A Young Lady’s Vice

A young lady who is extremely nice

Is known for her love of vice.

She is fond of cake

And loves a good steak.

And now lets discuss that girl’s vice …

 

Moriah’s Satire

I know a young lady named Moriah

Who says, “our lives are a satire!”

I say to her, “Fay,

We are in a play!”

And she says, “my name is Moriah!”

Miss Chancer the Dancer

I am marrying a young lady named Chancer

Who has a job as an erotic dancer.

She thinks I have money

And calls me her honey –

But, dear reader, I am also a chancer …

Kafkaesque

A young man sitting at his desk

Said, “your poems are so very Kafkaesque!”

When I said, “how so?”

He said, “I don’t know!

But The Trial will come nonetheless!”

Matt’s Hat

I know a young man named Matt

Who wears a very fine hat.

He sits on the ground

And says nothing profound.

But he wears a very fine hat!

I Go out in the Rain

I go out in the rain

Again and Again

My mind on poetry.

The ground smells fresh

Of life and death

And I return again and again

To the rain

Thinking on poetry

And my mortality

The Passing Year

Should I shed a tear

For the dying year?

I survived a brain abscess

And lived to see the tree undress

In autumn.

 

My hair has longed turned white.

I can not fight

The passage of time.

Yet take delight

In this brief rhyme

Of life.

 

All things pass.

Yet my glass

Is at least half full.

 

 

The weather is dull

But I still hear the steady tick tock

Of the clock

On the wall

And relish these fallen leaves

For I, as they

Must pass away.

Stream of Consciousness Ramblings

My stream of consciousness runs

As the clock ticks.

The night is dark.

My heart is part dark.

I hear the TV

In the other room.

I imagine a girl’s perfume

But it is just I

Alone, unable to call.

Yet I may fall again

When I return to the capital city.

I can be witty

And I have desired pretty

Girls. I still do so,

But know

The night is cold

And I grow old

As the clock ticks the hours away.

In May

Girls dance around the pole.

I desire women and wine,

But time is short

And what I ought

To do

Is …

But to kiss

A girl’s soft lips

And for it to be meaningful

Would kill

This itch of mine

For women and wine.

Or perhaps I lie

To myself.

It is a truism

That wealth can not buy

Happiness.

Yet I

Continue to lie …

 

Cupid’s Bow

She wore heels

And brought a short

Dress to fulfil his fantasy.

 

 

They drank wine

To kill the time

And hide

The emptiness they both denied.

 

His transfer

Made everything fair and square.

And no arrow fell

From Cupid’s bow.
