    An Anonymous Man Named Fortescue

    there once was a man who rocked
    you could tell just by the way he walked
    he was bigger than life
    and as sharp as a knife
    only dull whenever he talked

    Lol!

    Oncing

    There once
    was the word "once"
    it didn´t want to dance
    it much preferred to bounce.

    But it took in a situation
    at a glance,
    and it tasted of past.

    Went with bounce...

    my old umbrella

    my old umbrella
    made of green canvas fabric
    with one torn panel
    it is better than nothing
    it bounces when I let go

    down the garden path went I

    in my best Yoda speak, Darnay, whereby
    to an ancestral home I cannot deny
    where poets, and poetesses, wrote sometimes awry
    then where Agatha and Elizabeth kissed the sky
    I detectified and poetisized nigh
    I, McGonagall, like a Ferris wheel in July
    down the garden path went I
    to Fawlty Towers and logic (que?), in rich supply
    the answer, the reply, to whom the psalmists ally,
    to the ultimate question, forwhy ?
    is King Richard, the Petty, whom I decry,
    if down the garden path went I

    An Anonymous Man Named Tristin

    there once was a man in the æther
    who downloaded himself at his leisure
    but he wasn't too thorough
    and much to his sorrow
    he failed to remember where his teeth were

    An Anonymous Man Named Rupert T.

    Rupert T. was a man who oft walked
    Anytime he became writer's blocked
    He wrote for the pulps,
    Which gave him the gulps, yet
    There was nothing he couldn't concoct

    My excuses to Tristin and Rupert T.

    The big rumpus

    Little, little Minime
    and his sister Tripelte
    went to see the octopus
    took a big bus.

    Stapledoos was on the bus,
    and atacked Minime
    and her sister Tripelte.
    Minime and Tripelte
    made a big rumpus,
    until big Stpladoos
    Flew out of the bus.

    And that was the story
    of the great rumpus
    around Stapledoos
    that flew out of the bus
    because he atacked
    Minime and Tripelte.

    A mathematician named Gimme Five
    Who often went out for a drive
    Drove a fake Lamborghini

    The rebel

    A highjacked poem
    lost its rhyme
    It said: Oh fine!
    Now I am free
    Nothing holds me.

    A shuffling of "A Fantasy" / a poem by Sara Teasdale

    Beneath Dreams

    Her falls Quiet like the water
    That is far roses
    That arches
    Where sits forests thoughts a lotus
    Abloom upon clear plays glow alone.

    Her stone closes In and are
    Where Her temple is the kisses silent
    Where are by while the Quiet is asleep. and drips
    Quiet Persian like dusk voice garden deep
    In sacred streams
    Beneath dreams.

    Beautiful images!

    Fanciful fireflies
    Dance to the sound
    Of a near fountain.
    In the background
    the night sighs
    under the weight
    of centuries of
    secret sounds
    and sorrows.

    A mash up of "To Sleep" by John Keats... http://keats-poems.com/to-sleep/

    Sleep!

    Sleep! so key for with it will wait
    soft from breeding like the passèd
    or curious of seal ere close of deftly still,
    In my conscience, throws Its pillow,
    Around the fingers its light,
    Enshaded the midst, thy and me my charities;
    save thee Then careful in the please;

    Turn thine darkness, hushèd the divine;
    O, forgetfulness hymn, wards, mole
    And many casket from strength of poppy
    soothest my benign bed O this willing soul
    Our burrowing if the lulling amen, a woes;
    Save eyes, gloom-pleased my lords,
    embalmer that oilèd embower’d shine
    in still the day Upon Shutting eyes,
    Or midnight! me
