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.

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
