Care to share some of your poetic charm?

Share your fun, silly, literary, or otherwise, poetic talents!
I’ll kick it off with some humorous verbosity. :-)

This is my poem
I love reading tomes
I don’t like speaking on the phone, I feel distant and alone
I don’t want to be home
It’s hard living on your own
Sometimes I want to roam
I once danced in foam
I also lost my comb

Ok I’m sorry lol.

The Hormone defense

In the wee hours of the morning,
my hormones rock n roll
I wander to the kitchen
and towards the candy bowl

I’m faint of heart and clammy skinned
the house is very still
That hot flash got me thinking
I’d like to watch ” Kill Bill”.

I unwrap a piece of chocolate
medicinal, of course
Thirty seven pieces later
still I feel no remorse

I ponder moving to Great Briton
where PMS is a defense
hormonal crime of passion
need not have to make much sense

It could be as simple as
he brushed against my tender breast
The last thing I remember is
the ice pick in his chest

I’d laugh aloud, ” I’m sure a nut”
I didn’t mean to do it
It happened so very fast
” I know, I know, I blew it!”

The judge and jury would convene
united they’d agree
to serve a lengthy sentence
of tea and sympathy

And with great understanding
of a womans fragile hell
they’d pass the hat, to buy me lunch
and order Taco Bell.

Can it be not silly? I totally have these emo goth poems I keep writing, and might like to show some.
Well they are kinda silly, in that they take themselves too seriously. Just asking in case this isn’t what you’re wanting lol.

No more poetry for me

Except for limericks…

What I Am
Not altruistic
Not benevolent
Not patient

In love though,
I will want to give you every thing.
I will ask for things too.
Maybe things you don’t expect,
Maybe things you’ll tell me a man can’t do.

It seems everyday
I find something new
I can’t do as well
As I thought I could do.

@Coloma, that was hilarious. I feel you sister.

Oh, the internet is really fowl
But Fluther takes away my scowl
For minutes, hours, days and weeks
I laugh ‘till there’s pain in my cheeks
My faithful, friendly, Jelly folk
Can always tell a funny joke
There’s Chuck, there’s Zen, and all the best
And our mods blow away the rest
And to this website, I always roam
Boy, I’m glad that it’s my (temp.) home.

Freestyle, BOOM

@Joker94 That fucking rocked.

@Symbeline Thank you! :D For the record, I’d love to hear some of your poetry too!

There once was a snake from Japan
who sprouted an arm like a man.
With new dexterity
he plead for charity
for now he could handle a pan.

This is a poem my brother wrote:

It must have been that Oreo
That turned my shit so brown, you know
But there is one thing I must ask
Where’d the creamy filling go?

@Coloma Thanks. Making limericks are a hobby of mine.

Of dogs and men

Do not lift your leg on me
and spatter up my day
you’ll find another fence post
further down the way

Do not scratch upon my door
late into the night
I have no meaty bone to give
my cupboards closed up tight

Take your whining, whimpering self
and growl on down the road
but leave my grass unspoiled
from your odorous load

You will not soil my domain
with your smelly scent
I’ve learned my lessons, solidly
my love of dogs is spent

There was a time when manly charms
and puppy breath
would send me for a loop
But nothing’s cute enough these days
to compensate for poop!

@Coloma Dogs are so loyal, though! Even unto death…

A drum made with skin from a hound
made a very frightening sound
like the dog’s old howl.
We kept it near fowl
to frighten all foxes around.

What thine eyes have seen
Twas my heart beating
Lips of red glisten
In mere memory
Stinging

Dogs upset the balance on my little micro farm. ;-)

Clears throat in readiness for his masterpiece of oratory.

There once was a vampire called Mabel….......(stay with me on this one.)
Whose periods were rather unstable…....... (you still there?)
So every full moon…......(won’t be long now)
With the aid of a spoon….....(here it comes)
She’d drink herself under the table…....(whaddya mean, it wasn’t worth the wait!?! I dunno, everyone’s a critic! ;¬}

Laying here staring
Through smoke and flame
Reflecting shards of broken heart
Bring nothing but pain
