The Cling of Fencing Victory: A freestyle poem

 

It begins with a swing

Followed by a metallic cling

Dull blade cutting through open air

Countered with enormous care

Uncomfortable, stiff, and thick protection

But you’ll be grateful when you have a slow reaction

And now a pattern is beginning to set

Of thrusts and parries, no change yet

Redundant block after block after block

Time is slowing on the clock

 

Thrust

Pary

Thrust

Pary

Thrust

Pary

Delay

Save victory for another day

 

S’mores: a concrete/picture poem

 

S’more are absolutely, completely, totally,  and entirely delicious  

Covered in gooey, delicious, scrumptious, chocolate

Next comes the bloated marshmallow

Accidentally burnt to a charcoaled crisp

But the inside is still pure and fresh

Taking up most of the space

So oversized it’s slowly oozing out

More gooey, delicious, scrumptious, chocolate

S’mores are absolutely, completely, totally, and entirely delicious

A stanza that rhymes

Standing the hard test of time

They’re hardly a crime

 

Talking Horse Limerick

 

There was once a talking horse

And he talked a lot, of course!

But when the clock struck four

He could talk no more

And could only communicate with morse!

The Grim Rabbit: A Limerick

 

There is an immortal rabbit who lives on a farm

Who, they say, has no charm

But no has ever actually met him

So all the stories are quite dark and grim

And will fill you with alarm!

 

The Bird: A Freestyle Poem

 

Looking down

All around

I could only see enormous height

I can not fly

I said with a sigh

But, nonetheless, I am a bird

 

Here I am stuck

In this twiggy muck

That some call a nest

I am anxious

Almost too conscious

There is a no way I can rest

 

Again I look down

And all around

Maybe I can fly

So I think

I am on the brink

And I think I will try

 

With one last breath

I am ready to face death

And I take a leap a faith

I can feel the air

With every care

Waiting for the outcome

 

I can not fly.

 

No, I can soar.

 

Small Moments Poem: The Bus Ride

 

Still drying from the oceans of sleep,

She boards the bus

And plops down on a seat.

Alone except for a some younger kids,

She struggles to stay awake.

Silence surrounds her,

Almost as if she could push it away

And subject herself to noise.

She looked around at the countryside,

Stealing one last bit of the view, and noted how in

All its’ serene glory, it was

Always the same, never to change

 

The Haiku Haiku

 

I like to write them

A five, seven, five pattern

Pockets of feelings

Cheeseburgers: Yet Another Acrostic Poem

 

Cheesy goodness

Hidden in oversized, sesame seed buns

Ever tasty,

Ever delicious

Smothered in ketchup

Eagerly waiting to be eaten

Blindingly superior to other foods

Usually greasy

Regularly beefy

Gigantic

Elaborately topped 

Simply sumptuous
