How high the bar that makes a poet Real!
(He walks in mists, and shadows of himself)
To be a poet, is to burn with steel
Set short time in the forge, the lesser self!
He brands his heart with fiery words, set down
And burns his mind with thinking, ‘til it glows,
He hopes, of sonnets, his will be the Crown,
And hopes that all the brilliance of light, shows!
But, oftener, he writes a humble piece,
A few words cramped into a simple form,
But somehow, in his feelings, a release!
Yes, humble-bumble often is the norm.
And that high bar, he reaches seldom, and
Leaves barefoot footprints in the fruity sand.

Will poems to my dull senses rise,
In plainer garb, or apt disguise?
Can turn of phrase else serve an end,
To vanquish foes or win a friend?
What ardor gains a rhyme’s release,
To grant me treasured moment’s peace?
Or is it merely hubris’ child,
That lets me dream I’m Oscar Wilde!

funny, on writing and words
I despair at writing poetry
I'm not sure I have the skill
Just can't seem to find the words
Or bend them to my will
It's hard to sum up what I mean
And make it sound succinct
So as a poet should I stop
And quietly go extinct?
Should I lay my pen to rest
And let it gather dust?
But something seems to urge me on
To write is now a must!
So putting pen to paper
I'll scribble just for fun
And maybe one day very soon
A poet I'll become!

A Lyrical Chef we'll call 'Dre',
whips up Writes for her Poem buffet.
She bakes Words into Rhyme
and roasts Prose in the time
it takes most just to cook a Cliché!

No rhyme
This time.
Re-thought
Still naught.
Read books
Got looks.
Brain nap
A sap?
More rest
Flunked test.
Online
Not fine.
Didn’t learn
Still yearn.
Free verse
Got worse.
Poet?
Forget.
Tried hard
No bard!

oh what a wonderful group we make
as we pen our poems and take a break
our traits range from weird to strange
in all probability certifiably deranged
leaving legacies of genius in our wake

Be patient
be very very patient
after that
add more patience
then wait
and wait
and wait and wait and wait
become a waiter
at least you will be paid to wait
When she finally finally arrives
give her the biggest smile you possibly possess
tell her, "Hello love, you are early and
looking very majestically beautiful my sweet!
what have you done to your hair love?"
since you have waited a century or two or three
it's a safe gamble she has, and you my friend
will be a big winner.
Therefore when you wait and wait and wait
be a winner
even skeletons
smile

This form repeats too much, I say.
It’s hard to write a villanelle—
I’ll try again some other day.
My rhyme begins without delay;
It’s going fine, then—what the hell?
This form repeats too much, I say.
Doggone it! This is not okay!
I’m under some nefarious spell.
I’ll try again some other day.
But no, I cannot stay away.
I breathe, then smell that same old smell:
This form repeats too much, I say.
I took the bait; I’ve fallen prey;
The crude result I cannot tell—
I’ll try again some other day.
And thus I end this odd ballet.
(I’ve really never danced too well.)
This form repeats too much, I say;
I’ll try again some other day.

My muse is in a whirl
For she just doesn’t have a clue
Am I eligible to enter this contest …
I really don’t know what to do!
My age is of no concern to anyone but me
I may be twenty-one or I may be eighty three
Our friend retired at 35, I don’t class that as old
Fortunately for him his investments all struck gold
I’ve been posting on soup for well over a year
Therefore I can’t enter a ‘new’ poets contest
Does this make me an old poet?
Can I enter this ‘Old Poets’ contest - that is my dilemma!

Will one write an Ogden Nash?
A touch o' wink, bit a blink
And then, add a glint o' guile...
Doing all, with wryest smile.
Or could it come out "Mish-Nashed"?
Since Nash, he himself, had mashed
His isms into witticisms
Leaving most in a mad dash -

two poets names spring immediately to mind
when I feel a little low their poems I find
Jack with his limericks make me giggle for sure
to the point where I nearly have a puddle on the floor
if I said this to Jan I know her reaction would be
to smile all day and write a poem about me.
so thank you Jack and Jan your doing so well
writing for others to enjoy, your funny tales to tell
keep writing both of you don't stop
or my days of laughter would immediately flop.
thank you Jack Ellison and Jan Allison

Here ye! Here ye! Here ye!
Starting a new business I am
“Rent A Poetry Man” I call it
I'll come to your house in a van
For a nominal fee of just a dollar
I will fashion a poem for you
To suit any happy occasion
So you'll remember the do
I will offer a cute little ditty
Even give it a tune if I must
But I expect as part of the deal
You will offer me cake I trust
So look me up, let's make a deal
I'm in the book under “P”
It stands for happy “Poetry Man”
It describes this bloke to a “T”

Am I vomiting?
Or do I throw down instead of up.
Singing with a sudden frown,
In barf upon a promised gown.
I wore it to prom as a virgin.
I wore it on my wrist.
A flower wrapped around the list,
Of ankles cankled ‘neath a face unkissed.
I’m a pimple.
Pop me till I puke.
Until the thrill of the up I chuck,
Quacks like a drunken duck.
Or high like the school?
Drooling with the fellow mule.
Assing through town unable to procreate.
The father’s horse and mom’s whatever.
Hybrids are for textbooks.
Useless as the diploma.
I forgot the words to the theorem,
I forgot the words above them.
Am I vomiting?
Am I poeting?
I threw down instead of up.

My mind a project of hesitation;
draw an oval maze of meditation.
Enter penciled lines, make them squiggly,
then paint it yellow for Mr. Wigley.
Squeeze a few lemons for it’s sometimes sour,
then let it dry for half an hour.
Stick here and there some golden stars,
before you inscribe my memoirs.
Use a hole punch or glue on swiss cheese;
for between my ears, sometimes a breeze.
Last, but not least, cover with cotton;
for the time it's fuzzy and things forgotten.
Then tear it all up, this art you’ve designed,
because suddenly Hon, I’ve changed my mind.

A hopelessly poetic guy met
A scientist studying climate.
Nearly all that she said
Went right over his head,
But at least he was able to rhyme it.

"Must you always rhyme?",said he.
"Must you be a show-off?",said she.
"Each comment a grand show of your jocularity,"she huffed.
"Ah, you are just so jealous,"he puffed
"Not really,"said she' with serenity.
"I just know you are capable of sonnetry."
"But instead,lazily you pen footies,"
Hardly sourced from the great Muses!

I am not terribly bright
I simply like a good write
so that's how it goes
no skin off my nose
I hope I don't cause a fright
~
Paper and pen in my hand
Poems begin as I planned
They go their own way
I pound them like clay
With each one I make my stand
~
Rhymes that always have meter
They act a whole lot sweeter
They love being voiced
Each of them I hoist
Inside til I complete her

There's a certain cunning ham named Tom
Who once crafted limericks with aplomb
Lately, no funny new lims
Has Tom's funny bone dimmed -- NO
His computer's been infected with ROM!

Don't corner the writer – put
him in a cage and poke; you
like Shakespeare...then read
Shakespeare! And let the writer
be his own rhyming or ill rhymed-bloke.
To me, mistakes, imperfections –
spontaneous glitches, as I prefer to
call them – send me into joyful stitches;
a fresh exhibition of relatable nature –
the transformation of perfection into
Human Interest. So, let the writer
be his or her own protagonist, or Free-willed
blessed Nemesis. Write and read whatever
tickles you pickles you...and let Mike be Mike,
and Jane
be a literal-pain
to her personable like.

Did you hear the one about the three poets that went walking in the woods?
They bumped into each other at the fork in the woods.
None of them knew which way to go.
(They should have all taken that path less taken I think)
So, they sat down together and wrote a long collaborative poem.

Once a muse named Christina
who had the wisdom of Athena
made a suggestion
sage without question
and I followed into that arena
she recommended that I write
‘bout fairy tale characters with bite
now there are many
to choose aplenty
I’ll be writing late into the night
Although Christina does not know it
she's turned me to a kind of poet
who can be silly
write willy nilly
and be careful that I don't blow it!

These three things I have learned today,
no, not just one or two;
The lessons here I have to say
came while I Souped with you.
Real friendship gained has great value
there’s pleasure in it too;
though I expect not all of you
would want my friendship, true?
Another thing I’ve learned is that
when in doubt learn to ask -
‘Tis better to have known the fact
than make a big faux pas.
And still there’s that third lesson here:
Though one thinks he has class,
Soupers will know if not sincere
and be after his a$$.
*To all Soupers, this is not a slam, just having a blast with the gang!
