Poetry for the long haul

Since the place where I was posting these may disappear soon I was thinking I would hate to have these poems also disappear too. So brace yourself...

TULIPS
"Eyes hurt from the glare of the snow.
I glance behind me only to be blinded
by the sun glinting off the slush.
My tulips have died!"

Whimper...
Whimpering comes from behind
I play my games with your mind.
My verse is horrible
but at least it rhymes...
Sometimes!

Spur of the Moment
Spur of the moment I always regret
I lack the imagination nay wit
to complete the comeback needed.

Ducky
A ducky sits beside me
Yellow, fluffy and clean
Orange legs once ripped off
Lovingly sewn back on
What do you mean the duck's name is Daisy?

I actually really like this next one.

The Favour
Noble Aspirations glint off his armor
The Silken Lady swoons in the heat
His Fiery Charger snorts his challenge
An Embroidered Favour floats onto the field
Only to be trampled underneath shod hooves
Guess he won't be winning that Lady's Heart!

If only
If only a lover would take my hand
If only I were in love
If only a baby would cry for me
If only I were a mom
If only I could see things clearly
If only I could see
If only I had a friend to hold me
Then I know I would be loved.

Tomatoes
Tomatoes red and sweet
Ripe, juicy and squishy to eat.
Possibilities galore with this simple fruit
Salsa, sauces, sliced or compote
Yum!
No you bum...
It is not a vegetable
now where's my next fable!

Unwit
Bow down before my foibles!
I will conquer thee with my unwit!
(Oops that was supposed to be thou - oh well)
Thy screams will drown out the cries of laughter
As I watch the tears stream down
When will you break...
Never hopefully I would hate to have you restart!

This another one I really like. It almost sounds like an actual poem.

Listen as the nightingales sing
The blue of the moon
is the colour of your eyes
Listen as the nightingales sing

Our song is as old as time
Yet the young play it for free
Never knowing they are mere things

I serve you as I would a master
One who is bold and wise
Yet your heart I can never bring

The shadows which shroud your joy
Keep you apart from me
So to your happiness I do cling

Yet happiness is only a word
One which you deplore
On this cold sandy beach I fling

When you are old I will be safe
From your inconsiderate lies
Listen to the nightingales sing.

A cat
A cat on my lap
Wants a nap
Shall she get it - no!
For soon I will have to go.
After all we need groceries and it is 10% off at the grocery store and we need milk, juice, diapers, snacks, meat.....
Oh what the heck I am such a sap.

Red Bumblebee Express
Blue hippopotamus,
Flying monkey squirrel,
Pink flamingo dragons
and a chesire cottontail.

Gold armored armadillos,
A black lion Lab,
Yellow straight-jacketed penguins
and blind balding eagles.

Enjoy your in flight movie on the
Red Bumblebee Express.

A fever dream
A fever dream
A castle flying high
An imaginary sight
Of an aardvark shy
I really wish someone could tell me
Why is it when I am sick
All I want is for someone to hold me

The blizzard
The blizzard rages on
as the town shivers inside
their homes.
Blankets strewn across
their bodies huddled
together for warmth.
Meager as it is
will it be enough?
Snow flakes whirl
around the white topped
houses of cold.
A single bell peals
as a new day dawns
Darkly.
Still laughter can
be heard from inside
one tiny hut.
After all they
are reciting poetry...

When things go bad
When things go bad
We all get mad
and say the cad
was just a fad
and then we're sad.

Rudeness
Rudeness strikes a brittle heart
like an arrow piercing a glass bowl.
Kindness hides a shy smile
like a child holding black coal.
Anger shouts down a faint mind
like a tidal wave hitting a shoal.
Empathy guides a wavering step
as a friend goes for their goal.
Piece of mind comes from not
backing down as your story is told.
Instead I get tangled blankets
