[Turtle]

in rasped the gasps,

as *** out gassed,

then round the room,

the blame got passed.

[Queso]

Flap a butt cheek

whip past the night

of the light

s the way

[Turtle]

clicking ice in my glass dings,

sudden bang and in door flings,

quicking colt again peace brings,

horsy nickers, cowboy sings.

:xmas_sheep:

[Turtle]

oh to go beyond a line,

to cross a fence, to risk a fine,

to self-see from another's tracts,

the roots of their beclouded facts.

[Loricybin]

i'm floating,

ever so gently-

the light,

it grows heavier.

[Turtle]

lo the dulcet floating goes,

cacophonous din in overthrows,

dipping paddle dripping rows,

gliding light-struck past the woes.

[Turtle]

if Spring

is a promise made

then Fall

is a promise kept

[Turtle]

keats' hope reprise

 

past leaving your crowded yard you run,

or loving oratory release your mind from glee,

afore all nightmares trace your voice alight,

or the lush forest shunning death hides all seed.

A Quatrain of Self-Aware Quatrains

Nelson Thompson

 

This quatrain would like to express its appreciation for

The second line points out that there isn't enough room in a

Third line; pointless; this is the wrong format in which

The fourth line apologizes for the futility of even trying to

 

Why does this second quatrain even care if its core message

Is read and appreciated by curious and discerning readers?

Could it be that these last two lines must carry the burden

Of explaining ... alas, but they have predictably run out of

 

This, the first line of the third quatrain, has the idea

That if it and the second line explain the message very rapidly

The third line wishes to inform the first two lines that they

Unfortunately, the fourth line must sadly point out that

 

This quatrain wishes to complain vehemently about the

Stupid choice of the quatrain form in which to elucidate

The third line will now attempt to complete that thought by

Even if this, the fourth line, attempts to assist, failure will be

[Turtle]

a challenge is as a challenge does,

and four lines need it be,

if such a corner too tight fits,

Poems Of Any Length for we.

:naughty:

[Turtle]

when verse & line come to the fours,

ten times that thieves needs pound my doors,

so out comes i with lions roars,

unholstered duce o' forty fores.

Ode to a Fart #2:

A fart can be short

Or a fart can be long

Some farts have been known

To sound like a song

 

:)

[Turtle]

when 'hind the veil dissembly wings,

butt still a fluff from out there sings,

i call it so with verve & ease,

that dude right there hath cut the cheese.

whither will whose want we weigh,

of stars on far or seeds sought say,

afield at night in flowers lay,

& therein keep the moon abay.

Creaking stairs of ash-born planks

Underneath there lives a skank

To hunt and howl at every footstep

The stairs are creaking, what will you get

 

Trick or treat! :evil:

(too soon?) :hyper:

[Turtle]

a jack has awoke to scream, skulk & prowl,

its festering flesh all rotten & foul,

but just this one eve gleams that lighted grim skowl,

for the morrow's black earth will silence the howl.

:hihi:
