you please.
Frost it with adverbs.
Sprinkle it with adjectives.
Don’t be stingy.
You can add more.
Make it glitter.
Make it pop!
Startle yourself.
Bake it whatever degree
Coleridge, Whitman, Thoreau and Poe would have used.
